The Department for International Development (Dfid) said that it no longer supported War on Want, which helped pay for “Israeli Apartheid Week” in February this year. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/04/02/charity-backing-anti-israel-rallies-no-longer-receives-state-funding/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Ridgewalk 101 #6 Posted January 8, 2018 (edited) OMG why is everything so political? Meanwhile innocent people are suffering while everyone squabbles.. What a World we live in..... Not very enlightening observations. The «*world is as it is,*» if only we had magic wands. Platitudes and hand wringing won’t bring «*justice*» to Palestinians or bring Israelis and Palestinians together Edited January 8, 2018 by Ridgewalk ....

Halibut 12 #8 Posted January 10, 2018 But less bombing and shooting of the citizens of the Middle East's only democracy might. Hardly likely while ever Israel rides roughshod over international law, treats Palestinians as second class citizens and violates their human and civil rights on a daily basis. I loathe violence and I loathe war, but even so, I don't blame the Palestinians for fighting. I'd like to think I would if I was in their shoes. To return the the OP - it strikes me as a foolish and cynical response from Israel. The people who suffer as a consequence from this entry ban will be people who were in need of aid presumably.

phil752 10 #9 Posted January 11, 2018 OMG why is everything so political? Meanwhile innocent people are suffering while everyone squabbles.. What a World we live in..... I quite agree Anna, however, I may be shot down in flames, but Israel is mainly a European enclave in the Middle East born on the people that fled the horrific experiences in Germany. That most if not all surrounding nations don't want them there. So what are they to do? look at Irak, Afghanistan, which has fallen into feudalism, are you saying such should overwhelm them?

TyneSoft 10 #11 Posted January 11, 2018 But less bombing and shooting of the citizens of the Middle East's only democracy might. I thought Moderators are supposed to be impartial, Jeffrey? Your previous posts on the Israeli/Arab issue shows you're more inclined to one side rather than none. Disappointed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Halibut 12 #12 Posted January 11, 2018 As quoted in a previous thread the middle east are 500 years behind the rest of the world ! This is woefully ignorant nonsense. ---------- Post added 11-01-2018 at 17:00 ---------- It,s nothing to do with us. Of course it is. It's a very small world and we have longstanding involvement in many parts of the middle east. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
