‘We won’t leave’: Armenians in Jerusalem push back against armed settlers

Wow Tam
Another World Exclusive from the neutral Al Jezera. Better than The National's blurb I suppose.
Might as well believe the Hamas lies. Tell me, do you believe this crap, or are you just looking for a reaction.

Not al-Jazeera exclusive, widely reported by many news outlets, the real deal.

I'm not going to believe it until I read it in The Guardian.

I'm pleased that Douglas Murray has some sort of opinion on the plight of the Armenian diaspora.

Tam, there's absolutely no denying that the Armenians have been systematically abused as a race since the Muslim Ottoman Empire decided the Christians should be eradicated.
I will admit my initial response to your post was rather too robust.
Quite amusing to see obviously Muslim people decrying the West as colonist devils but totally deny the spread of Islam was by peoples who visited the desert and really wanted to clean their asses with sand, not by invasion and beheading.
I will admit to being an admirer of Mr. Murray. Not his lifestyle but his intellect and way of thinking.
Imagine having the audacity to show Muslims screaming rape their wives and daughters and the good old non political police removing posters showing Israeli hostage's photos from walls in London. Wonder if Laxley Lennon would be a free man if he did this.

Douglas Murray is an incisive commentator. I like his earlier stuff, as it is very insightful with remarkably balanced presentation. His more recent offerings, not so much.
