Is Israel, a tiny apartheid state, screwing up the World… discuss 
Could this not go in one of your 28,000 other “Why Israel is a nightmare” threads, John old bean? 
The thread title is very misleading.
Also why not in Politics instead of “General Discussion”?
Asking for a friend.

What, and have the start of WW 3 buried in with daily chitchat? You’ll look back on these threads nostalgically when you’re sitting in the Anderson shelter at the bottom of your garden Chris
Bluntly, in the meantime I’d like to avoid accidentally reading them if possible.
I have to agree with Chris, there seems to have been at least one new thread on essentially the same thing every day this week.

The creation of Israel, the Partition of India and handing back Vietnam etc to France after WW2. Anyone with a working brain cell could see all those were going to end badly.
Britain really should have just taken Her ball home and let the new kids figure it out from 1946 onwards.

Moved/retitled.
Sorry John - much as I would happily debate this with you if I had infinite time (though we’d probably end up violently agreeing**), politics is not everyone’s cup of tea and we’ve had multiple requests in the past to keep in it one place so people can mute it if they wish.
**: Or violently disagreeing over minutiae - but that’s Internet debates for you

We appreciate your pearls, Sir John, we’d just like them filed under P for Politics (or Pearls).

I thought it was only old men who shouted at clouds. I found him almost incomprehensible. If that is Owen Jones (I’d heard of him, but I can’t remember in what context) then I don’t find him a great communicator.

Schtum? Yiddish?
Remember Blair, who was described as “Bush’s Poodle!” The big leading the small. Well, it seems the rolls have been reversed. Gump is now NetanBoo Boo’s Poodle!”

Yes, I have great respect for the Jewish people Great minds, great food and great words. It’s the warmongering right wingers in Israel that I despise.

Thank you John, I really want to remember the quiet Hitler 2.0 behind all this. Netanyahu is an absolute bastard with design over taking over other countries.

Apparently I am jewish by linage, but I am not, I am not religious and very anti religion.
The first time I knew about my jewish lineage was when a teacher at skool called me ‘you dirty little Jew boy”.
How would he even know?
