    Agree with you re: the ICJ. If the ICJ rules in favour of Israel, where does that leave the people, and the countries more importantly, who are accusing them of genocide?

    If, by the lottery of life, you had been unfortunate to have been born under the zionist boot, there is a reasonable chance that you'd be among that 30,000 …….. had the zionists not murdered or maimed you before you grew old enough.

    You might think that's nonsense, but the Brits might have just as easily had the brainwave to solve the "Jewish problem" by gifting them large swathes of Ireland.

    Neither does it mean Israel should go into full berserker retaliation mode and kill everyone in sight.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,927 ✭✭✭dmcdona


    What will you say if Israel is not cleared and they are found guilty of genocide?

    And what if Netanyahu and Gallant are found guilty of war crimes?

    I don't know. Where does that leave Israel in respect the demostratable war crimes and crimes against humanity?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,927 ✭✭✭dmcdona


    Israel has already been brought before the ICJ. The case was determined as "plausible" by the ICJ who issued directives against Israel in the interim.

    They did that because there was a suspicion of wrongdoing.

    And what Israel has done since (forced starvation etc.) is even worse.

    This is absolutely not about bullying anyone. This is about people recognising what Israel is doing and expressing their revulsion of the inhumanity of it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,352 ✭✭✭✭Thelonious Monk


    Anyone who thinks any Israeli is getting done for any war crimes, ever, is nuts in my opinion.

    It seems every day now I'm reading 100 or so Palestinians killed in bombing of schools and hospitals. I mean how many of these Hamas fighters are left? Are Hamas even offering any kind of resistance? It seems like they're just trying to kill as many Palestinians as possible now.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,927 ✭✭✭dmcdona


    It "leaves" SA nowhere.

    SA have a legal obligation to report genocide to the ICJ.

    ICJ found their case plausible. There are no repercussions for SA whatever judgement the ICJ comes to.

    I haven't taken anything out of context.

    I provided a link to an EU document on Conspiracy Theories and right wing extremism.

    That document lists numerous conspiracy theories, including a section on Anti-semitic conspiracy theories.

    In its final conclusions on Anti-semitic conspiracy theories, it states quite clearly that The word 'Zionist' is frequently used instead of the word 'Jew' by anti-semites who see it as a handy method to spout anti-semitic BS while retaining a veneer of deniablility.

    As predicted, you decided to ignore it.

    Not everyone who is anti-zionist is necessarily anti-semitic. However, if they're regurgitating well known anti-semitic tropes, like ZOG theory, they most certainly are.

    sounds like iran is still processing Israels response .. latest news from iran is they are looking at trippling their military budget .. what is amazing is how much info israel has about iran's military sites - they must have good spies, satellites or plenty of US help....

    Satellite photos show Israeli strike likely hit important Iran Revolutionary Guard missile base

    Israel’s attack on Iran likely damaged a base run by the paramilitary Revolutionary Guard that builds ballistic missiles and launches rockets as part of its own space program

    Yes it's never going to happen. We saw how swiftly the court made a decision about Putin. The pressure being applied on the court will ensure no arrest warrant is granted. Even if an arrest warrant is granted no country will ever enforce it should the likes of Bibi ever step foot in a country that recognises the court

    A very strange post.

    I can certainly understand a Jewish person being upset if the Holocaust numbers were incorrectly refererred to at a low number, such as 500,000, that's just plain old fashioned Holocaust denial.

    What I don't understand is somebody taking affront at a potential over-estimation of Nazi Jew-killing intentions during the war.

    Do you really think that if they could have got their hands on Australian or American Jews they would have been treated anyway different?

    Regardless, your 'facts' are wrong.

    Thw Wannsee drew up a list of 11 million Jews for extermination, including 5 million in the Soviet Union. There was no escaping for any Jew, anywhere.

    I find it hard to square this circle on Gazan's views on Hamas. They provoked this and threw their own people under a bus yet she says the below. (unless she is a member of Hamas).

    We put that to the paramedic, Nevine al Dawawi.

    The IDF claimed Hamas was using civilians as human shields, is that true?

    “No, Hamas was not using civilians as human shields. They were protecting us and standing with us.”

    the army that could put explosives in the pagers of 3000 members of Hezbollah (the reality is many were just normal men women and children, but they love murdering children) could not know about an attack by people on home made hand gliders, coming out of the open air prison that is Gaza. Also the somehow managed to take 100's of hostages. This was always about murdering as many women and children as possible. Horrid people and country



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


    Who else can they see sticking up for them? Western leaders are largely silent at best, providing the machinery for genocide at worst. Even on here you have a large contingent gleefully lapping up stories about yet another strike killing dozens of vulnerable people just sitting there waiting day after day, trying not to starve, and wondering whether that day will be the day that the zionists decide to kill them.

    All they have from their perspective is a tiny population of people on the ground brave enough to pick up a gun to try to help them survive another day. A bit of help from Hezbollah up north and then pressure being applied by Iran. But that's really it. Who would you turn to? Walk out stripped to your waist with your hands held aloft hoping that the zionists arrest you and bring you to a gang-raping detention centre rather than shoot you on the spot? Hope that the US stops arming the people killing you for sport?

    There is an awful vacuum being created over there. The West will regret allowing it to develop



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 518 ✭✭✭sheepysheep


    Bear in mind that many of the accusations made about what Hamas did on that day have been debunked (beheaded babies, babies in ovens, pregnant woman's foetus cut out of her belly etc.) - I make that point only to illustrate that Israel will lie about anything to justify what they do.

    This is textbook. You acknowledge Oct 7th only to deny it in the same sentance. Go onto any pro-hamas twitter feed or forum and this is the typical line of attack. Every time anyone accentuates the debunked beheaded babies story, they erode the horror of Oct 7th even more, which is the real intention.

    You even ended up at the same endpoint as the seething anti-zionist massess, that you just can't trust the Jews. The next logical step is 'Hannibel directive' and the Jews killed everyone themselves. Did OCT 7th actually happen or is it another Zionist conspiracy. Not saying you, but that's the endpoint for a lot of these people.

    You've mentioned a few times that "Hamas should do this", Hezbollah should do that", have you once considered saying "Israel should stop doing this"?

    Have you once considered laying the entire blame for the continuing death toll in Gaza on a bunch of Islamic Jihadists who do not care one jot about their own people, and that constantly attcking Israel rather than the true genocidal maniacs is providing succor to a bunch of maniacs at a time of war, and indeed prolonging the war.

    Until then, Israel will defend itself from attack

    ." This is one example of many - yesterday an 11 year was killed or throwing pebbles at a military vehicle and he was shot dead by the IDF. Do you honestly believe that by killing an 11-year old boy, Israel is defending itself?

    A completly dishonest question. Israel is fighting a war. It's defending itself against Hamas, not 11-year old's. If that incident is true then that would constitute a war crime and the individual who committed it should be prosecuted. Constantly highlighting such individual actions only distracts from the larger problem, the war, and Hamas refusal to surrender and bring the bloodshed to an end, and the unwillingness of the Palestinian Political class to exert pressure on them to do so.

    The war could end tomorrow, but as i said before, given the choice of a Hamas surrender and the end of the deaths of Palestinain children or more war, Hamas and it's legion of online supporters will always choose Hamas 'right to resist' above the lives of children.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 518 ✭✭✭sheepysheep


    The population of Gaza and West bank is approx 5 Million. Hamas fighters estimated around 30k.

    By those numbers .6% of the population was prepared to head off in the morning to kill as many people as you could. Hardly a resonable chance by anybody's book that any given person would have signed on for that. That you belive yourself to be one of that very small percentage speaks volumes about you, nothing else.

    The vast majority of Palestinians were just getting on with their lives on Oct 7th before Hamas destroyed them forever.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,927 ✭✭✭dmcdona


    Your post was pretty good until I read "a completely dishonest question" - which makes your post completely dishonest and not worth debating.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 518 ✭✭✭sheepysheep


    Not a single goalpost moved.

    This is what I quoted. It's not out of context.

    A strong overlap between right-wing, Islamistand left-wing extremism undoubtedly lies in the anti-Semitic conspiracy theories. In this regard, anti-Zionism may be used as a stand-in term for “Jews” in conspiracy theories, thus making it more difficult to unravel antiSemitic malicious narratives on the alleged Jewish global power.

    It clearly states that anti-Zionist and Jew are used interchangable by some people for nefarious purposes.

    Something you have yet to acknowledge btw.

    If I was playing the 'disinformation game', which i wasn't, the only people I tarred were National Socialists, which seems to upset you for some reason.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 557 ✭✭✭taratee


    Prison for the rest of their days. Would prison be sufficient or would you be hoping for the death penalty?

    Am Yisrael Chai - Bring them home.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,927 ✭✭✭dmcdona


    That answers the second question. For your follow up, prison is fine.

    You might answer the first question.



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


    2 million in Gaza. Half of them kids. Presumably half of the adults are men and half women.

    That said, the number of 30k is likely simply an overestimate given by the zionists to try to justify their genocide to gullible fools.

    If you were living in Gaza in early 2023 and had some implausible optimism that the zionists would eventually allow you and your children to lead a normal life, those delusions are well and truly shattered now.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 557 ✭✭✭taratee


    I'm delighted (genuinely) to hear that you would not be pushing for the death penalty. I can't answer the first question. I haven't thought about it much because I don’t believe they’re guilty. Leave it with me.

    If the main man BN ever had a epiphany and developed anything resembling a conscience, I think he'd end his days in a bunker like his role-model did back in '45.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 557 ✭✭✭taratee


    Why are you having a pop at me? I posed the question. The split is on your side of the debate. As for facts, I've added plenty. Scroll through the thread to see them. Have you seen photos of Gaza pre-October 7th?

    I don't believe that there are any innocent adult Israelis. I don't see them attempting to overthrow the Government that is committing Genocide, war crimes and collective punishment against the Palestinian women and children. They are far too quiet and accepting of what is happening. I think that like the people of Germany who didn't protest or even complain about what the Nazis were doing, the Israeli people have a '' Collective Shame '' that will never be erased.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,396 ✭✭✭✭Strazdas


    They are being attacked and bombed and starved on a daily basis by a terrorist state. I'd nearly be supporting Hamas myself at this point if I was there (as reprehensible as the latter are).

    They have been radicalised by their government and media. 'Hamas are to blame for all this' is a common refrain, as if they (the Israeli public) somehow bear no responsibility whatsoever for the numerous war crimes and possible / probable genocide,
