Fifty years ago when Turkish troops invaded Cyprus the British Government, the De Facto ruler of that “independent” state put their own troops there under the direction of the UN, who were issued with the Blue Beret of UN peacekeeping forces. Led by their officers the British Parachute Regiment burnt the Blue Berets. And went unpunished.
British international conduct has ever seemed like a template for Mae West’s Diamonds. Goodness had nothing to do with it. Ms West was no hypocrite, unlike Britain’s policy makers.
I cannot recall seeing the current Secretary General of the UN, nor proceedings of the UN Security Council, receiving much attention during the past ten months in the British media. Western politicians have rushed to acclaim the Zionist genocide in Gaza, and the puppet regime in Kiev.
Over 330 schools and universities have been destroyed in Gaza, hospitals, mosques and Christian churches destroyed, doctors, nurses and ambulance staff systematically murdered, together with nearly 170 Al Jazeera reporters and photographers murdered.
Nobody from the British or Irish media have ventured to Gaza, nor have many shown solidarity with them. They seem happy to accept their exclusion from Gaza, and to accept Israeli allegations of rape and child-killing by Hamas fighters, allegations which have not been corroborated by any authoritative body. But the Israeli “Defence” Forces have themselves recorded their own atrocities and put them online. Last night Al Jazeera re-screened Israelis gloating at their own evil-doing over many months.
At the height of the Cold War Radio Moscow was not blocked by the West.
But RT Television is.
Neither the Soviet Union nor today’s Russia ever threatened Britain nor legitimate British interests.
Russia, the world’s largest country has all the animal, mineral and food resources it needs, and a skilled and educated population to exploit them. Global warming promises to turn huge areas of currently unproductive land into fertile soil and to expose rich mineral deposits.
Russians never burned Irish cities ,desecrated our places of worship, nor sunkrish trawlers. Why the hell should the IRISH TIMES tell us to hate President Putin?
In February 1933 the paper wanted us to hate De Valera in Ireland, and in the following month to join it in welcoming Hitler’s accession to power in Germany.
Mate, Hamas fighters uploaded their own GoPro camera footage that they were wearing on October 7th when they were carrying out their atrocities to various social media sites. Not to mention the footage from CCTV and security cameras that captured what they were doing. I can’t believe you have the audacity to write such bilge, you should be ashamed of yourself.
I would suggest you watch the 45 minute video of the footage, but you would probably only say it’s a conspiracy or something similar.
I don’t hide behind a pseudonym and I have been vindicated repeatedly for challenging lies in the
media, including lies in THE TIMES.
I do not write BILGE.
I have published many hundreds of book reviews, blogs and comments on this and that for over
50 years.
I don’t claim infallibility and am happy to stand corrected if I err.
But I have no reason to trust anonymous critics.
As an example of what I have written over the years I suggest Surveyor checks my BLOG
SERMONS IN STONES which can be read in 5 minutes.
Let’s get it out in the open. Hamas raped, murdered, cut babies throats. All 1200 of them. Up to the present the Israeli settler butchers posing as a defence force have butchered almost 40,000 people in Gaza…… Mostly women and children. Who’s winning?
