Corbyn ‘suspected hand of Israel’ in Egypt bombing during Press TV interview
It's the latter IMO. Of course there are going to be a small handful of asshats - but they exist cross-party.
Because the Iranian state runs a shitty regime that denies freedom to its people and is a close ally of Putin's shitty regime, both of which see the 'west' including the UK as an enemy maybe?
There's your problem in black and white.
That's precisely the point. There are many good and brave people in Iran that we should be supporting. The regime which PressTV advocates is absolutely against those people. It's not about the country or its people at all. You get paid to shill a regime on its propaganda outlet then you should expect people to call you out on it. I didn't see him saying how he thinks women shouldn't be forced to wear hijabs or that political prisoners should face fair trials. I just saw him agreeing with the host that Israel was behind some murders without any actual proof because of course it must be Israel.
I'm not saying you don't have to read between the lines but given that there wasn't a shred of evidence against Israel for the killings and his reasoning seemed to go like 'there's no way Arabs would kill anyone during Ramadan' then it certainly scans like Arabs = trustworthy, Jews = not.
Yep. Again, agreed. But someone's had to dig hard to find shit on a TV station that's not broadcast in the west to find Corbyn saying "I suspect..." and then hammering incredibly hard on that.
Israel is secular..its 'ex pat' jews who hang on to their religion as a handy tool for political leverage.
Don't see the problem with it.
It's the friends from hamas shite again. Tarring by association. It's doubtful any politician has the time or resources to check every word that somebody said down the years before being polite about them on a shared platform.
