Israel/Palestine Thread

As one might expect, the Israel, US and its' close 'vassal' states voted against resolution condemning Israel.

What is interesting is that , of EU members, Hungary also voted against. ( and I think it was an Hungarian Commissioner who originally suspended aid to Palestine only for his actions to be called out ) . And also Czechia abstained.

All other EU states seem to have supported the resolution.

Malta to table emergency vote at the security council to be held on Sunday, totally shameful it has got to this point

So the rapes accusations have been dropped, the 40 babies beheaded babies gone and now further proof that the most wanton destruction caused on the day was caused by the IDF. In one way it's not a surprise that an army that's famously trigger happy would be any more restrained with it's own citizens than with the Palestinians. The old "Kill 'em all and lot God sort them out" policy.

Don't put terrorist HQ under a hospital?

We can no longer pretend than none of the 'ordinary' Palestinians and authorities in Gaza and hospital directors etc. did not know that Hamas HQ is downstairs in their hospital. 'We thought they were all just medical rockets'.

If you do choose to use children as human shields and your plan is to sacrifice as many as possible for more PR, then I suppose a hospital is the 'best' place for Hamas HQ.

How many kids will die today in the war Hamas started? It's not easy but between Gaza and Israel they have somehow managed to make the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank look like the moderate, calm, voice of reason amid this madness.

We need to see. Maybe they got Al Qaida in to build another one for them.

Reports on sky news now are 39 babies have died after electricity was cut off and they ran of fuel. The babies were on ventilators so couldn't be moved. Dosent matter if there is HQ there or not. You had Hamas depravity and now you have IDF depravity. Absolutely sickening. Those babies, like the ones Hamas killed had no part in this.

Sky news corrected it saying the babies are now in immediate danger. So thankfully not dead. Yet. No one can leave the hospital due to snipers. Crazy

Well there's the ongoing civil war in Yemen in which most casulties are kids, and of course what Turkey is doing to the Kurds, but no-one seems to give a flying **** about either conflict on boards for whatever reason.

No, they might be younger, but for sure they're not healthier, or lead longer lives'. The amount of illness's "available" in hot climates is staggering. And those 20 public hospitals here in Ireland are failing to cope with the health problems we now have, and one of these problems is the number of tropical illnesses now presenting at those same hospital's. Try travelling to these Country's, and just have a look at the type of vaccinations required, and what diseases they prevent. And remember also, we don't have a war like situation that has existed in Palestine since 1948, with all the health / injury problems that brings.

Sounds like hundreds of football hooligans have come out of retirement today in London to disrupt the march. They are all for cracking a few skulls of people wanting to protest against genocide and hospital bombing those lads.

The other issue with the deflection and whataboutery of naming all these other conflicts is they don't purport to be something they are not. Yemen doesn't try to pretend they are a pluralist democracy, a bastion for human and LQTBQ rights, same for Iran, Saudi, Pakistan and any of the other countries I have not the slightest plan of living in. They also don't expect to be judged the same as western countries with our values. That's why Israel draws everyone's ire, they claim they are like us but act just like them. Israel needs to change it's marketing slogan to "European, right wing religious colony in the Middle East". It's a mouthful but at least it's honest.

Changing definition to suit argument pass
