Steve Shaw BS: BDS of Israel 'Gathering Weight.' (1002* d) RE: BS: BDS of Israel 'Gathering Weight.' 08 Aug 14


Arguable my arse, Islamophobe. You fire a gun and your bullet kills a person, you killed that person. No-one else killed that person. If you find something "arguable" about that, you are insane, and, frankly, not worth talking to. You had a choice as to whether you fired that gun. Hamas rockets have killed about one Israeli, on average, per annum since the turn of the millennium. That is a very bad thing and I wish it hadn't happened. But you cannot argue that killing 1800 civilians in a month was an act of self-defence against that. Had the Israelis been up against a massive onslaught that threatened their very existence, well yes, the retaliation would have been proportionate. But you know as well as I do that that was not the case. Gaza, to the Israelis, contains a wasps' nest that might occasionally make them feel uneasy and might occasionally result in an Israeli or two getting stung. But Israelis still enjoy their affluent lifestyles (often on stolen land, of course), and get to the beach and drink their cocktails of a summer's evening on their porches (good luck to 'em - I like doing all that as well). But they don't just extirpate the wasps' nest. They ravage the whole area, paying little heed to the value of the lives of ordinary Gazans. But, when we give them a little bollocking, they call us antisemitic. Get a grip, Michael. You're losing it, big time, old chap. Very old chap.
