Whilst I believe the animals that killed civilians and paraded dead women through the streets should be hung up, it looks to me like there’s more to this than meets the eye. And, again, the US seems to have it’s fingers in a whole load of sticky gloop – https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/state-department-internal-emails-gaza-israel_n_65296395e4b0a304ff6ff95d
The US foreign policy has a history of decption and manipulation in the middle east- see the video called Hypernormalisation. A BBC documentary with loads of stuff in it, not just the middle east. On iplayer, but elsewhere as well. So much for conspiracy theories being nonsense- many of them have been real, and that comes from the BBC!
While absolutely rightly vilifying Hamas for the senseless killings…and I’m not making the slightest excuse for them..because there aren’t any….
..its still an unpalatable fact that you have to look at the sheer hypocrisy of the US (and others) who paid and backed other ‘terrorist’ organisations like ISIS, and the Mujahedeen, who’s members went on to become Al Qaeda and the Taliban.
I have put the comment from Netanyahu before where he extols funding HAMAS as part of the ‘solution’….
In 2018 the USA banned all weapons to The Azov Battalion in Ukraine…
”White supremacy and neo-Nazism are unacceptable and have no place in our world,” Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), an outspoken critic of providing lethal aid to Ukraine, said in a statement to The Hill on Tuesday. “I am very pleased that the recently passed omnibus prevents the U.S. from providing arms and training assistance to the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion fighting in Ukraine.”
So they’re terrorists when they say they are, but not when they say they aren’t…..and it is this meddling, in part, that is really the problem here….
I don’t know why you had so mane downvotes there, what you state is quite reasonable IMO.
Exactly. It’s surprised me that so many on here, all of a sudden, are not questioning. I think the animals that attacked civilians and commited the most barbaric acts should be strung up, but that should not cloud our questioning as to whether there’s something else going on. Maybe there is, maybe there isn’t, but we should have the capacity to frame the events around the globalist picture.
Including the toppling of Sadam’s statue, it was mostly staged.
There is the old 1990s BBC Documentary about Operation Gladio.
Remind me again, how many people openly came out in support of ISIS? But it’s seemingly en vogue, therefore permitted, to hate on the Jews, right?
”Decolonization is all the progressive rage these days except when it comes to the places where they — and you and I — live.
According to the most up-to-date progressive thinking, it isn’t antisemitism to chant “Death to Israel.” All that chant really means is that the time has come for European colonizers (who just happen to be Jewish, you see) to leave Palestine. Peacefully, of course, except when terrorists force Jews to depart in body bags. Which is totally their fault.
But what is there to say when the chant evolves — as it must — from “Death to Israel” to “Gas the Jews, f*** the Jews?” Well, sane people would say that calling for the destruction of an entire people is wrong. Progressives, whether elites safe in their ivory towers or purple-haired Antifa sympathizers in the streets, either make excuses or endorsements depending on their individual level of brazenness.
What is there for the progressive left to say when we remind them that Israel (literally) decolonized the Gaza Strip in 2005, and all they got in return was nearly two decades of rocket attacks and last weekend’s spree of murder, rape, and kidnapping of civilians?
Decolonization of the Middle East happened decades ago, except for antisemites with murder in their hearts who believe that Israel — the Jewish homeland for five millennia — is a colonial “crusader” state.
Where decolonization needs to happen is here in the West. An alliance between Marxist/progressives and would-be jihadis has created a cultural suicide wing among the elites who were once tasked with defending our civilization.”

I think what’s caused the division (the latest one) is the conflation of Hamas and Palestine. I can’t speak for others, but in my mind the question of whether Palestine should exist as a sovereign state is a different one to support for Hamas, but they’ve both been thrown in together. I also have zero trust in Western governments, so that throws another spanner in the works!
Let tthem chant what they want.
Free speech should be absolute. There is a difference between saying something and doing it. Prosecute the action if it comes to pass.
I say this not because I agree with what they say. I think what they say is abhorrent. But shutting them up is worse. And more importantly I want to be able to say what I thunk without anyone shutting me up.
This is the moment where the concept of free speech is challenged and it needs to pass the challenge.
100% Stewart….
…that’s how they ‘ban’ everything…take an incident, whip up emotions, knee jerk reactions in the heat of the moment, then ban whatever it is and voila…censorship by the back door….
Odd that the DS site, along with the rest of us, who have ridiculed the BBC for three years over their blatant impartiality seems to have taken offence just because they have done the exactly same thing that they’ve been doing forever?
If these allegations are true..people no doubt will be censured and/or sacked and I’m not sure beyond that what the problem is..other than feeling like DS has decided it will do the MSM’s job for them and tell me which bit is ‘wrong think’…
You’d have thought Charlie Hebdo would’ve done that. But yes, hate speech is free speech, saying otherwise is a logical fallacy.
I have started a discussion of the DS Forum about free speech here:
Should there any limits to free speech and if so what should they be? Is censorship ever justified?
You will only be able to see if after it has passed moderation so it is invisible to you at the moment as I have only just created it.
Where are we being herded with the outrage? Into division and separateness. The globalist plan is to do away with nationhood and ideas of sovereignty. They can only achieve that by pitting nation against nation, ideology against ideology, religion against religion etc. At some point, these things will descend into chaos. Then we will watch as a clamour comes – from various individuals, guru-types and the media of course – for an end to all this division and towards a lasting peace by a supreme global government where everyone’s interests are looked after, where there is guaranteed peace and security, universal basic income, social credit and to be included in this brave new world you will of course be expected to eat ‘their food’ and take ‘their prophylactic medicines’ and if you don’t, life will be very difficult if not unliveable. This is the direction of travel. They won’t do it immediately but over decades. However seems they are currently accelerating their plans and showing themselves and that is where they will hopefully trip themselves up.
Conspiracy theory stuff……….until its not (and its to late)
I’d take one word out of your reply…’theory’ …and then it’s perfect! But I knew you knew that!
As I have posted previously – we on here have consistently been smeared with the term “conspiracy theorists.” In actual fact we are conspiracy realists.
Toby Young wants to debate Dellingpole on conspiracy theories, maybe he should debate Dr David Robberts on Covid & climate.
You are correct Aethelred absent one issue – Depopulation. This is possibly the most important part of the planning by the Davos Deviants. It appears to me that War is to be used to kick start the big losses. The expectations of the DD’s was that the jibby jabs would clear large numbers and obviously they will have another go when the ‘revised’ International Health Regulations are enforced but I believe this part of their planning is now dud although excess mortality figures will continue to rise as the injections and boosters do their work over the coming decade.
And let’s not forget that the attacks on farming have not yet got in to top gear but this is coming – see the link to Farming Today that I posted.
Yes, I knew that, HP, can’t keep up with my own need to write something though but thanks anyway.
They seem to be tripping up over the green agenda, delaying the driving off a cliff for 5 years, but that also prolongs the shi@ sh@w.
Hamas are just one element of the Axis of Resistance against the occupying army of Israel.
Palestinians in vast numbers support their liberation from the brutal apartheid Israel.
Resistance fighters have always committed atrocities against their brutal occupiers.
Zionists own governments and the media and it’s refreshing that some “journalists” at the BBC are for once reporting the truth.
How exactly is Israel an ”apartheid” state? Stop misapplying a term which is factually incorrect just to bolster your argument.
”The only thing that’s lacking from the left’s scenario is any actual apartheid. The term “apartheid” comes from South Africa, where it referred to a system of institutionalized racial segregation and discrimination that was in place from 1948 to 1991. The word itself means “separateness,” and South Africa instituted numerous laws to keep the races apart in schools, workplaces, and areas where the public gathered, such as beaches.
There is absolutely nothing like this in Israel. As my Jihad Watch colleague Hugh Fitzgerald has explained: “In Israel, Arabs sit on the Supreme Court, serve in the Knesset, go abroad as ambassadors. The chairman of Israel’s largest bank, Bank Leumi, is an Arab. Jews and Arabs work in the same factories and offices, play on the same sports teams and in the same orchestras, act in the same films, are treated in the same hospitals by both Jewish and Arab medical personnel, attend the same classes in the same universities. Jews and Arabs own restaurants and start high-tech businesses together. The only difference in their treatment is that Jews must, while Arabs may, serve in the military.”
There are no legal restrictions upon Arabs in Israel.
The media watchdog HonestReporting points out that “the legal, state-sanctioned discrimination that is the definition of apartheid is not only absent from Israel, it is furiously combatted by its laws and independent judiciary. Israel’s basic laws serve as legal safeguards, providing protection of life, body, and dignity in a democratic state with equal rights for all, including ethnic minorities.”

Israel’s occupation of Palestinian Territory is ‘apartheid’: UN rights expert.
https://news.un.org/en/story/2022/03/1114702
GlassHalfFul but head pretty much empty.
Just like all over the World in 2020 “safeguards” are just words.
..I think there is some confusion here. First of all the article you cite mentions Jihadi watch, which is a USA funded pro-Israeli group, with obvious bias.
Second there are no Palestinians in the Israeli legislature.
When he talks about Arabs, he means Arabs who are considered Israeli citizens..who do not have anything like the freedom Israelis have, and it’s an ongoing problem there and much discussed…
https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/what-know-about-arab-citizens-israel
within the law there is only one Arab Judge, Khaled Kabub he is the first and only permanent Arab Judge and was appointed to the Supreme Court..only in 2022…
In relation to Palestine, Israel controls their freedom of movement, their water supply, food supply, electricity etc..so if it’s not apartheid what is it..an open air prison and Israel are the warders?
https://www.amnesty.org/en/location/middle-east-and-north-africa/israel-and-occupied-palestinian-territories/report-israel-and-occupied-palestinian-territories/
But the BBC is the voice of the British establishment which is why they won’t call Hamas terrorists especially since that would upset lots of their staff.
I suppose you could argue that they’re worried about the safety of their reporters (campaigners) over the World.
Which is better – that we know what BBC staff really think or their free speech is muzzled and they are kept silent by their BBC handlers [who may think the same but not say] and we are left to guess about them all?
Sometimes free speech is more important than it is given credit for.
That is not to say we should not expect due professionalism and impartial balanced reporting but it would be better we know the views of those who report – but not find it out from clues to their bias in their reports.
I just wish the BBC would investigate with the same apparent alacrity the totally biased reporting it has done, still does, and will continue do as regards its coverage of –
The “pandemic”
Covid deaths.
None benefts of masks, lockdowns, social distancing, closing schools etc..
Excess deaths and injuries- most almost certainly caused by the mRNA jab.
Climate “change”.
Ukraine.
After all, they are duty bound to achieve true impartiality. Lol.
The problem is they’re using this attack with all the social media horror pics to censor and bring in the Online Censorship Bill to justify closing down debate. Talk TV were talking about this yesterday. All very well if you trust the government.
This is the place to understand BBC bias against Israel for any who are interested…
https://camera-uk.org
I had to laugh when I read “The BBC is obliged to achieve “due impartiality” in all its output. According to its guidelines, while its news journalists also have a “particular responsibility” to uphold the principle in their actions on social media.” I haven’t seen due impartiality on net, zero, Ukraine or COVID or a myriad other issues.
“Including Saying Israeli Hostages Have Been “Arrested”
Would like a link to this as I can’t actually find it reported anywhere.
Thanks
