Why should she ‘give up Islam’? It’s her attitude and character – not the faith she has chosen – which makes her such a creep.

P.S. Has she ever read Richard Dawkins “The God Delusion” and Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution (now backed by a wealth of scientific/genetic evidence)? We now know how ancient and infinitely vast the universe is (literally billions of billions of planets) which shows how important our world is in the grand scheme of things. I’d hate to waste my life on medieval superstition when we can be 99.9% sure the “god”, described in any of the organised religions, does not exist. Most muslims were born and raised in that culture so I can completely understand their allegiance to Islam – but Ridley was an educated (secular?) person with no connection to it but actually chose to become involved.

or no more than a tiny number of Jews in Palestine.

A fight for what, exactly? The same fight the Palestinian Muslim and Christian national movement has been fighting since its inception, sometimes with the aid of the latest British, French and Russian weapons i.e. no Jewish national presence in Palestine?

Surely in that instance it would be “fair” for Israeli Jews to fight with the same goal in mind for Palestinian Christians and Muslims i.e. total exclusion, dispossession or elimination?

Bit of a cheek coming from people who get missiles given to them by a soon-to-be nuclear foreign power. The Karin A wasn’t transporting lollipops.

I know very little about the British system of ombudsmen (probably called ombudsperson now), but doesn’t it seem to be high time for a review of the functioning of the Charity Commission? ‘Fit for purpose’ is not the description which springs to mind.

Would you trust your kid with a Ferrari?

Its not the weapons but the quality of the people using them and the tactics behind them.

At the risk of being rude, the Egyptians and Syrians (the glorious liberators of Palestine) had the best kit the Russians could offer them in 1967 and 1973, and they got their arses kicked.

The PLO (ensconsed within ‘Fatahland’) also had sophisticated kit to arm their guerrillas in Lebanon in 1982 – including artillery and tanks. Admittedly the latter were WWII-vintage T34s, but they didn’t lack for kit. Didn’t do them much good though (read Yezid Sayigh’s
‘Armed Struggle and the Search for State’ if you think my summary sounds Orientalist).

… using them to target your civilian population while you only target our fighters. And then we’ll use our stooges at the UN to say black is white and accuse you of crimes against humanity.

In reality, yeah, right, it’s tax deductible and the UK government, paid for by the UK population, will increase your donation by up to two thirds.

And if you’re on PAYE, don’t worry, UK gov will pay the money directly.
