  1. delightful little cynical swipe here http://www.counterpunch.org/2014/07/18/netanyahus-operation-stupidity/ there is a twisted symbiotic relationship between the warring parties going on innit

That's a very different thing. That is my point. His spat regarding Srebrenica has more resonance with reference to the situation being disucssed.
  3. you know you are playing with fire when you dare to quote Noam on here ( Noam chomsky, otherwise know as the bleeding heart liberal LIAR chomsky, gencide denier and fascist dictator apologist blah blah blah )
  4. I fell asleep on the night bus and woke up in Penge once.It was like arriving in a real life planet of the apes world, a vision of a distopian future.
  5. what is this sexist shit ?
  6. In his defence ( urgh) He did say that this occupation should not impact the existing non jewish population at all.
  7. these are people who actually buy and play Nick cave stuff. it was always going to be a thread constructed of finely woven fail. innit

  9. the rockets value are in propaganda, not destruction. read yer Marighella from '69
  10. we have a self perpetuating siege mentality on both sides - it feeds on itself and the cycle continues. It is in Israels & the Palestinian political class interests to keep this going, if not explicitly, then implicitly ,however much this may rankle.Everyone wins, except those who are getting slaughtered on both sides. not until the heads of this awful beast are removed will anything significant happen that could bring stability to the region.
  11. The twisted thing is that if the Merican electorate decided to drop their Christian fundamentalist unwavering support for Israel, things will move very quickly- and probabaly for the better. We europeans have to be partly responsible for the setup of israel, but its ongoing maintenance is rooted in fecking blinkered selfish christian evangelists from shitsville KY. Your gods are not the gods of love and harmony Have a look at barbara victors " the last crusade" for a dig into the filth pit that these vermin reside
  12. the whole thing is just so fecking depressing. I cant be arsed to make any kind of point / backhanded sneering comment. what a fecking mess
  13. How come the best Universities in Germany charge on 250 EUR a term and seem to prosper ?

  15. I know.Vince Cable is the marinus van der lubbe of this century - a deluded sap who is going to be remembered for taking the blame for everything that the cleggster and disco dave have sidestepped.
  16. get this lot sorted in default category tranches. Mix them up a bit to hide the high risk bits amongst the low risk stuff, get them renamed as student loand bonds, get them marked as AAA by the rating agencies and flog them to retail investors who dont know any better. this cannot fail.
  17. you old cynic you - fancy thinking that energy grab is behind St Tones interest in the ME
  18. Not seen this particular line before.oh no, 100% new to me
  19. Dunno - Im not seeing anyone cross over from either side on the basis of the this scuffle.Its only the recent in a long list of territorial scuffles - if anything, given the Syrian situation and the very real threat of proper off the leash nutters banging on Israels doors, I can only see opinions hardening. Sad as it is, nothing has really been done to alleviate the past 40 years of bother there so far, I dont see this incursion making any lasting difference either way. Maybe its about time TBlair got out of his ermine trimmed board seat at JP Morgan and sprinkled a bit of his magic fairy dust on the region and see if he can fix it - like he did with eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeraq and Afhghanistan
