Why recognizing a ”Palestinian State” is not a good idea;

”There are whispers in the corridors of power that Belgium, like Norway and Spain, is preparing to recognize a “Palestinian State”. This move seems questionable, on both legal and political grounds.
The first conditions for recognizing a state are territory and state authority. International law defines a sovereign state as an established territorial unit, within which its laws apply to a permanent population, and which is constituted by institutions through which it exercises authority and effective power.

In the case of a “Palestinian State”, there is no territory on which even the Palestinians agree. Indeed, the charter of Hamas — designated as a terrorist organization by many countries in the West, and which has reigned unchallenged in the Gaza Strip since 2007 when it forcibly expelled the Palestinian Authority, in part by throwing its members off 15-storey buildings — calls for the “liberation” of “every inch of Palestine” through jihad.

The Palestinian Authority also lays claim over all of the territory, including all of Israel. The territory of the “Palestinian State” is therefore not contested at the margins; it is contested in substance. At present, no one, and certainly not the Palestinians themselves, can say what the boundaries of the territory they are claiming are, even approximately, apart from the openly desired entire territory of Israel.
Moreover, according to many commentators, there already is a Palestinian State: it is called Jordan.”

Just another example of a female misogynist here who explains how rape of captives is sanctioned in Islam. The irony seems to pass her by that there is actually no such thing as ‘rape’ within an Islamic marriage, in the same way as there appears to be no such thing as paedophilia, though if they’re living in Western countries they’d have to adhere to the laws of that land. A woman cannot say ”no” to her husband, and we all know how they feel about child marriages. But whether this is generally or just under Sharia law, I’m not certain ( <2mins );

“Allah allows Muslim men to rape non-Muslim women in order to humiliate them. If we fought Israel we can take their (Jewish) women as sex sIaves and rape them. It is allowed in the Quran and the hadiths” —Islamic scholar

Your open Islamophobia is quite vile.
To speak in a similar loose, generalised and ignorant ashion about Jews would have you arrested in some quarters.
Fortunately, we support free speech, no matter how disgusting it is.

Wasn’t “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion” written by a “Judaic Scholar”?

The history of the Protocols is rather complex, possibly arising first during the French Revolution via the writings of a radical Jesuit priest, morphing through several plagiarised and embellished iterations to the publication in 1905 by Nilus in Russia, which seems to be the basis of current understanding of the document. It has been debunked many times yet still seems to hold some sort of currency – bit like ‘safe and effective’ jabs does. Short potted history link below; it’s intriguing to note an underlying Masonic thread running through (although note source origin). Wheels within wheels within wheels of political intrigue and propaganda over the centuries, perhaps.

My “Judaic Scholar” was in quotes intentionally. The claims within the text itself is that it was written by a Jew.

Much like the baloney that Mogwit posts from people justifying their hatred for anyone Islamic to shield zionists from bombing the crap out of innocent people (who aren’t innocent cause Islam is evil).

“Wasn’t ‘The Protocols of the Elders of Zion’ written by a ‘Judaic Scholar’?”

No. It was a crude pastiche of a French political satire whose author has never been discovered. So let’s not allow that one to get into the collective psyche.

But more to the point, woke buzz-words like “Islamophobia” are what critical thinkers should avoid. A critique of a religion (of which Christianity has suffered many from progressives and Muslims alike) is either valid or invalid, and should be discussed on those terms.

So I’d rather see the Qu’ran or hadith quoted on either side of the question than vague references to unnamed experts.

The term “anti-semitic” certainly has its own baggage when used of opposition to Israeli politics rather than opposition to the race. But it would certainly apply to remarks like “Henry Kissinger was a Jew,” which smack of the Protocols rather than reason. Karl Marx, too, was a Jew. So was Jesus Christ. And Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao and the Marquis de Sade were not. Since Henry Kissinger was not in the Israeli State, animus against his genetic origins rather than Israel is clear for all to see.

On the particular issue above, I would be interested to hear from our own experts on Islam whether the industrial scale female sex-slavery in the Ottoman Empire was considered at the time to be permitted under Islam, or whether the Islamic scholars of the time opposed it as people like Wilberforce did the labour-slavery happening in the West. The Ottoman Empire was, after all, the cultural precursor of most Muslim nations today.

“Since Henry Kissinger was not in the Israeli State,”

This statement is not clear, would you mind expanding.
Are you saying there was zero influence?

Kissinger was an ardent Zionist.

Ooh what a surprise. A certain antisemitic, terrorist supporter appears to have gotten my post removed. Another unpleasant hater to go on ‘the list’ of toxic posters to ignore in future, therefore a repost. Not too many truths to upset the rape apologists here I hope;

”Such men routinely cite the same hadiths and verses from the Koran. Verses 4:3 and 4:24, for instance, permit Muslim men to have sexual relations with as many women as “their right hand possesses” — meaning as many women — all non-Muslim, of course — as they are able to take captive during a jihad:

Koran 4:3: “And if you fear that you cannot act equitably towards orphans, then marry such women as seem good to you, two and three and four; but if you fear that you will not do justice (between them), then (marry) only one or what your right hands possess; this is more proper, that you may not deviate from the right course.” [Shakir translation]

Koran 4:24: “And all married women except those whom your right hands possess (this is) Allah’s ordinance to you, and lawful for you are (all women) besides those, provided that you seek (them) with your property, taking (them) in marriage not committing fornication. Then as to those whom you profit by, give them their dowries as appointed; and there is no blame on you about what you mutually agree after what is appointed; surely Allah is Knowing, Wise.” [Shakir translation]

Neither of those quotes implies what your “scholar” claims at all. Thanks for proving my point.

Your “explanation” is the worst example of human behaviour I have seen or read in a very long time. What else is contained in the Koran that exists but only in the minds of the brainwashed???

At least everyone who reads this blog now knows you are an unreconstructed misogynist, anti semitic hater of Jews, apologist for Islamists and a denier of the sanctity of women. Suggest you follow the exhortation of Elon Musk and Stella McCartney’s son — with the utmost vigour.

They just say whatever the hell they want now. They should consider not doing COP propaganda conferences during winter…bad optics.

“On the same day as Biden Administration ‘climate czar’ John Kerry warned of out of control global warming at the UN climate conference in Dubai, the entirety of Europe is experiencing an unprecedented deep freeze. 

Kerry called on the world to “judge with our own eyes what science is telling us” and warned that the arctic, the antarctic and the permafrost are in danger of melting.”

“The Hallett Inquiry: The kingdom of terror” – On Substack, Dr. Tom Jefferson and Prof. Carl Heneghan document how fear appears to have been a driving force behind pandemic policies.

Dame Jenny Harries offers this nugget as part of her ‘lessons learned’ from the Covid fiasco:

Looking forward at future pandemics, she said there should be “much better” planning for “frail individuals in residential settings” each time there’s an infectious disease incident.

I think she actually means protecting the vulnerable – like it says in the Great Barrington Declaration.

…while better protecting those who are at highest risk. We call this Focused Protection.

“Britain is not full of boring white people with no real culture to speak of, writes Niall Gooch in the Spectator.”

So bloody what if white people are “boring”? I find myself and other white people extremely interesting personally, but for those who don’t that’s really their problem.

Another instance of white people like Mr Gooch for some reason feeling he needs to defend and justify the idea that this country is and should be full of white people.

Dr Lee Merritt presented yesterday evening to MD4CE. She presented some interesting & evidenced information on causes of disease outbreaks around the globe way before aeroplane travel & underlying causes of some diseases with treatment suggestions given on her website.
We had many a debate about seasonality of disease, this is covered along with the effect of sun activity & how we are electrical beings.
Well worth a watch.
