What exactly was deranged about what he said?


Will they eradicate Israel with their rockets? No


Will their people continue to die as long as they fire the rockets? Most likely



I don't think Steveo has saod anywhere that Israel are behaving correctly, but if I was an average Palistinian person right now, I think I'd want Hamas to stop "representing" me.

Steveo's ranting and reactionary spouting is as bad as those he is railing against. Right now as a direct result of no intervention from the US or the West, Palestinians as dying in disproportionate numbers to Jews. Otta what would you have the Palestinians do? They've had land stolen from them, they've had access to water restricted, the Israelis have built the West Bank barrier in contravention of well just about everything, they've seen their civil liberties diminish. FFS what do you expect them to do, roll over and die, which is what it seems is exactly what Israel wants. As I've said before the Jews have had to put up with centuries of persecution and you'd think they, all of all peoples, would know better.

I'd also want Israel to treating me like a sub human, tear down the West Bank barrier, give me access to water, freedom to travel within the area, all the other things the Jews have been subjected for centuries and now subject the Palestinians to. How quickly they forget. Has history taught them nothing?

Well i'm more with Steveo than the rest of you...apparently the Palestinian PR is doing a great job. hamas has no intention to ever negotiate or come to a compromise with Israel it wants them - the Jews - out Full Stop. They happily fire rockets into Israel in the direct knowledge that it will end up with dead palestinian children, indeed they actually want that..... the simplistic, anti-Israeli party line fed by Hamas is readily taken up.......It's a mess with both sides culpable, but the simplistic anti-isareli position is, at best, simplistic and sometime smacks of something altogether more sinister.......

and sometime smacks of something altogether more sinister.......


Care to elaborate?


Were Russian partisans responsible for the reprisal hangings of civilians? No it was the hanging guys.

Were Vietnamese soldiers fighting us imperialism responsible for the million dead thanks to blanket bombing of Vietnam (and all the other fuzzy wuzzies)? Nope, the bombing guys.

That seems to be the main problem. Israel think that dead Palestinians make a useful political point and Hamas think that dead Palestinians make a useful political point.

That's not the main problem, the main problem is that things are so fucked up that bullshit like this can be framed this way.


Caring about life is like soo left wing, so naive. We coooool right wingers, sorry, free thinkers, just care about antithesising guardianista windmills in, you know, a tilting fashion.

Cool right wing free thinkers such as the, er, BBC?


And framing people who don't toe (!) the Party Line as not caring about life now that's proper unpleasant Framing

I'm not sure how you can consider my comment as not 'caring about life'. It's quite the opposite.

I don't regard myself as either completely left or right wing, as it happens. I'm a bit of both.

    • Our camera caught two folks doing this. One of them led me to believe the delivery driver was in on it as he left the package in a very odd place that the thief (who arrived about 10 minutes after from a direction where he could not have seen where the driver left it) went straight to it and took it - but he then dumped it halfway down the next road as clearly packets of freeze-dried food for a DofE award wasn't to his liking (karma sucks!). The second time a guy pulled his bike up in broad daylight, walked down to our door, opened the box, threw the empty box down and stuffed what he had found in his backpack and brazenly waved at the camera and then cycled off. Police asked us to upload his picture but we never heard anything back.

    • In the 1960s my husband went to a private day school, Although he was a bright child having won a couple of scholarships to other private schools, his father chose this particular one. He went from 11 - 14 years and left as unhappy with the set up which was based on ethnicity. All boys with both parents English were placed in the A stream regardless of academic ability, Boys with an Irish background were placed in B stream. All others were C streamed - this included boys with a Black or Asian  background, mixed race or mixed European background. His schooldays came to an end when he wished to learn Latin and he was told that no boy in C stream could participate in this subject. His father (not English) was very upset at this and withdrew him from the school and sent him  to a country boarding school.  The experiences he had with his schooling culminated in a breakdown of his mental health and several months in Maudsley. He had low self esteem and it took several decades for him to understand that it was the school system and not his ability which had failed him
