Apropos of nowt, for the first time in a decade I'm not bothering with this year's GBG.

Unfolding events. He's appalling.

There are people who are condemning properly and adding "but...", which I maybe find misjudged today, but I don't think such people are bad or anything. But this Jez stuff is a different matter. He's still got potential to tuck Labour up.

Quite frankly the reaction of a number of people on the left to this shows thieir moral bankruptcy and sociopathy.

Here's an example

In fairness, that's pretty much in its class of its own among anybody I've heard of. The rest are mostly "well, this is happening because of the Occupation", but with condemnation too in most cases.

How difficult would it be to say they're as bad as each other?

True but Micheal Walker posted something almost equally bad but he's deleted his tweet, others have tried to draw a false equivalence to what Ukraine are doing.

Once again Phil Moorhouse nails it so that I don't have to.
This is easily the most coherent comment on Israel/Palestine and the responses to it that I've heard from anyone.

It's really not hard, is it?

It’s days like this that demonstrate why Keir booted his arse. Why is ITV News even speaking to the silly old fool?

Dr Eoin is on the case..

If I remember rightly, Jez as leader had to stop this nonsense. Back to normal now.

Soundbite/clickbait/ammo. Remember, he's still a party member.

Because everytime he opens his mouth that's a few less votes for Labour.

This bothsidesery is losing its lustre after these hordes of murderous, beard-burning barbarians have paraded their misogyny and anti-Semitism on global news outlets.

Hamas is not Palestine and Palestinians are not Hamas.

While that other New Yorkian fraudster is certainly not Israel, that is a conversation for another day.

Precisely.

Not in Israel it isn’t, Haaretz is just as scathing in blaming Bibi but you’d expect that, this is the Times of Israel

For years, Netanyahu propped up Hamas. Now it’s blown up in our faces

Has he seriously still not got anything better to say than “all attacks are bad, mmmkay?”.

If he really is a ‘friend to the Palestinians’, he should be having a stern word pointing out that - in general - the world’s sympathies were very much moving towards the plight of Palestinians and away from an obviously corrupt, hardline Israeli government. But that this stunt has undone a lot of that at a stroke.

Don't be silly Crabby. That would require actually thinking about the situation and recognising that the shit isn't all one-sided.

That's a bit above Jezza's pay grade.

Jez committed to renewing Trident and 2% spending on Defence- any arms manufacturers involved in that? Did you miss the climate policy? The red carpet was rolled out to Dale Vince too.
