Donāt think it was aimed at you Cobs, maybe a bit sensitive, it can also see how it might have come across that way?
It was aimed at Cobs, but I have no idea where he gets the implied racism from.
The _only _thing I was pointing out was his conflation with the discussion of a _state _with his description of his business associate, which was more about a religion or at the very least, an _identity _that people subscribe to.
What Cobs implied, by saying that he knew one representative of a community was okay, was that people here were espousing the view that members of that community were not okay.
That didnāt come from anyone else but him, and doesnāt help the discussion.

That was certainly not the intent - jeez - read into it what you will if it fits your world view.
My time here is done I have nothing useful to say (flounces off exit stage leftā¦)
Mwah, Cobs.
You got one downvote, a couple of replies clarifying the position and you got away with calling me a cunt in two threads without me responding in kind.
There are better reasons to take your ball home.
lolz - thatās funnyā¦
- off to Gatters for re pickup / drop off this week. Mebbe should have posted on the early wee prostate threadā¦

Another reminder from last week of Israels dehumanisation of the Palestinian population.
Interesting story.
Sadly some politicians seem to be corrupt wherever the areā¦
Netanyahu is a patronising arsehole.
Who could ever forget his wonderful analogue Powerpoint on the Iran nuclear threat when he was trying to put the kibosh on the Iran nuclear deal?

_ The next time anyone tries to blame the Palestinians for refusing to return to the table, remember that Israelās prime minister repeatedly states his unwillingness to end the occupation. _
Heās said it countless times before in myriad ways. But he usually only says it in Hebrew. This week, however, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said in English, and on camera, that under his leadership Israel will never end the occupation of Palestine.
Speaking at the Economic Club of Washington earlier this week, Netanyahu dodged a question about whether he supports a one- or two-state solution, and outlined a vision that sounds a lot like an entrenched and enhanced version of the occupation as it exists today

Iāve read Weirās book āAgainst Our Better Judgementā. Itās a very short book, covering the history of political zionism.
It is meticulously sourced. The book ends on the Kindle before the 50% mark. The rest is linked references and sources, most of them Israeli.
Well when I threw stones as a boy I was threatened to be sent to bed without any tea.
If it was another nation state there would unanimous condemnation of their actions. I struggle to see why this sort of thing is allowed to continue. It is simply wrong and needs to be stopped.

Cornyn tweeted condemnation of this today which has not gone down well for some. Many messages stating that the Palestinians were rioting and are terrorists and not protesting peaceful.
As ever the stories are manipulated to what ever agenda you want.
