My condolences, @vinnyt77. Hope you are able to hold on to the happy memories.

My only expertise lies in a “Peace & Conflict in the Middle East” class I took in college two decades ago, and while the teacher was relatively neutral, she was also Arab-American. I remember we were taught that the Israel-Palestine conflict was born from a lot of shady wheeling and dealing by the British after the WWII. Not the same as Indian partition, but definitely parallels.

I’ve found myself siding with the Palestinians over the years, maybe because of the colour of my skin and that I’ve only had positive experiences with Arab culture. The atrocities faced by the Palestinians over the last 50 years also seem to far outweigh what the Jewish people have faced. I still think about the murder of that female journalist from a couple years back.

Also not sure how much I can trust from what I’m seeing on the Internet - not taking away from the tragedy or the sheer horror, but what is obviously a drug filled psy trance party is being branded all over the media as a “peace festival”.

They could probably do with a lend of your bomb-proof clownshoe collection Rhouses.

    Rhouses getting done up like a Yom Kippur.

    Comers space shoes doubling up for homemade Hamas style rocket missiles, causing mass devastation only to his reputation.

    Dublin, we have lift off……

    rhouses try not to get too involved in this conflict,

    You’re not doing a very good fucking job of that are you ? SHUT UP, RHOUSES.

      😆 imagine those latest New Balance would cause some real damage. Probably cause a few to surrender.

        The material covering the area underneath the toes would be the only genuine safe haven for miles, during a mortar attack.

        I think we should merge this thread with the WW3 one as it’s not going to end well at this rate unfortunately

        It’s all good.

        They’re just trying to sell weapons

          Nope, still doesn’t make sense.

            The Conservative party are behind it to distract from the Labour conference being held in the UK equivalent of the Gaza Strip, Liverpool.

              I have always thought I’d like to see Smallman ended by a relentless bout of explosive dysentry that tore his insides apart, but now I am leaning to a preference for mortar attack.

              Forgot you how much you loved Liverpool Dave!

              Free Merseyside!
