    or you could check with your mate Starmer who has agreed with all airstrikes so far I believe. So if you plan on voting for Labour, you will be voting for much of the same I expect. <ok>

    I know mate, it's old news that, and Keir said he agreed with the bombing strikes as I told you. But while you are here...

    I was listening to some shill on LBC who had a couple of Israeli relatives (cousins iirc) of two hostages in Gaza. They were peddling abhorrent Israeli right wing rhetoric. Of course, it was carefully orchestrated propaganda arranged by Iain Dale the host. After all, who's going to phone in to call them out on the lies they were spouting? Not without looking heartless in the process.

    One person called in and said that people aren't born to hate. Hatred among Palestinians grows from injustice and suffering.

    The Israeli agreed nobody is born to hate, but that the only reason Palestinians grow up hating is that they're indoctrinated in schools to hate jews.

    I'm sure there's an element of truth to that, but it doesn't help when members of your family are getting shot, your homes and streets are being destroyed, and your existence is to live your whole life under illegal occupation in an open air prison.

    At the same time it was nice of him not to mention the same brainwashing goes on in Israeli schools like the one you posted, and the one I posted yesterday.

    One thing is true though, the ones who promote this in schools on both sides deserve a special place in hell. They're indoctrinating another generation to fight and kill each other. Scum.

    When I see articles like this, it does make me wonder if this could become the thorn in Labours election campaign.

    Especially when it comes to door knocking and speaking to people who would have marched for Palestine - for those that want change in world politics and the stopping of destruction, can it ever be achieved in the UK if we continually vote in the same old parties.

    Change has to begin at the ballot box surely?

    I suppose all Starmer can hope is there is a ceasehire by November 2024, but will the marchers forget? The story below...

    Labour Has No Hiding Place on Palestine.

    Quote: 'The Labour Party’s support for Israel’s massacre in Gaza shows that Keir Starmer has learnt nothing from Tony Blair’s morally and politically disastrous Iraq War'...

    I think part of the problem with Labour over this is that they made such a big issue when they hounded Jeremy Corbyn out of office over anti-semitism (despite the fact that it was internal factions that prevented Corbyn from dealing with it in the party), and they then instilled Starmer on the back of this 'clean sweep' that they would never have the balls to stand up to Israel for fear of being labelled anti-semitic again

    It's another case of putting party interests before moral obligation imo, but there you go. That's the state of politics across the board these days unfortunately .

    Burning tar being poured over your head.

    Being put to death on the rack, or tied to a post and set fire.

    Middle Ages seemed to come up with some pretty awful ways to kill oeople

    Or the Palestinians are just ****s who will never be happy until Jews don’t exist for a thousand miles and he’s right not to kowtow to the masses of bellends adopting them as a hobby.

    And if you survived all that, you probably died even more horribly from bubonic plague. The 21st Century isn’t too bad on reflection

    burning tar or oil never happened, it's pure hollywood, oil was extremely expensive, far too valuable to use in a one shot weapon. The closest you could come was the Byzantines with their greek fire.

    I don't think any era was a good time to be caught by enemy forces tbh.

    No

    Switch that around to 'or the Jews are just ****s who will never be happy until Palestinians don't exist for a thousand miles' and does that become Anti-Semitic ?

    Boiling water was frequently used though as was fire, some castles had "murder holes" where the walls would channel people into a confined spot where arrows would rain down on them and fire OR boiling water would be dropped on them.
