In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
They have been saying that part out loud for a long while. People just pretend that they aren't.
Which people? Do you have any evidence?
Where? At the London protest? Or are you talking about the NYC BLM protest?
This has nothing to do with the protest.
Another lie it seems. The saying itself predates Hamas' creation, emerging in the 1960s.
I was at the march - there was no Hamas flags, no pro-Hamas chanting, no glorifying terror. I know I didn't speak / see everything but it was a great show of solidarity for Palestine from all walks of life.
Not thick, it's just they're saying the quiet part out loud more often now.
She's said this before for instance
Which if said by a Palestinian would undoubtedly be seen as calling for genocide but has become par for the course recently. Just people don't want to hear it.
Israel has dropped more bombs in Gaza in 6 days than what were dropped in Afghanistan over a year.
That's basically more bombs on a "postage stamp" compared to what was dropped in Iraq
Asking people to leave their homes and area is a war crime under international law

Israel's army is classed as 18th best.
Also the majority of its "points" are for the air force and basically the likes of Mossad
Israel's ground army is rubbish and amongst the worst trained. The reservists would get battered in a ground war and why Israel usually agrees terms before ground war takes place.
Also the Israeli populace has no stomach for a ground war and usually turn against the government when soldiers start getting killed.
Labour have cleared up the point that Israel should allow humanitarian aid etc.
Poor preparation and a gaffe more than anything
The Netanyahu supporters are idiots, violent and totally incapable is accepting any sort of criticism against their cult leader.
Do you think the unanimous international support that Israel got from the US, UK, and EU emboldened them to shut off water and electricity to the entire population?
Do you think this retroactive partial retreat means as much as the total initial support for mass starvation?
Gazan Airlift?
President of the European Commission saying she wants to create a "humanitarian air corridor" from Egypt to Gaza

Apologising and correcting their mistakes. The evil, biased bastards.
Ah, so you can't lose in this setup, I should have known!
All Israel fault?
Do you have any guesses about what the feeling is right now? Based on the replies to that tweet, it seems that those families wanted to (understandably) prioritise their family member hostages, while the others want more bombing (understandably, but less so, imo!).
I would guess there's pretty overwhelming support for general revenge, much more than a targeted campaign aimed at the hostages? But also that what those Bibi supporters did there isn't going to be popular (if it gets publicised)
...
c'mon man. you are smart enough to know what the effect is.
He's like this when he's asked about litterally anything. To scared to say anything in case the papers jump on him.
It's hard for the tablaoid rags to spin a neutral statement like "Israel has the right to defend itself within the confines of international law" so ewhy not just say that?
Well, not apologising would be worse, right?
Nope, but mostly Israel and it's Western
The EU have zero power to do anything here. This is all a game involving the Israelis, Hamas, the US, and Egyptians (with a bit of clout from the Saudis and Qataris).
With the hope of not getting antisemitic( because that is what they call everyone who is antizionist, anti-colonialist and anti-apartheid), I believe it is cowardice to continue to be inhumane for 75 years especially when Israelis themselves know what being suppressed feels like. Without the help of Washington, this wicked Israeli regime would not dare to continue this inhumane acts on their neighbours.
Rightfully the actions of Hamas is barbaric but to sit there and assume that this conflict started last weekend is burying ones' head in the sand. America has continued to show how partial they are, one will not be wrong to conclude that they are complicit in this genocide. It is a disgrace how the international community has turned its blind eye on Palestinians. What makes Ukrainian/Israeli lives better than that of Palestinians?
What I have learnt from all this is that one's life is not worth much if you don't have have blonde hair and blue eyes. I am sick and tired of being sick and tired of this injustice and the distortion of the truth by the main stream media.

I'm sure you understand what the original report does, though.
The families want to be heard. The treatment of them has been terrible. It took many days for govenment officials to have any contact with them. It took Netanyahu nine days to meet with their representatives (and turn it into a political set-up).
Yes, of course they want the hostages to be prioritised as well. As for the others - the people who attacked them, etc - it's not about what the govenment does. Those bastards see anyone who criticises Netanyahu or oppose him in any way as enemies.
Nope.

It has everything to do with who supports Hamas though which is what we're talking about. Jeremy Corbyn.
It refers to the wiping out of Israel - which is now Hamas policy and their main point of difference with the Palestinian Authority, the successor to the P.L.O. from the 1960's. As long as people chant it they can't really complain if the Israelis decide to do the same thing back.
I guess you missed the paragliders then. Perhaps you see what suits you? I see two sets of extreme irreconcilable religious ideology. You seem to see only one.
Oh look, Israel's 'collateral' damage, bombing rescue teams working on a site already bombed. What makes so much more mad at this situation are the p*ssy Western nations looking at all this as still continuing to defend Israel, and then act holier than thou when it comes to criticizing Muslim countries and their human rights record, also being appalled when we don't buy into their BS.
Today Bayern also said they will speak to Mazroui because he put out a statement supporting Palestine. Seriously, f*CK them, they were trying to act like they care about human rights when it came to Qatar.
No one in the West gives a damn about human rights, it's only power and money they care of and are very willing to look the other way when it favours either of that.

In the grand scheme of things, not much? Was it even part of one of their main news shows? Or a clip from their 24 hour news channel? Just seems mad to me that tiny snippets like that would be in any way influential. Obviously whipping up a Twitter frenzy around the clip will expose a lot more people to it but that’s a separate issue.

Dunno why you’re interested in my thoughts?
The general vibe seems to be that protests supporting Palestine are being banned or suppressed? Which seems odd to me in the context of thousands of people peacefully protesting all over the world.
@The Corinthian was at one of those protests. I’m sure he would have mentioned if he had to run away from baton charges, or water cannons. Or maybe he just hasn’t got round to bringing that up?
I have heard of a fair amount being banned. Some that you see in France were banned, people still went and protested peacefully. In fact our cnut of interior minister congratulated the police for arresting organizers and somme journalists.
No, that's not the "general vibe" of the article, which (especially in the context of the posts before) goes into some detail about the media reaction. Which, the article suggests, is a bigger problem than "tiny snippets from a news show".
Canada has urged its citizens to leave Lebanon. I would imagine other countries will follow.
So we expect Hezbollah to get heavily involved in the coming days, following iranian remarks?
I'm still doubtful to be honest. Why would Hezbollah get involved, with what goal? They're not wiping out Israel with 2 American carrier strike groups nearby.
Saw another hypothesis that Hezbollah provides an umbrella for Palestinian fighters operating out of southern Lebanon.
Its sort of why Hezbollah exists, so I would imagine the Iranians will use them to open up a 2nd front once the Israelis start the ground war.
