    Well Israel have managed to slaughter 47,000 Palestinians many of them women and children and they will probably slaughter another 40 or so before the cease fire kicks in tomorrow. If ever there was a doubt then the Israelis have shown who the real tyrants are, it will never be forgotten.

    Hamas already parading the streets in Gaza vowing to kill more people and end Israel. The same hamas who hacked the heads off anyone they could find when they crossed the border and cut the achilles tendons of raped women so they couldnt escape. If they had the capacity to kill everyone in Israel before the ceasefire or at any time then they would. But yes, Israel are the bloodthirsty tyrants.

    Any mention in the treaty of how the IDF will get their kicks after the peace? They seem to have moved a lot of their troops into the WB so will we see more land grabs there?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,633 ✭✭✭✭Igotadose


    Yeah, that lot never called on Hamas to surrender the hostages and stop shooting rockets. My guess is they're disappointed more Israeli's weren't killed, advocating for the destruction of the state of Israel is what gets them to post in the a.m..

    This war could've been over a long time ago except for all the support Hamas got.

    Right, you dont think a ceasefire is a good thing. Its clear you want this war to continue. All your negative posts over the last week make this clear.

    But what I find puzzeling is that you wanted a ceasefire for months. Now that its here, you dont want one.
    It seems that you enjoy posting about war and death.

    Hmmm - so you're saying that all those who support Hamas (a recognised terrorist organisation) are in fact not terrorists?

    Did those who supported the PIRA in the past were terrorists? Or 'convicted' terrorists?

    No they werent.

    There is a difference between supporting a terrorist organisation, to being a convicted terrorist. This is simple stuff.

    As to Gvir, as I said, he is a piece of work, but a convicted terrorist he isnt. This is just a fact.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,309 ✭✭✭✭markodaly


    The last thing Hamas cheerleaders wanted was peace.

    This x10000

    We have had months and months of posters asking for a ceasefire.
    Now we are hours away from it being enacted, and is it good enough?
    No.

    It seems their real love is posting about how 'evil' Israel is, and if Palestinians dying meant they had more ammo, then so be it. A very odd way of thinking.

    I for one is very glad there is now a ceasefire.


    Hostages get to go home, Hamas dont get a say in the running of Gaza anymore, the IDF disengages from Gaza, and innocent people no longer have to die in the crossfire…

    These are all GOOD things. But many folks here, are deeply upset at this peace. Maybe they are the warmongers?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,309 ✭✭✭✭markodaly


    Your talking points are akin to hate speech tbh.
    Do you think Israelis have some innate blood lust?
    Do you think a ceasefire is a good thing or a bad thing? Me thinks you are upset that there is a ceasefire.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,309 ✭✭✭✭markodaly


    Though you are clearly defending Ben- Gvir's terrorist invocations. So yes - you are defending him and have posted such defence.

    I missed this nonsense.
    Please quote me on where I am defending Gvir's 'terrorist invocations'. Calling out a mistruth about him being a convicted terrorist is not a defence on what he says or does. That is just lowball stuff.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,274 ✭✭✭✭Strazdas


    Is it a surprise that Netanyahu and the IDF have acted as recruiting agents for Hamas though? Everyone in the West seems fine with the idea of Israel wanting extreme revenge for the events of October 7th, but this apparently doesn't apply to the bombardment of Gaza for the last 16 months (and I'm saying this as someone who has no time whatsoever for Hamas).

    Radio 1 now. Irish woman working in field hospital in Gaza.

    What are they doing in the Hyacinth House?

    There is no such thing as a hard-nosed world of business, certainly not in Saudi Arabia. Do you think that if Pride offered the most money to sponsor the Saudi League that they would accept it?

    Not a chance, and you know it.

    Now do you think that "hard-nosed" Saudi businessmen prefer working with Indians? Seriously?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,784 ✭✭✭dmcdona


    I clearly stated a ceasefire was a good thing in my posts - so clearly you are just baiting.

    The issue that was being debated that I don't agree with is that Israel will stop the killing on the implementation of the ceasefire.

    And isn't it evident that all the pro Israelis, gushing over the pager bombs for example, have only wanted the destruction of Gaza since day one? Heck, they've even justified the raping of Palestinian prisoners.

    If anyone has enjoyed posting about war and death has been the pro Israelis and of course the IDF tik tok war criminal stars.

    Do feel free to continue to bait and troll and misrepresent my posts - I'll defend my position with clear evidence.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,332 ✭✭✭SeanW


    1. Has anyone on this thread defending raping prisoners?
    2. The fact that Israel's opponents condemned the pager bombs demonstrate that claims such as "Israel has the right to defend itself, but not to kill tens of thousands and drop 2000 pound bombs into urban centres" type of responses to be absolute BS. Because the Hezbollah pager bombs were surgically precise that mostly killed their targets and caused very little collateral damage. Yet still Israel was criticised, why?

    You can call such a person an "Israelnik" if you want. Some might also accept "opponent of the CRINKs bloc" "supporter of Western civilisation" "Person who believes Israel has the right to exist and to defend itself as robustly as it needs to." If you really wanted to get pointed, you could call such a person a Philo-Semite.

    Complete whataboutery! Israe have the capacity and are slaughtering civilians while you're more concerned about what Hamas might do IF they had the capacity.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,332 ✭✭✭SeanW


    So in your view, the Jews should be like "sure Hamas wants to kill us all, but they don't have the capacity to do it right now, so we should just sit around and twiddle our thumbs?"

    Some Jews want Israel to stop slaughtering women and children



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,338 ✭✭✭rolling boh


    Only a matter of time before Israel finds something so they can continue to murder Palestinians so I doubt this ceasefire will last long ,hopefully it's not the case and Hamas don't start another pointless attack as well .



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,897 ✭✭✭xhomelezz

    Fooking ridiculous, not the first time around..



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,635 ✭✭✭Musicrules


    They should kill all the Palestinians just in case any of them ever join hamas. That's the final solution?

    And obviously in your view, which you are entitled to, its ok to slaughter civilians, men women and children, as if they were fish in a barrel! A horrible nation.



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


    I agree SeanW. It's terrible the way people don't accept this simple logic. It's like people that go on and on and on about the Germans not waiting around twiddling their to rid themselves of what they saw as their threats too back in the 30's and 40's as if they weren't doing the right thing. Both arguments are logically the same. Why can't they be consistent like you and see that the argument applies equally to both and that both were perfectly fine? Not only that, but both were chosen people according to themselves.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,931 ✭✭✭✭riffmongous


    That post does strike me as an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory though.

    All the same, you can be a supporter of Israel and Zionism and still be an anti-semite at heart, or subconsciously.

    American extreme Evangelicals are one bizarre example, but even here you can see there's quite a few folk who's support for Israel is firmly due to it's politics being perceived as being anti-muslim and anti-left.. and we all know what side of the mob these people would have stood on 100 years ago..



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 772 ✭✭✭Miniegg


    As a "supporter of Western civilisation" - what exactly is it you value in Western civilization?

    I am also a supporter of Western civilization (since the empires fell given our prosperity since Independence), the peace that was built between incredibly warlike nations since WW2, the growth of democracy, and hand in hand with that the implementation of just and fair laws that are in place to protect the people who live in them, including international law.

    That is what sets us apart from Russia, from China, Iran etc etc. Not that we have bigger bombs, though having them is necessary.

    I feel Israeli and USA conduct here is **** all over the things I value about Western civilization, it is dragging us all down a hole.

    Beating down and blowing up Muslims doesn't make Western civilization strong. If one feels genocide needs to be done to prop up our values, then we are all in an extremely perilous place, but that threat is from the inside - not from Palestinians.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,784 ✭✭✭dmcdona


    Not ridiculous at all - just read back through the thread - it's very evident.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,784 ✭✭✭dmcdona


    You seem to think that since a ceasefire is imminent, Israel will immediately stop killing and they are fully exonerated from all atrocities and war crimes that predated it. And this that point this out are somehow warmongers?

    Magical thinking.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,784 ✭✭✭dmcdona


    Hmm. Let's see. Do you condemn the anal rape of Palestinian prisoners and do you condemn Israel's refusal to allow the UN to independently investigate those claims?

    Do you condemn the slaughter of innocent innocent civilians in the pager attack?

    Your previous posts have refused to condemn any of the killing in Gaza and the war crimes and genocide of Israel. Maybe you're having a change of heart?

    I'll not hold my breath if you don't mind.

    I don't support/defend anyone raping anyone. As for the pager attack, my understanding is that these attacks were as surgical as possible given the circumstances, and that collateral damage - while not zero - was limited.

    As for the so-called "genocide," these are the things that have happened in all-out wars throughout history. For example, nobody in the US or the free part of Europe was complaining about the number of Japanese/German civilians killed or claiming that WWII should have ended with a peaceful settlement with the Nazis because of the destruction in Germany was too great.

    That would have been beyond silly. Yet the Jews are being asked to do exactly that - seek peace and co-existence with groups that are implacably committed to their utter annihilation.

    As for the so-called genocide, I think it's quite telling that the country that accused them (South Africa) is either a passive or active supporter of genocide, as long as it's the right sort of genocide. The government of that country is trying to get closer to both Putin and Xi of China, who between them are currently conducting at least 4 ongoing genocides (Ukrainians, Tibetans, Uighurs and Inner Mongolians). Their main opposition party, the EFF, goes further and explicitly supports all of this and much more.

    So you'll have to forgive me if I don't take an accusation of "genocide" by a CRINK or their allies (e.g. South Africa) very seriously.
