I also found it hilarious how they allow themselves to openly bash a person for standing against the delegitimization of Israel, as if saying so is an untold crime.
I'm just bashing him. Not his message.
I wonder how much $ he was paid ....
this is utter foolishness
you equate those who disagree with israeli government actions with those who advocate the destruction of israel
this is utter foolishness
you equate those who disagree with israeli government actions with those who advocate the destruction of israel
And you admit to bashing the person no matter what the statement he makes (that the thread is about) is.
:shrug:
It would be my dearest wish to see that tosser locked up in jail for his crimes but no. He gets to prance around knowing he has caused many deaths by his decisions and actions and continue pretending to give a **** about other people.
I know my reaction would have been different if the title didn't include Blair. What can I say, I'm judgemental.
There is no rules that is applied to Israel that Europeans "would never dream of applying to their own governments or their own countries.”
I beg to differ.
I am on topic.
The OP main is Blair. I'm discussing Blair no?
There is no rules that is applied to Israel that Europeans "would never dream of applying to their own governments or their own countries.”
Must suck for Israel to be held to the same standard. Israel should not and does not get no free passes for just being a democratic country. No more than Germany or Sweden anyway.
Blair is blowing hot air out for his a willing audience that most likely paid him a bundle to keep alive the idea that Europe is anti-semitic. He does not even give an example, which shows how moronic his comments are.
Face it, there are some Europeans out there who aren't bent on Israel's destruction.
Sure.
As there are some Americans, Asians, Africans .... :shrug:
And I think you couldn't be more wrong.
If thousands of rockets will start falling in London, the British army would indeed go to war, let alone place a blockade.
And that is only one out of thousands of examples I can think of right now.
This thread sure is predictable. Blair is quoted as criticizing those whose agenda it is to delegitimize Israel, and reacting just like Pavlov's pup, all those who share this same hateful agenda are yapping away attacking him.
Once more, pathetic, the OP is about Blair's statement against the delegitimization of Israel, against the destruction of Israel, so certainly yes - folks who stand against this statement stand for the deligitimization of Israel.
“It’s not about an overt denial of Israel’s right to exist,“ Blair said. “It’s an application of prejudice in not acknowledging that Israel has a legitimate point of view.”
And a bad example at that.
Gaza has always been under restrictions on what can go in and when, restrictions put in place by Israel. Gaza did not have any control over its own border what so ever even after Israel left. Israel has always had the final say on what can and can not go over the border between Israel and Gaza but also Gaza and Egypt. This was before the blockade.
Also if thousands of rockets started to fall on London unprovoked, then you betcha there would be retaliation.. but to have this example even close to what is happening in Israel/Gaza, the UK would have to invade parts of France and occupy an area. Then they would have to impose travel restrictions for all Frenchmen only, plus a bunch of other restriction, and slowly take land from the French while transplanting Brits over the channel into new settlements.
In no point did he say that "Europe is anti-semitic", this is merely your usual propaganda at work.
Blair said that “a consistent conversation I have with some, but by no means all, of my European colleagues, is to argue not to apply rules to the government of Israel that they would never dream of applying to their own governments or their own countries.”
Face it, there are some Europeans out there who aren't bent on Israel's destruction.
In the case of thousands of rockets falling in London, modern London, the one you've probably got to visit once or more - the British army would go to an all out war with the responsible party.
No that is exactly what he said.. not directly but it is heavily implied in the following words
He clearly states that European governments set a higher standard when it comes to Israel than when it comes to their own country. That means European governments attack Israel for things that they do as well, and considering the mantra from Israel is that Europe is turning more and more anti-semtic then what other conclusion can one make from that above mentioned comment?
Yea like a huge majority, including most if not all Europeans on this boards.
One possible conclusion would be that some European governments are biased and hold an agenda against Israel.
That was during the occupation of Gaza, yes, but what we're speaking about here is the blockade itself and in that case your argument couldn't be more poorly made.
In practice EU BAM is only allowed to open the Rafah Crossing with permission of Israel, who controls EU BAM's border passage through its Liaison Office at Kerem Shalom.
In the case of thousands of rockets falling in London, modern London, the one you've probably got to visit once or more - the British army would go to an all out war with the responsible party.
Besides that I didn't say France. :lol:
Propaganda. He didn't say it and he didn't imply it, unless you point out clear evidence where he refers to anti-Semitism simply admit you engage in propaganda.
Torn-off, senseless and illogical reasoning, you have exposed yourself at the peak of your grace.
In no point can one simply draw the assumption from his words that he refers to anti-Semitism.
One possible conclusion would be that some European governments are biased and hold an agenda against Israel.
I'd like to think so but I'm getting a different picture.
And as Gardner has proven and many on these boards, anyone holding an agenda against Israel or critical against Israeli policy.. are by definition anti-semtic.
Show me one quote where a European (one that is not a bot and posts regularly) is advocating the destruction of Israel.. Your picture is distorted by your own hatred towards anyone who dares question the policies of Israel.
No you did not, but that would be the correct comparison.. could have used Ireland as well. Yes the British Army would go all out to punish the parties involved, but comparing the UK today to Israel is idiotic on so many levels.
Just like your claim about Blair earlier, this claim is also absolutely wrong.
If anything you draw the anti-anti-Semitic card on every goddamned opportunity.
I hold no hatred towards those who hate my country and want to see it destroyed, I only have my pity to show to them for their miserable hate-filled lives.
And your "anyone who dares question the policies of Israel" is clearly not the same "opposing Israel over every front" attitude that we get to see around here, it's merely how you choose to see it.
