Israel are going to start WWIII

They're not, they're refuting the comparisons you see here again and again.

Literally from the post you quoted;

'You are not comparing like with like on so many fronts and the mere fact that you are attempting to compare the two shows just how little you know about Israel/Palestine and NI. '

A nationalist from the North in their 40s, so an adult , for what 1 or 2 years of the Troubles, is more familiar with the IRA and the Troubles than any Republican in the South, barstool blah, blah, blah.
Was in school during the Troubles but knows more about the IRA and Troubles than southern “tough guys” who abandoned the north when it counted. Sure Taratee, you know way more about the IRA and the troubles than southern republicans like Thomas Slab Murphy and the like.

He begins his dismissal of other people’s knowledge of the Israeli/Pslestinian conflict by using Hamas and Palestine interchangeably, stating they are opposed to the two state solution despite the Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas’s being in favour of it.
Proximity is not knowledge.

Absolutely this - Taratee's post starts with "Palestine/Hamas", and also mentions giving Hamas "more land". He/she equates them as one and the same. While holding that opinion it wouldn't be a big leap to believe Palestinian civilians are fair game…

Still, this tough guy/girl justifying ethnic cleansing from a barstool (whatever that means) is, imo, a hypocritical pov from a self proclaimed Irish Nationalist.

Plenty defended (and still do) the murders carried out by British security forces in NI. The civilians murdered in Bloody Sunday and Ballymurphy were all IRA combatants according to the British at the time. Many still don't accept that the B army would shoot innocent people, despite all evidence.

Multiply that devastation over and over again, 4,000+ times, and you will start to get close to the devastation felt by ordinary people in Gaza, and the same lies that are being told to justify it.

Well I'm 20 years older than @taratee so I grew up right through the very worst of the troubles, and I've been saying the same thing as that poster for a year now. The IRA never promised to destroy Britain, never attacked a music concert, killing thousands, never launched thousands of rockets at British cities etc etc - the list of Hamas tactics that the IRA never did, nor even threatened to do, to the British is loooong.

The truth is that you hate Israel, which you're entitled to do, and want to use the nationalist community in Northern Ireland to "justify that in your own yes - which you're not entitled to do, or at any rate, others are entitled to call you out on your lack of understanding of the same, when you try it.

The far left are so blinded by stupidity it’s incredible

@kravmaga made good points that are exactly on the subject of starting WW3

and to further strengthen his point the favourite dictator of the far left launched an ICBM today into the country he has been waging an imperial war of colonial conquest against for three years (and yet the far left cheer for him)

Every single left leaning person who in this thread (rightfully) cries about Israeli excesses while simultaneously in parallel threads cheers for Russia and Iran and North Korea is a fracking hypocrite who expose themselves to ridicule

There are deplorables on the far right too, we sure as hell have a few of those in those country too, some even running in upcoming elections where I hope they get trounced just as loudly as the locals

But the posters higher up the page are very much on the left often posting in SF threads whose manifesto now includes cutting aid to Ukraine and hence helping Putin win his colonial war of conquest (which is also what Corbyn called for in UK yesterday)

2024 and we have mainstream Left parties actively running on platforms that would help authoritarian dictators gain colonies, one couldn’t make this **** up

So as usual whataboutery as a response? Shocking /s

Trump is a deplorable dipshit (if you read my posts I regularly post against him) and there is nothing I can do about him as I can’t vote in US

Sinn Fein are our local deplorables and I very much can and will vote in our elections

This is a thread about starting WW3

This morning Russia launched an ICBM (minus nuclear warhead) and the largest Left wing party here came out in their manifesto in support of Russian colonial war in upcoming elections here

My reply was aimed at left wingers who attacked @kravmaga s excellent post which rightly pointed at the elephant in the room

It is the height of hypocrisy to be moaning about Israeli colonialism (which is a serious issue that has several threads here) while openly supporting Russian colonialism

In a country that spent 800 years as a colony

And before you bring up Trump again, I equally despise far right and far left politics here, in Europe and US especially the hypocrites

Few posts higher up is IT article about SF manifesto calling to stopping aid to Ukraine (but no mention of Iran, North Korea, India, China doing same) which is the only thing preventing Russia from expanding their new colonies they occupy

If one of the larger parties here put on their manifesto that all aid to Palestinians needs to be cut there be a (rightful) outrage and scandal here

Do you remember the footage of the woman who was shot in the head walking across the street holding her child's hand? Maybe she didn't actually need to be shot that day at that time.

Do you remember the little girl in the car surrounded by her dead family who made the call to emergency services, only for the ambulance coming to try to save her be blown up by the IDF? Perhaps they could have waited to blow up the medical people until the next day

Do you remember those prisoners who were gang raped in the detention centre? That might not actually have been necessary. Perhaps though you have some strategic insight into the benefits to humankind of doing it though.

People have seen through the hypocrisy of western countries who recently took part in two illegal invasions and are still occupying other countries, condemning the illegal invasion and occupation of another country.

ICC have issued arrest warrants for Gallant and Netanyahu.

The International Criminal Court in The Hague said that it had issued warrants for the arrest of Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and its former defence minister Yoav Gallant and Hamas military chief Mohammed Diab Ibrahim Al-Masri (also known as Mohammed Deif).

Very Brave of them to that after the brazen threats from the US promising to go after them and their families.
