There seems to be some effort to separate Israel's war crimes from those of Muslim extremists, therefore making this an out-of-context attack on a single religion rather than a matter of the threat all religions carry.
I will reply to what is put up on the Israel thread and carry over what I believe to be relevant here – censorship be damned.
"Israel is an invisibly tiny sliver of land with no natural resources." (Keith – who else?)
Israel is a wealthy state with world wide political and financial support, including, up to now, that of the United States.
It is a nuclear power, so its terrorist behaviour is a world-wide threat not just a Middle Eastern one.
China is guilty of atrocities against its own people - it is a friend and business party of 'the democratic world' including, and especially Britain.
America had been guilty of War and crimes - everybody trades with America.
Britain traded with Syria, despite over a decade of human rights abuses
After the Arab Spring protests began Britain continued to trade with Syrian even to the extent of weapons and riot control equipment and later, chemicals that could be used in weapon manufacture.
Briatn was selling arms to Gadaffi and supplying arms to the rebels
Weeks after the outbreak of Arab Spring, David Cameron hosted a massive arms fair aimed at several extremist states, including Bahrain.
Business is business - your alibi for Israel is blown.
I will continue to post my views on the other site and will not be censored by either of you blue-pencil pratts
