Western liberal values are what I believe in. Presumably if we stand with Europe against Russia that will be what we are defending. If you continually tell people how terrible these values are dont be at all surprised when they refuse to join you to fight for them.
I agree with you Galaxy.. We should defend Democracy and Free Speech.. I'm so grateful to live in the UK
Sickening, I didn’t read the ‘Israeli Jew’ story , came on now and saw the last paragraph, a Jew calls the alleged dead mother of her two murdered babies. the miserable Shiri Bibas ,
Perhaps they knew they were returning the wrong body, they released a hostage, knew the wife and two daughters were dead. They burned them alive in their own home, they let him speak on a stage saying how he was so looking forward to seeing them ,
Who knows if it was a mistake by hamas or deliberate but the result is the same, shockingly for the family who hoped for a loving burial service for mother and toddler and baby.It would have given them some sort of comfort.
Read this, Annie, or anyone else who thinks that Israel has the right to kill as punishment many times as many Palestinians as were directly involved in the savage attack in October.
Thank you Elegran. I cannot think of one religious law which has caused more calls for definition, in Christian faith ‘Thou Shall Not Kill’ , exceptions capital punishment, assisted dying., self defence. Reading you link same applies to other faiths, so Israel and Palestine at war as oppose to seeking revenge ?
If they were at war with another country, they should be adhering to the standards of international warfare. They are not doing so.
If they are destroying land and killing people who are not in a separate country, but part of their own, they are doing it to punish the whole area and the community living in it for the crimes of a part. I think that would be classed as "cruel and unnatural punishment"
