Israel has never been sworn to Iran’s destruction, as
@skynews
@dominicwaghorn
suggests. The Islamic republic has, however, been sworn to Israel’s destruction. Why try to equate one nation’s desire not to be wiped out with the other’s desire to wipe it out?
The BBC has admitted that hundreds of viewer comments in Arabic praising terrorism and denying or downplayed the Holocaust were allowed to remain on its social media pages unmoderated.

David Cameron's suggestion of recognising a Palestinian state, only 116 days after the the Palestinians carried out the most vicious and egregious act of terrorism on a British ally (and on British citizens, two of whom are still held hostage in Gaza) is outrageous and stupid.
BBC finds Andrew Marr guilty of breach over claim Israel killed 'lots of Palestinian kids'. "Anti-semitism campaigner Jonathan Sacerdoti complained." Mail on Sunday report.
How many of those pro-Palestinian protestors did you see calling for the release of the hostages Hamas took? Or condemning Iran's use of Gazans as pawns? They say they’re there to help the Palestinians, but all they do is attack the Jewish state. I wonder why.

Why did so many demand photos of dead babies? Why must Israel open its body bags and show its corpses to the world? There is something poisonous behind these unreasonable demands. Let's call it what it is: antisemitism.
The protestors' call for a ceasefire is, at its core, a facade. The underlying agenda appears to be an attempt to cultivate widespread, generalised animosity towards Israel. The are more focused on intimidation and bullying

Pro Palestinians drove through London in 2021 with megaphones shouting "F**k the Jews, rape their daughters". Last week, Hamas did just that in south Israel. It's not hard to join the dots.
Nobody should be able to drive through the street threatening rape!

Their presence isn’t “provocative”. Quite the contrary. Not known for their propensity to protest on the streets, Jews have *been provoked* into countering the mob that takes over our streets weekly. They film themselves partly because you keep arresting them unfairly. Get real.

Of course the BBC had to apologise for its calumny against Israel: it was the very opposite of the truth and accused Israel of targeting those it was protecting. The BBC has an Israel problem.
Labour whistleblowers will take legal action against the party; meanwhile Labour's Shadow Minister for Peace and Disarmament, Fabian Hamilton, met last week with the antisemitic Jordanian MP Yahya Al-Saud, who previously urged Muslims to kill Jews.
Oh look: it’s the guy the BBC won’t commit to dropping from its shows, comparing the killing of Israeli civilians this morning in coordinated terrorist attacks to a sporting competition.
so,

She also read out a perfunctory scripted apology, like a hostage shoved in front of a camera at gunpoint.
It's impossible for there to be a political resolution to the conflict between
#Hamas

Everyone should listen to this 13 year old girl's powerful story of survival and loss. This is just one family's story from the savage and brutal attacks on 7th October in Israel.
It’s time
@SkyNews
actually fires the Holocaust obsessed anchor who they were forced to apologise for with record speed. She was grossly antisemitic, disrespectful and deliberately offensive. I agree with Sky that she was out of line. That’s why she should be booted out now.
The excellent news that Israeli forces heroically rescued two hostages alive in Rafah in Gaza should remind all those condemning Israel’s planned military action there just why it’s essential.
They were being held in the very place Israel is being pressured to leave alone.
15 ex-Labour MPs urge voters NOT to vote Labour in full page press ads. They say Jeremy Corbyn is not fit to be Prime Minister: “everyone wants a safer, fairer society. But in this election the Labour Party is set to deliver the opposite"

It’s hard to understand the idiots on London’s streets protesting against Israel and calling for a ceasefire. A ceasefire was offered, and Hamas turned it down. They should release the hostages now.

How can anyone possibly want to reward the Palestinian savagery of October 7th with a declaration of statehood? Statehood is a responsibility, not a reward for killing Jews. Never has a Palestinian state looked like a worse idea than 2024.
