General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Roger Wade, former CEO of Boxfresh, was banned from attending Brighton & Hove Albion matches after wearing a Palestine #football top.

Wade, who's held a season ticket for nearly a decade, explained that he was escorted out of the stadium without explanation. The club later issued a ban letter.

IT WAS NEVER ABOUT #TERRORISM.

It it about wiping off #Palestine off the map of the earth.

@sirico

It is really because they want to "kill" Palestine.

For years they spread the lies about Iranian stupid former president saying that Israel will be wiped off the map of the earth and now they are literally doing it to Palestine with the help of their supporters in UK, US, Germany and so many other places.

This can't be just over a football jersey.

Not defending Israel or the UK or denying Plastine genoice, but Iran's president really wanted Israel wiped off the map and really meant it. Iran and Israel are both at the wrong here.

And Hamas had the same clause in its charter until recent years, too. At any one time in that conflict there is a bad guy (and you may well believe with reason that it's always been the same party) but black-and-white thinking - that this means we should minimise, ignore or even defend the other party's inexcusable words and actions - won't get us anywhere.

@FishFace @bobo1900

as far as I can see it is only Israel that is wiping anyone off the map.

and has been doing it for 75 years.

whilst accusing others of doing so.

It's accused others, accurately, of trying to do so. What part of the stated goals of Iran and Hamas being wiping out the Jews in Israel is hard for you to condemn? Do you find it difficult to say "this is bad but that is worse"?

@FishFace

Ask yourself how you ended up here

  1. Spreading lies

  2. Making excuses for a genocidal terrorist war criminal apartheid regime

Even if you don't examine yourself - that's ok. Millions of people around the world are increasingly seeing Israel for the disgusting monster it is, and always was. They can see through the lies and propaganda.

You're on the wrong side of history.

Spreading lies

You've accused me of lying without even saying what you disagree with.

Making excuses for a genocidal terrorist war criminal apartheid regime

I have never excused Israel once for committing war crimes, and if you properly read what I'm saying you would see that, because I am not circumspect.

You seem by all accounts incapable of understanding that there can be two parties doing things wrong in a conflict, even if you end up condemning one far more.

I have no interest in continuing to talk to someone like that.
