Gaza, I despair.

Hardly surprising Aveline ? You are excusing antisemitism

How about Antipalestinism?

Neither is excusable.

Matters may be explained but that is not the same as being excused.

It has been said umpteen times that any anti semitic posts on GN are reported.

Thanks for the charity link Wyllow

Thanks for the link. I'm happy to contribute to this.

'Independent and impartial medical care'
Surely everyone is entitled to that?

Report on BBC News just now, about settlers violence.
Mary Robinson speaking now.
She says it is 'Government policy' now.

Violence towards the settlers

She is saying that the violence against the Palestinians is supported by the government, and that the settlements are illegal.

Cossy

It’s genocide, it’s horrific, it’s terribly sad.

Horrifically horrendous genocide ..

Killing babies and children and women & men without arms ! And they say they believe in God !

Satan is more realistic.

Belgium just intercepted two UK military shipments bound for Israel right at Liège Airport! 🚫✈️ Under strict new transit laws,
no arms-carrying planes allowed in Belgian airspace—zero exceptions. Even without a permit request,
authorities made it clear: access denied. Tensions are peaking! 🌍⚡

​so no change Burnham same as starmer

A peice from The Tribune.
Palestinians to Burnham:
Do no harm.

UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham, in his tongue-in-cheek apology for Labour’s position on Palestine, stated that his party under Keir Starmer ‘didn’t get it right’ and needs to ‘do better.’ This must be the mother of all British understatements.

Britain under Labour, just as under the Conservatives, has been complicit in arming, justifying, and whitewashing apartheid Israel’s genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza, its intensified ethnic cleansing of the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and its ongoing Nakba against the entire Palestinian people. This is on top of the UK’s unique responsibility for the establishment of Israel in 1948 as a settler-colony through the planned destruction of the Palestinian homeland and the ethnic cleansing of most of the Indigenous Palestinians.

A UN Commission of Inquiry has recently confirmed that Israel is committing an ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people. This is in harmony with the near consensus of human rights organizations, United Nations human rights experts, and the International Association of Genocide Scholars.

Describing Israel’s genocide, Orly Noy, the chair of Israel’s leading human rights organization B’Tselem, recently wrote, ‘Israel is unleashing a holocaust in Gaza, and it cannot be dismissed as the will of the country’s current fascist leaders alone.. . . . What we are witnessing is the final stage in the nazification of Israeli society.’ The UK could and should ‘do better’ than being complicit in all that.

No. It's just human nature. I'm surprised you don't see that.

Rosie you are misquoting Aveline. She does not say antisemitism is acceptable but that it is hardly surprising. I think she is quoting from research reported in this mornings bbc news that of the 8 or 9 countries with the most Jews in their population, who have self reported increased antisemitism.

This has been always been about the Israeli government actions not the population. Though many in Israel are in total agreement with this which I and many millions of others throughout the world, find abhorrent.

To those honourable Jews who stand up against the rest I applaud their bravery and their decency. They can hold their heads high when their children and grandchildren ask about this genocide in future.

Aveline has said nothing of the sort Rosie.

Just come back to find I've been told off three times, does that count as a 'pile on' ?
I note Aveline's original post has been deleted by GN headquarters, I wonder why?

From what I can see on this Thread, there appeared to be a 'pile on' against Aveline.

Interesting about those ships, Samwan.
This must be a new policy.

Not told off, just politely responding to your point.

Didn't know that Belgium had such a policy.

I didn't realise my original post had been deleted. GN has not contacted me. So we're not allowed to even comment on a widely shared news item? I resent this censorship.
Obviously antisemitism is not good but neither is condoning violence against Palestinians by illegal Israeli 'settlers'.

I agree .

That's odd. I thought you had to be told about deletions.
With you, about both antisemitism and settler violence.
