    Looks like he’s out at the Beeb. Remains to be seen whether the rat emoji post had anything to do with it.

    Can't say or do anything now without being labelled anti semitic. Yet this country turns a blind eye to Netanyahu and his cronies causing destruction and committing war crimes in Gaza...

    BBC Motto: "Nation shall speak peace unto Nation".

    BBC bosses upset that he has an opinion on whether Genocide is a good or bad thing I mean criticising mass murder of an entire nation. It’s not on

    It's actually mind blowing how people can be peace loving, rational, considerate people. But the very second the word "Israel" gets mentioned, their brain melts and they go into some tirade about antisemitism.

    The fact of the matter is that thousands upon thousands of innocent people (not Hamas before anyone nit picks) have been, and are being slaughtered.

    I don't care who's doing the killing, whether they're Israelis, or any other Nation of people. It's evil, and it needs to stop.

    Why is criticising the Israeli government deemed as being anti semitic?

    Wonder if the Tories and some in the labour party will castigate Lineker.
    And many on here that were quoting anti semitism, in 2018
    When suspensions came to some in the labour party. (A witch hunt imo.) the media etc were over egging what some were actually saying. I'd love to know the views now.
    It is not wrong to criticise a regime that were persecuted in the past for their actions of today. BTW Hamas are not in the clear, as they cry wolf, and then stir up hostilities time and again. I don't ever see an end to it. The more the innocents are killed. More of the population will will join terrorist groups.
    Corbyn puts it well imo. Do folk honestly believe he has a prejudice or hatred of the Jews. (Anti semitism)

    I would highly recommend the Louis Theroux documentary on West Bank settlers on iPlayer for anyone that’s not watched it.

    That was bloody brilliant. There were times when I was thinking to myself for him to just shut up, as he could have ended up in a very bad situation. Especially with the coppers.

    People expect a lot of Israel.

    If foreign extremists crossed our border illegally, broke into people's homes, started shooting indiscriminately, murdered hundreds, raped and mutilated, and took women and children hostage; then if people in their country took to the streets to celebrate - I don't think we'd be that understanding or fond of them either.

    I'd hope though that we might pause for thought before murdering 50,000 of them.

    I think you might need to understand the brutality the Israeli state has been imparting on Palestinians. And you might need to understand that Palestinians are not Hamas.

    Israel have committed some atricious war crimes against civilians. It is genocide, pure and simple.

    Because it's a lazy, ill-informed cop out by critics who can't defend the Israeli government's actions and have got nothing else.

    I see that it's become trendy now to be pro-Palestine. The media, even adverts, have done a complete u-turn. I guess Corbyn was right
