7 December (Part 2) - The important word is ‘Permanent’
At
first I thought that the Bexley Labour Group had sent me a sort of Press
Release on a subject which seems to have divided my friends and acquaintances,
but on closer inspection I see it comes from an outfit that goes by the name of
‘Bexley Labour Left’ which I find slightly confusing with its implication that
there is a Right Wing in Bexley Labour.
But to the point… they are “calling for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, Israel and the West Bank as
the only way to stop the deaths of more innocent men, women and children further
to the thousands of Israeli and Palestinian civilians who’ve already lost their lives”.
As someone who for no particular reason has
always had Jewish friends I think I
can go along with that but can we rely on a terrorist group to honour it?
History suggests that is never going to happen and will that group abandon their
avowed aim of eradicating Israel from the map?
But there is no harm in asking for “all hostages should be released”.
If you agree then maybe a trip to Abbey Wood Road
SE2 (not to be confused with Abbey
Road, Belvedere) is in order? But it’s not for me, I have an appointment in Richmond on Saturday afternoon.
I’ve not been able to find this call for a Palestinian ceasefire on the web so I
have created this cheap substitute here.
