I think it would be fair to say that I am pro palestinian in the same way that you attribute to to Corbyn. I dont agree with her views. why do you assume Corbyn does. I am also one of the 300,000 jews you talk about living in this country. I know many jews, some I am related to some I am friends...
ok let me make something clear to start with. I disagree with what she said. I believe the practical act of what she proposes would mean the forced relocation of people. This would in any terms be an attrocity. I believe the forced reloction of anyone whether they be israeli or palestinian is...
Technically you are right, and I have also wondered why the term anti semitism is used when people mean anti jewish.

However in practical terms it has come to mean the same thing, and therefore people do see it in its current usage.
Yup I'd agree with this. You've made your point, dont get into an argument with people that will never agree with you anyway. Many do agree with you, and will feel encouraged by what you say. Good luck and well done.
to save yourself looking anymore ignorant of what youre talking about, I suggest you watch the film V for Vendetta to get an idea of where the inspiration comes from.
I think there are two issues here.
Firstly should Tony Blair be arrested and charged with war crimes. For that to happen there would have to be a war crime that he committed for him to be charged with. In theory it may be argued that the uk transporting Iraqis from Iraq to Guantanamo to be...
I used to work as a support worker for young homeless adults with medium to high support needs. We worked in a hostel. All of the young people were vulnerable in some way, and as the cuts increased we were forced to take higher and higher support needs. Many were ex offenders, some with a...
What I am saying is the government, the EU and the large corporations will spend as much as they need to to spread fear about the consequences of leaving in order to ensure there is a yes vote. This will be whether the propaganda is truthful or just random scaremongeriung as happened in the...
I appreciate that there are other threads on the EU. However the above quote in today's Independent by the European Commisisoner for Trade so sums up the contempt the Eurocrats and Governments have for the people of Europe I thought people should see it rather than it be lost in an argument...
People as diverse as Warren Buffet and Noam Chomsky disagree. Im sure they'll be relieved that NSC has declared it over.

I agree, although I am of the left, I have consistently said in this thread, I dont believe what is happening is about left or right. I believe politics is realligning across the world and old ideas of left and right will no longer be useful. I know many people on the left who I have as little...
Ed Miliband was young, but believe me he wasnt percieved as left wing by anyone but the right and centre. Im not suggesting Corbyn will nominate a successor. That would be an anaethma to a democratic socialist. I'm suggesting that there will be a left wing grouping within the PLP, as there is at...
You sound so like what my sister says who is also a member in Hove. A couple of pointsthough. You are right that young people are being politically engaged from apathy whereas the left hadnt stopped being political. However a large number of the left whilst still political have been alienated...
I think the short answer to this is dependent upon what type of prime minister you want to see. If you wish to see a presidential type prime minister like thatcher or blair then no I dont believe that would suit his style. If you wish to see a prime minister that tries to lead by consensus like...
