Yep. She also said that women have had stones thrown at them for not dressing modestly etc.

Always amazed at how some people single out Islamic extremists as the worst, as if they don't realise how Jewish and Christian extremists behave, their attitude to women and LGBT folk and what they'll do to grab land they believe they have a divine right to.

Maybe it's because the other two haven't really carried out mass casualty terror attacks in Western capitals in recent years. Not that Christian extremists haven't tried mind you

I've seen video of women being harassed (spitting at them) in Williamsburg (NYC). I don't think its common, but that element exists in many places.

Here's a thing. One line has been that Saturday's events were intended to scupper any chance of the Saudi-Israel deal sticking. This report says otherwise, that earlier this year, an Israeli refusal to make any pro-Palestinian concessions had already shot down the deal.

AFAIK, this Times of Israel isn't the most reliable of media outlets, but it's quoting a Saudi paper, so. . .
Israel denies report Saudis suspending normalization talks over Palestinian issue
Saudi-owned site says hardline Netanyahu government's refusal to make concessions to Palestinians at heart of decision to pull away; Israeli, US officials say it's untrue

I went back to the Ukraine thread from 2014 around the time of the Union Building fire, as well as the Odessa massacre specific thread and I'm not sure it was quite as you described.
There were plenty of comments from Casually Red calling on Putin to send in the tanks, some nonsense from Kesher about how RT is a perfectly good source, (he subsequently got banned for being a nonce), a funny comment from Camouflage who sarcastically made fun of those who thought Adolf Putin was cooking it all up as a scheme to grab Ukrainian territory, some really bizarre stuff from spartacuslove (also since banned) denying the existence of Ukraine as a country at all and theorising that WW2 was one big Zionist conspiracy, all amidst a whole lot of sterling work from butchersapron and frogwoman (among others) demonstrating the prevalence of fascists on the anti-Maidan, pro-Russia side as well as within the ranks of Azov etc.
If anything has changed, it's almost totally been for the better.

Yep. Although not that the republicans aren't trying but I doubt this element has been emboldened in the US quite to the extent it has in parts of Israel. There are places where women and men have to walk on separate sides of the street and on separate parts of buses ffs. And quite a few incidents where fundamentalist men have spat on little girls going to school.

Not only was this woman made to change seats but was told by staff that a delay to the flight would be her fault.

No. Although they did attempt attempt to occupy one. Arguably... Nature of extremist violence in the US probably not really a fruitful topic for this thread. But there is a tendency to ignore Christian violence, or to no true Scotsman it etc.

Beit Shemesh: Haredim invade girls' school
Dozens of ultra-Orthodox men protest relocation of state-religious school to building located within their neighborhood. 'This is a battle for city's identity,' one of them says, while religious residents accuse mayor of 'giving in to zealots'
Fundamentalists break into a girls' school in protest at its location in their neighbourhood

Anyway yeah as parts of the US are for women's rights I can't imagine the US state appeasing or out and out supporting this behaviour in the same way as what's happened in parts of Israel. Not that republicans haven't tried but it's on a different scale imo (currently)

I'm assuming this is Banksy? He did a lot of graffiti art in Palestine..Anyone know? I saw it on an Italian anti war site.
Saw videos of that...I naively thought "maybe spitting means something different there".

This must be a reference to that "Boy in the Striped Pajamas" bullshit-fest. I don't know if it's Banksy or not, but whoever it is, he's not helping.

Well there's also the whole ISIS thing isn't there. I'd say the potential is probably there in any religious group but the others would have to go some to catch up right now - it's not just ignorance that might currently see Islamic extremism as particularly violent right now.

There are still a few tankies around. What is your narrative of preference with regard to this issue?

The official Prime Minister of Israel twitter account has just posted decapitated baby photos, presumably since so many people insisted on denying it like the inverse of an anti-semitic canard. So well done to those people for moving the public discourse to here.

So that wasn't a conspiracy theory? Or he's even more appalling a human being than thought possible?

At the end of the day it is only within Israel's gift to end this. Palestinians with their own homeland, without lives ruled by Kafkaesque strictures, with many fewer in poverty... they'd tell warmongers like Hamas where to go if they had better lives. All this misery & death is for nothing.
Obviously it's not quite that simple but all the same how about trying something that's never been attempted yet? Seriously.

The aftermath of Israel's siege of Gaza won't be pretty either, but don't expecting Bibi to be tweeting pics of that.

Israeli police arrest five for hostile gestures towards Christians
