    I've made it quite clear I am no fan of Beni.

    However, you ignore the fact that Israel is a parlimentary democracy and he hasn't been returned as such. This is a coalition government, a very cobbled together coalition.

    It goes without stating that a return to a more centerist government would be good for everyone.

    There is also a very good chance he will be gone in the next election. He's only around 23% on the last election vote.

    Can you say the same about Gaza? Would Hamas be voted out tomorrow if there was an election?

    You've taken that post, which was a response to another post, out of context.

    What do you think about senior Israelis calling Palestinians "human animals"? Are you embarrassed by that?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,253 ✭✭✭Bishop of hope


    Bizarre, I never mentioned jewish people either! Why would you insert that?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 774 ✭✭✭Miniegg


    The mental gymnastics is astounding

    Hamas on the other hand will allow the death of every Palestinian in Gaza to persue their demented ideology

    What about the people who actually commit the acts that cause the deaths of "every Palestinian"? Are they absolved of all responsibly in your little monologue?

    Do you have any opinions on these latest airstrikes? Over 400 dead now, mostly women and kids, and approx 500 seriously injured. No warning, peace has ended by form what I can see is a rogue actor in these negotiations - ceasefire broken, people's lives ripped apart again and the cycle of horror continues. Not to mention the future of the hostages up in the air again.

    Do you put this on your little category of "**** happens", like all the other massacres?

    Israel are the most evil government in human history

    Israel blocked all aid into Gaza 2 weeks ago. This means that the healthcare workers and innocent civilians don't have enough medical supplies to treat the wounded. This fact has been repeated by various charities all day on the radio including UNICEF. They are running short of food again. Collective Punishment is illegal. This was all planned. Netanyahu had no intention of keeping the ceasefire. I doubt Hamas have a bullet or rocket to rub together at this point so who are the IDF fighting exactly? What is the war aim now? What validates killing 174 children? Sick cowardly fuckers.

    What are they doing in the Hyacinth House?

    No. No lies. Although you are clearly someone who thinks whatever pops into their head is reality.

    I was in Israel. I did discuss going to Gaza on my first trip. I naively though you could just stroll down to the border. I was told the reality, and that it was too dangerous anyway. However, difficult is not impossible,and i did consider persuing it for a while but decided against. Happy?

    44% of the Palestinians did vote for Hamas in 2006!

    The general go-to for peole like you is to claim this is a once off and that people didn't have a chance to vote since, which is of course true. However,

    You ignore the fact that Hamas have been popular the entire duration of their rule.

    You ignore that Abbas cancelled elections a few years back because he was afraid of losing the West Bank to Hamas too.

    You ignore that Hamas surge in popularity in polls in the immediate aftermath of commiting atrocities.

    You ignore that they are hugly popular right now.

    You do provide a simlistic narrative about the emergence of Terrorist organisations. Copying and pasting from wikipedia doesn't enhace your arguement. You choose to post the Keegan Hitler quote. I choose to point out how imbecilic it was.

    You called my assertion that Hamas be ****ing off soon as claptrap, but that will be the final result here. I called it right months ago. The arab nations will not hand over cash to rebuild with Hamas in power, simple as.

    It is abundantly clear that BN has no interest in the return of hostages. As this surgeon succintly describes



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 511 ✭✭✭sheepysheep


    It's not though.

    Gaza is a failed terrorist entity, and Palestine is the Pariah state, and has been for years. The other Arab nations are looking ot normalise relations with Israel and that process will continue after the war ends.

    Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Kuwait have all had their bad experiences with Palestine/PLO and thus it remains the outcast.

    Ursula Von der Leyen will be out shortly to announce another round of sanctions against Israel for its fresh slaughter of children and illegal occupation of land.

    No. No lies. Although you are clearly someone who thinks whatever pops into their head is reality.

    Well, this is 'crystal clear' ranting. Do you have your fingers in your ears as you shout 'No. No. Lies'. I've used your own words against you and, I understand, it's inconvenient for you. But not 'lies' unfortunately.

    I was in Israel. I did discuss going to Gaza on my first trip. I naively though you could just stroll down to the border. I was told the reality, and that it was too dangerous anyway. However, difficult is not impossible,and i did consider persuing it for a while but decided against. Happy?

    Yeah….sure.

    44% of the Palestinians did vote for Hamas in 2006!

    Yes. In 2006. I never disagreed with the percentage. What I did show you, which you ignored conveniently, is that of todays Gazan population approx 70% weren't born of of voting age. You again parade this as if they voted recently.

    The general go-to for peole like you is to claim this is a once off and that people didn't have a chance to vote since, which is of course true. However,

    As per your own works (again) that vote was in 2006; there hasn't been one since so……They. Have not. Had. A. Chance. To. Vote. Since.

    You ignore the fact that Hamas have been popular the entire duration of their rule.

    I haven't. You made this bit up. Again.

    You ignore that Abbas cancelled elections a few years back because he was afraid of losing the West Bank to Hamas too.

    I haven't. You made this bit up. Again.

    You ignore that Hamas surge in popularity in polls in the immediate aftermath of commiting atrocities.

    I haven't. You made this bit up. Again.

    You ignore that they are hugly popular right now.

    I haven't. You made this bit up. Again.

    You do provide a simlistic narrative

    The ignorant irony.

    .about the emergence of Terrorist organisations. Copying and pasting from wikipedia doesn't enhace your arguement. You choose to post the Keegan Hitler quote.

    Well then tell the group how the emergence of terrorist groups differ in your opinion. Or is that too simplistic to do?

    You choose to post the Keegan Hitler quote.

    Again, you fail to understand the quote; you simply saw 'Hitler' and latched on to it incorrectly. It's specifically reflects on terrorism and it's origins. Or was it 'Too simplistic'

    I choose to point out how imbecilic it was.

    You haven't pointed out anything; you just ignored the facts and skirt around them. In normal discourse, you cant just call it 'imbecilic' because you don't like it.

    You called my assertion that Hamas be ****ing off soon as claptrap, but that will be the final result here.

    The "Final Result"….I doubt you have the morality, depth or cognisance to recognise what else that phrase sounds extremely familiar to.

    You should be ashamed, but as you have no issue putting it down for everyone to see, similar to your "favourite quote", its clear this is completely lost on you.

    The issue with your "Final Result" is that the IDF are not differentiating innocent Palestinians from Hamas. But this is obvious and you just don't care.

    But tell us again how Israel isn't an oppressive party.

    I called it right months ago. The arab nations will not hand over cash to rebuild with Hamas in power, simple as.

    That's not the current issue we are all discussing and reacting to with general disgust. You, as usual, are happy to ignore that bit.

    But they're close to getting your "Final Result"



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,000 ✭✭✭Suckler


    It clearly isn't. The poster has explained it clearly for you.

    But you're scrambling now so you need to start throwing out labels.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 511 ✭✭✭sheepysheep


    No, you used antisemic trope language to make a point, which is the whole point of using that language.

    It provides 'Plausible Deniability' in the event that you are called out on it which I just did.

    However, the target audience recognise it for the wolf whistle it is.

    If you had wanted to refer to Beni or the government you would have taken the time to write it. It's faily common, and pretty transparent what you did.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,000 ✭✭✭Suckler


    Let's just summarise @sheepysheep's position in two quotes:

    "Israel are not oppressing millions of people"

    But as Israel break a cease fire and bomb civilians…

    "..that will be the final result here."

    Depraved and shameful and then has the audacity to wax lyrical about others "Wolf whistle"



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 511 ✭✭✭sheepysheep


    They have voting rights if they are Israeli citizens, which is more than they have anywhere else under hamas or abbas.

    Would you say arabs in east jerusalem are more or less oppressed by the israelis than arabs in gaza are by hamas?

    Where would you plant your oxters?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,000 ✭✭✭Suckler


    They have voting rights if they are Israeli citizens, 

    In east Jerusalem they can vote; but have no political representation….so let's not portray it as fair as you'd like to misrepresent it as.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 774 ✭✭✭Miniegg


    Sure every post is antisemetic to you - it's like your catchphrase. The problem is, when a poster comes along that is, noone will listen to you.

    Any opinions on this latest bombing anyway? **** happens again is it? It's not actually antisemetic to criticize the IDF you know, you can be a human being and condemn the bombing of hundreds of civilians without warning.

    I'm unaware of that trope, I said the Israeli regime resembled demons because they lack basic human empathy and appear to have an insatiable bloodlust towards the innocent including children.

    There was no need to write anything more since it was a quote reply to a post on "Israeli fuckers" related to the genocide. Hope that helps and I await your apology though I suspect you're not here posting in good faith.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,459 ✭✭✭Odhinn


    They have voting rights if they are Israeli citizens,

    They aren't recognised as Israeli citizens.

    Would you say arabs in east jerusalem are more or less oppressed by the israelis than arabs in gaza are by hamas?

    Palestinians in Gaza didn't live in fear of expulsion on dubious grounds or other forms of discrimination.

    Where would you plant your oxters?

    A false dichotomy. In neither.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,459 ✭✭✭Odhinn


    They can only vote in local elections and are barred from running for the post of mayor.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 601 ✭✭✭DayInTheBog


    It means that Hamas haven't been able to rob supplies and restock.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 776 ✭✭✭Rugbyf565


    I stand with Hamas



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 601 ✭✭✭DayInTheBog


    They have a Palestinian supreme court judge sitting in Israeli courts. Tell me he has no rights and can't vote.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,459 ✭✭✭Odhinn


    Is he from the West Bank, Golan or Arab East Jerusalem?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 511 ✭✭✭sheepysheep


    Your getting both pathetic and abusive now.

    I do of course realise that you are implying that I am referring to a Nazi style 'Final Solution'. I wasn't of course, but it clearly matters to you to suggest that I was.

    And, as someone who has been to Auschwitz Birkenau and have seen what gas chambers and concentration camps look like, I can only say you are a very pathetic, angry fool to make such a scummy comment.

    You, predictably, completly ignore my point on the 2006 electio result. So I'll make it even more clear.

    Just becasue there hasn't been an election in 20 years,doesn't mean that there haven't been polls that show that Hamas is hugely popular.

    You concentrate on the absence of election in order to deflect from the reality that Hamas, a terrorist organisation, are the most popular political party in Gaza, and the sad reality that they could easily win an election.

    This poll puts them at 37%. Shocking support for an Islamic Jihadist party.

    https://www.pcpsr.org/en/node/99

    37%. Of. The. Gaza. Population. Will. vote. for Hamas. Tomorrow.

    Did i do it right? I hope i did. It was so impressive when you did it. Made you look so serious, not like a child at all.

    Keegan is just one of many Historians with their own opinion.

    For instance, historian S.P. MacKenzie describes Keegan's 1997 Revolutionary Armies in the Modern Era: A Revisionist Approach as "too flawed to be recommended as an undergraduate text".

    It's also arguable that they are not a 'traditional' terrorist organisation anyway. They're an Islamic JIhadist group. They derive the source of their justification from purely religious fanatism. Sinwar wasn't even a Palestinain nationalist. He just wanted to destroy the state of Israel.

    Was Is Israel. Lovely spot. Great People. Great country. Would go back again in a heartbeat.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 511 ✭✭✭sheepysheep


    Well! As long as you're only replying to people posting 'Israeli ****ers', I guess all's right with the world. Go back and substitute in 'Irish' or 'Black' and see how comfortable you are making that reply.
