Israel are going to start WWIII

you silly claim that “we were here first”.
Who is “we” and when did “we” arrive?

Some good examples of how major media outlets have played a part in this disaster.

Ireland, in their bias against Israel, is not example subtle

Is it bias to condemn the mass killings of civilians, the press, front line workers, threatening our own?

Guess I'm biased so, I don't think that makes me the weird one though.

Saddam, like Israel was US backed.

a land governed by Israelis

You mean occupation?

I certainly wouldn't fancy living anywhere near the Israeli Regime at the moment, high chance of being murdered.

Another 22 killed today, there will be no candles, pictures or names published on any western media.

I think, personally, you're using the wrong conditional here — and you should be asking what anyone else 'would' have done in their shoes, not 'should', if you are trying to pose a hypothetical.

There's an important distinction between the two. Clearly, if an armed terrorist organisation attacked your country with the viciousness and barbarity displayed by Hamas, you would feel a strong urge for vengeance and that urge might cloud your morality. That's natural. But that's not to say that seeking vengeance with a clouded sense of morality is what you should do.

History is littered with the terrible stories of people who did things that any of us might do, or would do, if put in those people's circumstances. The question of what they should have done is a very different one.

So if you're asking, what should Israel have done, I find it fairly straightforward in my own mind to say (to put it mildly) they should not have done what they did to Gaza and its people and should not be doing what they are doing now. It all reeks of the USA's quest for vengeance after 9/11 which achieved nothing of lasting value and if anything made things far worse.

Here we go again, about time they came up with some new ideas.

Some people have absolutely no idea about the Palestinian situation before October last year. Just like many others who had no idea where the Ukraine was before Russia invaded it. All of a sudden they were adding little blue and yellow flags to their avatars and yapping daily on their social media accounts.

Anyone who's been aware of what's been happening in Palestine over the last few decades can understand why the events on October 7th kicked off and why it didn't happen in a vacuum.

22, you know there were car bombs that killed hundreds and they were barely mentioned in the news. I’m not sure what you expect. There’s also a pretty grim war in Sudan that has ethnic cleansing happening now too. Not many marches for that, not the cool cause right now.

Hamas linked group doing that genocide, a real genocide . Not like this war which will still be one of the smallest in the region in decades

But were they proven to be working with Hamas? If I remember correctly, Israel accused some people, The UN kicked them out but Israel never followed up with any actual evidence.

And no, Israel funding Hamas should be a bigger deal.

Some certainly were - one was a top Hamas man in Lebanon. But it's ok, Philippe Lazzarini didn't know about it, so it's not his fault at all. So just keep giving your money to UNRWA and nobody will ever know how much of it goes to Hamas.

What's to worry about?

Also, why do you think they were letting Hamas bring money into Gaza? Because they were hoping for them to attack Israelis? Or because they (wrongly) thought they could buy peace with Hamas in Gaza?

I have a friend who visited Israel in 2023 (a lifelong ambition of his) and he said he absolutely hated the place - said there was a really bad oppressive vibe and any interaction with immigration or the authorities was hostile and extremely rude….the locals were pretty much the same. He couldn't wait to get out of the country and was genuinely surprised at how unpleasant an experience it was.

Genocide is probably a strong word considering the population of Gaza has increased by an average of about 10,000 per year since 1950, 22,000 in the last year. There's been about 130,000 total Arab deaths since 1948. I'd argue calling that a genocide suggests that Israel are incompetent at genocide

A better example of genocide is the Iran/Iraq war which killed 500,000 or the more recent 2015 Saudi led invasion of Yemmen which killed 355k but let's not talk about that because it might piss off the oil producers, am I right?

My theory is they want to kill non Palestinians in gaza so there,ll be no witness,s to their psyhopathic genocide of civilians

Hitler committed genocide against the Jews but at least he did not try to destroy all the buildings and bomb cemetery s and churches in Germany

the IDF kill medical workers civilian political protestors including American citizens

I thought genocide was just part of history like world war 2 we have moved on

We are more civilised than that

The Nazis vs the Idf israeli government

should be opposites

Not united in committed genocide against a group based on race

The IDF bombs schools mosques graveyards

There's literally no safe space in gaza

They have reduced 70 per cent of buildings in gaza to rubble

I was naive I thought after 2000 there was no genocide like there's no longer war in the north

Eg the ira does not plant bombs or shoot people

Look at Florida mega storms floods it may end only the rich will stay in Florida

It,ll cost billions to fix the damage caused by the last 2 floods and there will be floods every year probably with the cabability to cause massive damage to buildings

Ordinary people cannot afford to pay rising insurance costs

North Korea is sending troops to fight in the Ukraine

Its hard to be optimistic about the future of earth

Will be wiped out by war and climate change or both
