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.

    • Oh dear! The general response is that my experience of Jon Hartley is the norm. That’s bad. As an update to my issue with him, Ellie Reeves’ office advised that I contact the Southwark Labour Party Chief Whip in the first instance with my complaint. Coincidentally, the Chief Whip turns out to be Cllr Maggie Browning. She acknowledged my complaint and, in response, said that she had ‘spoken’ to Jon Hartley and appeared satisfied that he’d now responded to me. Not sure that’ s an adequate response, since it seems to been well-known that he consistently ignores constituents. Maggie will know that better than anyone as she’s paired with Jon in our Ward, and she’s having to pick up the stuff which he’s ignoring. As people have noted, Maggie does indeed respond to constituents but she’s now on maternity leave. Alas, I think that means we’re lumbered with just Jon. I’ve bypassed him in respect of my own issue, because I think he’s a waste of my time. In case anyone else should be having problems with him, especially now that Maggie Browning is away, I’d recommend emailing Ellie Reeves MP. Her office is very responsive in my experience and, if she hears from enough disgruntled constituents of Cllr Hartley, I imagine she be quietly speaking to the Southwark Constituency Labour Party about him. Ultimately, if he stands again, he won’t be getting my vote. Be annoyed people, be very annoyed ! Your vote should count for something and the candidates privileged enough to get it should do the job they were elected for!
