People should be worried, very worried......history often repeats itself

Muslims hate Jews as much as the Nazis did......and there are 3.8m living within the UK
You're doing it again. Not all Muslims share the same views, as not all Labour supporters share the same views, other than the defining view that makes them Muslims and Labour supporters.

Not all Germans supported Hitler.

Exactly. That's why people blame the war in Ukraine on Putin or Russia, not "Russians". It's that sort of rhetoric that results in attacks like the van that was driven into people exiting a Mosque.

That's no reason for ignoring obvious problems, just because you perceive it to be a minority.....that's my point

I think Putin's war in Ukraine has given Iran (Hezbollah & Hamas ) inspiration to attack Israel again

Is the deliberate targeting of civilian and residential areas not a war crime, or are we all ignoring that at the moment ? I heard the Israeli defence minister say that they were concentrating on "damage, not accuracy" yesterday, unbelievable. And most western governments are cheerleeding this

Apparently, the most natural thing in the world for teenagers to do, besides wanking, is throwing stones at soldiers.

I must have been an odd teenager, I never got the urge to do that, throwing stones that is. :)

I once threw plum to moving car and managed to "snipe" a driver. Spoiled his perfectly white shirt and got my ass kicked for that.

You fool. The Israelis are announcing in advance the attack zones and even sending letters to Gaza residents advising them to leave to avoid the danger. What the Western leaders are 'cheerleading' as you put it, is the rights of a sovereign nation to defend itself vigorously after such atrocities as Hamas / ISIS committed.

I didn't say they were. I said I wasn't expecting to get into an argument. I don't even know why you're quoting me. If you got something to say about colours and flags, just say it. No need to quote my posts and I'm not interested.
I quoted you because I saw my comment as adding to your quote, I opened with "It's like ...", that confirmed approval! Why do you always assume I'm being critical of you.
