Hamas strike on Israel - mod warning in OP updated 19/10/23

There are militant groups based in Pakistan who launch raids in Iran, and I guess Iran are trying to show that if the US, Israel and Turkey can launch cross border strikes so can we

Sorry, I’m confused now as the post I quoted was the one the other poster referenced.

Edit, I see he has now again referenced the same post I did so on this rare occasion I might actually have understood this correctly lol. No doubt next time I will mess up.

Indeed.

Here's some medicine, enjoy it before you starve to death or we blow up you and your kids.

Israel doing their best to create a famine.

We’ve been over this.

Many other people (inc many Gazans) would blame Hamas. See evidence previously posted.

No - you didn't and I know you didn't. But others did. And they know who they are.

There was a rake of posts accusing me of supporting a poster who supported Hamas. Bad faith posters claimed I directly quoted that poster and then linked me to supporting them and therefore Hamas. Those posters then effectively told me to butt out of their conversations - whilst equally feeling privileged to butt into anyone else's conversation of their choosing.

You are not one of them.

"Is it me or is it you?"

As well as the military situation getting worse by the day and other countries getting involved, the legal situation for Israel continues to rack up too.

The fact that all these actions are against Israel is indicative of the rest of world finally waking up to what Israel is doing and saying "enough".

The rest of the world also sees clearly through Israeli lies - "military action is being wound down" vs "Residents of Khan Younis in southern Gaza say they have faced one of the most intense nights of air strikes since the start of Israel's offensive."

And all through this, the civilian population of Gaza suffers - particularly the 10,700 children.

"On February 19 – that is, in a little over a month – the court will once again convene to discuss Israel. The UN General Assembly asked it to do so. The full name of the requested advisory opinion is "Legal Consequences arising from the Policies and Practices of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem.""

And still some posters can't bring themselves to criticise this cretin.

Looking at some of the posts here, should we be worried about certain posters crossings the boarder to the North to rape, mutilate, kill, kidnap, record their crimes and stream them to their supporters? Or do these posters only care about conflicts on the other side of the world?

And, as you know, had Hamas not had a great day out on 7th Oct then the IDF would not be in Gaza.

And that’s the very reason people didn’t vote for Sinn Fein in the republic during the troubles.

They don't need to be in Gaza to kill Gazan civilians:

April 2018

"Israeli soldiers opened fire on a gathering of thousands near the border between Gaza and Israel, ultimately killing 18 Palestinians and reportedlywounding some 700 more. The demonstration was organized to mark "Land Day," an annual commemoration of Palestinian civil resistance, and video evidence has since emerged indicating that at least some of the protestors gunned down from a distance on Friday were either carrying no weapons or actively fleeing—or both."

And if the IDF couldn't get their kicks in Gaza, they have always been able to sate their thirst for killing in the West Bank or watching on as the Jewish Settlers killed civilians to steal their land.

You do know that it didn't begin on Oct 7th though. Over 50,000 Palestinians had died at the hands of Israel in the years after 1947, many murdered just for being Palestinian and long before Hamas existed.

If you're alleging I said something I never said, why wouldn't I "butt in"?

That's because you did though - it wasn't a case of two posters discussing you, and lying about you.

Big difference.

And BTW, there's no problem with you joining in a discussion. The thing was that you seem to have misunderstood what the conversation had been about, and went off on a bizarre side track.

And then took it thick when your misunderstanding was pointed out to you.

And here we still are.

For those who counteract any argument in favour of Palestinians in Gaza with:

"They voted for Hamas and therefore are Hamas"

You might read this for a balanced perspective:

"The 2019 Gaza economic protests, also called the We Want to Live protests[4][2][1] and the 14th March movement,[2] were a series of protests held in the Gaza Strip in response to high costs of living and tax hikes. 

The protests were met with violence by the ruling Hamas, which dispatched security forces to disperse protesters.[4] Several human rights organisations and political factions have denounced attacks on protesters by Hamas security forces.[4] The protests were described as the most severe anti-regime protests in Gaza since the Hamas takeover in 2007.[2]"
