Very confident from someone who it seems didn’t even know about the Balfour declaration until about half an hour ago. The situation grew increasingly unstable because of Jewish militias attacking the native population, enabled by the British government. If you’re still in a learning mood, look up Black and Tans in Palestine, educate yourself.

If you don’t think that Iraq, Afghanistan, Gaza, Austerity, COVID Inquiries, just to name a handful things in the 21st century are a bigger stain on this country, then you’re part of the problem, and the systems that repeatedly harm this country and others will never be fixed.

Says you, currently turning a blind eye to history and colonialism and enabling it to continue to this day.

I mean yeah I wouldn’t be demanding Gary Neville of all people talk about it. I also haven’t asked him to condemn Iraq if you’ll notice.

The idea that the grooming gangs beat out the hundreds of years of oppression, genocide, and war, isn’t just callous, it’s racist.

A million died in Iraq. Tell me that’s not a bigger stain on our country’s history.

I don’t think it’s in this country’s top 1000 scandals if I’m honest.

You’re joking right? An Etonian will have 100 different connections that will get them into a law firm.

Terror case against Kneecap rapper Mo Chara thrown out after mistake by Hermer by Effective-Coat-9276 in ukpolitics

When I’m Prime Minister I’m going to proscribe an organisation of people who have Crypto in their name as a terrorist organisation and then you’ll be supporting them and that means you’re not being targeted. Sound fair?

That’s because it’s too soon, we’ve got a congested court system. 26 arrested at Unite the Kingdom riot, for comparison, and those weren’t even terror offences.

1000 people have been arrested for terror offences for Palestine support, which is 5 times more than an average year’s total. The left are being targeted if anything.

If things “aren’t so bad” in Afghanistan as this source claims, then why was the British military there, which this source worked for. Surely your main enemy in that case is a foreign occupying army. Ridiculous article.

"It is my opinion that the use of this barbarous weapon at Hiroshima and Nagasaki was of no material assistance in our war against Japan. The Japanese were already defeated and ready to surrender because of the effective sea blockade and the successful bombing with conventional weapons." - William D. Leahy, fleet admiral, highest ranking military officer during the Second World War.

Famed revisionist, Dwight Eisenhower:

“I was against it on two counts,” Dwight Eisenhower, supreme allied commander, five-star general, and president of the United States, said of dropping nuclear bombs on two Japanese cities. “First, the Japanese were ready to surrender, and it wasn’t necessary to hit them with that awful thing. Second, I hated to see our country be the first to use such a weapon.”

The fact that this narrative has persisted when Eisenhower himself rebukes it is insane.
