Current Affairs Israel is an apartheid state

[tsubaki]

To put it another way, what would any decent, humanity minded person from Israel think at the fact their government has engaged in what the ICJ terms a plausible genocide and apartheid. Jimmy Carter the ex US president called it an apartheid in 2006 - and that's saying something.

It's no secret that the main media outlets in Israel are an arm of the government in fuelling Zionist propaganda just as the media oppresses citizens in all countries with despot leaders. The ICJ, known as the World Court and part of the United Nations is now being smeared as anti-semitic by the Israeli govt and their media - let that sink in.

Carter was perhaps the last US President to have an objective opinion on Israeli-Arab relations

Gaza is under control by terrorist's and Israel have every right to eradicate them imo.

Nobody has the right to eradicate anybody. You do realise Hamas won the 2006 general election in Palestine? Why haven't they had an election since -because last time Israel was arresting Palestinian politicians, banning public meetings and stopping people in Jerusalem voting.

Whatever you think of Palestine do not smear their democracy as promoting terrorism when their democracy and right to self-determine their future has been stopped every step of the way.

Israelis have it drummed into them from a very young age that they're only one step from the gas chambers, and that Israel is beset with existential threats from all sides, that the world is out to get them and everyone hates them.

That the Palestinians haven't had an election since 2006 is as much to do with Abu Mazen wanting to hang on to power as it is with Israel.

And yet the now-Prime Minister of our country stated only a few months ago that Israel has the right to cut off water and electricity in Gaza. A good part of our government front-bench has been signed up to the parliamentary group Labour Friends of Israel.

And yet Joe Biden has consistently defended Israel, during the years as a Senator took more in donations from pro-Israel groups than anybody else.

More than this

Everyone is afraid he will lose to Hamas which is likely given how unpopular the PA is.

Apparently those arrest warrants are being issued within the next week or so.

Let’s hope the plane taking that sub human cretin Netanyahu to the USA develops issues and is forced to land somewhere where the arrest warrant is enforced

Surely he will no longer be allowed to fly over airspace in countries that will oblige by the arrest warrant?

I mean as a Socialist I don't see many of my views in Jimmy Carter, not least his embrace of capitalist monetarism. But his voice against Israel has got to be one of the most respected.

One last one from me for today...

Lots of debate around whether Israel should be kicked out of FIFA. Reminded of me of last season in the Champions League qualifiers and the way Maccabi Haifa (Israel) fans behaved at Ta' Qali stadium in Malta last season, throwing flares on the pitch against Hamrun Spartans (Malta Premier League Champions) after their fans chanted Palestine. And allegedly at Maltese fans as well.

There's probably other examples but I'm half-Maltese so reading that one last year stuck with me

No question in my mind - ban them!

As I have stated before, those friends of Israel groups need to be investigated.
Our MPs being paid and influenced by a foreign power is not acceptable.

There was a very sketchy video a few years ago of Joan Ryan, Chair of Labour Friends of Israel accepting a £1m donation from the Israel govt in return for supplying info to them.

That wasn't a sketchy video, it was part of a four-part documentary by al-Jazeera called "The Lobby". Also it wasnt in return for supplying info, it was to set up astroturf groups and take people on holiday on research trips to Israel:

Been a while since I seen it I will admit so thank you Al Jazeera is a good news source, did you watch their series the Labour Files?
