God she's stunning. Her figure!!

I've just watched countdown and she mentioned her dc being 1. She looks perfect.

Plus she seems really nice too.

And mega brain.

Oh well sigh

As I said, I'm fairly sure this pile on on Rachel is because she has recently been posting both in support of Black Lives Matter and women's rights.

Do you realise how low that comment goes? Probably not, because you're only interested in trashing anyone who disagrees with you and can't see past that. But let me tell you that you have absolutely no right to conflate my view on the Zionist agenda on Palestine with an (assumed) attack on movements like Black Lives Matter and Women's Rights. You're stirring up all sorts of shit there and yet your posts still stand.

Funny that Hmm

incognitomum · 04/06/2020 20:02

I had no idea about the political postings of RR.

I just thought how amazing she looked today and thought it was filmed after pregnancy. Before lockdown obviously.

Hope she isn't a mumsnetter. And no I'm not her.

"Do you realise how low that comment goes?"

Says the poster who had a post deleted for anti-Semitism.

Two wrongs don't make a right. I hold my hands up. Do you?

CustardySergeant · 04/06/2020 20:16

"incognitomum" "I just thought how amazing she looked today and thought it was filmed after pregnancy. Before lockdown obviously."

So did you completely invent "she mentioned her dc being 1" then? Why?

SuckingDieselFella · 04/06/2020 20:18

You're still ranting about the "Zionist agenda on Palestine" so you clearly aren't holding your hands up.

You aren't still ranting about a Zionist conspiracy against Corbyn but you've learned nothing.

None of my posts have needed to be deleted for racism so there's nothing to hold my hands up for.

*Rachel Riley is a woman.

You've just thrown her under a bus.

What kind of points are you posting for?*
Pointing out that Rachel Riley supports dismantling certain rights for women is not throwing her under the bus. It is a factual statement @SuckingDieselFella

SuckingDieselFella · 04/06/2020 20:18

What rights does she dismantle?

I don't follow twitter, I have a life.

SiaPR · 04/06/2020 20:21

Not sure why you've tagged me. Your comment is not responding to what I wrote.
Your comment is correct. Both the Israeli state and Palestinian terrorist organisations have blood on their hands.

I was responding to what you wrote.

You stated that the Hamas argument is "kind of accurate".

It isn't an argument. It's a lie which was created to justify killing of Jews. Hamas are a terrorist organisation in case you weren't aware. There was never an ethnically pure land inhabited by Palestinians. It's what they want but it never existed in the past. You would have to be simple to believe it.

Floatyboat · 04/06/2020 20:31

Its not an argument invented by Hamas. That's bollocks. The basic idea that the creation of Israel displaced and impoverished people living in Palestine is totally accurate. Just because Hamas also believe it to be true doesn't make it false.

incognitomum · 04/06/2020 20:48

CustardySergeant no she said she was going to a boy's first birthday party. Can't remember his name? And I thought her dc must have been 1. And was filmed before lockdown. But now know her baby is young and was someone else's dc.

But obviously that's all irrelevant Wink

Black lives matter so much to her shes happy to push others to vote for a proven racist whos describes black people as Picannines with watermelon smiles

I don't like her.

It's this argument that is bollocks.

The PLO invented the idea of a Palestinian land inhabited by Palestinian people. It never existed. The Palestinians are Syrian in origin. The land they call Palestine was inhabited by Muslims, Christians and Jews. If you don't know this you need to go away and educate yourself because you will end up looking foolish.

The Palestinians could have had their own state many years ago but they have refused to negotiate with Israel because they won't recognise that it exists. They'd prefer to vote for a terrorist organisation which has pledged to drive every Jew into the sea. This is the same organisation you think it's ok to share beliefs with.

anascrecca · 04/06/2020 22:36

I'm probably just jealous but I find her very smug and in love with herself.

Bebbanburger · 04/06/2020 22:40

I really didn't like what she did with the t-shirt. I don't like her and I don't watch countdown.

You're blaming Rachel Riley for Labour voters who changed to Conservative voters?

But of course not Corbyn and Momentum for allowing explicit antisemitism. Their major competence was to shit the bed in multiple ways and fail to be elected with remarkable efficiency. It was a pathetic showing and now we have Johnson.

But sure, blame Rachel Riley. That's an impressive amount of doublethink going on there.

Floatyboat · 04/06/2020 23:28

@SuckingDieselFella

Someone else wrote that quote. You really like your racial identity politics don't you. Who cares if they are "Syrian in origin". Should people of African origin go back to Africa? If someone has legitimately made a home somewhere then that means something. People living in Palestine post second world war had their lives thrown into turmoil and were disenfranchised by the creation of Israel. That isn't a controversial thing to say.

FliesandPies · 04/06/2020 23:41

'The Palestinians' won't recognise Israel? That ignorant statement highlights your real agenda - that 'The Palestinians' are all of like mind with Hamas so are 'all terrorists' and not to be trusted in your eyes.

Hamas have NOT refused to negotiate with Israel, they have set conditions for negotiations, as have Israel. Conditions set by both sides usually prevent negotiations as the other side won't accept them.

Israel is in breach of International Law and UN resolutions in it's treatment of Palestine and constantly blocks attempts by Palestine to be recognised as a state in it's own right - i.e. they want to deny the right of Palestine to exist.

Oh, and i'm not a fan of Riley.

CrowdedHouseinQuarantine · 04/06/2020 23:42

I love her and pasha

noraclavicle · 05/06/2020 00:32

Anti-Zionism says that Jews should not have their own nation state

And weirdly enough, it’s only Jews that get abuse for having their own state, both from the far-right and from people on the left who proclaim themselves to be anti-racist. How do you square that circle? What is it specifically about that group of people that means they get uniquely targeted?

user1471565182 · 05/06/2020 00:44

xxyz not a tiny amount by any means, and assigning one political belief to all jewish people is the oldest trope in the book

user1471565182 · 05/06/2020 00:46

Why are you talking about Corbyn, HighestSardine? I didnt once mention him or the labour party in my comment
