BBC News - Dawn French says sorry for posting 'one-sided' Gaza video https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cgmjdpme470o Dreading what's going to be said by some of the Glastonbury performers. MP Rosie Duffield commented on Oberman's post, writing: "One can, and should hate what is happening in Gaza and also condemn the hideous events of October 7th. "It is agonising to see events unfold, and requires extremely careful, measured and well-considered comments and actions. This is not that." Quite.

Well, without unbiased commentary coming out of Gaza, thanks to political interference and restrictions by both sides, it's really hard to put together an unbiased report. The problem with walking the middle ground is that you become a target for both sides. 1

I'm waiting to see how far they can sink and move towards a watered down Nazism by the end of his term. I never thought you were that old... 1

Dawn French, a former "celebrity" (always overshadowed by Jennifer Saunders) makes a statement that should not have been posted. She comes across as ignorant but, is she wrong? Tracey Ann Oberman, herself Jewish, is bound to have an opposite opinion. And be supportive of the actions of the IDF and Nethanyu. Is she wrong? I believe so. Unfortunately there's going to be plenty said by other minor artists at Glasto and elsewhere, trying to make a mark in the media. Edited 7 June 2025 by Parafox

Do you actually mean to suggest all Jews support their spiritual homeland wiping out the whole of Palestine in their name? Because if you do I'm sure that you are wrong. I'm certain there are many Jews and Israelis who are appalled by what Netanyahu is doing. 3

The First Amendment to the United States Constitution protects fundamental freedoms, including freedom of religion, speech, the press, assembly, and the right to petition the government. It was ratified in 1791 as part of the Bill of Rights.
