There has been an upsurge in anti-Semitism on the streets of London since the start of the latest conflict between Israel and Hamas. It has been suggested Jews should not walk to the synagogue alone. Where are all the BLM supporters, knee-takers and anti-racists now! They are rubbing shoulders with lunatics screaming "kill the Jews": that's where they are. These bastards are not even pretending to differentiate between Jewish people and the country of Israel any more.

Well I decided to read through all the posts up until this point to see whether the usual shills for the slaughterers of the IDF would be once again out in force. It seems based on the number of posters (rather than the number of posts since our resident gnat managed three in quick succession including managing to put this proposition “No Arabs - no problems.” then follow it with “These bastards are not even pretending to differentiate between Jewish people and the country of Israel any more.” without blinking) the balance may be returning.

This country was always known for its support of the underdog. This went missing over recent years and Australia's voting with the US and Israel on matters concerning the Palestinians when the rest of the world called it out . I know it will take a change of government for that self respect to return but the signs are heartening.

Meanwhile another revealing aspect of the systematic plot/strategy which actually amplifies Palestinian (completely justified) animosity to the Zionist project is described in an essay on the always excellent Intercept site titled Tax Exempt US Noprofits Fuel Israeli Settler Push To evict Palestinians.

Gee hasbeen, you're getting sillier! You don't even have to load the gun to get a conflict happening over there, just have your police service arrive at this or that border crossing and start turning back folk going about their legitimate business.

Netanyahu arranged this by using his police force as described. Just to stay on as P.M.

Nowhere have I suggested he fired the rockets, by has responded with brutal force. to escalate the crisis and bloodletting as much as possible.

To think before Netanyahu there was a negotiated ad agreed peace deal and viable two-state solution on the table! Now look at it and the subsequent death toll caused by the hard right, who are the only ones served by the scrapping of that hard-won agreement and Mr Nethanyahu's intransigence and B.S., political posturing.

You have to b really stupid to read in that I for a second, suggested Nethanyahu was firing rockets at himself. But he is served politically and at his upcoming trial for official corruption by this turn of events and distraction?

Suggest in future you engage brain before putting mouth into gear with a racing change.

Better the world suspects you are a fool, than open your mouth to remove all doubt.

Oh god Alan. You blame Netanyahu, & I want to know how he is responsible for firing 3000 rockets indescribably into civilian populations

I find it hard to believe you lefties can approve of & side with simple terror tactics used against civilians.

What justification can there be for the murder of innocent children? Netanyahu orchestrated these murderous atrocities for his own political purposes. The man is a war criminal in the same category of a Hitler or a Himmler and should face justice before an international war crimes tribunal.
