He is the most dangerous politician in Europe at the moment. Thankfully the British public won't vote for an anti semite, unlike the Palestinians.

My point still stands. It must be quite hard to be forward thinking when you’re basically trying to survive from one day to the next. i don’t agree with any homophobia - I’m saying it’s probably not high on their agenda to rectify currently.

You don’t believe in the state of Palestine yet you claim that the state of Palestine criminalises homosexuality. So is it a state or not? And as for one of the ‘few’ places in the world? You are kidding aren’t you? I take it that you have never heard of Russia? Or Egypt, or Singapore, Algeria, Saudi Arabia, The UAE, Pakistan, Quatar, Iran, Libya, Zimbabwe, Afghanistan, Morocco, Tunisia, Gambia, Liberia, Niger, Senegal, Kenya, Cameroon, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Mauritius, Mozambique, Zambia, Antigua, Barbados, Grenada, Jamaica, St Lucia, Guyana, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Syria, Yemen, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Brunei, Malaysia, Burma, Chechnya, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, need I go on? 🙄 Get off facebook and start reading some books!

First of all, I have never said Palestine is a state or not, but I acknowledge the dispute over that hence the quotation marks around the word state. You cite about 40 countries there, so out of a world of hundreds of countries, the use of the word "few" is valid I think. When all said and done, the Palestinian authority, lets call it that, criminally punishes gay people, there is no escaping that.

They are 40 states/authorities out of hundreds. I'm talking about states not people, god you're hard work! What's your point anyway? that other states criminalise homosexuality so why shouldn't Palestine??

Leaving alone for a minute the fact that Palestine is not and never has been a state, shouldn't our council be concentrating of more Sheffield stuff than this? Should a local council ever get involved with international politics? All seems very odd. https://www.thestar.co.uk/news/politics/sheffield-council-wants-to-be-first-to-recognise-palestine-as-a-state-419511 I see Julie Pearn, of Labour Friends of Palestine was one of those that signed a letter to the Labour NEC asking them to 'resist calls to adopt all eleven examples accompanying the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of antisemitism into the party’s code of conduct on antisemitism'. I personally don't care if they want to recognise Palestine as a state as long as it has some sort of benefit aside from making the anti Israel crew feel better about themselves.
