Amazing language. 📂 Archived Message Posted by Ken Waldron on May 21, 2021, 3:49 pm, in reply to "BBC is also spinning it - tectonic shift (eyes roll)" "While President Joe Biden has expressed a more traditional view, repeatedly emphasising that Israel has the right to defend itself against Hamas rocket attacks, he's finding himself out of step in a party that is now at least as concerned with the conditions on the ground for the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank - and Israeli policies viewed as contributing to their plight." "Contributing": the new BBCspeak for "Wholly responsible". Was in St Andrews at the weekend: good to see a Palestine supporting student demonstration even in that wee University village. Gave them a big thumbs up and got a surprising roar of approval as I went by: I forgot I was wearing my now traditional keffiyeh. Message Thread: Cease fire.
