    I’m not taking the piss when I say I don’t think there are many moderate jewish voices on this in this country any more even if there were a few weeks ago. If it wasn’t for the reaction that would inevitably follow here I genuinely don’t think many would shed a tear if we woke up tomorrow and found out the place had been blown off the map.

    I’m not saying it’s right to feel that way and it probably isn’t but that’s the honest sentiment I’m getting from people right now. October 7th itself and the reaction here from a loud minority has, for want of a better word, radicalised people in a way I’ve never known before. Not to the point of violence obviously as most of us couldn’t beat up a traffic cone and we just play with numbers for a living.

    I've not seen any Humanitarian rabbit holes, I only saw you banging on with your anti Israel rehetoric after the Israeli's were massacred on 7th Oct. As I've quoted and proven to you before. It's quite clear you are anti Israel. Yet I don't remember you crying over other world atrocities, it seems you only speak up when it's to do with your hatred of Israel.

    I think that's just a natural reaction to the events of 7th Oct. Look at the rampant Islamaphobia after 9/11. Muslims everywhere were copping the blame for that. And the Met police even shot a Brazilian bloke in the head 7 times on the Tube because he looked like a Muzzie and was carrying a backpack.

    It just ****s me off that the media feed into this zeal and don't give the moderate voices on both sides a chance to speak. like they want to create division. It's almost voyeuristic the 24/7 coverage of people blown to pieces and the nature of how people were killed. Coupled with talking heads saying how they are going to wipe the opposition off the face of the planet :(

    No chance Wales is going anywhere. There’s no appetite for it and our two countries are more closely linked than any other in the union.

    I mean they could have shot him in the arm and then asked him if he spoke Arabic first.

    Yeah in this country they were chanting ‘gas the Jews, one more time’. I had genuine empathy with the Palestinians when it all kicked off. The anti-semitism on here has pushed me in the direction of flat out supporting Israel in whatever course of action they take and however severe that is. No doubt about it.

    My guy was wearing a puffer jacket and jumping the barrier in summer. Silly thing to do. But still hope he’s ok.

    I know that but why did you post that to me saying the Palestine supporters are vile? Are they chanting for a holocaust of the Palestinians?

    As I've maintained - yes I am anti Israel state terrorism - I'm not anti Jewish or indeed anti-Israel - the 'Israel' defined by International law has my complete approval...

    The Israeli war machine has, in the last 24 hours, launched strikes on 4 UN schools in Gaza that were being used as civilian shelters - over 9,000 Palestinians have now been killed in Gaza since Octiber 7th , over 3,700 of those slaughtered were children ... if that's the Israeli policy you're quite obviously happy to support, then good luck to you ... I'm going to carry on condemning it as barbaric and abhorrent... so, with all due respect....suck it up.

    Ah right mate, I never knew that. I saw a clip where a couple of old geezers were chanting Jihad, but I just dismissed it for what it was a minority. Defo shoudn't be chanting that, I can't even bring myself to type it, so that gives my thoughts on that sort of behaviour. We seriously need to be looking at our laws if that is not being dealt with. I get cops can't always deal with it at the time, without it kicking off, so I am in support of arrests at a later date, I think I saw it reported somewhere facial recognition was being used, but I might have that wrong. No point in letting an event kick off when we can nick them latter.

    Once the dominoes start tumbling ... as I said, never expected to see the break up of the USSR ... or the re-unification of Germany ...

    Not saying it will happen on my lifetime - but there are now more native Welsh speakers than there have been for over half a century...

    Just read his wiki page. Horrendous incompetence by the police. The guy basically got shot because a copper was having a piss when he could have identified him ages before the shooting.

    But the family got £100k.
