Of course. And let’s not forget what Avner Cohen, who at one time was the Israeli official overseeing religious affairs in Gaza, said later: ‘Hamas, to my great regret, is Israel’s creation.’ He didn’t literally but for promoting Islam as a counterweight to Arafat’s people.

That she’s terrified of his hard stare?

Indeed. Netanyahu has been very clever at hiding his fanaticism re preventing a Palestinian state. Scroll back to 1985 and Netanyahu leading a protest against Yitzhak Rabin which was a mock funeral procession with coffin inscribed with Rabin kills Zionism. Several months later Rabin was assassinated

Better hurry up. Empires in decline are often at their most violent as they try to keep control. And I believe Trump should be considered in this light.

Interesting. The implication being that she considers Reform is a great threat to the Tories.

Spot on. We have been subjected to some egregious nonsense re Archer’s demise.

As a former journalist sometimes it works like that.

Perhaps so. Re Jeffrey - was Monica Coghlan’s favourite song Underneath The Archer? I somehow doubt it.

bradholler.bsky.social @bradholler.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
Agreed. in addition was the late Monica Coghlan’s favourite song Underneath The Archer? I somehow doubt it.

Particularly if you have seen video of four or five Iron Dome interceptors completely miss a single target.

Not a bad way of putting it. He’s let all the poisons in the mud hatch out?

Not a defence expert and some. Her performance this morning re Britannia Shield was nonsense.

Well, I wouldn’t call him a loveable rogue. Was Monica Coghlan’s favourite song Underneath The Archer?

Indeed. It’s a bidding war.

Of course, it was not pointed out that Iron Dome has been found wanting.

You do realise she has been responsible for revealing the musical talents of the first couple? Trump plucks the harp while Melania plays the harpdiscord.

Absolutely right. All the Greens motion will do is provoke a lot of domestic boring and deploring with accusations and finger pointing all round. And people settling scores eyc It has little or no relevance to what is happening in Israel/Palestine.

bradholler.bsky.social @bradholler.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
Indeed. I think you refer to what is known as cultural Zionism and it is my preferred brand as it were. There is great deal to admire particularly in people such as Buber and Ahad Ha’am.

Or AMW as he is now. Surprised he hasn’t gone into the diet industry with his special non-sweat regime.

Have to say I thought Foster pretty poor there. And did she really have to refer to him during the interview as Ezra? I hate that familiarity. So unprofessional.

I doubt it. Unless, of course, we’re allowed to trawl through the clandestine underworld.

In my view the Fairford farce graduates to a charade. This, I believe, is meant to give the impression that another bombing assault on Iran is unlikely when the movement of munitions suggests otherwise. The whole Fairford story just doesn’t stack up

You forget the NYT reported some time afterwards that Israel knew the Hamas plan months before. Not the timing obviously. But then there were Israel’s own observers warning about suspicious activities on the border. That’s plus all the other warnings we know about.

Two weeks before the attack Netanyahu went to the UN and unveiled a map without the Palestinians. To the hot headed blood thirsty Sinwar I would suggest it was like a red rag to a bull. And, from what I’ve read, Sinwar kept the timing of the attack to himself and people close to him in Gaza.

Indeed. From my understanding there was some antisemitism in Labour as you say but it was exaggerated. The key moment I believe was Corbyn giving May a run for her money in the 2017 GE. imagine the consternation in a capital some 2000 miles to the east of the spectre of a pro-Palestinian PM.

Meanwhile policy wise he is shafting the very voters he would try to bribe.

And yet she’s strangely overrated by some men of vast political reporting experience.

Well we all know the BBC news high ups’ matching order regarding Reform and its voters.

The astonishing thing is that he is doing things harmful to the very people cheering him in this audience and to his supporters in general. Don’t they get it? Prejudices provide no cover for poor health.

Yes indeed. This is when he will be at his most dangerous, urged on by the likes of Miller, Voight, Musk etc

This has been to problem with the web etc from the start. Social media grew as far as I can see with no real oversight or control. The horse had bolted long before anyone decided to shut the stable door, partly, as you indicate here, because too few legislators knew much about it.

Never have rhetoric and reality been so far removed from each other than in the mind, and that’s a stretch, of Trump.

Don’t forget the build up to the Rabin assassination and the coffin/funeral procession stunt.

There’s a bit more I believe to 7 Oct ‘complacency’ by Bibi than meets the eye when you start putting the pieces of the jigsaw together. Don’t forget, when it comes to opposing the creation of a Palestinian state he is a fanatic.

bradholler.bsky.social @bradholler.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Re 7 Oct - not so certain you‘re right. I still can’t get past the map and Bibi’s need for something to ease the considerable domestic pressure he was under. But as he’ll never be cross-examined we’ll never know the answer.

On another topic just thought I share this headline which I just picked up from Haaretz.

bradholler.bsky.social @bradholler.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
Absolutely soon on HS. I listen to the Today programme and there is far too much speculation used to substitute for news and actual facts. I leave you with this headline I’ve just picked up from Haaretz.

Well, he did remember to ask ‘is it safe?’.

It’s not socialism. It’s common decency.

Indeed. That’s the problem and what we saw at the Reform conference when that woman heckler was attacked reflected that given Naturally Fraudulent‘s response.
