Zionism is as catchy as racist, being the trendy words used to fight keyboard warrior battles with. Lazy, unsubstantiated claims trying to make the warrior look the better person.

Or they link it with Apartheid. It is lazy and it's ignorant, but worse, it's bigotry.

It's a somewhat intractable, long running, geo-political conflict which some people believe will be solved by simplistic slogans and chants, or ditching "religious mumbo jumbo" (sic).
The more I read of it, the more I admire people who have worked on various Peace Accords, like Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, Golda Meir, Anwar Sadat, Menachem Begin among others. Some paid with their lives.

Bill Clinton for all his many many horrorific faults got a 97% of land wanted by Pals agreement with Israel plus a 3% land swap of rest of land. However Ararat famously preferred to keep the conflict going.

Ararat was the worst thing that ever happened to the people of Gaza and what they call they west bank. However the fuckwitts still wear his traditional Iraqi scarf like he is some kind of hero. He is only a hero if you like blood shed and ti destroy innocent lives of children for generations.

Yes, Arafat was the one who created that flag as well; the Jordanian one with the cedar tree removed. A veiled threat to the Jordanians about that land.
I've read a lot about various Accords and how many hours, days and months of hard work went into them. I read that Golda Meir went undercover into neighbouring lands to personally negotiate.
It's a shame about Clinton's legacy, because he worked hard on this.

Those statistics are shocking, but tell a story. A Jewish homeland, with secure borders, is essential.

And that is all the majority of Jewish people want

However when some cretins hear the words Jewish homeland they immediately without understanding Jewish history of in other countries around the world think it is 100% about religion.

Very simplistic view used to demonise Jews who just want to keep their own people safe. Something that other groups of people especially minority groups like Jews are normally allowed the grace by modern society to campaign for and do wherever possible.

If people aren't safe then we should be dealing with it in the UK. We have strict rules and we shouldn't tolerate it.

We should behave like adults and treat each other with respect.

You're addressing this to the wrong side - the side that just wants to be left alone.

The aggressor is the only one that can stop the conflict. The one with the mandate to annihilate the Jewish state and drive the Jews into the sea. In this conflict, all sides are putting pressure on the persecuted - it can't be solved that way.

I think there's a lot of wilful ignorance as well as prejudice. Sometimes at an astonishing level.
There was a trans rally in my town a few weeks ago. There were Palestinian flags and banners reading "Trans for Palestine".
If it wasn't so tragic, I would have laughed.

Fuckwits sums them up perfectly. Parading around wearing a symbol of war and destruction so they can shout at other people for how they support baby killers.

Yep one thing that he actually tried to do right. I heard him talk about it a while ago and it seems like something he was passionate about and still regrets didn't happen.

"Golda Meir went undercover" This made me chuckle the idea that she could be unrecognisable anywhere. She was rather unique looking like myself but I get what you mean they sneaked here in.

True! 😂 She actually wore a hijab and travelled by taxi! It all went wrong with the Yom Kippur War of course. Something a certain group also don't understand.
I've read the biographies of Meir and also Moshe Dayan - he was born in Palestine, of course.
True about Clinton.

She knew the hatred against Jews, that outweighed the love for the haters' own people. I loved the portrayal of Golda in the film Munich.

Oh Trans for Palestine is a LGBQT thing

I thought they were referring to Trans Jordan because the population is 60% to 70% Pals or decendants of Pals

Did think it was odd that lot championing the real pal state rather than their normal calls to destroy Israel to create a second Pal state

Yes! Very true, @Neverstopwondering. The whole geography of the area, with historical boundaries, seems mysterious to some.

I should really read those too, sounds interesting

Put them on my book list thanks

She said that her concern was that their hatred meant that they would launch wars, no matter the impact on their own people. A good example being what's happened in Gaza. Hamas don't care.

That would blow the fuckwits' minds if they had to study that map!

Talking of maps, remember when the Global March to Gaza was actually marching to some Egyptian beach resort?

Dear god. It would be funny if they weren't so dangerous.

noblegiraffe · 11/10/2026 11:49

It's a shame that the march was stopped because I would have loved for them to have arrived at their destination.

Seen as we are rather derailed on this thread at the moment I will add this now. Hilarious take on queers/gays/trans for Pals. I love this guys way of showing just how funny/ ridiculous some of these groups and agreements are:

ScarlettOYara · 11/10/2026 12:10

Honestly, I cannot stand Trump or anything he stands for, but I did like hid suggestion to send the gay supporters to Palestine to broker peace!

Very occasionally he says something spot on (like a stopped clock being right twice a day)
