  1. Lots of sports are mixed. When was the last time you were involved in any competitive sports other than as a spectator?
  2. Posted by me 5 hours ago: And from the Wikipedia link you provided: “Co-founder Matthew Jamison, who now works for YouGov, wrote in 2017 that he was ashamed of his involvement, having never imagined the Henry Jackson Society "would become a far-right, deeply anti-Muslimracist ... propaganda outfit to smear other cultures, religions and ethnic groups". He claimed that "The HJS for many years has relentlessly demonised Muslims and Islam".[63]” what was that you said about ‘Educate yourself’?
  3. And the reporting of the survey’s findings is biased. And yes genocide is terrible.
  4. Which is nowhere near the number who believe Israel are engaged in genocide in Palestine. A perfect example of biased reporting, think tanks and newspaper editors ignoring stuff that’s inconvenient to what they want their audience to read. Its even markedly less than the number of the general British Public who believe Israel is engaged in genocide in Palestine.
  5. And from the same poll, but missing from the reports: 80% of British Muslims and 47 % of the general British Population believe Israel are engaged in genocide in Palestine.
  6. You have absolutely no idea what I have. I’d rather you spent less time fantasizing about me doing things in basements.
  7. We for sure he’s lost a lot of money. And we know he lies about how much money he has.
  8. Oh I’ve quoted from the polling data that is the basis for the topic under discussion? Goodness, you caught me being on topic.
  9. Here’s how bias in reporting work. The HJ Society commissioned a survey of attitudes amongst British Muslims on a range of issues. The poll returns results amongst which the clear leader in terms of support for the view amongst British Muslims is an 80% believe Israel is committing genocide on Palestine. So the HRC Society write a report focussed on the attitudes and beliefs that have below 50% support amongst British Muslims and this gets distributed by the Telegraph and the Jewish Chronicle. That’s precisely how biased reporting works.
  10. It’s not a deflection. He who pays chooses. Come back with a less biased source.
  11. I see so you make a bet I haven’t looked at the file then you disregard data I quote from the file. If you don’t like the data I quoted from the file why do you accept the data you refer to from the same file?
  12. It’s not baseless speculation to say the HJS is a neoliberal think tank with a history of stoking Islamophobia. View the file? Refer above:
  13. Excellent and thank you for the link. From which we learn that the head and shoulders highest agreement amongst the 1000 British Muslims polled was to the question: Israel is committing genocide on Palestinians 80% of those British Muslims agree, while 46% in the polled general population agree.
  14. I’d like to see the source data, sample size, sample selection criteria and the questions asked.
  15. I don’t have to provide alternative information in order to question the impartiality of a source.
  16. Good luck with your hopes for retroactive application of the law you yourself object to.
  17. I hear tell that having an open discussion on anything before the terrorist attack is a bit of a touchy subject. Until that happens I doubt any of us will get an answer, though we might be fed a few.
  18. Unfortunately, to understand it’s necessary to start asking why. When a line is drawn on the day of a terrorist attack and discussion of any recent events or history before the attack is being negated then you can be assured that someone doesn’t want something to be known, discussed or understood. Why do I think …… So now you are asking me to examine the beliefs of others, perhaps I need to look at their own past history, their own background, events that took place before the survey. Though to be honest my first question would be is the survey/report reliable? And if it were reliable I’d ask were are these Muslims getting their information on what is happening in Gaza? It all goes back to the source and being able to ask questions.
