They believe in a one state solution which means the death of Israel and effectively the expulsion of the Jews from their homeland or worse - a second mass murder. <br /><br />There are many times in history when we see fashion combined with virtue signalling and brute force become virtually unstoppable. <br /><br />We saw it with extreme Protestantism in England, which ended up with the butchery of Civil War, the abolition of Parliament, and Christmas and Hot Cross Buns being banned. We saw it with Maoism in the sixties which ended in millions of deaths and huge suffering. <br /><br />Most people who support the Palestinian "cause" (as filtered by our media, by people like Bowen and (Irish Labour Party candidate) Guerin) wouldn't last 24 hours under Sharia law - they would be outraged at the restrictions and immediately see the error of their ways. <br /><br />But there is no way to make people experience that. <br /><br />Actually that makes me think: maybe VR will in the future offer opportunities to get across what these political philosophies actually entail. <br /><br />Monkey Brainsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-24680952437353554332018-02-24T17:09:10.517+00:002018-02-24T17:09:10.517+00:00I believe there is a hard core of anti-zionists in...I believe there is a hard core of anti-zionists including BBC and Guardian journalists and members of the Labour party, in fact the British left in general who are fully aware of the true nature of the Palestinians and the deception that is being perpetrated. I would go as far as to say they actively support dismantling the State of Israel. Whether they have the imagination to realise that in practice that would be a second holocaust I can only speculate. Taking into account the nuclear element the possibilities become even more horrific.<br /><br />As for the rest it becomes almost a kind of virtue signalling, where it is important to be seen to “be on the right side” - the side they perceive to be oppressed. Not only do they not know the facts of the situation, they don’t want to know. Unfortunately, after decades of propaganda, from notably the BBC this describes a very large proportion of the population. In fact the groupthink prevalent in the BBC and other news outlets means that they too have become victims of their own propaganda. I remember the outrage quite recently when an Israeli politician stated that the Palestinians didn’t want peace. This was nothing short of heresy - something that couldn’t even be breathed.<br /><br />Apart from blogs like this one I don’t know how the message can be got across. I do know that the present trajectory of this conflict could be disastrous.Terrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-84542733500302328492018-02-24T12:54:57.715+00:002018-02-24T12:54:57.715+00:00I think it is always useful to stop and think wher...I think it is always useful to stop and think where it is that you are trying to go in the longer term, putting aside the distractions of the moment.<br /><br />Where exactly do our politicians and their media directors see as the destination? Isn't it obvious that the more Muslims in a country the more Islamic it will become? Is that desirable and why?<br /><br />There appears to be a naive belief that anyone from anywhere that lands on these shores or contintent becomes British or European. Legally perhaps but culturally certainly not. With easy air travel, telephony and the internet the immigrant no longer has the same need to integrate in their new land as they can retain strong links to 'back home'.<br />Add to that the fact that Islam considers itself the one true faith and the obligation to eliminate all others the direction of travel and the destination <i>should</i> be obvious. So why are we going there? "Enough is enough".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
