Laying a wreath kills or maims nobody
IT IS oft quoted that the first victim of war is the truth.
That there is currently an ongoing war against Jeremy Corbyn, initially by the PLP, which failed ignominiously (twice), now by the mass media – of this few, if any, can have a shred of doubt.
Jeremy Corbyn attended an international event in Tunis in 2014, the purpose of which was to attempt to find a peace solution in the Middle East – something the elected government studiously avoids. He also attended a wreath-laying ceremony in a cemetery and laid a wreath himself.
Question: how many wreaths, wherever they are laid in good faith, have actually killed, maimed or disfigured anyone?
In the summer of 2014 a neighbouring country of Palestine bombed Gaza. Of the resulting dead, it was reported that 495 rising to 551 were children. International reports confirmed that “the scale and devastation was unprecedented” – 2,252 Palestinians killed, 65% of whom were civilians.
The perpetrators of these actions are now demanding that Jeremy Corbyn apologise for his actions; whilst no-one is asking the UK Government to apologise for supplying Saudi Arabia with the weapons and hence the ability to bomb a bus in Yemen that killed 40 children returning from a picnic.
Strike a comparison between the action of wreath-laying and the mass slaughter of a nation.
