Excuse my cynicism but it's in a language I don't understand and was posted by an offshoot of Israeli Intellegence.

Btw, I'm no expert but that guy doesn't look Palestinian/Arabic to me tbh. Not saying he's fake he probably isn't, but I don't think he's local to the area.

My bad, it says who he is on the screen

Well I hope the IDF get that anyway.

Yeah but what really sucks is setting policy on thing like this based on votes. Disgusting, and a very very big red cross against the argument for democracy.

Although saying that I do also say that politicians should listen to what voters want so...

Yeah. I noticed the invisible hand of Israeli intelligence.
Just google the media outlet.

They do but don’t do anything about it. The trick to politics is being able to look people in the eye and tell them what they want, not what you’ll do but what they want

This is how Israel treats Anti-Zionist Jews in Jerusalem who wave the Palestinian flag.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

On further consideration of this, I think there's a difference between:

1) listening to what the people want on life or death matters, and
2) making decisions on life or death matters based on how you think it will affect your election results

I think politicians must do 1 and must not do 2.

Is this reasonable?

UPDATE: Senior Labour MP Andy McDonald has now been suspended over the ‘river to the sea’ speech

The decision comes after fast-paced internal discussions on Monday afternoon
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Fair enough
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't think it is.

"With Andy McDonald when he spoke on demo. These are his words exactly "We won"t rest until we have justice, until all people, Israelis and Palestinians, between the river and the sea can live in peaceful liberty." He turned a slogan some are concerned about into a peace plea".

Is calling for peace really worthy of suspension?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Suspension is maybe a tad harsh but you can't really try and reclaim known offensive phrases like that as you open yourself up to accusations of dog whistles.

Obviously it's a more extreme example but if someone used the phrase 'final solution' in a similar manner then they'd rightfully be called a moron.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

We have US congressmen saying there's no such thing as "innocent Palestinian civilians". At this point, I don't really care if the phrase causes offence.

Heard on the radio yesterday that the Gaza strip has the land mass of the Isle of Wight and that the Israelis have dropped more ordinance on Gaza that the Yanks did on Fallujah, what chance does the citizenry have? None, paid for politicians are complicit in these war crimes.

Fallujah is smaller than the Isle of Wight.
