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 .
It has been suggested quite a few times that racism and Islamophobia is a key driver in support for Israel in the west. Glance through the social media accounts of Israel supporters and you will invariably find openly racist comments about 'the so-called religion of peace', 'Muslim fanatics', 'Hamas' etc, often retweeting stuff from far right accounts.
I think it's more than that, in Ireland there is a very small number of Israeli groupies and IDF sluts , more often than not they are career contrarian anti social oddballs like Ian o Doherty or the mad professor in DCU ( Humphrys) , it's a sure fire way for garnering attention in Ireland as Irish people instinctively loathe the concept of land theft and expulsion
You also of course have cynics like John Mcguirk who are just fishing for donors
Well if that's the mentality, they dont give a jot about Israel, just backing whoever it is that is killing Muslims.
And these same ones to throw around "anti Semite" accusations at other posters for pointing out the vileness of this military campaign.
Well - if these guys were alive in 1942 it's very obvious who they would be backing - there was after all another religion back then that was all the rage to hate.
Real asylum seekers? I'm in little doubt that the vast majority of asylum seekers here are "real". I've got some bad news for you. Trump wants the war to be over, or in the end-game stage, by the time he gets into office. People like you will move on to something new; moaning about the amount of foreigners in the country or similar in your case, at that point.
Trump may not call it a " war " but he is full square behind the annexation of the west Bank, his cabinet picks confirm this
israel have told us that Hamas are defeated.
How do you manage the double think? On one hand Hamas are a dealth cult. But on the other hand, the side that's killed tens of thousands of children, the side thats deliberately starving children, the side that's preventing children from getting medical care, isn't a death cult.
And while we're here. Explain this. How is this anything except torturing a child. https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2024/nov/15/gaza-war-children-humanitarian-aid-mazyouna-israel-refuses-medical-evacuation
Most of these dickheads couldn't even tell you where Israel is on the map. They're just "supporting" them because their dumb adherence to their shoddy politics tells them that's who they're on side with this year.
You have honest to shit nazis supporting Israel's ethnic cleansing in Gaza. Must be very confusing for the poor dears.
Mod Edit: Warning issued for uncivil posting
The vast majority of posters see what's happening is the Middle East for what it is. It's only the usual grouping of posters (with one or two outliers) who are desperately trying to stick to some sort of bizarre narrative whereby anything Israel does is "justified".
It looks like Israel has lost the support of public opinion in the west, particularly in recent months. The only ones still supporting them appear to be governments and the media in certain countries, who seem hugely (and quite bizarrely) compromised in their relationship with Israel.
Who is to say?
They themselves say it.
It's at the root of it definately. Many seem to deny this reality. Just look at what some Arab leaders were saying about Jews back in the 1940's.
Most independence / revolutionary movements featured violence against the occupier or oppressor. Labelling them as "terrorists" doesn't really add much to the discussion (and in the case of the Israeli state being terrorists themselves, it becomes completely meaningless).
What's happening in Lebanon now lads? I haven't heard anything lately, has the war died down?
The saddest thing is that all of these pro genocide people are also rabidly anti immigration and would be deliberately cruel to any Palestinians who find their way to Ireland to escape the brutality that they support from Israel.
Should we not call them out for what they are?
Lets be frank here, Hamas are a terrorist organisation. They are deemed so by us and the EU along with many others. To deny that is to deny reality.
They’re bombing civilian areas with no regard for human life. Saw a video of a huge bomb being dropped right beside the civilian airport yesterday, as a plane was taxiing to/from a runway.
I seen that near the airport actually? But what is happening on the frontline? Stalemate?
Yeah the brave highly trained IDF can’t get any further. Prob still have PTSD from Amsterdam.
As regards Lebanon, the Israeli attacks continue - civilian structures are still on the cards, like hospitals, civic centres, rescue workers and so on. Standard fare for the IDF and standard procedures for a State intent on destroying everything around it in preparation for land grabs and annexations etc.
In other words, business as usual for the Genocide State.
BBC:
An Israeli air strike on an emergency response centre in north-eastern Lebanon on Thursday killed at least 15 rescue workers, officials say, in one of the deadliest attacks of its kind involving Lebanese emergency responders in the war.
The strike in Douris, near the city of Baalbek, destroyed a building of the civil defence agency, which is linked to the Lebanese government and not affiliated with the Iranian-backed group Hezbollah. The regional governor, Bachir Khodr, said the victims included the city’s civil defence chief, Bilal Raad.
The Israeli military has not commented on the attack, which was described by the Lebanese health ministry as “barbaric”.
The Lebanese civil defence carries out emergency services including search and rescue work and fire-fighting response.
Seems telling porkie pies in Israel at the highest levels is endemic and routine. This particularly fib was told to make Netanyahu look better. Quelle surprise.
The Chief of Staff to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is being investigated by police over allegations of altering documents relating to the 7 October Hamas attack to portray his boss in a more favourable light.
Tzachi Braverman, one of Netanyahu’s closest advisors, was questioned by the Israeli police Lahav 433 major crimes unit for over five hours on Thursday, according to reports in Israeli media.

Sure, the Israeli/Palestinian conflict stems from antisemitism, In the same way as anti protestantism was the main cause of the 1798 Rebellion, 1916 Rising, the War of Independence and the Troubles. A ludicrous claim.
That doesn't undermine the fact that Palestinian terrorists deliberately killed over 1,000 innocent people on 7 Oct 2023.
Including the hundreds of innocent people in tanks and with machine guns firing back.
Do you believe Israel killed any innocent people on October 7th and every day since?
A surgeon who worked in Gaza testifies about how IDF drones deliberately target children as young as 3.
Don't tell me, it's a 3 year old Hamas member. Just kidding. I'm sure someone will attempt to defend the indefensible.
Maybe the attacks were aimed at terrorists and hit civilians by mistake.
Them lads who flew in on paragliders, had enough ammunition to create a car graveyard 😂
It’s the only logical allowed explanation.
You do realise that loads of HAMAS terrorists overran the boarders too with RPGs and the likes, right?
Have you not watched any of the footage?
A simple mistake … 40,000 times
