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

Victim blaming much, and highly likely racially motivated as well.
she traveled to the west bank which is not israel, to protest the illegal occupation of that area and all other areas outside israel that are not and never will be israel, which are in fact another states land.
she was both a peace activist and innocent civilian, she got in no clash but was simply slaughtered by a force which has a similar mentality to isis in terms of their extremist beliefs.
so nope wrong, not play stupid games win stupid prizes, as the game was not stupid.
this will stop, slowly but surely the people of the world are turning away from israel because they have had enough of the hypocracy, the excuses and lies from it's government and spokes people.
not to mention the feeling of it having a special status where it can do whatever it likes and there will be no consequences.
it is only the politicians keeping this whole issue going.
and lets be clear, the IDF are just as bad as any gihadi group, they are just as capable of, and have been doing and are, slaughtering left right and centre in the name of religion and self entitlement.

We knew this was coming especially with them paving a road across gaza a few months ago.

It did start on October 7th. That's when this current war started . The Islamists in Gaza broke into Israel and started murdering and raping.

Its good to see that road being built in Gaza to help control it. Philadelphia corridor has to be controlled aswell .

Interesting study and report sent into Tim Davie about the anti Israel Bias in the BBC. It's all there as plain as day. Downplaying Hamas and October 7th.. Wild accusations against Israel. It's all coming out and the BBC will be held somewhat to account. Its presenters and international editor Jeremy Bowen have been heavily criticised for being biased.

RTE is much more Anti Israel. Will a similar report be done? Is it's editorial team held to account. Irish media has to be the most hostile anti Israel media in Europe.

It's the national broadcasters job to be impartial and report the facts. The BBC and RTE are packed full of anti Israel journalists. Youd have to turn on American news or German news to get the 'other ' side. Where's Dana Elrich.. they used to pretend to be balanced and bring her on occasionally. She's a great ambassador. Very fair and tries to explain to Ireland that backing the Jihadists is not the right thing to do. Ireland can't really be that worried about civilians because there was very little said about the Syrian civilians or the Yemeni civilians. It's all anti Israel stuff.

October 7th was the war crime . The murder,rape and burnings. The only issue I can see that the Israelis are doing differently is hitting terrorists when they are embedded among civilians. That in itself is not a war crime if the military goal can be shown to be greater than the loss of civilian life . Hard to prove that. So if 5 Hamas planners are in among 40 or 50 civilians then they can be all neutralised if there is evidence that the Palestinian terrorists were planning or about to execute something big.

The wild accusations that Israel is committing 'genocide' everytime civilians get killed in Gaza. That's as Wild as it gets and it's not correct .

Sky News being very Anti-Israel today highlighting that OP attacked a refugee camp near Khan Younis. Entire families have been blown to bits in a strike that left a crater 3m deep. 40 dead and 60 injured.

Given that north of 80% of them are Hamas supporters, this must make at least 32 dead terrorists including some of those terrorist toddlers.

On a related note, saw footage of a man yesterday putting cloth into the skull of a terrorist toddler to keep it together for burial as its brain had been blown out, obviously can't post that here.

The toddler was alleged to have been "killed" but the perpetrators haven't been named I don't think. Hopefully the moral IOF can get to the bottom of it and hold them accountable whoever it was.

No one is supporting Hamas, the killing of innocent Palestinians is the issue but I'm sure you know that.

No it didn't start on Oct 7th. It escalated then but it started 75 years ago. Israel has always treated the Palestinians in a shocking way. Israel has shown that it has no shame and no depts it won't descent to.

Yes, we would likely see Peggy's double standards on display if another country killed scores of Israeli civilians while striking IDF military facilities in Tel Aviv in what they claimed was preemptive self defense.

they are though.

Is the Holocaust memorial museums definition of genocide too broad for your liking?

Show me a report on the RTE website that has a single lie in it. Seriously, anything at all. They're reporting facts. Same goes for BBC. Show me where it's lying.

Thread broken again it seems

A couple of good jokes I heard recently: " "We are fully confident in the Israeli investigation "

Well Joe is in cognitive decline so maybe he has forgotten how previous IDF investigations tend to go

Another one:

A highly trained sniper "indirectly and unintentionally shot the woman"

Just as snipers "unintentionally" shot dead numerous people from civilians to journalists over the years.

I suppose it's easier for the apologists to believe this than accept the truth that trigger happy soliders are nearly always never held to account. Still do believe we our the most moral and accountable army.
