    wow, just wow.

    When the mask slips, the reality is clear.

    I stand proudly with the Palestinian people. They are the oppressed. They will get their state from the river to the sea. Mileikowsky has sowed the seeds for Israel's destruction.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,623 ✭✭✭✭blanch152


    You clearly share the objective of the elimination of all the Jews as put forward by Hamas. I admire you for your honesty, if only some others would come clean as well.

    Hi Blanch please show me where I say this and if you can't, which you can't please retract thanks.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,623 ✭✭✭✭blanch152


    You have clearly and unequivocally supported the Hamas call for a state from the river to the sea. This call is based on the elimination of all Jews, now either you don't realise what you are supporting (which I suspect is the case for so many of the Irish supporters of Palestine) or you do realise what you are supporting.

    Those who support a "from the river to the sea" position seek the elimination of the other side. Other posters who share similar sentiments to you have been more equivocal on this point. Unlike them, I suspect you are naively supporting the slogan.

    If you read back my earlier posts from a few months back I do support one nation called Palestine from the river to the sea where Palestinians and Jews live as equal before the law. It is the only solution. I'm still awaiting your apology for saying I wish the elimination of jews etc. I have NEVER once stated that and for you to assume so is silly and offensive. It is Israel who is committing genocide in Gaza. That is simply undeniable no matter how much one supports Israel.

    This is a horrendous reach by you.

    People claiming to be pro-Israeli government seem to have a weird fixation with the idea of Jews being eliminated.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,106 ✭✭✭✭Strazdas


    Interesting that you should frame this as 'two sides'. One is a brutal colonial oppressor and occupier which is in total control of the other and is effectively subjugating them in an open air prison. According to the Zionists, Palestine doesn't even exist, except as a vastly inferior region of Israel.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,143 ✭✭✭threeball


    They keep tugging on the heartstrings of the horrors of WW2 as if it was in any way relevant to the people living in Israel today and ignoring the fact that many survivors of the holocaust have spoken out against the actions of isreal, comparing it to Nazi Germany.

    Settlers attacking the IDF was not on my Bingo card.

    There is only one country in the world whose size increases daily and that is Israel.

    With Israelis' wealth and free access to the world, it is completely fair to question why an apartheid genocidal state that continuously settles neighbouring land need exist at all. There is no requirement for any religion to have its own ethnostate as a base, and being one does not shield it from questions related to its very need to exist. If the Nazis had their own religion, they wouldn't be free from criticism because it might go against their faith. The Third Reich wouldn't be seen as some noble cause as the homeland of the Nazi religion. Like the Nazis and even ISIS, Israel seems to see expansion as key to its existence.

    I don't actually believe that Israel shouldn't exist, so the only answer is a two-state solution and the complete cessation of settlements and the brutality inflicted on Palestinians. Israel has supported Hamas to prevent a Palestinian state from forming. It has wilfully chosen the route of terrorism against its own people and is now undertaking the planned retaliatory ethnic cleansing, a mission from God.

    It is remarkable how much anger is directed at the likes of Iran when Israel supported Hamas more than anybody. Even now, they are supporting other criminal gangs in Gaza that are stealing food and causing violence. They are accelerating settlements in the last couple of years in the West Bank to try and incite violence there so they can justify more war. They are the puppetmasters of Gaza and somehow completely avoid any blame by their supporters when the exact things they support, ie. Hamas, do exactly what Hamas are going to do. October 7th every now and then is simply more palatable to the Israeli population than Palestine being its own state.

    I’m just not getting the “outrage” of the Glastonbury comments - and whatever about the police looking at Bob Vylan comments Kneecap certainly weren’t reported as saying anything that could be interpreted as criminal over the weekend.

    The Israel IDF is a hateful regime who have murdered many innocent people - my own view of kneecap are they were simply “stupid” to shout Up Hezbollah and the prosecution should never have been taken and I do hope it’s thrown out- “death to IDF” is the other side of that coin - I want the Israeli regime tried and convicted for mass murder and genocide- that’s the “legal” way to voice displeasure at Israel -in these times of extremism my own view is the less people act and speak like the abhorrent groups they’re against, the better- but I appreciate it’s not easy right now


    “Police in Somerset say they are assessing comments made on stage by rap punk duo Bob Vylan and Irish-language rap group Kneecap at Glastonbury Festival on Saturday.”

    Thats quite the stretch based on what they posted. You're parroting the typical stuff designed to shut down discussion and opposition. Nowhere in their post did they "unequivocally" "call for the elemination of all Jews".

    I would consider your statements to be slanderous.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 4,079 ✭✭✭dmcdona


    Those who support a "from the river to the sea" position seek the elimination of the other side.

    As has been posted many many times, that Mantra is identical to the Likud stance. Israel wishes to do the same as Hamas.

    In order for neither "side" to complete that goal and "cleanse" the other side from the region, a two-state solution or similar appears to be the only answer.

    The Palestinians are supportive of this. Israel is not. Hence illegal settlements and the cleansing of both Gaza and the West Bank.

    Until agreement is reached, insecurity and death for both sides will continue to exist.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 850 ✭✭✭batman75


    Cheers Circadian. I do consider them slanderous. Her posts went beyond attacking me for which she was warned.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 850 ✭✭✭batman75


    Israel does not want a two state solution. The state of Israel sees Palestinians as sub human. It's a mindset which allows it to commit genocide. It is an apartheid state. Attacking Iran was a colossal mistake from Benjamin Mileikowsky. It has brought Israel's vulnerability out into the open.

    Israel since 1948 has been a settler colonial state and it has failed. It was always going to fail when those who ran it from the get go had a supremacist mindset which viewed the natives as inferior to them and sought to oppress them.

    This evil Hamas that Israel has sought to destroy is the same Hamas that Israel created to divide the Palestinian people by diluting support for the PLO. Yet if you listened to the mainstream media you'd never know Israel had created Hamas.

    Israel cannot exist without American support. The tide is turning in America against Israel. Not yet politically but within the population. They are rightly horrified by the genocide in Gaza. No one can put a timescale on how long Israel as we know it will exist but the clock is ticking.

    And how carefully did you check the validity of the claims made in the report?

    (Oddly, not a word about this report either way on the BBC or CNN - I checked both sites. It's very surprising how many times this exact number comes up in other contexts though, like the number of number of deaths in Yemen: it's such an apparently random number that I wonder whether AI hasn't got involved at some point.)

    At the third attempt Netanyahu’s trial this week has been been put back after a behind closed doors meeting with defence and intelligence chiefs.

    IAEA chief has come out this morning saying enrichment can be carried out by Iran in months.

    It's going to kick off again isn't it ?

    I wouldn't hold out much hope of the BBC or CNN reporting anything that paints Israel in a particularly bad light. The BBC is mired in controversy over the genocide and the editorial processes around reporting it.

    Haaretz reported 2 days ago and estimated 100,000 dead. It'll be hard to get an accurate number considering the sheer destruction and the fact the IDF/Israeli government are refusing entry to human rights bodies and journalists.

    The official reports from the Palestinian health agency are based on visual confirmation so it wouldn't be surprising that the number of dead is even more than that. I do wonder about the report of 377k dead, I've not read it yet. However, I will take reporting from Western media outlets with a pinch of salt as they have been ignoring or under reporting on Gaza for years now.

    I'm not your run of the mill "MSM is fake news" type but having grown up in the north during the troubles, I seen how my own community was portrayed by the British news and maintain a healthy amount of scepticism about their impartiality when it comes to reporting things that may veer too far from the government position.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,106 ✭✭✭✭Strazdas


    I'm literally laughing at the idea that you can engage in 'hate speech' or say 'offensive' things about a terrorist outfit like the IDF. The British media and the political class have completely lost the plot here : as if the IDF is a respectable and upstanding army whose lives might somehow be put at risk by people saying nasty things about them. They are currently bombing the hell out of innocent women and children in Gaza.

    Less than 24 hours to call out a singer at a concert yet can't call out a genocide in nearly 2 years.

    Yes that’s essentially where we are- I saw the Daily Mail yesterday trolling the issue further by quoting Jewish people living in London saying they were frightened and linking this to Nazi Germany 😀-

    again no condemnation whatsoever of the genocide their own UK government are supporting no less the IDF itself -


    hogwash is what I say to those sort of reactions -you give up the right to criticise others when you’re not prepared to criticise your own home counties atrocities first-


    this comparison to Nazi Germany everytime Israel gets criticised is just pathetic at this stage - I just ignore it for the hypocritical bullsh1t and deflection that it is- it’s from the MAGA book of censorship - the Jewish people need to condemn the genocide committed by their ruling government - their claims of Nazism doesn’t wash anymore - we’re not fcking stupid



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,415 ✭✭✭✭A Dub in Glasgo


    It is standard operating procedure for zionists to take what is said and twist into something else whilst at the same time call for the eradication of others.

    All the usual people are foaming at the mouth as they twist Vylan's words from 'Death Death to the IDF' to 'Death Death to the Jews' and 'Death Death to Israelis'. They know they have to do that as even they cannot rationally defend the IDF to people who are not zionists.

    Maybe Vylan was calling out Starmer and all the rest in the captured UK politics & media 'Deaf Deaf to the IDF'



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 4,079 ✭✭✭dmcdona


    The Haaretz report a few days back of the IDF soldiers describing Gaza as a "killing field" resulted in the alleged War Criminal #1 (at large) and Israel Katz calling those soldiers "liars" and accusing them of "blood libels".

    That we've all seen the videos doesn't appear to register with them at all.

    Senior Israeli opposition politicians, lawyers, senior ex-military etc. have been labelled "antisemitic" over the last 18 months.

    The Govt. is ultra aggressive to anyone, including its own, who criticises it.

    The name-calling is reflected here too - I've certainly been called an "Israel hater, Hamas apologist, anti semite" etc.

    Name calling is the last bastion of someone who has utterly lost the argument.

    And don’t get me wrong- I’d prefer if people didn’t shout “death” to anything - but like, any “rational” or “normal” or whatever the term is, human being, would never interpret those comments as “death to all Jews”- not in a million years - but in terms of the regime that’s overseeing genocide? Well I guess boards.ie charters prevent me from expressing my true feelings on those people - needless to say, it involves Monty python levels of torture .



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 8,685 ✭✭✭Odhinn


    It's certainly not the IOF dying in droves -

    "At least 81 Palestinians have been killed and more than 400 injured in Israeli strikes across Gaza in the 24 hours until midday on Saturday, the Hamas-run health ministry said.

    In one incident, at least 11 people, including children, were killed after a strike near a stadium in Gaza City, Al-Shifa hospital staff and witnesses told news agencies. The stadium was being used to house displaced people, living in tents.

    Footage verified by the BBC shows people digging through the sand with their bare hands and spades to find bodies."

    Public figures in the UK who say they are offended by derogatory comments about the IDF may not realise it, but are outing themselves as firm supporters of the genocide - to be so offended means they are fine with the multiple accusations of war crimes against the organisation and believe them not to be true (or worse still, don't even care if they are true or not).

    Starmer is an utter disgrace. Quite happy to collect a cheque and keep his mouth shut. What kind of human rights lawyer stays quiet in the face of such overwhelming evidence. Not only stays quiet but actively supports the bombing.

    Theres some excuse for Trump. Hes just a mentally deranged idiot. Starmer on the other hand is a dangerous evil twat who pretended for years to be something he is absolute not. Morally principled

    Words, just empty words. How many bombs has Britain sent since the genocide became obvious. How many times has it come out in support of Israel breaking international law?

    If they really cared, they'd do something.
