Priti Patel: Undisclosed Meetings in Israel

I like the all-cap, but think you should have that in a slightly bigger font. Some of the lines may still be a bit hard to read.
 
How a "friend of Palestine" like maxflinn could've been such a strong supporter of Trump continues to be a massive puzzle.

I'm sure he'll be along soon to deny that he spent several months saying that Hilary would start WW3 as soon as poss, so Trump was the only way to go.

No Paul is attempting irony. He's an avid supporter of Israel and her crimes. He suggests that a number of Israelis and Jews are outraged by the Zionist threat. It would be good of them to speak out, organise protests or maybe wave a banner every now and then. Remarkably quiet these days given the atrocities carried out by their homeland.

It gets worse. Polack is now saying that by chance he was on holiday at the same time. In Israel, that most popular holiday destination. I did not know it had turned into a Costa del Sol for the conservative party. Who'd have thought it....

Israel is indeed a very popular holiday destination. And not just for Jews.

You misconstrue me completely. My "irony" was that many Israelis would be disgusted at having any relationship with the British Labour Party as it is today with its dominant anti-Israeli prejudices. Once upon a time there were very close ties, because of the socialist roots of the State of Israel. But you are probably not interested in anything beyond your narrow vision based on ignorance. "Atrocities" indeed!

It's roughly level pegging as far as Parliament is concerned:

http://www.lfi.org.uk/in-parliament/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labour_Friends_of_Palestine_&_the_Middle_East

Among activists the split is more like 3:1 pro-Palestine (a pure guess based on attendance at some CLP meetings).

It's a shame you think having principled objections to Israel's treatment of the Palestinians amounts to anti-Israel prejudice. That's the kind of thinking that stifles debate.

I counted 80 Labour MPs in "Friends of Israel". I wonder, though; one could be in "Friend's of Israel" and at the same time be critical of certain Israeli government actions. And also not be in "Friends of Israel," and be critical of certain actions by the Palestinians or Arab governments.
 
One can be an elected politician and be critical of the actions of the state of Israel, which most are to some degree on occasion, while doing absolutely nothing about Israel’s crimes; rather, most continue to support Israel despite them.

In short, criticism is bollocks, and does nothing to help Israel’s victims!
 
Slightly off topic, but I see those nice Russians have vetoed any UN inquiry into Syria's use of chemical weapons.
