So Anniebach, do we take your above post as meaning there was no Yvette Cooper apology to the Jewish community, or is it that you do not wish to give us your thoughts on the readmittance to the Tory Party of 15 councillors expelled for Islamophobia.

In the second of the above many may well feel you are practising selective racism condemnations.

Well everyone in the west who has not protested, supported or spoken out about the abuse of Palestinian rights lemongrove. Whatever blame may be ascribed to anyone else, the suffering of children and the inability to enforce UN rulings is unacceptable. (If you believe in human rights of course)

I must apologise to you annie I let my irritation at constantly reading the same stuff that you post about Corbyn get the better if me.

I shall go back to not reading it again, and avoid personal remarks.

Anniebach Sun 30-Jun-19 14:44:44

Your choice Whitewave and no, I did not draw you into your personal remark to me.

Whitewavemark2 Sun 30-Jun-19 14:42:45

No annie in my previous life I left because I was being drawn into personal remarks. Bit like today ?.

Anniebach Sun 30-Jun-19 14:42:44

trisher it was either SKY or BBC News. Suppose you can continue to google or continue to wait, I suggest the former

trisher Sun 30-Jun-19 14:40:49

Keep asking Grandad1943 but don't hold your breath grin

lemongrove Sun 30-Jun-19 14:40:36

By all trisher do you mean every man woman and child in the UK, maybe the US, Europe, the EU, NATO, the UN??
The Israeli/Palestinian problems are many and complicated.

Anniebach Sun 30-Jun-19 14:40:23

Whitewave lemon is right, in your previous life you could discuss without personal attacks. Pity .

Yes lemongrove, I have apologised for my mistake, and it is that apology to the Jewish community that i am requesting a link to.

Whitewavemark2 Sun 30-Jun-19 14:38:53

Blimey indeed. Learn to butt out!

Anniebach Sun 30-Jun-19 14:38:17

grandad1943 you do keep trying , you will not succeed .

Thank you for your apology .

trisher Sun 30-Jun-19 14:35:24

As I said "lemongrove" we should all apologise to the Palestinians for the absolute abuse of human rights they have experienced.
But I am still waiting for the Yvette Cooper statement.

lemongrove Sun 30-Jun-19 14:35:11

Blimey!?

lemongrove Sun 30-Jun-19 14:34:29

X posts Grandad43 smile

Whitewavemark2 Sun 30-Jun-19 14:34:23

I come across people like yourself and forget myself. Surprised you take such interest in my posts. I find yours truly forgettable,

Grandad1943 Sun 30-Jun-19 14:32:33

Anniebach as you state that you always speak out against racism, could you then give us your thoughts on the 15 members of the Tory party that were expelled for Islamophobia, but then within weeks allowed back into the party?

WWM2 .....am sure you remember what you said when you returned to GN after an absence, it was along the lines of ‘you didn’t like the sort of person the political pages were turning you into’.
What happened to that?

lemongrove Sun 30-Jun-19 14:28:08

Grandad43 there is no apology to the Palestinians, you are getting mixed up.
Cooper apologised to Jewish communities ( in Anniebach’s posts) for Labour antisemitism.

Whitewavemark2 Sun 30-Jun-19 14:25:01

Ah! The thread policewoman who is not above personal remarks when it suits.

Grandad1943 Sun 30-Jun-19 14:23:36

Apologies Aniebach that should read "Jewish Community" in the second paragraph of my above post, not "Palestinians"

lemongrove Sun 30-Jun-19 14:22:53

WWM2 cut out those personal remarks to Anniebach they do you no credit at all.

Why on earth btw should Yvette Cooper apologise to Palestinians?That’s simply ridiculous.

Anniebach, could you provide a link to the Yvette Cooper apology to the Palestinian people which if possible also contains the date of that apology.

I am just asking, as I cannot find that on any Google search.

With thanks.

trisher Sun 30-Jun-19 14:17:14

Annie I asked you post eviidence of this apology and you failed to do so. I have Googled it several times and the only post about racism and Yvete Coper that comes up is her tweet about the racism which has been directed at Diane Abbot. As you continue to say this please can you say where and when.
Your ^speaking out against racism^seems to be soemwhat selective.
