It seems like a Jewish right wing are determined to start a Middle East war and WWIII . Israel is the equivalent of a Fascist state and it’s time to call them out as such .
I'm actually stumped…
So whats your definition of genocide then?
Ive now asked 3 times for a definition from pro-Israeli supporters and not one has answered the question.
What's bizarre about it? The military of any country represents its people. So naturally, nobody should be happy if they get hurt or killed, by anyone.
Pull up the definition of genocide and have a read, come back and specify which section mentions a reduction in population growth or specifies if civilian deaths are more than births, it's a genocide etc… Far too many people on here don't know what genocide actually is.
You can read it however you want. Nowhere did I say the PDF were the leprechauns.
I think you are on a wum at this stage. That's an unreal reply.
Huh? I don't want anyone - including Israel - killing or harming Irish troops. What's unreal about that?
Iran are fuelling both the Russo-Ukraine war and Hamas/Hezbollah's war on Israel. Iran, Russia, Hezbollah etc are becoming closer allies with each passing day.
20,000 dead brown kids don't matter I spose.
The claim that IDF soldiers intended to kill or injure peacekeepers is still unproven. If the UN had taken action to ensure that Hezbollah didn't have armed personnel in southern Lebanon anymore then the IDF wouldn't have gone into Lebanon.
The other nations could also withdraw their personnel if they wished. Hamas and Hezbollah attacked first. Your claim about the IDF is an antisemitic falsehood.
Time for UNIFIL to leave. They are absolutely obsolete in their role as observers. They are way too pally with Hezbollah. They literally sit in camps all day and now sit in poorly made bunkers. They should hand over their bases to the IDF and go home . There's a war on.
America have just put 100 soldiers on the ground. It's ramping up now to Israels strike on Iran. It's going to be big maybe decisive if they attack the nuclear facilities. There's no future or present for the UN in Lebanon. Get out
If some Jews spat on Christians, it was a very small number of Jews that did it.
Craig Murray is a crank. He committed contempt of court by revealing the names of women who made allegations against the late Alex Salmond and was jailed for it.
Hamas and Hezbollah attacked first and are hiding behind civilians. Allied air raids aimed at German forces in France in 1944 also killed civilians but France didn't accuse the US or the UK of war crimes.
He acknowledged the possibility that Hind Rajab was killed in the crossfire. The pictures themselves don't prove guilt. He defended himself well.
There is no evidence that Israeli soldiers knowingly killed Gazan Catholics or Hind Rajab or her relatives.
Regarding the West Bank incident in which some soldiers threw a few dead bodies off the roof, the IDF's response to ITV News's query about the incident can be read in the last 40 seconds of this video.
20k kids don't matter. Attacking UN troops don't matter. Hard to see what will ever matter to some posters here.
The UNFIL mandate was posted earlier, I'm not up to date on the details, but what was provided was they backup the Lebanese army to clear the blue zone. UNIFIL cannot act unilaterally, they just accompany the Lebanese army.
Now let's think rationally, if Hezbollah couldn't enter the blue zone, they would just fire beyond that. Don't go blaming peace keepers from doing what they are mandated to do. Should they also fire on and kill IDF soliders from encroaching on the blue line? We gonna blame the destruction of Lebanon on peacekeepers now, for failure to act outside of their mandate?
I'm sure once a UNIFIL peacekeeper is killed (many have already died, killed by all sides, just not within this current conflict), people will be defending the IDF to the hilt. It's sickening.
I am not. Arabs and Muslims dying is ok for Sean. Yet if his doctrine of total war was applied against Israel he'd be crying about the inhumanity of it all. I believe he is actually oblivious to how racist and hypocritical his stance is because if he had any self awareness or decency he'd never have stated that killing Irish peacekeepers was his red line.
Well no. He didn't.
He insisted there were no IDF in that area on that day. When presented with the satellite photos showing otherwise he just kept repeating his mantra.
What you are doing there is blind following like a person might of their favourite footballer or team.
How can she be killed in a crossfire when the IDF stated they were not in the area? So the IDF were engaged in a firefight with Hamas, but the IDF were also not there?
It's crimes like these that without independent analysis (no foreign journalists allowed), mean the IDF literally get away with murder and can hide their war crimes.
I seem to remember seeing some zionist paid mouthpiece being interviewed who claimed - I think it was in relation to some women or kids being shot by a sniper - that there was no proof that the IDF did it, because even though the shots were fired by an IDF weapon and caught on camera, there was no proof that Hamas didn't steal that weapon to kill the victim.
Absolutely mental.
Of course he, like political analyst, wouldn't jump through the same hoops to defend Russia murdering people in Bucha. In his desperation to defend the IDF he invoked schrodinger's cat- the IDF were there engaging in a crossfire but at the same time they weren't there
I never said there was a crime called cultural genocide. I said there were aspect which were cultural.
As you said, it's the intent to destroy a national, ethnic, religious or racial group. You don't have to kill people to do that. You can erase their culture. If in 50 years, the uyghurs have disappeared and no longer exist as an ethnic group, then it will have been genocide, even if no-one was killed.
Given that the IDF is a military body and has members of more than one religion serving, criticism of them is not anti-semitic.
There are reports of them killing civilians out of boredom. There are videos, taken by themselves, gloating over destroying mosques. They are videos of one in particular gloating over killing a 12 year old girl. They have murdered medics, journalists, they left babies to decompose in an ICU.
The IDF could not commit anything more depraved that what they already committed.
But do keep hiding behind that "antisemitism" tagline - it speaks volumes about your ignorance.
I know who Craig Murray is, tyvm. Did he make up the story of Israel destroying the Catholic church in Lebanon?
Judging by other posts, it seems everyone is reading it the same.
It's a shameful comment on past and present Irish Peacekeepers who serve their country and the UN.
I honestly don't care about other posts and what other people think of what I wrote. I know what I meant and if people want to read their own prejudice into what I write that's their business.
