Who is claiming he was there? PCR certainly were. PCR with their links to Hamas. Majad al Zeer as the president of the NGO being there is irrelevant if he was or not. Stop making things up and read the OP. Or any other media outlet reporting the same meeting.

A British pro-Palestinian activist, who has appeared in parliament at events with former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and other MPs has been accused by German authorities of being Hamas's key liaison in Europe. Majed Al-Zeer, 61, is alleged to have numerous high-level contacts within the Hamas leadership. A file from the German interior ministry, first reported by magazine Der Spiegel, named Al-Zeer as the 'person responsible for Hamas' in Germany and across Europe. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12898103/British-pro-Palestinian-activist-accused-German-authorities-Hamass-key-liaison-Europe.html The fact that the organizer has promised they would not be invited again sort of says they <deleted> this up and are not in any way trying to defend the meeting. Of course there are always those that will lap it up and gloss over the terrorist connections. Sickening.

Leaving aside the facts that this is a make believe theory you mean. One used often by those opposed to the war on terrorists.

Oh look more disregard for the poll results and messenger bashing, more proof you have nothing, just can't help yourself.

I know what you wrote. If you did not have that in mind when you wrote it then you should have not written it. Simple There you go again, ranting with the rest of your post and neglecting who the real perpetrators of the blood lust are. Expected from you.

Personally I think they should give this attention and not have invited them, known terrorist supporters. Not surprised though that you glossed over that.

So the Times reports on a very large poll and now it suddenly becomes ‘salty’ fantasies When you have nothing, spew out some messenger bashing Here some more salty fantasies, this time from your go to Guardian: Labour fears grow as Reform eyes victories in local election battleground Nigel Farage’s party is building on the unpopularity of the government and is set to challenge it in next year’s polls. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/dec/21/labour-fears-grow-as-reform-eyes-victories-in-local-election-battleground

As soon as I saw this I just knew there had to be a Corbyn connection............. One of the UK's inhouse terrorist sympathizers

Why are you disputing that Russia invaded Ukraine?

No you weren't. You didn't say that then. Like I said vile and disgusting. The only group here with blood lust are the Hamas terrorists who even filmed themselves for proof and continue to hold innocent hostages. Those they've not executed that is. The horrific torture and sexual abuse these hostages have been through including children is beyond words.

So if we take it they are living on their own land, and not refugees in another country, why are there 30,000 "United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees" still there? You'd think the amount of money could be better spent by the gov there, oh wait, it was Hamas with different priorities than the actual living standards of their own citizens. Anyway, now that Hamas propaganda has extended to making claims of frozen babies, why does someone not just ask them to release the remaining hostages and give up their machine guns so that this can all come to an end?

It's not a credible opinion because I made statements of facts backed by links ......read my posts again. When I write something I know when I'm writing it whether it is an opinion or not. I know when I wrote my posts to you they were factaul statements because I had already researched and read about them in credible links in the previous topic on the School hikes over a month ago. So I was quite well versed already. Of course I then added links to confirm any facts I mentioned. So next time you try mind reading about whether I'm giving an opinion or a factual statement try not to claim something you had no idea about. Here was my firsr response: A factual statement, not an opinion. Links were subsequently provided, go back and read them.

So you get what you ask for and then still question it. They were Hamas terrorists killed, whether they were doing other jobs part time or just helping their terrorist masters looking after hostages or whatever. Keep up the good work simple1 and don't forget to blame Netanyahu for the hostages. And your claim of the Israeli blood lust......... Cease my personal attacks? I made none, just stating facts.

Easy, 20,000 of the terrorists down so far (that was 2 months ago), that spoilt your Sunday............

Just read it. I doubt the left will want to read it though. Labour should learn from private schools, not terrorise them But what the Keir Starmer government is doing is potentially brutal. It may inflict the biggest state-instigated damage on private school pupils in history. No one knows exactly how big the hit will be. Predictions differ wildly. The policy has played well with Labour supporters, not least those on the left whom Starmer has been eager to woo https://archive.ph/Ldesh

Anything to add to the topic? No, I'm done for the moment. Thought not, just personal attacks. The only thing left when you have nothing.

Obviously your opinion is not credible. Anything to add to the actual topic?

A snippet from the Executive Summary pdf download mentioned in the above report. Its actually from 2018 so Labour had plenty of time to ponder this.....I guess that's why the Conservatives never touched it, too much of a disaster waiting to happen if implimented. Some independent schools would need to close entirely, and most schools would need to scale-back their educational offer, whether by merging classes, stopping certain subjects, limiting curriculum choices, dropping co-curricular activities or reducing the pastoral care they provide. The extent of these changes is likely to mean that the UK’s educational offer and its international attractiveness would be harmed 3) The VAT policy would cause significant upheaval and disruption to the lives and education of many tens of thousands of children, often at key stages of their lives 4) The sheer number of pupils leaving the sector and needing to be educated by the state would also place great strains on the maintained sector, with the need to build new schools and classrooms and absorb many pupils quickly. Further, as it would also be virtually impossible to predict in advance in which towns or regions such demand would take place, the move would be a recipe for a great deal of community tension, for example in relation to school catchment areas, first-choice preferences and the National Schools Offer Date 5) The policy would therefore be likely to harm not only the education of those independent school pupils who switched, but also the education of pupils in receiving state schools

Indeed: VAT on private schools Labour aim to raise £1.5 billion from applying VAT and business rates to private schools. Labour confirmed this policy a while back and the debate as to its likely effects has been raging ever since. Most private schools – who are facing pressure from rising wage and pension costs - will not be able to absorb the imposition of VAT at 20% and will pass this onto parents. It’s likely to make a private education unaffordable for most middle-class families, even where earnings are high and more children will end up in state schools instead. A 20% hike would be a final deal-breaker for many thousands of families. A recent survey by Bains Cutler suggested that as many as 42% of the total number of children currently in fee-paying places could be taken out of their schools and into the state system over the next five years. It means that private education will become the preserve of the wealthiest families and, increasingly, high net worth overseas parents seeking the prestige of a British private education for their children. There’s the added danger that untold pressures are brought to bear on the best state schools. https://www.evelyn.com/insights-and-events/insights/labour-manifesto-tax-evasion-vat-private-schools/

A new Report being summitted to the UN shorty, contains harrowing details from the released hostages in the deal back in Nov. An eight-page report published today describes from the testimonies of survivors of captivity how Hamas terrorists abuse the hostages in captivity, among the horrific testimonies: Two teenagers held together during captivity were tied up for part of the time with their hands and legs tied and beaten throughout their captivity. The two were forced to perform sexual acts on each other, and their captors also performed sexual acts on them, including complete stripping, touching private parts, and whipping their genitals. Two other children had signs of burns in the lower extremities. The captors forced most of the women to undress when others, including their captors, saw them naked. In addition, some of the young women said that their captors touched them sexually. Some noted that they lay tied to the bed - and their captor sat and stared at them. An elderly woman held captive was alone in a dark room for 30 days, tied up and unable to move. The men experienced more severe physical abuse, and they were constantly starved, beaten vigorously all over their bodies, burned into their skin with iron, locked in a closed room with very little food and water, held in solitary confinement with their hands and feet tied, and denied the opportunity to go to the toilet – so they were forced to defecate on themselves. Burned, beaten, starved: Health Ministry compiles hostage testimonies to submit to UN Final report to be presented to UN committee that deals with torture; health minister says it should be a ‘wake-up call’ to pressure Hamas into releasing remaining captives https://www.timesofisrael.com/burned-beaten-starved-health-ministry-compiles-hostage-testimonies-to-submit-to-un/ https://archive.ph/M9ODM

There you go the real simple1 outing himself, showing your support for the terrorists who are holding innocent hostages some murdered, children, babies and some raped then putting the onus on Netanyahu. More vile rhetoric from you. There is NO excuse for holding hostages, ever.

The only blood lust being carried out here is by Hamas, accusations that its being employed by Israel is disgusting and shameful. Perhaps Hamas would be kind enough to release the hostages they have not murdered yet so this could stop and the civilians in Gaza will not have to suffer anymore because of them?

Which has nothing to do with the IDF and its war on terror, Hamas who hide among civilians and in their terror tunnels, a new war strategy never employed before and one which Israel has had to adapt in the face of ongoing missile attacks on Israel from Hamas and other Iran funded terrorists. Israel’s New Approach to Tunnels: A Paradigm Shift in Underground Warfare One of the main reasons the IDF were unprepared for Gaza’s underground spaces was simply that no military had faced anything like it in the past—not even Israeli ground forces. The IDF faced a Hamas military organization that had spent over fifteen years engineering the infrastructure of an entire region—to include over twenty major cities—for war, with the group’s political-military strategy resting on a vast and expensively constructed subterranean network under Gaza’s population centers. The Hamas underground network, often called the “Gaza metro,” includes between 350 and 450 miles of tunnels and bunkers at depths ranging from just beneath apartment complexes, mosques, schools, hospitals, and other civilian structures to over two hundred feet underground. There are estimates of over five thousand separate shafts leading down into Hamas subsurface spaces. In past wars, where underground environments were used, the tunnel networks were subordinate to the surface and were not built solely under population centers mostly to be used as massive human shields. https://mwi.westpoint.edu/israels-new-approach-to-tunnels-a-paradigm-shift-in-underground-warfare/
