Hamas strike on Israel

I'm cool with that. I'm not a heartless bastard and see it as a solid investment in people who have huge potential to contribute.

I'm more concerned about our governments ability to ACTUALLY waste money and continue to half ass the property cost issue because the majority of them are landlords. Hitting Airbnb and placing strict rules on what can be a BNB would directly impact rents and property prices.

Our property market has been hugely commodified, it's supercharged by this ****. This has a direct impact on literally everything else.

Investing in people who are living in hell on earth is not the problem. No matter how easy it is to blame immigrants and asylum seekers, they aren't the problem.

Posts an anti-semitic trope. Then claims the Irish are anti-semitic.

Honestly you couldn't make it up...

That is your standard whatabout Israel response.

It has been this way from October 7th onwards, release the hostages, surrender those who planned the horrific terrorist attacks and all this would be over. Unfortunately, Hamas put their own interests ahead of the welfare of their own people.

If what you say is true, that only adds to the mystery of why Hamas haven't released the hostages and called his bluff.

The MENA (Middle East North Africa) region is really big, should be able to find refuge somewhere there … right?

Antisemitism is a hatred or prejudice towards jews simply for being jews. It's the same as racism. It's what's termed an ontological crime. It's a hatred of someone simply for being something. So a dislike of jewish people for being jewish. A dislike of black people for being black. A dislike of muslims for being muslim.

For antisemitism it doesn't matter who the person is. It doesn't matter what they believe or what they do. It matters what they are.

There are some muslims I hate because they are horrible people. I don't hate all muslims. Just the ones who have committed horrific actions.

Likewise I feel the same about jewish people. I dislike the ones who feel it's ok to bomb children in gaza. But it has nothing to do with what they are (jewish) it's about who they are (assholes).

If you try to say that because we think some jewish people like far right zionists are nasty people, it means we're antisemitic, then you're just stretching.

Antisemitism does exists. just like racism exists. And honestly it is horrible. And trying to claim that someone who is against israeli actions in gaza/West bank is antisemitic, distracts from actual antisemitism.

Getting harder for them to hide their out-n-out racism...

Was it my imagination or did Trump look pissed off when Netanyahu handed over the nomination papers in front of the cameras? Even the Trumpster must have known that to be nominated by a wanted war criminal for the Nobel prize was an absolute terrible look.

Wait a minute, are you saying like some other posters appear to be saying that Hamas should be allowed to continue holding hostages?

Lets face it, even if all the hostages were released tomorrow, Israel would still bomb. The military in Israel have said that there's no military objective left. They said that before the last ceasefire. And yet Israel still broke the ceasefire, which would have brought the hostages home, just so they could bomb with no military objective. And then they starved the entire population.

The Israeli government doesn't want the hostages back. They've deliberately blocked the return of the hostages.

Now they've got a plan to herd hundreds of thousands into a ghetto. Their plan is to ethnically cleanse the gaza strip.
