Israel to Abbas: No, Jesus was not a Palestinian

A happy New Year to one and all and may this site become redundant as soon as possible….though I somehow doubt it will as the BBC starts off as it no doubt means to go on…with Giles Fraser on Thought for the Day telling us Christ wasn’t  a Christian [surely the first one] …he’ll tell us next that Muhammed wasn’t a Muslim…won’t he?…but Jesus was, however, a ‘Palestinian’.  Fraser naturally trying to link Jesus to ‘Palestinians‘ today…which is a dodgy sleight of hand as of course ‘Palestinian’ is a politicised term whose meaning goes far beyond mere existence in a territory….one which Jews might want to call Judea not Palestine…or even ‘Israel’, an ancient name….has Fraser never heard of the ‘Tribes of Israel’?  It is a narrative used by Muslims, along with the ‘Muslim Jesus’ phrase, to hijack Jesus and make out the Jews are once again ‘killing Jesus’ or rather his descendants…the Palestinians…lol.  Good of the not so reverend Giles Fraser to adopt what is a anti-Christian, anti-Jewish Muslim narrative.

I’m sure you can spot plenty more BBC nonsense as they revise the past in order to write the future….list it all here….

    In the BBC, a continuation of whitewashing the oppressively Islamic totalitarian regime that rules Iran. I get the impression they are embarrassed by the quite unjustified (in their eyes) uprisings all over the country, and would really like them to go away. Notably, Jeremy Bowen in a long piece early in the Today programme briefly mentioned Yemen among Iran’s ‘foreign interventions’ , but when he did the piece later in the programme (or they re-broadcasted it), there was no mention of Yemen! This is, of course, entirely in keeping with the BBC’s policy of placing the sole blame for the Yemen conflict on Saudi Arabia, and never mentioning Iran’s role in fomenting and maintaining it. Did someone censor Bowen’s piece, or have a quiet word with him?

      Love the BBC reporting, in the above article linked by Alex, of the terrifying New Year 2015/2016 activities in Cologne.

      “Cologne has been at the centre of a controversy over New Year’s Eve celebrations since two years ago, when a large number of assaults against women – allegedly by men from migrant backgrounds – marred the festivities.”

      Note well the phrase that the assaults were ‘allegedly by men from migrant backgrounds’

      Note well also the use of the phrase ‘controversy’ when describing the events………. ‘controversy’…….- what bloody controversy ? It happened ! Strange that Beeboids are at the forefront in unreservedly believing, and backing, what any woman might say about sexual assault, as long as they are not clearly identifying culprits from a certain background

      Typical response from the BBC when faced with the bleeding obvious they don’t like….. nothing to see here, move on quickly, please, we’re in the process of re-writing history.

    Can’t be long before they go for the envelopes with fake overstamps, “Visit Approved” and inside the little golden envelope containing details of the fine that I might have won!

      I haven’t had a TV at this address and I’ve been here over 10 years. I get occasional letters but no visits. It should be clear by now that no Conservative government will do anything about BBC bias, and the best thing is to encourage TV tax avoidance. The BBC’s fat funding insulates it from having to pander to commercial sensibilities. Hopefully Netflix and Amazon, along with the internet generally, will continue their advance, but I think too many people still think you need a BBC licence to own a TV.

    I wonder how the BBC is going to weasel its way out of this conundrum, I expect by mentioning nothing about it at all.

    Islam is perfect. The ‘prophet’ Mohammed was a perfect man. The Qur’an and associated scribblings contain the perfect way for people to live peacefully with each other.

    So when something like Iran happens and the people, sick of the clerics and the rule of Sharia rebel against it then most sensible people would say that there is such a grave problem with the system itself that it is far from perfect. But, if they do admit that then they admit that Islam is imperfect and its prophet too, and that renders the entire religion false !

    They do have another get out though and it’s the one the Iranian clerics are currently using. It’s all the fault of the West and that includes Britain for imposing sanctions, I expect that given the opportunity to blame Britain this is what the BBC will seize on. The fact remains however that the Iranians could have ended those sanctions at any time if they had agreed to suspend the work on building a nuclear weapon, something they refused to do, and then Obama decided to unilaterally end the sanctions with nothing in return.
    It seems that this is more likely to be the cause of a lot of unrest, as corrupt clerics have trousered the money and are living in luxury while the people live in relative poverty. You can bet the BBC won’t be blaming the Obamessiah anytime soon !

      I don’t think there is much danger of the Iranian regime being overthrown or a serious attempt being made to do so. In the unlikely event that there were to be, it would be even more catastrophic for Western Europe than the Libyan and Syrian debacles; in terms of the increased flow of Third World immigrants westward and the heightening of hostility with Russia – that would not want, another (bigger) civil war on its border and which allied itself with Iran to defeat ISIS in Syria.

      Iran is nothing to do with either us or the U.S. Trump should remember that supporters at his “America First” rallies were chanting “Build The Wall” not “Bomb Iran”.
      If he were foolish enough to embroil America in (yet) another Middle Eastern war, going against everything that he campaigned on: then he wouldn’t win another term as POTUS.

        If that is likely I hope the rebels – if they are serious contenders – will make some promises to Putin.

    I note with horror the experimentation by the police with which laws they comply and which they don’t, rather than enforcing the laws they are given by our government. Our legal system enforcement is becoming joke – for instance Leicester police only investigating burglaries at even-numbered houses just a couple of years ago; and police forces now only turning out if a thief (elegantly titled a ‘shoplifter’ – since that doesn’t sound so bad) steals more than £200 from a shop.

    So – let me get this straight – a thief can steal up to £200 per day, every day of the year, in the full knowledge that nothing will happen to them, even if they get caught. Compare and contrast this with the effort expended to enforce compliance with the £149 TV licence laws…..essentially a once-a -year event.

    Some thieves are clearly more equal than others.

      Equally if crimes are committed by certain ethnic minorities they aren’t enforced at all. Recent example is a near neighbour whose car was written off when an enricher of the peaceful persuasion ran in the back of him. He had no driving licence, insurance, MOT, or road tax, and yet he has not been prosecuted. Imagine what would have happened if that had been the other way around?

      If the useless Political Correctness Enforcement Squad (lets not call them the Police because they’re not) were refusing to prosecute the clear and obvious rape of tens of thousands of young children, preferring to prosecute them at their parents, then what hope do we have of them operating fairly and with impartiality?

    Complaint by someone on another forum about the New Years Day concert from Vienna that the BBC commentator Petroc Trelawny moaned that there were fewer women in the Orchestra this year. Presumably he must count the number every year and make some kind of petty like note for himself? The insinuation being that the orchestra was not politically Correct and that equality matters more than excellence.

    The poster went on to note that since Trelawny took over Radio 3 breakfast he has removed all the great masterworks from the schedule, and replaced them with obscure pieces with little merit, but which were composed by wimmin.

      Petshop Trelawny is simply following BBC house-style. Many moons ago I was a Radio 4 listener. Finding my culture and beliefs needlessly assaulted daily I fled as a refugee finding temporary asylum at Radio 5 – mistakenly thinking the BBC wouldn’t mix sport and lefty politics. How wrong I was. One of several final straws was a BBC football commentator telling us that prior to a Champion’s League match there had been some racial chanting in the away fixture and he (the sports commentator) was going to be keeping an ear out for any repeat of that. Presumably the chap saw himself as football official, police officer and racial campaigner all rolled into one. As I say, BBC house-style.

          Do you think HYS have any purpose? I suspect all such feedbacks are censored, and votes are unreliable. I thought it was just paranoia till I experienced it myself. On the Daily Telegraph website I had the second most popular comment on an article until it disappeared, I can only imagine because it was critical of Saudi Arabia. At least on the BBC deleted comments still show as that, but I now try and ignore even looking at comments on internet articles.

              The way I see it the BBC and May’s government are very close on a number of things and the extensive coverage on HYS on, for example, Brexit has two uses. First to inform the government of real public opinion, and second, the massaged comments we see are designed to show where possible that Brexiteers are racist, ignorant bigots.
              Same for other topics – eg recycling, medical advice to cut down cost of therapy.

        The original words of Niemoller have been rewritten by the lefties because they do not want everybody to realise that the Nazi.s were actually socialists . In fact the word Nazi is a short version of ” The National Socialist Workers Party of Germany ”

        So the first line was not ” First they came for the socialists ” , because it was the Socialists who were coming to take away anybody that disagreed with them .

        I guess you missed the repeat fake news that Corbyn has to sit on the floor when he travels by train?

        I have just made a journey of 100 miles by car, (on my own, naughty!). I expect I could have used public transport, (maybe not on a public holiday?). Under ideal conditions it would take ten minutes to walk to the bus, 5 to 15 minutes waiting for the bus, a ten minute walk up a steep hill to the station and perhaps 10-20 minute wait for the train. It is quite likely that there would be no seat. Having caught the train I would later have had to change to another with a 5-30 minute wait. Then a five minute walk to the bus stop, a 5-15 minute wait for the bus, which fortunately would drop me off 100 metres from my door.

        I’m not too sure how my two bags and three plastic storage boxes would have managed though! These idiots who promote the train and bike never seem to factor in the fact that a lot of us move ‘stuff’ too.

    Just one more thought while we’re here… on BBC coverage of Iran. You know you’re probably in a bad place when the country has not a President or a Premier but a “Supreme Leader”
    Mind you, on the other hand, the BBC tells us Iran is ruled by “Clerics” – so that sounds not so bad – a regime of cucumber sandwiches, tea and muffins at the Rectory.

      Sadiq’s tweet is a crime against maths

      Virgin staff saying ‘ If I were you, I’d make a formal complaint’, “honey”
      is no different fro sating ‘ If I were you, I’d make a formal complaint’, “mate”
      She’s lucky the staff actually spoke English

      To respond to her petty complaint with sarcasm is OK
      but like Michael O’Leary customer service, ie get rid of the stroppy ones by being direct.

    BBC soccer pundit and an active member of “Show Racism The Red Card” called a police officer a ‘white c***’ and wet himself in police car during drink-drive arrest. He pleaded guilty to being twice the legal limit and racially abusing arresting officer PC Gareth Evans during a confrontation in Blackpool last year.

    Not mentioned though: Saudi Arabia has spent billions of dollars in converting parts of Africa to islam over the decades, so likely, most being deported are muslims.

    As for the free-speech issues, some of us have been around this question for a long time. I wrote a whole book about it: Lights Out: Islam, Free Speech And The Twilight Of The West – well worth a read, and I’m happy to autograph it for you. On page 123 I write about Jyllands Posten and the original Motoons:

    The twelve cartoonists are now in hiding. According to the chairman of the Danish Liberal Party, a group of Muslim men showed up at a local school looking for the daughter of one of the artists.

    When that racket starts, no cartoonist or publisher or editor should have to stand alone. The minute there were multimillion-dollar bounties on those cartoonists’ heads, The Times of London and Le Monde and The Washington Post and all the rest should have said, “This Thursday we’re all publishing the cartoons. If you want to put bounties on all our heads, you’d better have a great credit line at the Bank of Jihad. If you want to kill us, you’ll have to kill us all…”

    But it didn’t happen.

    Apparently we’ve all been the subject of lies and deception by the ‘fat is bad for you and causes obesity’ scientists. Now we know it’s sugar wot does it. The helpful commentator on R4 a few mins ago said the epiphany was a bit like… liike… guess what he said it was a bit like.
    Global warming? No.
    “We’ve changed our minds about fat causing obesity because of the lies we fell for – very much like…
    Trump and Brexit”.
    I kid you not. “Trump and Brexit”. They are the same thing remember? Lies pedalled to the knuckle-dragging ‘Populous voters’. The useless-eaters. Perhaps these voters should be vetted? Then rounded up and put into campsites for their own protection from themselves.
    Wife had to placate me in the Honda – “Why do you listen to it darling?” She said. “I don’t know – I turned it up because it was about diet etc and then ‘duetobrexit’ happened right in my face – they sucker-punched me”.

      Regarding fat and sugar etc. surely it is the experts that have changed their minds, we poor plebs just eat when we are hungry or when food is available.

      Perhaps the experts have got it wrong on Brexit, Trump, Global Warming, Mass Immigration, Moderate Islam etc.?

    Never mind the eighty knife murders last year, collapse of Western civilisation et cetera – our noble Beeb is leading with someone who was upset by ‘sexist’ words from Virgin Trains.

    Do we really need our national broadcaster policing language in such dire times?

    They should broaden their definition of fake news to include things that 99% of right-minded people could not give a toss about. You’re upset about being called ‘honey’? Sorry but being upset and offended is just part of life. God, the BBC offends us over and over every day – it is not ‘news’ being offended about something.

    Can the BBC apologise for helping to bring down the greatest civilisation in history through their cultural Marxism?

    An Iranian asylum seeker is already on trial for allegedly raping and killing a 19-year-old student in Freiburg in October last year. He initially claimed to be 16, but his own father told a court he was 33.

      The ‘eye’ just mentions the drink drive offence not the race one – which I find quite an interesting hierarchy because I always thought the liberal thought racial crime was worse than paedophilic and then drink driving or voting for Brexit.

    “Virgin Trains apologises for ‘sexist’ tweet”

    Emily Lucinda Cole was referred to as “honey” by a sarcastic train manager, or as Emily Lucinda Cole puts it: “that hideously patronising word women shudder at”.

    Virgin unhelpfully replied to her complaint asking if she’d prefer “pet” or “love”.

    This is not a news story!

    Can’t this generation get through the day without broadcasting to the world how upset they are by some minor slight?

      Were these people who referred to you in such derogatory terms in possession of a Todger or a Foof? If the former then you just give them a quick Prescott to the chin. If the latter you give them a kiss.
      I have recently discovered the term Foof from reading Katie Hopkins book “Rude” in which she describes her Foof in great detail, to the extent that she informs her readers that her Foof rattles like a bag of Gary Linaker’s cheese and onion when she walks.
      I think she is joking. I think she has a perfectly formed Foof.
      I suppose the term Foof does have better ring to it – so to speak – than say, referring to it as a Jeremy Hunt

    Tanzania’s President John Magufuli has met two musicians whom he pardoned about three weeks ago, despite the fact that they were serving life prison sentences for raping 10 primary schoolgirls in 2003. {bbc.co.uk 02jan2018}

    Nguza Viking, known as Babu Seya, and his son Johnson Nguza, known as Papii Kocha, thanked Mr Magufuli for pardoning them, and sang for him during their visit to State House, Tanzania’s The Citizen newspaper reported.

    It quoted Mr Magufuli as saying:

    You shouldn’t thank me. Rather you should thank God, who is the only one with the power to forgive.”

    Children’s rights activists have condemned the pardon of Viking and Nguza.

    They had served 13 years of their sentence when they were released for raping the 10 girls, aged between six and eight years.

    The two were among 61 prisoners pardoned by the president in his Independence Day speech.

    Mrs S has sedated me and is throwing buckets of water over my head to try and keep me cool, because I’ve just heard what even for the biased BBC is the biggest load of agenda driven shite I’ve heard in a long time.
    On the 6pm tv news. A ‘story’ that Grammar School places have increased in number by 7000 since 2010. Shock. Horror. Something no doubt we have spent all Christmas worrying about.
    This is equivalent apparently to 11 new schools ( err since when are popular secondary schools built for less than 700 pupils?). Apparently, according to the gobshite reporter, there is no demand for this, as numbers of pupils have not gone up.
    You useless, useless, pile of manure !
    Primary schools have had to grow like the clappers and there is a huge bulge coming through. Dare one mention mass immigration of people of child-bearing age? You cannot magic up school places, you useless thickos at the BBC. You have to plan, resource, tender, and build. Allow about 4 years. So you build them ready to be occupied. And, since new Grammar Schools cannot be built, and you have massive oversubscription already you have to incrementally increase. Even ‘sensible’ Labour councils accept this as part of the way to increase overall school places. I know this from direct experience as an absolute fact.
    None of which seems to have occurred to the extreme socialist virtue-signallers in the biased BBC news.
    Truly, madly, deeply, totally pathetic.
