Apologies, I meant to include something about Harris being worse than the rest by a factor of about 10. NZ just escaped from a similar woman PM so I know to be scared, very scared by someone like that being in charge of the free world. I don't mind Trump as POTUS because he's entertaining and he DOESN'T START WARS, his wife is prettier than Joe's and he DOESN'T START WARS, he tried to build the wall, even if he wasn't able to finish it and he DOESN'T START WARS. The boys of the western world thank him for not having to go home in a bag.

If I know why Trump beat her, people in the democrat party must also, but what have they done in the past 3 years to do something about those reasons? IMO sod all, zip, nothing at all, and then they put up a man visibly deteriorating to go against Trump. Either they are unable to do anything about the corruption in Washington, or they thought the court cases would eliminate him. They should be panicking about now.

If that were true I might not get so stressed about a Biden win ( IMO they are all as bad as each other ), except one has to accept that a Biden Harris win is more than likely to result in a Harris POTUS, and that scares me. That she might be in charge of the western world should scare all of us.

Just about any non corrupt politician that can speak properly, doesn't call out to dead people and can walk properly would probably win against Trump. However as it looks like it's going to be Stumblin' Joe, about now next year the snow flakes will be crying again.

He's a Democrat, probably hates Trump so what else would he say? Trump couldn't even get a wall built where it was so badly needed, yet we are supposed to believe that he will be able to subvert the government of the US. This sort of non news belongs with the rest of the junk mail, IMO.

Better propaganda on Joe's side.

Time for that woman to be given the order of the boot and consigned to sorting paper clips in some dark Whitehall store room.

You need to prove that. I've seen zero reports of protestors causing trouble, though right wing thugs were and were arrested for it.

and that is the great and everlasting shame of the western world that has ignored the atrocities that have been happening for over 30 years in the illegally occupied Palestinian land. The protests should have been happening for 30 years. Shame that it took this to let people know how the Palestinians have been humiliated, oppressed and murdered with impunity for so long. One can only hope that it results in the expulsion of the illegal israeli settlers from the west bank and East Jerusalem, a genuine and viable free Palestinian state and reparations from israel for all it's crimes in illegally occupied Palestine. Netanyahu in the ICC would be good but unlikely.

Wouldn't far right be israeli supporters?

They were the people wearing yellow jackets over their clothes. They didn't need to control the pro Palestinian protestors who were peaceful, unlike the thugs that tried to attack the protestors and were arrested by the cops.

Given the protest was peaceful you are IMO being melodramatic. The only problems were by right wing thugs trying to attack the protestors and easily dealt with by the cops, who arrested them.

Given that it was "started off" in 1948 and has only gotten worse, I understand why they did what they did. I'm not saying it wasn't wrong, but IMO the oppression by the israelis for many decades made something like it inevitable. Treat people badly, humiliate them daily, deprive them of any hope for the future, murder their children, steal their land for illegal settlements under the protection of heavily armed soldiers, lock them up in the world's biggest prison and when they protest send in tanks and murder thousands of them, but expect them to not resist is hypocrisy writ large, IMO. The biggest problem though, is that israelis are contaminated with hatred for Palestinians, and brutalised by having to serve in a military which is used primarily to oppress millions of people simply for being born Palestinian. That is called racism, where I'm from. I doubt I can persuade you or any of your ilk to see things from a Palestinian point of view, but walking in someone else's shoes is the only way to understand them.

From that post I have no idea which side you are on. Please make it obvious so I can respond appropriately.

Excellent post, especially the last sentence.

Thumbs up for that post. Seems some posters have nothing more than insults to offer. Not much out there on world media to prove that israel is on the side of the angels.

and apparently you support israel blowing up 4,000 Palestinian children. Tell me if you don't. If you can't see that the protests are because the israelis are 'apparently' committing war crimes and crimes against humanity, I can only shake my head in sorrow that some are apparently willfully blind to the horror being inflicted on innocent children. Thankfully millions around the world see the truth and are protesting the massacres of the innocent.

Being anti zionist has zero to do with being anti semitic. Loads of Jews demonstrating against israel's attacks on Palestine. Never mind, keep on deflecting, but the world has been watching and the people of the world agree that there needs to be a ceasefire and unlimited aid to Gaza.

I never thought a time would come that I would be on the same side as C H, but here we are!

Protest has been and gone and your somewhat inflammatory claims were apparently disproven. No reports I've seen that support your claims. Perhaps you have some I missed. The only arrests were for right wing thugs.

IMO most questions when it comes to anything to do with government decisions that are not entirely "logical" are answered if one "follows the money".

IMO they can't admit that it's stalemate, as that implies Russia might not lose, and Russia losing is the ONLY thing that makes throwing billions and billions of $ into the bottomless pit that is Ukraine worth while. How can they explain to the ambulance drivers in the UK that they couldn't have a pay rise because all the money was wasted in Ukraine with ZERO to show for it? IMO, western "leaders" that went along with the story that Ukraine could defeat Russia if only the west will give it lots and lots and lots of taxpayers money, will be looking seriously embarrassed come the next election.

and then the israelis bomb them in the south. Now it seems the israelis don't even bother with the charade of attacking Hamas given how many residential buildings they keep blowing up. Israel is turning so many against them, they may find themselves in the same situation as apartheid South Africa, a pariah nation. Massive demonstration in London on Saturday, despite sunak's best attempt to stop them. That guy will be gone soon enough, but I fear netanyahu and his cronies won't. https://www.reuters.com/world/huge-crowds-expected-london-pro-palestinian-rally-police-gear-trouble-2023-11-11/ More than 300,000 pro-Palestinian demonstrators marched through central London on Saturday, with police arresting over 120 people as they sought to stop far-right counter-protesters from ambushing the main rally. The cops arrested the right wing thugs, but natanyahu would probably give them a medal . I hope netanyahu, and every member of his war cabinet see the inside of the international criminal court, as they are apparently committing war crimes left right and centre. Sadly, I doubt that will happen given how far Biden is bending over to support netanyahu. If netanyahu were to be found guilty of war crimes, Biden would IMO be complicit, so not going to happen.

While it's not this topic you mentioned it so........ I wish posters would stop saying that the Palestinians had anything to do with resisting the Israelis in 1948. It was Jordan, Syria and Egypt that sent armies. The Palestinians had no army, no training and no weapons sufficient to resist. They didn't even have a country to lose as Jordan, with the British egging them on had annexed Palestine to stop the Palestinians having a homeland. If there is anyone to blame for the chaos to come, it was the British.

Alas, I am so extremely cynical that no placebo would ever work on me.
