I would suggest removing "leftist" from "loons". The Islamic hard core states, like Afghanistan, are anything but liberal or leftist. ISIS, Hamas, etc are all hard core authoritarian rulers much closer to Orban, Trump, Putin than any liberal belief of any sort

 

There is some truth to that.

 

Which makes you wonder why leftist loons like Corbyn consider Hamas to be his friends. The two groups are certainly curious bedfellows, but bedfellows nonetheless. Perhaps it is their hatred of Jews that unites them? Or perhaps the left support intolerance in the name of diversity?

Plenty of people (possibly most) have an issue with what Israel is doing in Gaza.  There is no need to hate Jews to feel this way.

 

Not all people who object to Israel's response are anti-semites.

 

But all anti-semites object to Israel's response. 

 

The world's oldest hatred takes very little watering for the seeds to sprout strong. Let's not pretend this anti Jewish sentiment started after October 7 2023.

Let's cut to the chase, it's mainly Muslims and the extreme left behind the "anti-Israel" (i.e. anti-semite) movement.

I wonder how they would feel if they had been sleeping in a residential building that got blown up by the israelis.

 

They probably wouldn't feel anything, as they would have been slaughtered along with the rest of the thousands of Palestinians blown up by American bombs dropped from American planes by israeli pilots.

 

In response to October 7.

 

If Hamas invaded NZ and killed/raped NZ hundreds/thousands kids at an Auckland music festival, would you object to your military reacting with force?

 

Or do you only object when Jews do it?

This bike forum used to very good and very active. Lots of big bike riders, bike reviews, trip reports, banter etc.

 

I think what happened was that a lot of the active posters left Thailand, one or two passed away, others got tired of hearing the "you must be mad to ride in Thailand" comments from non riders and some had issues with a particularly over zealous individual with 'the button'.  

 

So now we have what is left. Generally infrequent, boring talk about whether to buy a Click or a Wave.

Two-tier policing in London now clearly in evidence, a reminder that the London Met police report to mayor Khan. 

 

Indeed. To anyone who knows anything about Khan's background and nature, it is of little surprise that the Met Police are allowing Pro Palestine/Anti Israel marches while threatening to arrest Jews and Patriots.

No surprise.

 

Universities are full of these types of leftist loons, trying to corrupt young, impressionable students. I wonder if these "places of learning" should start carrying health warnings.

I wonder how these students would feel had they attended the music festival on October 7th?

 

They probably wouldn't feel anything, as they would have been slaughtered along with the Israeli youngsters.

They should have called for Jihad and the elimination of Israel. The police would have cheered them on.

 

Like the Jewish guy, it seems these guys were being "openly white" and "openly English".

Silly kids.

 

Influenced by their extremist left wing lecturers no doubt. Pro-Palestine/Anti-Israel/Anti-Zionist have become euphemisms for anti-semitism. It's plain for all the see. The "anti-racist" leftists are once again proving themselves to be what they claim you are.

Showing your ignorance of London yet again.

 

London is ranked 8th on a list of 31 major cities worldwide for safety. The crime rate per person in London is below the average for England as a whole. 

 

If crime is rampant in London then many parts of England and other major world cities must be lawless.

 

I lived in London for 3 years. Saw plenty of crime first hand including a stabbing. So I know a little bit about it. It was much safer back then though...

 

There are safe parts and dangerous parts. Like I said, the Libs tend to live in the safe parts and pontificate about their virtue. They wouldn't be seen dead (or maybe they would!) in the crime hotspots like Southwark where knife crime is rampant. They're safely tucked away in their trendy postcode. Of course, once you average all the boroughs out the stats look OK, but you know stats can be manipulated to prove almost anything. London is a dangerous place, but I guess you don't go further than your chum's champagne tasting party in Islington...

Obviously, you haven't looked at recent polls.

Anyway, it would be the same if the property were called Biden or Obama. Whatever the name, It's not in the interest of sellers that the name of the building may displease around 50% of potential buyers.

I guess that when they bought it, Trump wasn't a politician.

 

Even if he wasn't a politician, he was a well known divisive figure.

 

It would be like buying "Markle Towers" or "Rogan Towers" in 2024. If you don't like the name or the person, don't buy. Don't use it as proof of your Woke, Progressive credentials 10 years later...

 

Maybe people like the name and bought it because of that? Why should they be punished?

 

Reminds me of people moving into a house next to a pub, then trying to shut it down because you don't like the noise at closing time.
