  1. I need someone for a few hours a week to help with removals and deliveries on a van. It's usually quite easy but sometimes can be physically demanding so would need to be reasonably fit and strong. The hours vary greatly but probably averages about eight hours a week roughly. You would need to live within three miles of walkley as I would pick you up and drop you home. Must be over 21 years old.

  2. Nobodies talking about the bogeyman, we are talking about islamists who are jolly keen on killing us. You can pretend they don't exist if you like but then you are not charged with defending against them.

     

    Would that be the Islamists that America created when they funded Bin Laden's Mujahadeen in Afghanistan, or the ones we created by invading Iraq, or is it the ones which are growing in strength in Libya, thanks to our military intervention there? So what is the proposed solution? Get involved in another Arab war because fourth time lucky?? Absolute genius.

  3. "Donkey" you may be "Propagandised" yourself if you think the UK is an agressive, warlike nation. Go back to the Romans, the Normans, the Spanish, the Dutch, the French and the Germans to see a list of countries who tried to invade the country and attacked. The UK has a military like it does to protect against this and to protect its people, overseas trade and interests.

    If the UK did not have that over the centuries, you might not be so fluent in the English language!

     

    You are right, I wouldn't, I'd be speaking the native Gaelic of my ancestors, so thanks for emphasising the point.

  4. People in England are propagandised to an alarming degree, having been brought up with the Orwellian doublespeak of calling agression 'defence' and militarism 'security.' consequently, most people are in denial that the Uk is an agressive and warlike countr4y, both historically and in the present day.

     

    If not then how come there are so many other countries in the developed world that have managed to stay much more secure than we are without getting involved in endless military expeditions?

     

     

    Corbyn is painted as an extremist on defence, but a quick look around Europe shows his approach is quite normal when compared with the policies of most other countries.

  5. The tories are engaged in open class war with their dual approach of penalising the poor merely for being poor and rewarding the rich merely for being rich. Corbyn is the only Labour candidate who is willing to truly oppose them and reverse their excesses.

     

    Of course the mainstream media - owned by just the types who benefit mostly from tory policy - is going to try and scare everyone by repeating the mantra 'Corbyn will make Labour unelectable" ad-nauseam. Don't believe it for a second. The numbers of people expressing their supportfor him speaks for itself.

     

    What many of the anti-Corbyn faction are really afraid of is that real change would mean they will have to contribute something to society, instead of just taking all the time. That goes for the new labour/tory lite carreer politicians who will adopt any position they think might get them in power, where they can get their snouts in the feeding trough.

  6. Atheism ..

     

    The belief there was once absolutely nothing and nothing happened to the nothing until the nothing magically exploded (for no reason) creating everything and everywhere. Then a bunch of the exploded everything magically rearranged itself (for no reason whatsoever), into self-replicating bits which then turned in to dinosaurs .. and they mock your beliefs !!

     

    So if things can't just appear, how did God appear? Just because people don't believe what you believe doesn't mean they think their isn't an explaination for the universe. But some people have the basic intelligence to realise that we don't know what the explaination is.

  7. You have an addictive personality many do, with various different addictions.

    To me you sound like you need excitement and an adrenaline rush to remind you THAT YOU are alive. Your cravings are for the adrenaline rush. You need to talk it over with someone who has been seen what you are going through. Not someone that has read a few books to gain a qualification to deal with situations as you have.

     

    The only person qualified to talk to you is the person that has been in the same position as you, and not just simply read a book at university and think they can help.

     

    Its like an non alcoholic giving advice how to stop drinking, Etc.

    Would a drug addict take advice from a person that has never taken drugs, The same with booz, shoplifting , self harming etc. Just because they went to university does not mean they understand. The only person to listen to is an EX Addict.

     

    Can you put that in English: confused: ? ?!?

    Let me help you hypothetically:

     

    Your mom was a woman of the night, who better to help her than an experienced woman of the night just like your mom. Or trust in the help of someone that just read about it on the internet?

     

    Its your mom not mine I don't care what you do!.

     

    Yes, he would obviously benefit from some mentoring from a wise individual educated in the school of life. One who is able to demonstrate their wisdom and mental equilibrium by telling other posters their mothers are prostitutes when challenged, perhaps.

  8. How did Palestinians end up with the land before it was Israel? Indeed, how did "Palestine" come to be in the first place, because it had to come from somewhere? I think you'll find it was through one group of people taking the land from another group. The same way Israel did it. Surely what's good for the goose is also good for the gander?

     

    I appreciate your honesty in stating in a straightforeward manner that you support an ethnic war and land grab against the Palestinians. A breath of fresh air from the mealy mouthed hypocrisy of those who interminably pretend the Zionists are defending themselves while they conduct a ruthless ethnic race war.

     

    And it is funny the way many European extreme right wingers now support Israel because they hate Muslims more than Jews these days, when in the relatively recent past they wanted to murder all Jews. What is even weirder is the way that the extremist Zionists are quite happy to accept the support of the people who tried to wipe their own kith and kin from the face of the Earth not seventy years ago. Racial supremacists are an odd bunch.

  9. It was most definitely the consequence of Hamas attacking Israel, using civilians to shield their rocket launch site, killing civilians with their unguided rockets, executing their own civilians, and their desire to destroy Israel.

     

    It is Israel which is systematically destroying Palestine, by driving the Palestinians from their land. Israeli settlers are quite up front about it. They use the bible as if it is some kind of legal document equivalent to the deeds of a large tract of the middle east.

     

    It would be easy to dissmiss them as just an insignificant bunch of fruit loops, were it not for the fact that the Israeli military clears the Palestinians from the land, guards the settlements, and engages in large scale retaliations against Palestinian civilians as a collective punishment for the actions of the militant groups which would inevitably spring up in any society subjected to such treatment.

     

    Then we have the likes of you, telling us that no, it is the Palestinians who are attacking Israel. It is the Israelis who are the victims. Black is white. Up is down.

    That doesn't support your stance, its just states that Israel is building settlement on disputed territory.

     

    Disputed territory? Disputed in the sense that the people who are stealing it say it is their's now, because of the bible.

  10. Israel aren't driving Palestinians into refugee camps so they can steal their land and build Israeli settlements.

     

    YES THEY ARE

    https://www.btselem.org/download/200205_land_grab_eng.pdf

    The report in this second link has been compiled by Israelis. Probably Hamas supporting antisemites.

    http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/04/14/us-palestinian-israel-settlement-idUSBREA3C0KK20140414

     

    There are pages and pages of stuff on google relating to Israel forcibly displacing Palestinians from the West bank to take their land. You should try reading a bit more.

  11. How would you describe the Hamas rocket attacks? don't tell me - "heroic" :roll:

     

    Are you insinuating I am an antisemitic terrorist supporter to portray me as some kind of monster so you can negate what I'm saying without discussing it in a reasoned way? Wouldn't be the first time it has happened on this thread.

     

    Hamas haven't killed, maimed, orphaned and made homeless tens of thousands of Israeli civilians in the last few weeks alone. Hamas aren't driving Israelis into refugee camps so they can steal their land and build Palestinian settlements. If Hamas ever start practicing barbarism on the same industrial scale which the Israeli state does, you can be sure I will condemn it in equally strong terms.

  12. No, they give aid to the people whilst attacking terrorists that are firing rockets at them, you just want everyone to think they are attacking civilians when in fact they are attacking rocket launch sites and terrorist infrastructure.

     

    I think it is the thousands of civilians they've slaughtered and maimed that has got people thinking they are attacking civilians. What about those four kids they blew up while playing football on the beach? No rocket launcher there. Or the direct hit on the UN shelter? To name but a couple of the many atrocities the Israeli military has committed in the past few weeks alone against the civilian population of Gaza in a tactic that is commonly known as 'collective punishment, and banned under the Geneva Convention.

  13. Haven't you and your aliasses realised by now that you've already lost?

     

    What do you mean 'your aliasses'?

     

    ---------- Post added 30-08-2014 at 16:39 ----------

     

    Israel have the means to destroy Gaza but they choose to give them aid instead, Gaza and BDS don't have the means to destroy Israel but they will keep trying and will accept ISIS with open arms.

     

    Flattening Gaza and killing and maiming thousands of people and making refugees of thousands more is 'giving aid'??? Black is white, up is down.

  14. The problem is that they have taken it off the shelves for the wrong reason.

     

    Sainsbury's strips kosher food from its shelves over fear of attacks by anti-Israeli protesters.

     

    They have simply succumbed to terrorism but they haven't agreed with you.

     

    Some of the goods removed were from Britain and Poland, not just Israel

     

    So BDS as proven to be an anti Jewish protest movement,

     

    So protesting outside a supermarket is 'terrorism' but killing 500 children and wounding and orphaning thousands more in indiscriminate bombing is 'defending yourself.'

  15. Denial of the terrorist atrocities that Israel is fighting, straight out of the terrorist handbook, you don't condemn that which you support.

     

    The ultimate goal of the BDS movement is the end of the State of Israel.

     

    He is absolutely right. I don't even think you believe the things you are saying. And why not play the old 'antisemites' card again while you are at it. It must be afew posts now since anyone has done that.

  16. One look at some of the posts on this thread and it is hardly suprising the Yes vote goes up in the polls everytime an English poltician opens his mouth. If I was Scottish and had been reading this, never mind splitting up the union, I'd want to rebuild Hadrian's Wall.

     

    "Oh, the old Scotties will never be able to make it without our help" Typical of the smug, supierior and patronising discourse towards all things not English, which is so common and everyday in this country, that people don't even know they are doing it.

     

    It won't be the Scottish who get the shock if the union breaks up, and the UKIPers get their way and leave the EU, at which point England will find it doesn't really have a special relationship with the US (unless you call bending over and passing the vaseline a 'special relationship') but is just a small country that has an ever decreasing circle of friends in the world due to arrogance and delusions of grandeur stemming from once having had an empire.

     

    All the same, if it makes those people in this country who go round feeling so bloody superior all the time come down a peg or two, it will all have been worth it.

  17. Belgian activist group took to Liege airport to condemn airport authorities for supplying arms to #Israel. #Gaza

    40 Holocaust Survivors Condemn Gaza Assault Call for Boycott of

    Israel

     

    In a letter published today in The New York Times as an advertisement, 40 survivors of Nazi genocide and hundreds of their children are publicly deploring "the massacre of Palestinians in Gaza," Israel's ongoing occupation and the troubling rise of systemic racism.

     

    As Jewish survivors and descendants of survivors and victims of the Nazi genocide we unequivocally condemn the massacre of Palestinians in Gaza and the ongoing occupation and colonization of historic Palestine. We further condemn the United States for providing Israel with the funding to carry out the attack, and Western states more generally for using their diplomatic muscle to protect Israel from condemnation. Genocide begins with the silence of the world.

    We are alarmed by the extreme, racist dehumanization of Palestinians in Israeli society, which has reached a fever-pitch. In Israel, politicians and pundits in The Times of Israel and The Jerusalem Post have called openly for genocide of Palestinians and right-wing Israelis are adopting Neo-Nazi insignia.

     

    Furthermore, we are disgusted and outraged by Elie Wiesel’s abuse of our history in these pages to justify the unjustifiable: Israel’s wholesale effort to destroy Gaza and the murder of more than 2,000 Palestinians, including many hundreds of children. Nothing can justify bombing UN shelters, homes, hospitals and universities. Nothing can justify depriving people of electricity and water.

     

    We must raise our voices and use our collective power to bring about an end to all forms of racism, including the ongoing genocide of Palestinian people. We call for an immediate end to the siege against and blockade of Gaza. We call for the full economic, cultural and academic boycott of Israel. “Never again” must mean NEVER AGAIN FOR ANYONE!

     

    http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/08/23/1324061/-40-Holocaust-Survivors-Condemn-Gaza-Assault-Call-for-Boycott-of-Israel

     

     

    Being that anyone whose view differs from the Zionist propagandists is apparently an antisemite, these must surely be antisemitic holocaust surviviors, no?

  18. How many Israelis live in houses and on land that was once owned by someone living in Gaza?

     

    https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/UN/unrwa6.html

     

    Almost all of them.

     

    There are One million one hundred thousand Palestinian refugees in Gaza according to this UN report published on the website 'Jewish Virtual Library' (antisemites perhaps?). It seems likely the number of them who have been displaced from the West Bank would number in the hundreds of thousands.

     

    ---------- Post added 27-08-2014 at 12:44 ----------

     

    perhaps you would care to explain why Arab Israelis privately own more land than Jewish Israelis do? Even though they are less than 25% of the population?

     

    The vast majority of West Bank Palestinians do not have Israeli citizenship, and therefore are not protected under Israeli law. A deliberate red herring.

     

    ---------- Post added 27-08-2014 at 12:45 ----------

     

    And whilst we're at it what do you think islamists are currently doing in just about every country throughout the world?

     

    So your argument is two wrongs make a right?

  19. you could argue that Israel is actually upholding 'international law' by continuing to administer the territories they gained in 1967 under UNSCR 242. It is amazing how people like the BBC's Middle East editor Jeremy Bowen keep on saying that the settlements are 'illegal', without bothering to inform the audience, just how they are illegal.

     

    http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/01/world/middleeast/un-panel-says-israeli-settlement-policy-violates-law.html

     

    No doubt the UN and the people who drew up the Geneva Convention are all a bunch of antisemites too?

     

    It is just a shame that there are so many people out there who need legal rulings to demonstrate to them that driving families and communities into refugee camps so you can take their land is just wrong

  20. Are they? And here's me thinking it's the spoils of war since Egypt, Jordan and Syria ganged up on Israel for the 6 Day war and Yom Kippur wars

     

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six-Day_War

     

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yom_Kippur_War

     

     

    So they defeated Jordan, Syria and Egypt in wars more than 40 years ago and therefore they are entitled to drive Palestinians from their land in Palestine now?

     

    Why don't you try rocking up at a nice little farm in Bavaria with a bulldozer and tell them you are leveling their house and taking their land for a British settlement and they will have to go and live in a refugee camp because it is 'the spoils of war'. See what the legal position is. Dooooooh!

  21. antisemites like you always want to point to what they think of as being the 'good' Jews, who oppose Israel. Which is why the oaf George Galloway wheels out Neuteri Karta at his public meetings. They are like the 'house blacks' that used to work in the house and not in the fields, as slaves in the United States, when slavery was still legal.

     

    it is all fantasy. In reality 90% plus of Jewish people worldwide, like the idea of a Jewish national home in the Middle East.

     

    and try as you might, you will never be able to say which precise 'international law' you claim Israel is in contravention of, re the settlements. You are obviously not familiar with, or have invented a different take on that everyone else did, about UNSCR 242.

     

    Such vitriol. You really can't stand people having a different opinion to you, can you? That is because your position can't be defended with logic and reason, so all you have is insults, hysterical accusations and bile.

     

    All I've done is voiced my opposition to the slaughter of nearly 2,000 civilians by Israel - in the past few weeks alone - and debunked the myth that Israel is merely 'defending' itself by pointing out that, as we speak, the Israeli armed forces are complicit in a campaign to drive Palestinians from their land in an ongoing campaign of colonisation in the West Bank.

     

    It is an inconvenient fact, but when you are engaged in a campaign of forced dis-placement and colonisation, you are engaged in aggression, which is different from 'defending' yourself.

     

    Pointing these facts out does not make me an 'antisemite' and the fact that you think it does only shows you are unable to debate this issue in a rational way.
