Israel/Palestine Thread

You see Hamas don’t see all Israelis as innocent.

Military conscription is mandatory is Israel, everyone is a target in their eyes.

Hamas won’t be finished after all this, Israel know this.

Of course they are different interpretations of all religious texts, a trope would actually be attempting to portray Islam in it's correct form - following all the steps in the IKEA manual if you will - as a hate filled repressive religion. The Qur'an has problematic paragraph's, in the Medinan verses to be specific contrasted with the Meccan verses but if you can show me a religious text that is free from problematic parts I would be amazed.

All of these works of fiction were written in a different world pretty much, some written over the course of decade's, by various contributers and then were edited and rewritten as time went on.

That's a very strong accusation and isn't justified.

Opposing the idea of a Jewish state based on Zionism is not anti-Semitic. I don't disagree with there being a Jewish state based on race, I object to it on a political and ideological basis. That's not racism as I'm not motivated by hatred or prejudice against Jewish people. Not once have I expressed bigotry or hatred towards Jewish people.

That's not right Roshane. I am sure you will also agree that Israel paying benefits to Israeli terrorists like Irgun was wrong also . Also you will be condemning any soliders that are found to be complicit in these attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank and wanting to see them charged and dismissed from the IDF . As we know the IDF comes down heavy on transgressors within its own ranks. Oh wait....

how is israel suppose to deal with people who slaughter hundreds at a concert like the electric picnic .. and kidnap hundreds of innocent people?

give them teddy bears and make them cups of tea ..

we need to get real here hamas have shown themselves to be barbaric terrorists like ISIS .. is the general consensus that rabid dogs need to be put down so they cant cause massive destruction again correct or should israel set hamas free to cause carnage and slaughter again?

or is there some other way

It's not a good week for Biden, it's a great week for Biden.

You have to remember he's a President running for reelection first and foremost. And, in that context, he's had a good week while his rivals have had a terrible week.

Everything is political.

Then you look at the trees with no damage blast or otherwise then realise no that didn't happen either

So the solution is to wipe Palestine out entirely? Cause that's the approach Israel is following and it will just end up radicalizing future generations for decades to come.

Adorable people are still tryna fall for the Hamas rubbish.

Nobody has suggested cups of tea, teddy bears or setting Hamas free.

They are contained with the Gaza Strip. Israel can and should defend its border. We've all seen the reports of people being killed for approaching the border over the years. And yet they let terrorists breach the border in multiple locations?

The IDF is a highly skilled and advanced military force. Defending a 40km border should be a piece of piss.

Then over time take out Hamas members as and when the opportunity arises. The number of attacks on Gaza is hugely disproportionate to the number that are claimed to have resulted in the death of X figure in Hamas.

“for the retaliation they have forced the Israelis to inflict on Gaza in reprisal.”

The same type of people asking if the Palestinians had no agency now explaining how Israelis have none.

We could use your circular logic to blame the Israelis for the retaliatory attack the Palestinians were forced to undertake against them on October 7th. And on and on and on.

Retaliation is just another word for revenge.

If they are sworn to defend people, how did they let so many terrorists through the border on October 7th?

On the topic of media, just watching Sky News for a couple of minutes there. Covering the situation and then break to their weather report supported by Qatar Airways, the state owned airline of Qatar. Qatar who provide shelter for the leaders of Hamas...
