Comments by "Tony England" (@TonyEnglandUK) on "THROWBACK: Hitchens Vs Galloway On Islamic Extremism" video.

  1.  MCVE  You referred to Christopher Hitchens as "a twit". What's your next move, referring to Mike Tyson as "a feminist"?

  2.  MCVE  By all means disapprove of his politics, his sexuality, or what he says. But Hitchens was no "twit" and you know he wasn't.

  3.  Juanito G  Since the year 2000, Israel has killed sixteen-times as many Palestinian children as the other way around. Sixteen-times as many. Your get-out-of-jail-free card of using the term "antisemitic" has become as impotent as your comment.

  4.  @thebeast2746  Reagan and Haig also discussed aiding Argentina win the Falklands War. They discussed giving Argentina secret British intentions of the invasion of Goose Green. The next time you see an Exocet missile hitting H.M.S. Sheffield, remember to thank Alexander Haig.

  5.  @garymorgan3314  Loved him or hated him - Christopher Hitchens was a highly intelligent man.

  6.  @ahok123  Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Please post yours that Hitchens was "paid well to advertise the wars by the west"

  7.  @TheDickPuller  Galloway exposes the behaviour of Israel to a Western world whose news is literally owned, run and broadcast by Israel supporters. I can see why you might be afraid of him.

  8. ​ Walter De wit  Since September 29, 2000 there have been 134 Israeli children killed by Palestinians. And 2,167 Palestinian children killed by Israelis.

  9.  Juanito G  Of course they're not Hamas responsibility, that's a cheap get-out-of-jail-free card used by Israel and its supporters to try and excuse killing sixteen-times as many children as the people you oppose.

  10.  Juanito G  "Morally equivalent." You just said "so what?" to the fact Israel has killed over two thousand children in 18 years. And you're claiming a higher-morality by saying "so what?".

  11.  Juanito G  "Israel does not aim to kill children." Israel has a long - and frankly disgusting - history of using Palestinian children, including tying Palestinian kids to their tanks, forcing 9 year old Palestinian children to open suspect packages, sending handcuffed 7 year olds into houses while IDF soldiers crouched behind them resting their rifles on the childs shoulders, according to Israeli defense officials, the Israel Defense Forces made use of the "human shield" procedure on 1,200 separate occasions. You may want to study the Geneva Convention a little deeper.

  12.  @nogthedervish  ok, you just typed 5000 more words and none of them contained any hard-evidence at all. Don't make assertions without evidence.

  13.  @nogthedervish  In all those words you've typed, I still haven't seen a shred of evidence to back up the claim "Hitchens was "paid well to advertise the wars by the west"" which was the original request. This is what worries me about any political or religious claims, they're rarely told to pause to substantiate themselves via cold hard evidence.

  14.  Juanito G  Israel's record of using children as human-shields is every bit as bad as the Palestinians. Both sides are as bad as each other.

  15.  Juanito G  What an absolutely dumb argument. Let's forget murder, rape, manslaughter and all the other crimes, after all, a Grandmother just got hit by a bus. Get real for goodness sake.

  16.  Juanito G  Not all child deaths in the conflict are from "human shields". Look, you'd make excuses for Israel killing 16 times as many children until the excuses fit your morality. You really ought to be doing things the other way around. Then maybe your morality would be higher than saying "so what?." Let's agree to disagree, have a great day.

  17.  Juanito G  Indeed. In the 2008-2009 Gaza War, Operation "Cast Lead", a 9 year old girl was tied to the front of an Israeli tank to deter attacks from Palestinians. Her 13 year old brother was made to walk in front of IDF soldiers. Amnesty International called the acts "war crimes" by the Israeli Defence Force. Israel Defense Forces themselves filed indictments against two staff sergeants of the Givati Brigade for forcing a 9-year-old Palestinian boy to work for them at rifle point, instructing him to open a number of bags they thought might contain explosives. The IDF's internal investigation happened only after the incidents were discovered by the United Nations. Both Israeli Staff Sergeants were found guilty.

  18.  Juanito G  You're new to the Israel-Palestine conflict, aren't you? A United Nations human rights body accused Israeli forces in June 2013 of "continuous use of Palestinian children as human shields and informants", voicing with deep concern 14 such cases had been reported between January 2010 and March 2013. It says almost all accused soldiers involved in the incidents have gone unpunished

  19.  Juanito G  The Euro-Mid Observer for Human Rights published testimony that, during the 2014 Gaza War, Israeli soldiers used Palestinian children as shield in Khuza'a. A family, that also gave a video interview, recorded by Media Town, told the group that Israeli soldiers had killed the family's patriarch, a 65-year-old who was carrying a white flag, and proceeded to place family members, including children as young as four, by the house's windows and shoot from behind them. A UN official said that Israel used a school in Gaza as a military base which resulted in the death of eleven Palestinian children aged between 8 and 14.

  20.  Juanito G  Go back to typing "Yes but people get killed in road accidents, so what?", this subject is way out of your intellectual depth. I'll leave you to enjoy the video, Juanito G, have a great day.

  21.  Juanito G  lol just admit you got proven wrong and now you're desperately backtracking because you were proven wrong. Look, you don't sound very intelligent with all due respect, and even if you witnessed the IDF using children with your own eyes, you'd make an excuse for it, so let's just move on, have a great day.

  22.  Juanito G  lol I knew you weren't very intelligent but oh my goodness me, get an adult to read my post out to you. The Israeli Defence Force probably isn't anti-Israel, you moron. Their own internal inquiry found the two IDF Staff Sergeants guilty. I'll let you get back to your colouring books now before you reply and say "lol, the Israeli Defence Forze iz anti-smeitcic didntt ya now?"

  23.  Juanito G  I just realised that you're possibly only a kid yourself, if you are, I suggest you read into the atrocities of both sides, not just the side that suits your belief system best. And that really is my last word, I hope you enjoy the video.

  24.  Juanito G  When the police were called to the fight at the donut-store, do you think they just broke up the fight?

  25.  @nogthedervish  Post something a little more definite than that, won't you. With respect, there's a lot of claim and very little evidence in that post.

  26.  @nogthedervish  I dispute the claim "he was just paid well to advertise the wars by the west." because so far no hard evidence has been placed to back up that claim. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
