Israel under attack

Apparently, Rachel Riley might be in a spot of bother. She has been accused of jumping the gun, by initially blaming the Sydney attack on an Islamist, but is now claiming that her tweet was "misunderstood". This is the tweet in question. Judge for yourselves:

Our culture is under threat from our own.

No, your culture is under threat from ukrainians and jews. It's no longer possible to make fish n chips because those people caused the potatoes to shrink and becoming damp. Also, there is very little supply, but expensive.

She is lovely. And a very intelligent young lady.
She just needs to control her fingers.

She incorrectly claims people have been calling for an uprising.

In fact, people have been calling for an end to Israel's invasion, occupation, racism, apartheid and genocide.

You need to do more research!

Palestine’​

In AD 135, following a failed Jewish revolt, Roman Emperor Hadrian expelled the Jews from Jerusalem and decreed that the city and surrounding territory be part of a larger entity called “Syria-Palestina.” “Palestina” took its name from the coastal territory of the ancient Philistines, enemies of the Israelites (ancestors of the Jews).

The history of ‘Israel’ and ‘Palestine’: Alternative names, competing claims

This history of Israel and Palestine is complicated. One land, two names. Those on each side claim the land as theirs, under their chosen name.

theconversation.com

There is what seems a fairly, well-balanced series on PBS at around 5pm, and available to stream, which covers the issues in Palestine, since around 1900.

It's possible to go back way before that starting here and using the links

Palestine - Wikipedia

In the late bronze age Philistines figure. Interesting to note what that word means now. They must have been a terrible lot.

The first few paragraphs of the link point out a major problem with the area - religion how ever when the Mandate period arrive things in the dedicated wiki section on that don't entirely tie in with Jewish movement mentioned due to controls.

Early history but may well lead to other links

If there isn't an exact science, how can there possibly be and exact History

History isn't a science, as such there are no absolute truths.
Every one can have their own version.

I asked a bunch of Palestinian demonstraters why they where not protesting against Hamas attack on October 7.

One young girl then goes off about the history the past 3 millions years.

"I can't say your wrong "
I said
"Was you there?"

I find it very hard to sling around facts based on loose history writen by many an historian who would now be called fiction writers.

Its subliminal paranoia.
Subconscious anxiety about Muslims.
I remember years ago in London, i was watching the news with a Scottish mate, a breaking story was about a plumber finding body parts in a drain in Muswell hill i think.
My mate shouted "its the IRA, its the IRA", how he came to the conclusion that the IRA were behind body parts in a drain, i don't know.
Turned out the body parts were from the victims of Denis Neilson.
