LONDON (WAFA) 19 Sept -- A BBC poll, jointly conducted with GlobeScan and surveying residents of 19 countries, Monday showed that 49% of the respondents supported the Palestinian bid to gain full United Nations membership of a Palestinian state based on 1967 borders, while 21% said their government should oppose it ... The BBC said that the participants’ support for the Palestinian bid was strongest in Egypt, where 90% were in favor and only 9% opposed; however, the lowest level of support was in India, with 32% in favor, 25% opposed and many undecided ... The Chinese were among the most enthusiastic supporters, with 56% in favor and just 9% opposed. US and the Philippines both had 36% against the resolution, but 45% of Americans and 56% of Filipinos backed recognition, said the BBC....

TGIA, this comment is the most troubling you have ever made since I began reading you in 2007. Please reflect on how your comment might sound to 1.2 billion people.
ReplyDeleteYou are far, far better than Jemmy.
<span>That was for you, anan. That's the result of your efforts over here. Otherwise I have nothing against Indians.</span>
ReplyDeleteWhat did the Palestinians do to those Indians who refuse them the right to self-determine as this poll is suggesting?
ReplyDelete<span>Now that you got the message which was expressly addressed to you, I'll remove my comment because it has never been my intention to insult those have positively responded to the Palestinian bid. As to the others, well, no need to repeat.

ReplyDelete90 per cent of the weasel politicians do not.
Maybe those politicians do not represent their consituency after all.
ReplyDeleteThank you TGIA. I thought you would do the right thing and you have.
ReplyDeleteFirst the Palestinians need to be rich and then pay for a multibillion dollar decadal lobbying program. Then international opinon will decisively shift there way. Please don't blame others for not knowing about Israel and Palestine.

If there is one country that should be blamed it is Britain. Britain encouraged widespread immigration into Palestine and facilitated different Palestinians [immigrants, Arabs, Christians, Jews] fighting each other. Then the British partitioned Palestine, caused a big war and left. Is it possible part of the reason for the continued tension since 1948 is because some British are inciting the parties to fight each other?
Britain also issued property deads and property rights to mutliple people for the same property. [i.e. multiple people have property claims to the same house and same land.] Britain has refused to provide legal documentation and arbritrate property disputes in Palestine and Israel.
Here is an idea. Britain borrrows 1 trillion pounds in a debt issue and gives the money to Palestine. In return the Palestinians and Israelis forgive Britain forever for all its previous misdeads.
TGIA, ask Jemmy if he supports Britain giving Palestine a lump sum of 1 trillion pounds as compensation for past misdeads. Let us find out if he is really the pro Palestinian advocate he claims to be.

I didn't do it for you. I did it for those supported the idea.
<span>Then the British partitioned Palestine, </span>
ReplyDeleteLearn your facts. The UN partitioned Palestine.

Whatever! As long as you spare Israel of any wrong doing, that's ok with me.
Israel has also done many wrong things. I have tried to write about this on other blogs and been viscerally attacked. They think I back Hamas and Hezbollah etc. Do I really back Hamas and Hezbollah? I don't get it.
ReplyDeleteWith reps like Joe Walsh, Michelle Bachmann and Paul Ryan, it's pretty safe to say that they don't. That's why we need Obama to really step up and do the things that he says he'll do again now, and get voters out next time to sweep out most of this contingent.
ReplyDeleteA majority of Britons support Palestinian membership of the UN. Mark Thompson and his fellow zionists at the BBC must be bitterly disappointed. After all that broadcasting of Israeli propaganda unchecked and unedited; after all the suppression of glaring facts. After all the public warnings to reporters who go off message.
