He says these things from time to time to try and keep up the pretence that he’s ‘neutral’

In reality he would never do anything against Israel.

You never know with Trump. If there’s one thing that’s consistent about him, it’s that he’s inconsistent.

He can be best buds with somebody one minute and then if he thinks they’ve slurred him or done something they didn’t agree to, they are suddenly his enemy.

Look at the way he fell out with Musk

I know there’s more at play with Israel, who enjoy huge backing and funding from the US, but Trump is a law unto himself.

To be honest, I could easily apply the same rationale that you do with me, I.e the inference that by not criticising Iran (although I frequently do) and that I therefore defend everything that they do, I by default pin all of the blame on Israel.

It would be very easy to make a case that you pin all of the blame on Iran and absolve Israel of any blame in any of this. Or that Israel don’t deserve any criticism for their atrocities in Gaza or the 70 year long subjugation and displacement of Palestinians in their own land.

Are you saying that isn’t the case ?

I am indeed. Let's play the following game and settle this once and for all. I will state 5 things that I genuinely hate about Israel and its politics. I'd like you to reply with 5 things you genuinely love about Israel and its politics. And I don't mean bullshit items like 'excellent shawarma' or 'nice beaches'. I mean proper stuff.

I'll kick it off:

1) Benjamin Netanyahu.
2) The fact that Israel's electoral system makes it far too easy for extreme fringe parties to become kingmaker.
3) Settlement expansion and with it - the radicalisation of settlers.
4) Systemic failure to try an approach with Gaza since the disengagement that wouldn't make endless conflict inevitable.
5) Needlessly making life as difficult as possible even for law-abiding Palestinians in the West Bank with check points, curfews, restrictions on movement, administrative detentions etc.

I'd love to change all of the above.

Your turn.

... or that his Barnet always appears blurred on TV footage ... think that's the CIA attempting to mask the fact that it's part Syrup and part comb (up and) over from his arse hair ...

It would be far more interesting to see you list 5 things you genuinely love about Iran and its politics <laugh>

but anyway, even though this game needs a catchy name. I’ll give it a go.

1. Decent music
2. Nice bread
3. Democracy
4. Good tech
5. Soda stream
 
I don't know what Trump just said on tv to a reporter, but whatever it was it got bleeped out.....something about do you understand that.

I know what you're trying to get at mate, you're just talking complete bollocks.

Ethnicity and religion are two separate things and one doesn't equal the other. Going by your logic are you saying white is another word for Christian? Christians in places like Kenya and India are white are they?

You absolute watermelon.
