they say that Jewish patients felt victimized and harrassed by it....

is political opposition to israel's actions too often construed as antisemitism?

[naomi24]

sandyRoe, whatever your politics a hospital is no place for it.

[sandyRoe]

Yes, indeed. The protocols of Zion.
But the wheel has turned full circle. It's Israeli soldiers killing Palestinian children now.

[sandyRoe]

I'm using my phone so can't see the images.
Any one of them in particular that might offend anyone?

[naomi24]

The protocols of Zion? Utter nonsense. It’s not complicated. Politics has no place in our hospitals.

[Old_Geezer]

Not seen it, unless it is that set of plates shown in the picture. Seems a strange thing to claim to feel victimised and harrassed about.

One doesn't want to offend, but that ?!?!

[Deskdiary]

This is really quite simple.

If the art was made by Jewish people, would Muslims object (natch, of course they would), so Jews objecting is fair enough.

It’s completely daft either way, but not surprising.

Contrary to the Left, the Israelis are not the evil oppressors you seem to think they are.

By the way, I do wish we could stop using the phrase ‘anti-Semite’, because there’ll always be some boring pedant who pops up and nasally makes the point that semites are not just Jews, but mainly because I feel anti-Jew or Jew-hatred is more accurate.

do you think palestinians are oppressed deskdiary?

[ynnafymmi]

Only by their masters in the Hamas and Fatah terrorist groupings,Untitled.

[Deskdiary]

I don’t think they’re oppressed by the Israelis the way the left portray them to be.

I particularly dislike the terrorist faction in Palestine using civilians, including children, as human shields.

Bollix^^^

[sandyRoe]

That was directed at ynn...^^^

[Deskdiary]

Your cutting and forensic insight was impressive sandyRoe, but it’s beyond my meagre understanding, so could you elaborate please?

[sandyRoe]

I don't want to waste my time with someone with meager understanding.
Incidentally, that comment wasn't directed at you

They will brainwash your kids as they lie sick in hospital, ... if you let them.

[ynnafymmi]

Hi,sandy.You never came back to me about how the Republican Irish terrorist groupings have now changed and how they are totally against violence and killing and have now embraced democracy.

[ynnafymmi]

sandy,hello sandy....

I hope Peter Pedant is OK. He's not been on this thread and it's screaming for a good PP interjection (or even ejaculation if he's sufficiently aroused.)
All the usual suspects are slinging around their versions of reality and semantic interpretation and import and indignation. Ah well. That's AB for you.
Sorry PP, I could never capture your unique style.

[ynnafymmi]

sandy seems to have disappeared.Strange.

[Atheist]

ynna... Times change, circumstances change, personnel changes (old diehards die and younger blood comes in) and when your enemy changes its spots you should not continue to treat it as a leopard.
Sinn Fein is condemning the latest attack. Surely that is good news?

[sandyRoe]

Ynnafymmi,
I've a feeling you might be a former soldier. If you try to blame all republicans for the terrible attack the other night you're out of touch.
