Announce protest actions, general chit chat or give your opinion on issues we haven’t covered for the day.

Moderation rules are more lenient for this section, but try and play nicely.

 

 

Hey everyone, thank you for contacting us with the problems you are having at the moment with posting comments.

While you may be told your message has been trashed or disallowed or denied, they are in fact all remaining on site.

TDB Recommends NewzEngine.com

So please be patient and your comments will turn up.

We are working on the problem and will have a solution soon.

PS -While we are having this discussion about comments, we have always felt moderated comments were a way to go to avoid trolling. The Internet can be a pretty rude place at times so we wanted to try and reduce that.

How would everyone feel about

a) Direct posts to blogs.

b) Moderation after publishing (if we went down this path we would need volunteer moderators).

c) We are going to start clamping down more on personal abuse between commentators and would like to open up thoughts form you the readers about what you would like to see in terms of comments and what the rules should be.

Please leave comments below. Thoughts on what we will do will be published middle of next month.

Cheers TDB Team

    In particular Israel is the only state bordering Syria refusing to a take any refugees fleeing the conflict there.

    And for a long time the Israeli government has been persecuting refugees fleeing the conflicts in Sudan and Eritrea.

    Though the second world war has been long over, the Israeli state has a law called ‘The Right to Return’ in which Israel allows open immigration to those of European ancestry who convert to Judaism, or who can claim Jewish ancestry.

    While Israel gives and even encourages free entry into Israel for (mainly white) American, European and Russian migrants of Jewish Ancestry, and (mainly white) converts to the Jewish faith. Maintaining the racist apartheid state of Israel means refusing entry to genuine refugees from Syria, or the Sudan.
