It's food, water, medicine etc... So no, it wasn't war materials to be used by Hamas.

It's not shameful, it's a war crime. How can you not understand that?

You have evidence of war crimes committed by Israel and just ignore them, dismiss them, downplay them.

It's a tiny area, with 2.5 million people in it. You expect Hamas to find a field somewhere and sit in it waiting for an Israeli missile?

Israel just use the human shield thing as a way to try and avoid condemnation over civilian casualties. It's an incredibly densely populated area and they are dropping 500lb bombs on it.

The Palestinians abducted a German girl, raped and brutalised her and paraded her around Gaza on the back of a truck. Are you for real?

This is cool, Israel is going to turn the north into a big tomb and wait for their fuel and electricity to run out. The Israeli army wont even have to fight them, its also good that it wont create big trigger points for ejaculation, it could end up being boringly brilliant.

Tunnel update:

I'm listening to David D. on Spaces explaining that Israel is pumping purple smoke into tunnels and bombing wherever the purple comes up elsewhere.

Doesn't make me wonder at all. The Palestinians support Hamas, they overwhelming voted them in. The Palestinians are Muslims and they follow Sharia which makes you, me and the Jews all Kaffirs.

Sorry, all Muslims believe that, they don't pick and choose like catholics. What stops them doing it is many don't live in Muslim majority countries so the can't enact it.

No they didn't.

Obviously not. What I am suggesting is you claiming 1400 “civilians” were murdered is incorrect and especially hypocritical given you made the claim in a post claiming figures for Palestinian civilian deaths were unreliable.

Again you fling accusations around with zero to back them up.

The numbers I've quoted are those quoted by Israeli television.

Of course there are war crimes being committed. Leaving aside the bombing of civilians and the disingenuous hiding behind proportionality, ordering a civilian population to flee and providing no resources to sustain them in the proposed location is most definitely a war crime. Not only that but blocking access to basic necessities is almost definitely a war crime so stop with the Lilly livered excuses . You are fooling nobody and coming off as a thug

anotherfinemess · 31-10-2023 08:47AM

The Hamas attack on the Israelis was horrific and deserves condemnation . The Israeli response is a continuation of their policy of ethnic cleansing decided upon in 1948. Murdering children by aerial bombardment is not something any of us should be supporting.

I fully agree with President Higgins'remarks on this subject. Also two of our MEPs, Clare Daly and Mick Wallace, have made speeches against the ethnic cleansing which contrast strongly with the ungodly attitude which seemingly prevails in the EU Parliament, as so inappropriately expressed without authority by U. Von Der Lying. It's all made me question wether we should be in this club of EU warmongers at all.

I gave you an answer. You've given me something that manages to be both a rant and a cliche filled inanity.

I just read Israeli delegates at the UN are now going to wear a star of David similar to those worn by Jews in Nazi concentration camps.

Years ago when I first learned about the illegal Israeli occupation it perplexed me how the people who suffered so much at the hands of the Nazis were forcing Palestinians to live in camps, in the most densely populated area on Earth, described often as an open air prison.

Israelis are all too quick to label any one who disagrees with them an anti-semite or a Nazi, all the while they are responsible for the nearly six decade long illegal occupation, and the suffering of the Palestinians. This latest theatre with the star, or the war mongering or bible quoting words of Strong Man Netanyahu or his generals, while committing crimes against humanity, collective punishment, and expansion of their occupation, and killing a child in Gaza every 10 minutes (as per BBC today), is more of the same hypocrisy.

None of Israel's actions justify the genocide carried out by Hamas October 7, but as the UN Secretary General put it in recent days we must recognise this did not occur in a vacuum, and Palestine has been subject to a 56 year long illegal occupation.

They won 15 districts compared to 6 for Fatah in Gaza , 33 compared to 11 in west bank that is an overwhelming majority. When you combine Gaza and west bank they won 74 seats compared to 45. In any political system that is an overwhelming majority considering there are only 133 seats in the parliament. They are democratically elected in free and fair elections.

They are a shower of hideous ****. I feel bad for the holocaust victims, as if they didn't suffer enough - their names being used in the manner in which it is to justify widescale murder of innocents by a group of pschyopathic despots. Evil has truly reached top levels of the Israeli diplomatic chain.

Went through this lie of yours when you brought it up on this thread some weeks past. Your understanding of the leadup to the 6 days war and followups is based on whatever BDS feed you're sucking at. Get over it.

Ireland is choked with champagne socialists sticking far harder to the socialist credo then any Irish catholic ever stuck to Archbishop McQuaid.

Part of that is hating the Jews and if you look at the Jewish people who were butchered on Oct 7 and their families and see them as some kind of non-humans then it’s remarkably easy to ignore what happened while all the while preaching love and peace.

140 years a go a Russian Jewish man in England founded a shop. Pro Palestinian Fash protest at the shop because that taint is still there.

Is this the same UN who couldn't pass a vote condemning Hamas and the October 7 attacks ........ ?

Enough said .

Israel should withdraw from the UN .

UN is an anti- semitic shite show and not fit for purpose ........

An absolute disgrace to the memory and honour of the victims of Nazism and the holocaust.

Every single time I come in to this thread, it seems like there's a post claiming people have no sympathy for the Israelis who died on Oct 7th, or that there are many Hamas supporters here.

I have seen evidence of neither. I feel at this point it is being said by people who know how wrong Israel is for its current actions and are looking to absolve them of blame.

I remember when the war on terror was launched in 2003, millions of people world wide marched against it and yet it went ahead with military hawks telling us on pundit shows that it was necessary and collateral damage would be minimized and so on and so on and so on.

All lies, as history can attest.

All that is ahead for the inhabitants of Israel and the Palestine, is death. And pain. And suffering.

It is so incredibly depressing to see so many of the political class become flag wearers for Israel as they look to carry out a genocide. The western world will be dealing with the repercussions of this for decades.

The human race needs to be working together to deal with the climate crisis, instead, we are moving further apart. Very depressing.

This thread is getting sillier by the day. People are trying very hard to make it a simplistic Pro Israel v Anti Israel argument with a dollop of anti semitism to spice it up. I see it as a Unrestrained Revenge v Restraint argument in response to the Oct7 attrocity but I also wish we were discussing long term solutions. When the revenge group get annoyed with trivial facts like high civilian death tolls and immense human suffering, they lash out and accuse the other side of weird things like loving sick/twisted Hamas terrorists and hating Jews. I hoped for a while that it would get less polarised as people realised the futility of this endless conflict but the opposite was the case. The total revenge side will disregard everything including the UN and International aid agencies to stick to their blinkered narrative. Even when the PM says stupid stuff, we are told he is not in charge. Pointless stuff.
