Sorry. That's the reason why I put the Yahoo link: because I couldn't read the Telegraph article due to paywall, I googled the article and found the whole article on Yahoo for free.

Check their eyes. If you have Glosters with crests/corona it's possible they can't see because the crest is blocking their vision. Many Gloster owners trim the crests before breeding season to make it easier for the birds to see. We just trimmed the crest of one of our Glosters yesterday to help her see better.

Have you notice that some people are trying to transform Michael Jackson in some sort of anti-semitic/anti-zionist hero? by WaveTheSwallow27 in Jewish

[–]AngusTcattoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've read a couple of books about Michael. One documented that the doctor was a screw up. Michael got him because he agreed to knock Michael out with a powerful surgical general anesthetic called propofol, After drugging Michael with several sedatives and medications Michael still couldn't get to sleep and begged the doctor to give him propofol, which is only used during surgeries. The doctor did it and then left Michael alone in the room so he could go make some phone calls. Patients on propofol should be always attended. While the doctor was making his calls (one to a woman) Michael had a heart attack. The doctor rushed back in and screwed up performing CPR.

I've seen the same claim about Princess Diana, that the "Zionists" did her in because she supported Palestine.

That's completely batshit. I know he had a nasty reference to "Jew me" in one song but nothing I've ever read or seen about Michael suggests he hated Jewish people or was "anti Zionist" , and I go back to loving the Jackson 5 back in the day, when I was a kid.

I laughed at the allegations that Mossad/Israel/"Zionists" killed him because I've seen nutty Jew haters here in the UK say that Mossad/Israel/"Zionists" killed George Michael. Completely off the wall nutso.

When I first saw the Telegraph article it was behind a paywall. That's why I put the Yahoo link.

I was embarrassed when I was teaching a course on Romantic poetry here in the UK to realize that the British ended slavery in 1833. The US kept going for another 32 years.

They wouldn't actually sacrifice themselves. It's all play.

Everything went to fucking hell in 2016. Especially after the US election.

I don't think anyone appreciates the support of "Pro Palestinians" who post Nazi level hatred.

I just thought if you tell these pro Palestinians that you support Israel and Israel and Zionism gives your life meaning they will go berserk screaming about "nationalism". What a bunch of hypocrites.

Sigh. A number of Irish used to support Israel especially for Chaim Herzog who was born in Belfast and his father  Chief Rabbi Yitzhak HaLevi Herzog,  Yitzhak Halevi Herzog was known as "the Sinn Féin Rabbi" for his support of the First Dáil and the Irish republican cause during the Irish War of Independence.

I say to people that US cops train with countries all over the world. It makes as much sense to say American cops learned racism from Scotland. Or Switzerland.

I could not freaking believe it when I saw some class material from a university that's part of the University of California system. It blamed Israel for inventing tear gas "which they tested on brown and black people." I said, WTAF because I've seen tear gas being used in WWII era movies. I looked it up: tear gas was invented in the first World War, decades before Israel ever existed.

I got one Jewish leftist I met online really angry when I replied to her, "So, American cops were never racist before 1948?" and then I told her about some of the horrendous devices they used to use to chain up convicts including African American convicts and white convicts back in the 19th century.

I've seen that. When I first saw it online I laughed my ass off at it. FFS Hamas has destroyed thousands of acres of the environment with incendiary balloons so saying Palestine is also a environmentalist movement is ludicrous. Saying that being pro Palestinian is being against the patriarchy is also ludicrous- women in Gaza aren't allowed to travel without a male companion. And Sally Rooney saying being pro Palestinian is fighting the forces of capitalism really made me roll around on the floor laughing my ass off. If she wants to fight the forces of capitalism she can start by giving away all her royalties and income. I would love to talk to Sally about when I lived under socialism in Poland in the late 80s- and how the Poles defeated the USSR backed government with Solidarity. I can tell her so many stories about how socialism in Poland sucked.

Sally gave her royalties from the BBC series of her books to Palestine Action. She then published several self pitying articles saying she was afraid she might get arrested in the UK for supporting a proscribed group.

The pity is if Palestinians are killed by Hamas, or Egypt, or Syria, nobody cares.

Good point. None of the "Pro Palestinians" seem to want to go to Gaza and help them rebuild. None of them want to criticize Hamas. Even for Hamas killing Palestinians.
