64 … Israel bears no comparison to Saddam’s Iraq. To use your debating methodology..That statement is bilge.
Fifty Pence … I’m a decent person. I’m certainly against atrocities. I’m definitely appalled at the events of October 7th, the murder, abuse and kidnapping of men, women and children. Not to mention the thousands of rockets which rained down on Israeli citizens for weeks in the build up. If and when Israel finally makes a drastic response to the thousands of missiles being launched by Hizbullah from Lebanon … strangely ignored by most media ..I anticipate further vilifying of Israel. They probably won’t however be vilified by the 100,000 Israelis currently displaced from homes , businesses and communities for the last 6 months. I also hate the carnage of war ..but accept that Government’s have a duty to defend and rescue their own citizens.
If we want genuine atrocities to wring our hands over then, if Hamas and Hizbullah and Iran are going to be given a free pass for some perverse reason by ‘decent people’, then how about the butchery in Syria or the real and current genocide in Sudan? I suspect that the real answer is this …there’s no Jews involved!
To go one step further. What year was Pakistan ‘created’? How many deaths have been a consequence of that decision? Is any ‘decent person’ calling for the termination of that country? No. There’s no Jews involved you see.
I could wish that my questions and challenges would produce a reasoned discussion where my points are properly addressed ..but I suspect that the responses will be more from the 64 school of debate. I hope not.
