Do you know that Hitler was a vegetarian? You've got to laugh. Exactly why I would never vote Green. Do you know that Hitler was a vegetarian? You’ve got to laugh.

In Gaza his life, if he was allowed one would be miserable beyond belief. In Tel-Aviv he would be free, to march, to go to any bar he wished. Make your mind up Peter, Islamofacism or Social Democracy. What the hell is up with the guy. In Gaza his life, if he was allowed one would be miserable beyond belief.

Shmuel I agree with you that his comment about antisemitism on Harry's Place was patronising and arrogant.

What does he want a medal? Look at him on Harry Place yesterday, arrogantly telling Jews who they are and aren't allowed to consider anti-semitic. Sorry Chaz but Tatchell is an asshole.

Look at him on Harry Place yesterday, arrogantly telling Jews who they are and aren’t allowed to consider anti-semitic.

Sorry Chaz but Tatchell is an asshole.

However, it's hypothetical in the sense that he believes that the best thing would be for Israelis and Palestinians to put aside their differences and form one single secular liberal state. He recognises though that it's down to both sides to agree to such a thing, and that it shouldn't be forced - and that in the meantime, leftists should support those on both sides who campaign in favour of a two-state solution. While his rhetoric might be a touch off at times, unlike many on his side of the political spectrum (esp. given how far left he is), he has no time for Hamas at all.
