Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Should other Haringey residents give Local MPs their personal views on the Gaza Tragedy?
I've begun composing letters to our local MPs David Lammy and Catherine West about today's BBC news on Gaza and linked issues. I suggest that other HoL members consider writing or emailing independently with their own personal messages, with their thoughts and feelings on the topic.
To be precise the news item I listened to also referred to the expected visit to London of the President of Israel. It reported too, on a massive leaflet drop on Gaza City calling on all residents to move south to a supposed "safe" area. Despite this news bulletin describing the lack of water and food there. Also reports from a few Gaza City residents that they have family members physically unable to move.
That news bulletin also included "experts" who claimed that Israel was not practising genocide. And that the Israeli Attack Forces were targeting buildings and not people.
To be fair to the BBC's own journalist, she did press hard on these various "expert" claims.

How you can justify this?
Someone who deems The Guardian outside of its arts section as credible and authoritative is someone who is an unserious person and, quite often, and ignoramous.

Hello Mark Michaels. But I don't understand the meaning of the comment you posted earlier. Please help me out - or if you want to accept another way to of saying it - assume I am an unserious person and an ignoramus.
The Guardian reprinted some data on civilian deaths in Gaza, sourced from the Israeli Government. Was that data from a specialist Department of unserious statisticians and ignoramuses? A second report about the shooting of two Palestinian brothers appears based on a careful and complex investigation, Are the two snipers ingnorant? Or is it the two brothers?
Or perhaps its their grieving family members who are unserious?Or maybe you think the whole scenario belongs in the Guardian Arts Section as a play acted out on the streets of Gaza and which everyone concerned should now stand up and take a bow?
Or am I being absurdly unserious in the extreme and failing to see an obvious factual reality? That whatever supposed facts and or evidence are offered you prefer to dismiss in favour of an interpretation which supports the Israeli Government - Come what may? If that's your plain honest truth then I'd welcome hearing it from you yourself in print here.
