Their team is a Pakistan/India/West Indies B Team, so yea. :smirk:

Your timing couldn't have been better - orthodox Jews were harassed on the streets of NYC during a protest yesterday by pro-Israel supporters: (Although I’m trying to keep this thread solely to discuss the anti-Palestinian / pro-Israel influence on UK/US politics).

Agreed - will join you on that.

Thought it was worth having a separate discussion, for a few reasons namely a UK general election around the corner and an election year in the US as well. In the US - Post his conviction, Trump is playing up to pro-Israeli billionaires such as Ackman and Adelson, with Adelson in particular...
