  1. Israel-Palestine | Genocide in Gaza

    Not really a friend. Just a person who lives in Gaza with family and managed to get out. As I said this person is not Palestinian by birth or heritage. Has a journalist background. The border issue is something I have heard a lot. I've even checked some of the claims and they do exist...

  2. Israel-Palestine | Genocide in Gaza

    I've obviously never been there so only can go by information provided. However I don't think the bolded is something I've heard from anyone. Many a person has explained how heavily guarded and "hands on" the border always is. This is the case on news, podcasts etc by many people Palestinian...

  3. Israel-Palestine | Genocide in Gaza

    Another interesting thing I was told by the person I mentioned above is the lack of media presence in the conflict. World media that is. According to this person it's not as simple as Israel nor letting in the media, something which we have seen Israel accused of by likes of Morgan and Mehdi...

  4. Israel-Palestine | Genocide in Gaza

    Wasn't Yom Kippur 24th September in 2023? Irregardless the "border" is heavily guarded 24/7. To not have any soldier on any watch post (which are present at certain lengths) , not 1 or or any military presence?

  5. Israel-Palestine | Genocide in Gaza

    Haven't heard from you in a while. Glad you're OK. Was wondering if you could confirm or deny the following, heard f on a source who was in Gaza on the 7th. Not a Palestinian by birth but an "adopted" Palestinian by circumstances. Basically claiming that although Hamas, Al Qassam brigade...

  6. The Rise of the Right Wing In Ireland.

    In simple terms and in my opinion it's social media. Not real news but news that is real for some people. I think the right wing strategists have found the exact right strategy where folk will have a viewpoint but it's articulate compared to racial slurs etc of the past I was reading an...

  7. Israel-Palestine | Genocide in Gaza

    Probably going to get clattered for this as it sort of plays into what some would say are tropes, but I'm going to ask you Moses if the pushback is of people who were always right wing ish? I mean I expect Douglas Murray and Tommy Robinson to push back because we know they get paid by...

  8. Israel-Palestine | Genocide in Gaza

    It's been reported on shows like Morgans that Hamas has hostages. And initially they did have around 300. During the first break/ceasefire all but 50 were released. Hamas have claimed that these hostages left are soldiers so prisoners. Commentators like Mehdi etc have said this is true on...

  9. Israel-Palestine | Genocide in Gaza

    oh for sure The only thing I disagree with you on is the lapdog bit. As in who is whose lapdog. The way it plays out you'd think America was the small nation having its ears rubbed by likes of Netanyahu

  10. Israel-Palestine | Genocide in Gaza

    Yeah I meant trading with the USA rather than anyone dealing with Israel direct. I don't think direct trade or not with Israel affects things. Simply because USA will always bail out Israel. I think the "newer" recent views of some Americans are interesting. They are questioning loyalty...

  11. Israel-Palestine | Genocide in Gaza

    The problem is that when you look at it in its entirety then the problem is the US and parts of Europe, so us in the UK for example. Make no mistake the blood of these dead kids is not just on Israel. The only way this gets resolved is by lack of trade from say Saudi Arabia and the recent deal...

  12. Bruno Fernandes Out? | Staying at Man United

    Oh for sure. I get all that and why I wasn't anti Rooney when he "questioned SAF". I have no problems with players wanting to achieve things and voicing their opinions to club owners/managers. Not going public obviously. The point was that it's only now getting mentioned by Amorim and...

  13. Bruno Fernandes Out? | Staying at Man United

    I've been a UTD fan since the late 70's and sure I wouldn't have put it like the other poster has and I do respect Bruno. But I do think that there is always a point of view that is different from others. For example people have said, in this thread, things like now take his G/A out etc In my...

  14. Bruno Fernandes Out? | Staying at Man United

    Haa anybody noted that Amorim has been saying Bruno wasn't happy but can see what we are trying to do, or words to that effect? He said it again after the Hong Kong match. This doesn't quite tie in with the "I'll stay as long as the club wants me" message from Bruno.

  15. Chido Obi | 2024/25 Performances

    Don't think it works like that. Was listening to a podcast, listen to so many can't remember which one, and they spoke about Modric when he signed for Spurs. In the early games nobody passed to him. The players explained it was because he was always so close to an opposition player. So it...
