    Are you talking about more inference from videos being done by Israel-friendly media outlets? As far as I am aware up to this morning - Israel refuses a UN independent investigation into their claims of rape on Oct 7th. No actual evidence presented to date. Good day.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,928 ✭✭✭thatsdaft


    I haven’t mentioned IDF solider or rape, you are spinning very hard now that you have dug yourself into a hole with your blind rage and support for terrorism

    Neither was I the one who posted whataboutery on the anniversary of 7th of October like you have done as a bizzare justification for the event

    Going back to the question your post raises which you keep avoiding

    Does murder of X people justify murder of Y people Z time period later?

    This question goes straight to the root of the insanity that prevailed in last year, which has now completely blinded people

    Well one thing I can guarantee you is you wouldn't have done anything about it, that's for sure. History shows that. You might have set up a couple of field hospitals in Donegal (tents) and made some nice speeches about "not standing idly by" - but as for actually going in and risking your lives? Not a flipping chance.

    All big talk and no trousers eh?

    You are delusional if you think that Mossad, one of the top intelligence agencies in the world didn't know that was coming.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,623 ✭✭✭timmyntc


    Yes. And I can't wait to hear your response. No doubt some kind of fallacious argument about the ancient Israelites or the holocaust justifying anything the state of Israel does.

    Funny in a sad way the lengths people will go to to excuse genocide and the murder of women and children in an open air prison.

    Well of course America should get tough with Israel, but we all know it certainly won't happen this side of an election.

    That said if America is sincere in not wanting a wider war, then there are grounds to reach a deal with Iran seeing as they both have a convergent interest to avoid an all out war. Even if any deal might be temporary if Trump gets in. I think Iran would accept if it takes the white heat away for now. Bibi can't portray Biden as a hamas / terrorist sympathiser by endorsing Israels right to respond, but behind the scenes letting Israel know that it will not support an all out war. So in effect all parties know the response will be calibrated to avoid further escalation. It's a high wire act that could go wrong, but it's better than the alternative. The war junkies on here will obviously think otherwise.

    First read up the thread and see who is dragging NI to discussion before painting me as terrorist supporter. I don't support hamas, Hezbollah, Ira, Iran or Israel. They are all terrorists one way or another. There is no difference who is killing civilians especially children indiscriminately.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,245 ✭✭✭Yvonne007


    You are really hurting your credibility.

    Instead of saying "yes, there were bad actors who I condemn totally and there were likely some atrocious sexual assualts carried out alongside the murders on that dreadful day, I do still believe that Hamas has a right to defend themselves against the violent and illegal occupation of Gaza from the aggressors Israel", you decide to say that it's just propaganda from Israel friendly media.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,052 ✭✭✭scottser


    I don't wish to define you, Yvonne. I only ask that you own your hatred of other people, acknowledge it, and then don't be suprised when you are called out for your bigotry and intolerance.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,928 ✭✭✭thatsdaft


    So if you think that “murder of X people justifies murder of Y people Z time period” later

    Then why are you getting so upset about Israelis doing just that in last year?

    is it because in your mind some piggies are more piggy than others?

    BTW the correct answer to above question is no for normal people, but events of last year have completely fucked up with peoples moral compasses to the point they cheer on for terrorists on anniversary of an atrocity, by saying yes you are no better than the Israelis who you hate so much and are only pouring oil into the dumpster fire from the sidelines

    And spare me the speeches about genocide, you have made it very clear you have no issues with Russian genocide of Ukrainians in other thread

    Why again with the excusing rape once it is committed by a zionist????

    On a non-strawman point, can you not see your obvious hypocrisy? Two posts about historical events (anniversaries). You ignore one, and put your own projections on the other. It really is so blatant. Even if you refuse to admit it, you cannot deny it to yourself. Pure hypocrisy

    The simple answer is that you want one to be highlighted as it makes you feel better about the "team" you support, while you want the other to remain hidden because it doesn't show that same "team" in a good light.

    Jesus Christ, she was at a concert. Unarmed. She didn't have an accident - she was attacked by men armed with guns and rocket launchers. "A little bloodied up"? FFS.

    Her dead body was paraded to cheering crowds in the streets of Gaza. Men spat on it.

    It's odd how there seems to be a conviction that future generations Palestinians are condemned to continue hating Israel because of what happened since Oct 7th, but no acknowledgment that the same might happen for Israelis who lived through this.

    Or this:

    ("A little bloodied up" - really?)

    I haven’t mentioned rape, nor was I the one on this thread to have tried to excuse it



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,327 ✭✭✭✭Donald Trump


    Interesting. I think you might be starting to learn about the ability of one person to add words and meanings to what another never said.

    Have a look at the post I made that got your blood boiling. See what it actually says, not what you think it says nor what you want it to have said.

    Then ask yourself why is it valid for you to say that me posting about an event that happened one year and one day ago is justifying something you decide to add, whereas you posting about an event that happened one year ago is not justifying something I decide to add?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,623 ✭✭✭timmyntc


    Ah yes. So now the game plan is to say they are both equally as bad, despite Israel killing orders of magnitude more people (and women and children) than Hamas and Hezbollah combined ever had.

    With every re-reg your postings get more and more weak



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,245 ✭✭✭Yvonne007


    Apologies, I didn't assume you were defining me. You just seem to define anyone who disagrees with your stance on Israel as "Hard-Right" which I found silly and darkly amusing considering the "right" being called Nazis for the last decade or so.

    I hate some people. There is no denial there.

    I am more than happy to explain my hatred for people when called out on it.

    I already said that I hate the jewish religion for it's stance on genital mutilation of children. That's not to say I hate all Jews.

    I hate the Israeli Government for what I believe to be a disproportionate retaliation and deliberate escalation of hostility in the Middle East. Thats not to say I hate all Israelis.

    I hate Hamas for their terrorism. That's not to say I hate all Palestinians.

    I own my hatred of other people. I usually have a justification.

    It didn't start with Nov 9th 1938.

    They have been throwing out the same lines for generations.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,928 ✭✭✭thatsdaft


    You still fail to see that the eye for an eye mentality that is so prevalent in the cultures of this region is why these conflicts will continue in perpetuity

    And yes both sides here are worse than each other, something any normal person would understand by now, but yourself and others have been so blinded by rage and propaganda from both sides you are no longer capable of seeing a way out and just cheer on for your murdering side while innocent people on both sides die



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,470 ✭✭✭✭2smiggy


    there has only been innocent people from one side dying for the last year. In huge numbers. israel will know all about the 'eye for an eye' for generations (if they are around that long)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,623 ✭✭✭timmyntc


    But it isn't close to an eye for an eye.

    At this stage Israel are inflicting about 10,000 times more pain, damage and destruction on the people of Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon. It has never been an eye for an eye, it has been Israel acting as the bully boy of the region bombing people indiscriminately for decades now.

    Donald Trump (the poster) and yourself have admitted now that the deaths of 1200 people over deaths of 2 people is justified

    That’s a 600:1 ratio

    And now you are complaining when a much smaller ratio of retaliation occurred?

    Like I said earlier the answer to “does murder of X people just murder of Y people Z time later” is a no for normal people

    You answered a yes and now moaning when the Israeli government seems to agree with you



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,623 ✭✭✭timmyntc


    Yawn try harder. I have not attempted to justify anything based on 2 deaths, it is clear pedantry from yourself and everyone on thread can see it.

    41,909 Palestinians killed and 97,303 injured in Israel's military offensive on Gaza since oct. 7, 2023 — Gaza health ministry

    41k confirmed dead (not including missing under rubble) and 97k wounded. And hundreds of thousands displaced.

    I ask you this - do you condemn this action by the Israelis?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,067 ✭✭✭✭Danzy


    They want Israel to fight it's wars with no casualties among non combatants, uniquely so.

    That Israel are fighting a collective that has killed somewhere around a 1.5mn people in the region in the recent past, doesn't matter, not that they gave a flying fu78 about any of them, nor did the Arabic world or the activists.

    What's happening in Gaza is tough, it is laughable to call it a genocide. Half the dead are fighters and a lot of the civilians are people that were around them when they were taken out

    The whole it's the most genocidal genocide in the galaxy investigation has ground to a halt for lack of any evidence to suggest so.

    A few more months mopping up will see Hamas done for as a force.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,928 ✭✭✭thatsdaft


    First things first I already condemned earlier in thread quite clearly, what Israelis have done is not only evil but stupid

    Now you answered yea here

    You think that murder of 1200 people over 2 is justified, that’s 1:600 ratio btw

    By your own messed up logic and the sick sick ratio Israelis should then be ok to kill up to 720,000 people, yet you moan about 42,000 (1:35 ratio nowhere near 10,000x you claim) assuming HAMAS ministry didn’t invent figures

    See now the slippery black hole of stupidity your answer of yes to that core question in this war leads down to?

    Iran killed two people in missile strikes (one Arab Israeli and one Palestinian) by the stupid eye for eye rules you approve of it be all cosher for Israelis now to murder 1200 Iranians



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,067 ✭✭✭✭Danzy


    Unfortunate, pity it had to be, an incentive to hit Hamas, Hezbollah and the mullahs harder.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,327 ✭✭✭✭Donald Trump


    Again with the strawman. Such dishonesty. I'm almost disappointed you didn't say that linking to something that happened more than one year ago by a day is antisemitic. I actually gave two links btw.

    While you yourself have admitted that zionists are allowed to rape any Palestinian man woman or child they want (If you are going to make up stuff, then I will too).



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,067 ✭✭✭✭Danzy


    Same as any day in the last year. Hamas can end the fighting today, release the hostages, surrender men and weapons.

    Hezbollah can end the fight by going back behind litani as agreed in 2006.

    They refuse to do so. Their commitment to war is absolute.

    Absolute delusional head in the sand stuff.

    If you've watched the HAMAS attack videos they filmed themselves, look at the way women are being treated in the videos, look at some of the wounds on the women in the videos and think none of that happened, well, I'm not sure what else to say to you really.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,963 ✭✭✭dmcdona


    I've made my views clear on here.

    What the IDF are doing is abhorrent as is what Hamas/Hezbollah are doing. The Israeli Govt., particularly Ben Gvir, Smotrich and Netanyahu have used the same language as the terrorists.

    No-one, in a war zone, who kills civilians, is a hero.

    This is false information and it is very important it be called out on thread.

    Hezbollah had a greed a ceasefire with Israelis. On the same night the Israelis dropped hundreds of tons of explosives to kill the head of Hezbollah (Nasrallah) who they had just agreed a ceasefire with.

    Hamas have come very close to ceasefire agreements when talks were held in Qatar, and again in Egypt, but each time there was a deal on the horizon the hardliners in the Israeli war cabinet threatened to pull the plug on the government if a deal was agreed. Netanyahu cannot risk losing power as he is subject to criminal proceedings, so will do anything to stay in power.

    The only reason ceasefire have not been agreed or hostage deals agreed is due to the actions of the Israeli government.
