Re: Manchester terrorist attack.

From what has been reported so far this is a clear anti-Semitic terror attack on Jewish people just because they are Jewish.

It is tragic and disgusting.

It is also a gift to the Israeli government, Starmer and Badenoch, and all the Israeli cheerleaders in the UK and elsewhere.

The continuing mass murders in Gaza weren't getting any MSM coverage anyway - already displaced by the 'Trump plan' although brought back into focus by the flotilla.

But now the media attention will all be on the Manchester atrocity.

You should've stopped after your second line. The rest of it just makes you sound more disappointed about what this will mean.

I think what jon is saying is that all of those he mentioned will use this murderous situation as a way of justifying what is happening in Palestine. Jon's views are sincere, the people's that he mentioned aren't. RIP to those that were murdered. It's sickening.

I am disgusted by the attack.

I am disappointed (too tame a word) by the way it is being used by Netanyahu and his echoes.

He was out there within minutes to suggest that recognition of a Palestinian state and opposition to genocide contributed to what happened in Manchester.

Do you have a problem with holding two thoughts in your head at once? Or is it that thinking about another 45 victims in Gaxa on the same day as thinking about the victims in Manchester is (what?) disrespectful?

I was commenting on the media coverage and the political exploitation of the event. Sorry if that offends you.

I wasn't offended. (You seem a bit touchy, mind). I was pointing out your obvious disappointment and derisive comments about gifts and "Israeli cheerleaders". People have been killed in another terrorist attack in this country. What do you think the media is going to focus on on the day of the event?

The media are of course focussing on the events - but they are also giving major coverage to the 'political response' where Netanyahu and Sa'ar are prominent. The media are able (in their own way) to combine attention to a terrorist attack with the way domestic and international politicians have responded. As this is a football message board and not a condolence book, maybe we can do the same?
