Thread Name: BS: (UK) Whither the Labour Party
Subject: RE: BS: (UK) Whither the Labour Party
Steve,
"No-one is, and no decent democratic country even accuses israel of 'war crime and ats of terror.'"
Define decent.


Shorthand for liberal democracies such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Scandinavian and other EU states,.....
None accuse Israel of war crimes or acts of terror.

Why do you put war crimes and acts of terror in quotes?

Because they are unsubstantiated accusations made only by enemies of Israel.

It's perfectly possible to support Hamas in their resistance to Israeli aggression against Gaza

What Israeli aggression against Gaza. The aggression has always come from Hamas and Israel has just responded to it.

Steve, this is not a thread to rehash all those old arguments.
I acknowledge that it is legitimate to criticise Israel and any other state.

I was hoping to discuss the current problems of Labour including the number of members who appear to be antisemites.
