Hamas strike on Israel - mod warning in OP updated 19/10/23

It's crazy and clear they are going against the majority of their people.

Despite some of the vocal people on here, most people are horrified by what is going on - I'm sure it's the same throughout Europe

I'm a shades of grey person normally, but this is black and white wrong what is happening, with the thinnest of thin lies and absolute nonsensical horsh*t justifying it. That starvation is being used against millions of people by "one of our own", and all of our politicians are enabling it, is mind blowing.

Our politicians in power in Europe, who are supposed to show at least a trace of common sense and morality, are abandoning it all to go along with this evil farce.

Yea and look I'm having a rant, obviously not saying we need to deliver aid using balistic missiles.

My point is they aren't some all powerful omnipotent country. They are a country the size of munster with a few million people living in it, they shouldn't be able to kill torture and starve people in order to annex their land, and there isn't a single country or group of countries can do anything about it.

I don't understand how an obvious solution of giving food to ease starvation, which is a universally moral concept, is being shouted down in every government in power in Europe/ Asia / Africa / Americas.

Colonists on the rampage, Palestinians suffer the cost -

Very nice, thoughtful piece in the Guardian about what Gaza was for those who inhabited it, before the Israeli genocide:

Pity the folk they ‘elected’ decided to invade Israel and capture and slaughter people.

Does every countries civilians deserve whatever violence happens to them if their "elected" representatives do something bad, or just Muslims Brendan?

For example, if hundreds of thousands men women and children were being butchered in Israel (whose actually elected government are being investigated for genocide and it's leaders wanted for crimes against humanity), would you similarly shrug your shoulders and post something as c*ntish as "pity the folk they elected decided to invade Palestine and capture and slaughter people"?

Id have marginally more respect for you if you would. Although your post would still be sociopathic, at least you wouldn't be a hypocrite in top of it.

Secondly - and I'm asking you to look this up if you would.

When were Hamas elected?

What is the average age of Palestinains killed in this "war"?

Thanks

It shows the power and influence that Israel has over the politics of Europe, Britain and America. Way, way, too much power and influence and always for the worst.

Interesting that you are seeking to justify the Israeli genocide, rather than denying it is happening i.e. "they brought it on themselves".

another grey one

When our politicians (e.g. Michael D) were calling out Israel's atrocities last year, we had posters going bananas and wanting them silenced asap.

Most of that gibberish is the usual right vs left bollocks. There's a number of posters on here who can only see things in those simplistic terms and are willing to die on any hill, no matter how ridiculous they look, just because "their team" is involved. If Israel was run by a left leaning government, they'd be signing a completely different song.

There's no point in even acknowledging people like that, never mind trying have a conversation with them. They aren't here to converse honestly and are only repeating the points that their political masters have laid out for them.

It's one thing to support Israel, but it's an entirely different matter to support what Netanyahu's Israel is doing. You really have to lower yourself to do that.
