This looks set to escalate.

And 1 side is usually wrong.

Often depends on your viewpoint of course.

But not taking an opposite point of view into consideration often results in a poor outcome. Sometimes merely delaying, not curing an issue.

Is it too much to ask to keep anti-semitism out of this thread?

Quite right

Palestinians are a Semitic people.

I doubt Irann has he guts to risk direct attack, the middle east is full of autocracies that fear internal revolution more than they hate israle.

Criricising zionism and/or Israel is not anti-semitism.
I know you like to claim it is because you want the thread shut down.

If you need help in differentiating between zionism, the Israel government (although there's precious little to choose between those two) and Jews, I'm happy yo oblige.

And underlying this all, is the schism in Islam that is Sunni vs Shia.

Obliterate Israel and Palestine, and that will still remain.

Apart from Yemen, what conflict is there curently between Sunni and Shia?
And Yemen isn't about religion, nor any sect of religion, it's about the military targetting Yemeni civilians.

You are part of the problem with that attitude.

 

[JohnD]

Perhaps @motorbiking can explain why he objects to my criticism of filly.

Iran is the stumbling block. Wipe the ******s out, problem solved.

Is it a call for genocide?

Is it racist?

Is it blatant?

Is it in accord with Zionism?

 

[motorbiking]

I don't care if you object to Filly, because you think he's wrong, or stupid, or a tory etc..

Would you call me a zionist racist if I said we need to destroy Iran's military capability?

If you wrote what filly did, yes, of course.

I note you do not try to defend his racist, hate-filled words.

Do you usually defend racists who call for genocide?

Why do you pretend not to know what antisemitism is?

Would you call for the destruction of Iran's military capability without giving good reason?
I'd at least expect you to present a decent case to the UN.
Individual states do not have the authority to call for another states destruction of military capability.
If so, I'd call it bigotry of some sort.
Iran's military capability has done a lot less harm that US's, UK's or Israel's, etc military capability.
So who's military capability is being misused?

Do you support the actions of the Houthi Rebels in attacking civilian cargo ships? Iran does.
Do you agree with their piracy of the Galaxy Leader ship? Iran does.

If you can support the genocide of Palestinians, I don't see why you'd have a problem with a bit of piracy.

 

[fillyboy]

what conflict is there curently between Sunni and Shia?

Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Pakistan and Yemen. There's probably more.

 

[Roy Bloom]

Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Pakistan and Yemen. There's probably more.

Syria is a civil war about democracy and corruption. It's got bu99er all to do with religious factions.
Conflict in Ieaq was about the invasion of Iraq by western forces. It had bu99er all to do with religious factions, idscounting Christianity and Islam.
Conflict in Pakistan is about Pakistan's cooperation with USA. It's got bu99er all to do with religious factions.
Yemen conflict is about the government controlled military cruel treatment of Yemeni civilians. It's got bu99er all to do with religious factions.



Allow me to remind you of the original post to which you responded:
