And what about his stance on the Gaza conflict, should they tell him what they think about that, if they even know themselves ? I notice that you, and several other left wingers haven’t made any comments on either of the posts about the appalling pantomime Hamas created when they returned the bodies of the child and the baby that they had been holding hostage, along with some random female that was not their mother, whose body is still not returned …. I wonder why ?

Indeed, and the IDF have just announced that the two children "were brutally murdered by terrorists in captivity in November 2023", according to intelligence and forensic findings. Hamas had said the boys and their mother were killed in an Israeli bombing. I wonder where this forums Hamas apologists like @billd766 have to say about this ?

It is just another example of the mounting evidence that Hamas do not want peace under any circumstances, and are determined to provoke Israel into resuming the war; maybe they are concerned that sympathy for them is waning, but more likely that there is no place for them if peace is ever achieved. If you think about their position as a terrorist organisation, peace has nothing to offer them, it is not, and never has been, one of their objectives; their founding charter / covenant tells everyone their only objective.

News just appeared on the BBC that the Israeli military has announced that one of the bodies returned is not that of hostage Shiri Bibas, as claimed by Hamas. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has informed the Bibas family that the bodies of her sons, Ariel and Kfir have been identified after their remains were given to Israel by Hamas on Thursday. More sickening news for this poor family, and god knows where her body is, or if there is even a faint hope that she might still be alive.

Unfortunately, that would require one of the terrorists to be in possession of that most basic prerequisite of belonging to the human species, a conscience.

Hamas and their acolytes are beyond reprehensible; they are a cancer on humanity; what kind of subhuman monster kidnaps a 9 month old and a 4 year old, and then uses their dead bodies as bargaining chips in negotiations. They are the most vile, barbaric, and inhuman scum on planet earth; and to think we have some posters on this forum, that apologise for them, support them, and make false equivalence excuses for them.

A brief trip, yet his insurance had expired before his hospitalisation. I feel very sorry for the guy, but your insurance shouldn't expire on a brief trip, maybe he didn't actually have any. Too many stories like this, we all have to take proper care of ourselves, it's not the responsibility of others

I appreciate that you said you do not listen to the BBC much, so It is maybe understandable that you incorrectly thought that they have been reporting fairly on Gaza; the corporation has been institutionally antisemitic for decades, rather than years; and the reporter I mentioned is not the worst of them. Tune into any report on Gaza by Jeremy Bowen, or Lyse Doucet; a smorgasbord for antisemites.

Would this be the same BBC, whose war correspondent Jon Donnison stood in Gaza and reported that the blast at the Al-Ahli Arab hospital was caused by an Israeli airstrike, and not, as it actually was, by a misfired rocket from the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) from within Gaza. The same BBC, whose same war correspondent, Jon Donnison, posted a photo of a young girl lying on a hospital bed with bloodied clothes, with the caption “Heartbreaking, Pain in #Gaza” …. when it transpired that the photo of the young girl was actually taken in Syria. Is this the BBC that you are happy to hear are reporting more fairly on the Gaza crisis ?

The way in which you deflect any conversation about Islamic terrorism to change the narrative is extremely disturbing; it’s as if you live in a parallel dimension where 9/11, 7/11, Charlie Hebbo, Nice, Bataclan, London Bridge, Manchester concert, Samuel Paty, etc, etc, etc, etc never actually happened; when in fact, these are the very incidents that give rise to concern amongst Europeans about immigration. This is classic indoctrination of the radical left, whereby you refuse to engage with any discussion about the threat of Islam …. very dangerous territory, I sincerely hope that you do not have voting rights in any European country.

Many thanks; don't suppose you want her back do you ?

Unable to answer or respond in a rational way, and having already used your whataboutery card, you resort to dismissal; my statement “The appalling terrorist attack in Munich proved beyond doubt that not a single muslim living in any western society can be trusted” ……… that you refer to as garbage, was proven to be unequivocally true by the “completely integrated” Islamic scrote that carried out the terrorist attack in Munich. You, rather than offer any argument to contradict that statement, resort to avoidance simply because you cannot handle the truth, and you continue to defend Islam no matter how heinous the crime that any muslim commits. If you can explain how every muslim in Europe can be trusted not to flip his fundamentalist switch like the one in Munich did, then please do so. As for thinking twice before typing, you obviously don't do irony.

Another left winger whose only tool is whataboutery. I did not ask about Christian terrorism, but you immediately try and change the course of the conversation, because either you don’t know about the hundreds and hundreds of Islamic acts of terrorism in Europe, or you refuse to engage about them. Still, you think muslims are a race, so not much chance of a sensible interaction with you.

Deflection whataboutery once again from you, it seems to be your only modus operandi whenever you cannot respond with a rational answer. Below, is the rest of my comment that you shortened in order to try and change the subject completely from my comment; so now respond to the rest of my comment, and if you think after the terrorist attack in Munich, it is fine to accept all muslim immigrants into Europe, without questioning their potential for terrorism, please explain why … thanks “All the left wing liberals on this forum and elsewhere, have been telling us that he was fully integrated into German society; working, no criminal record, western clothes, gym membership, nice cars, the perfect citizen. Then one day, his fundamentalism bursts through his carefully contrived facade, and he decides to try and kill as many innocent infidels as he can. And all we hear from the left is that he had mental health problems; don’t demonise them all because of him; but he has unequivocally proven that none of them can be trusted, because you never know when a ‘fully integrated’ muslim will suddenly flip his fundamental switch”

Did you mean thank Allah for the BBC ?
