Sajid Riasat mate you still treat your women as third class citizens so shut up.
Graeme Harris Yes, many do, Harris. Right now the British, the Americans, the German… regimes have been treating Palestinian women (and children) as non-humans that must be sacrificed at the altar. Many women, east and West, north and south, are treated as commodities, highly sexualised and the gender pay gap is obscene even at the heart of Britain. One should have a bigger picture too otherwise we find ourselves complicit in oppression. The Saudis are ‘our’ friends, aren’t they?
Ned Ma ide say it’s the Palestinians using their kids as shields for years is a problem. Hamas hiding in hospitals. Palestinians and Arabs world over celebrating when Hamas kidnapped and killed kids. I’ve yet to see an Arab state condemn it. Look at yourselves first then wonder why countries are fed up.
Graeme Harris at least two prejudices here: 1. no basic knowledge of history of occupation and apartheid and the different forms of resistance Palestinians used over the decades. You blame the oppressed. 2. What is look at yourselves? Who told you I was an Arab? And what do you know of Arab history that allow you to use ‘yourselves’? Is that not another prejudice? Most Arab states did not condemn Hamas attack. I have nothing to do with them. Britain, US , Germany, Egypt, Jordan, and other Arab states are now complicit in genocide. Have you condemned them? When British and Australian troops committed wars crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan, including killing children, have you condemned them? For you, in order to ignore state violence of the states, you start with Hamas attack. There is no history, no build up, no context, something one learns at the GCSE, not to speak of university. Finally, can you go through my arguments here and refute them one by one?
Harris did not reply to the last comment.
