I was very lonely, a drug addict in complete denial.
Now Im engaged in narcotics anonymous, recently clean for the first time in 20 years.
I have a great partner, I’m step-dad (now just dad actually) to three little nightmares who I love very, very much. Getting them diagnosed (autistic and ADHD) was hell and I’m a lot greyer now that I was at 27.
Still lots of problems but that’s life, it’s one step at a time.
No, no, no, we need to invite the scorpion on to the back of the frog again, this time it won’t sting, promise…
Joking aside, how long does the world put up with a literal death cult teaching its kids that their meaning in life is to die for the death cult before we realise that something has to change.
I just wish the Israelis hadn’t decided that mass killings were the answer. I also wish the Muslims in the area had found a way to give space for the Palestinians, but then we get back to the scorpion and the frog… Sigh…
ha, yeah that would explain it, thanks for the info
brilliant show, shame I don’t seem to be able to find any hi rez copies of it
deadloch is great fun
I think you make a great point about the means Israel uses.
I think they have a right to defend themselves when attacked but it does seem that every time they step so far past the acceptable that the results are truly horrific, the current genocide is evil incarnate.
I didn’t know about the peel partition proposal, thank you for enlightening me. every time I read the words of Ben gurion I’m slightly astounded, such duplicity, and that is has so much support is mind boggling to me.
just shows that the peace process has always been a cover for their plans, I mean he states it plainly. wild that they have always had so much support from the west , I’ve never understood western Christians support tbh.
yep, doesn’t make it untrue though.
war is always horrible.
most counties that take part in wars though at least attempt to follow some sort of rules, apparently there’s is zero accountability for the Israeli militaries actions and hasn’t been for decades.
I see another post about them torturing babies to force confessions from their parents, I’m not sure I know of anything more evil.
there a pretty good documentary called outfoxed the Rupert Murdoch story about how the media landscape has been turned in to silos/echo chambers, there just isn’t so much of a generalised viewpoint anymore, people have been led into camps of thinking and it’s really hard to get out once in.
"According to data obtained through freedom of information requests to the army by the Israeli human rights organization Yesh Din (for which I serve as a legal advisor), between 2016 and 2024 the military enforcement authorities were informed of 2,427 complaints regarding harm to Palestinians by soldiers in the occupied West Bank. The army opened investigations into only 552 of these cases (22.7 percent of the complaints), and only 23 led to indictments (0.9 percent).
In the Gaza Strip, the situation is not much better: More than 1,500 complaints related to soldiers’ conduct since October 2023 have so far yielded only two indictments."
no matter what or who started this conflict the nature of Israel’s “defence” (now genocide) is just indefensible. war is horrible always but there needs to be accountability.
no one is mad. except maybe the people who are writing rambling essays because of a comment from a stranger. I hope you enjoyed wasting your time.
btw I’m not Arab but good try. thanks for wishing my family dead I guess.
again, you’re rambling. is your point that everyone is one people? because im not sure anyone would agree with that. how you can claim that two religions whose inceptions are thousands of years apart are the same just because the same god was coopted for the later religions, or ignore the differing cultures etc. but whatever, you do you.
don’t tell me what I meant please.
also tbh your comment goes all over that place so I’m not sure what the trust of it is? religion is shit and everyone is at fault? yeah I broadly agree
"Initially on the defensive, the Zionist forces switched to the offensive in April 1948.[20][21] In anticipation of an invasion by Arab armies,[22] they enacted Plan Dalet, an operation aimed at securing territory for the establishment of a Jewish state.[23]
The second phase of the war began on 14 May 1948, with the declaration of the establishment of the State of Israel and the termination of the British Mandate at midnight. The following morning, the surrounding Arab armies invaded Palestine, beginning the 1948 Arab–Israeli War. The Egyptians advanced in the south-east while the Jordanian Arab Legion and Iraqi forces captured the central highlands. Syria and Lebanon fought against the Israeli forces in the north. The newly formed Israel Defense Forces managed to halt the Arab forces and in the following months began pushing them back and capturing territory."

but I guess that’s Israel’s fault too right?
Christians, Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Americans. the list is endless.
the years of these events are historical facts, not sure what debate there is. nothing happens in a vacuum though and one thing leads to another etc. perhaps you’d like to show me sources for how I’m wrong? Jews have been in that area for 5000 years since the Canaanites, is that the colonising you are refering to? as I’m not sure that buzzword applies here
the they wasn’t vague, it was contextual, don’t you know how to have a conversation? I never said it was all. if you need specifics, extremist Islamist do. there’s you go, question answered. I didn’t group anyone. I just point out a belief held by many. I also didn’t state any logic, just facts, which you don’t seem to like. btw I’m ex Muslim so I’m well aware of the hatred I was raised in and surrounded by and don’t need you minimising my lived experience just because it doesn’t fit in with your world view. antisemitism is deeply rooted in islam, it’s a fact.
they do.
"The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say: ‘O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him.’
read a book, it might help you understand
you mean like the arabs saying it’s their holy imperative to wipe the Jews out? is that helping?
Same to you friend!
