Graham Linehan on the chapter about him in Jon Ronson's new book

OK, so you support a non jewish / secular israel?

Everytime someone wants to make a valid point they undermine themselves by quoting the.

Reem Alsalem is accountable to the UN and like it or not the UN says any report under their name has to have been investigated by them.

So for the 900 and 99 time, Netanyahu in his campaign against the UN denied them the right to enter Israel and conduct an investigation.

At a later date an independent report put together by women in Israel, many of whom worked as part of rape crisis support, was endorsed by the UN.

I have no idea why nearly every thread about just about anything finishes us with someone making an inaccurate and inflamatory remark about a woman who has stood up for women's rights.

But well done for dumbing down a FWR thread.

The is just blatant racist nonsense.

I am not going to ask MNHQ to delete because I think it is worth knowing that there are some who post on FWR who have this sort of bigoted views.

She is Jordanian, and she is culturally unable to side with the Jews on any issue, even if she wanted to.

Reem Alsalem, an otherwise admirable campaigner for women's rights within the UN, flat out denied that Hamas raped women during the October 7 attacks.

I also recall a resounding silence from the 'feminists' in the West when it came to protesting about the horrific attacks the female Jewish festival goes suffered by the Palestinian 'freedom fighters' I think the left insists on calling them.
Very similar to the deafening silence the 'feminist's' in the West have for the plight of the women in Iran.
I don't see it as misogynist to say so, criticising women for the lack of support for other women in peril, because of a warped political agenda, isn't women hating, it's calling them out for being the useful idiots they are.
Bit like all those young dimwitted women who are voting for the Greens.

Seems he's reheating some of his previous shtick. Someone upthread complained about Glinner using the initialism NPC. They might want to stop reading now because I think that's how Ronson and his ilk see women, as NPCs.

Your quote above relates to Zionism.

Plenty of people who aren’t Jewish live in Israel. I assume they are pro-Israel without being Zionist. Belief in the fundamental right to a Jewish state - Zion - is not the same as the defence of that state (Israel).

Glinner very frequently has made this particular dog-whistle. All Palestinians, to him, are Hamas (read: Jihadists). I don’t know if he actually believes this or is folllowing a party line of some sort, just as many conservative would-be ‘influencers’ are. Some have been paid by Israel to say certain things. (Not suggesting this of Glinner to be clear, and of course, the same could be said of the other side).

In this post, the particularly unpleasant part is the suggestion that left-wing feminists support raping and murdering jihadists because of anti-semitism - and stupidity.

What's all this to do with the price of fish?

hang on, how are you defining 'zionist'?

the jewish centre for justice defines it like this

Zionism is the belief in the Jewish people’s right to self-determination in our ancestral homeland of Israel. It affirms that Jews, like all peoples, have the right to live in safety, dignity, and sovereignty in a nation of their own.

that just sounds like being pro-Israel to me?

feels like you are not showing all of your working here. if you state some of your assumptions it might help other posters to understand where you're coming from

I’ve given you some explanations already. If that hasn’t helped you, I can’t help you further.

If you read through the quote history it might be clearer why.

So?

I dont understand why you brought this up.

Can you explain.

Also my OH is also Jewish. Not sure what that has to do with Graham Linehan. Who is Irish.

you are clear in a different post that you don't think Linehan is 'funded' in this way

in which case why are you bringing it up?

OMG. No. Israel funded them in return for positive coverage.

A good amount of highly influential conservative influencers went to Israel a few months ago around about the same time and posted effusively about it. All of these people are pro-Israel (if not Zionists). What would your natural conclusions be about who might have footed the bill for their trips?
