    That post does not call for ethnic cleansing.

    It's telling that you'd like it to read that way though.

    People will thank any dubious post as long as its along the lines of Israel is the devil. You give a great account of Barak criticising Israel, then qualify it by saying he is of dubious character because of his association with Epstein. You're all over the place. While not agreeing with Potatoeman in any way, your posts certainly contain genocidal intent with your wish for any "non native" Jews to go back to their own country. Your solutions are a flip flop of views.

    I recall a very recent post stating that rather than starvation, recent pictures of children in Gaza were of congenital defects etc.

    And it's unsurprising that pro-Israeli posts are very thin on the ground. Why is there utter condemnation of one side only?

    You imagine bigotry against jews and then proceed to be bigotted about muslims,

    Worth posting this story from ex-US contractor Anthony Agular whistleblowing on the GHFs sites.

    https://x.com/_ZachFoster/status/1950048119862767929

    “We treat these civilians in Gaza worse, with less dignity than we treated the ISIS fighters that surrendered at Baghuz Fawqani in Syria in 2018 … On May 28, at secure distribution site #2, this young boy, Amir, walks over to me, reaches out & kisses my hand. This boy is not wearing shoes. His clothes are falling off of him because he is so skinny …. He doesn’t have a box … he has half a bag of rice , lentils, and he was thanking us … ... He walked 12 kilometers to get there … & when he got there he thanked us for the crumbs he got … & he set them on the ground & his frail, skeletal, emaciated hands, and he kissed me and said 'thank you.' And then he collected his items, walked back to the group, and then he was shot at with pepper spray, and tear gas, and stunt grenades, and bullets, and he was shot at, at his feet and in the air, and he runs away... ...and the IDF were shooting at the crowd … they are shooting … and they are shooting into this crowd & Palestinians, civilians, human beings, are dropping to the ground, and Amir was one of them... Amir walked 12 kilometers to get food, got nothing but scraps, thanked us for it, and died.

    These are somehow the enemies?

    Also in a moment of twisted levity:

    https://jewishjournal.com/commentary/opinion/372762/is-god-an-antisemite/

    Rabbi Schmuley accuses god of being an antisemite. :rolleyes:

    The lack of self-awareness is mindblowing…

    Irish people, our country, which people seem to have no issue importing every chancer from every backwards country to live off the Irish taxpayers money.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,113 ✭✭✭✭Strazdas


    This garbage is all they have. As the terrorist state is incapable of carrying out genocide (in their minds), there must be some other reason for the images coming out of Gaza : either the children were already sick and emaciated before the forced starvation or the images are faked or staged.

    It's certainly fascinating to watch how they simply can't handle the rancid ideology of Zionism being exposed and slated like this.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,164 ✭✭✭Spudmonkey


    Lad, you used Palestinians dancing in the street at the result of 9/11 as a chance to have your little anti-immigration rant. First off I'm not American, the Palestinians never attacked us. Why you think we should somehow equate an attack on America as an attack on us doesn't really make sense to me. Also it was al-Qaeda who attacked America then, not the Palestinians. What's more but the US regime seem to have made peace with al-Qaeda now, much to the surprise of a lot of people over there.

    Here's a crazy thought. If you don't want refugees in your country, stop supporting policies that create refugees…

    I'm an Irish person and you certainly do not speak for me with your anti-muslim/anti-immigration tirade.

    I have Palestinian neighbours living a few doors away from me. Lovely, friendly couple with two children who play with the other kids on the street. He owns a restaurant in town.

    You believe myself and my Irish neighbours should shun these people and their kids just because of where they come from?

    Question also goes to the 2 people who thanked your post.

    The vast majority of immigrants come here to work and they contribute to the economy and society.

    Asylum seekers would do the same if they were allowed to work.

    What do you think will come of Israels actions? It'll destabilise the entire region, leading to MORE immigration to Western Europe. So what do you hate more, Muslims or Muslim immigrants?

    "Settlers" in the West Bank strike again

    "Awdah Hathaleen, a Palestinian activist and journalist who helped make the Oscar-winning documentary No Other Land, has been killed during an attack by Israeli settlers in the south Hebron hills.

    The attack on Monday was captured on video, which appears to show an Israeli settler, Yinon Levi, who was put under sanctions by the US president, Joe Biden, then removed from the sanctions list by Donald Trump, firing his gun wildly at the time of the killing."

    Are we a part of Western civilisation with the generous attitude to differences, with the equal rights for women and LGBTQ+?

    Or are we a part of Middle Eastern civilisation with a rejection of outsiders, with oppression of women and LGBTQ+?

    Are we neutral in any conflict between those two viewpoints?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,770 ✭✭✭circadian




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,665 ✭✭✭✭blanch152


    I was replying to a post about the Al-Qaeda 9/11 attacks on the US. Are you suggesting that they were genocidal?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,115 ✭✭✭Miniegg


    Are we part of a Western civilization that is complicit in one of our own countries committing genocide, mass starvation of millions of people, indiscriminate bombing of civilians, and the killing of tens of thousands of children, without sanction?

    Or are we part of Western civilization that believes in democracy, human rights, holding those to account who commit warcrimes, and all of the things you profess to believe in in your first sentence?

    You can't say we have a generous attitude to differences when we are allowing one of our own countries to kill tens of thousands of innocent civilians and starve millions more - because they are Muslim - all without sanction from us.

    You can't say we treat women well, when one of our own countries is killing tens of thousands of innocent women, all without sanction from us.

    If you believe in what you said above, you are destroying Western values far more than they could ever do in your consistent defense of this slaughter.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 4,094 ✭✭✭dmcdona


    Are you saying the entire ME rejects outsiders and oppresses women etc?

    Perhaps there's more than two viewpoints?

    Or do you only have two to advance some kind of bigoted agenda?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 4,094 ✭✭✭dmcdona


    I'm very happy for my tax to support those less fortunate than me - both in Ireland and funding overseas aid and support - like UNIFIL and UNRWA.

    I do have a serious issue with my tax being used to pay bigots and racists.

    I sincerely hope you never end up having to rely on state aid.

    I fully support anything and everything the Irish Govt. does in Gaza or for Gaza including recognising the State of Palestine and calling out Israeli atrocities.

    Pants on fire alleged War Criminal #1 (at large) is at it again:

    BBC:

    Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected accusations of a starvation taking place in Gaza. Speaking on Sunday, he said: “What a bold-faced lie. There is no policy of starvation in Gaza, and there is no starvation in Gaza."

    the BBC live web page today is desperate…

    Loads of random questions. Do you answer any yourself?

    For example, have Israel committed any war crimes in Gaza?

    What are they doing in the Hyacinth House?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,164 ✭✭✭Spudmonkey


    Honestly man, this is the weakest possible defense of what's being perpetrated in the ME. You know this is what the West fell back on after invading Iraq on a complete lie (and causing the deaths of ~1M people)? Doing it to liberate both the woman and the gay community…. How did that work out? How did it help the people of Libya, Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, etc etc etc….

    Should we be a supporter of a western civilization that outsources its oppression rather than keeping it inhouse? mmmm… no. In fact I fail to see how that is in anyway better tbh…. How does starving 2M people liberate oppressed minorities, other than just treating them all equally I suppose; men, women, children, gay, terrorist alike…

    I mean considering we're all far-Left Marxists here for opposing genocide, perhaps ask one of the far-Right of their position on liberating women and LGBTQ+ people in the ME. Not sure those ideologies align really…

    Also why are they not bombing SA, Qatar, Dubai etc? Hardly liberal bastions of women + minorities rights…

    What about the Israeli tours to watch the bombing of innocents and mass destruction of their homes, hospitals, schools etc ?? Haven't heard your opinion on that but I'd like to know ??



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 55,029 ✭✭✭✭tayto lover


    Good job OUR people were not treated as '' chancers '' when they emigrated during our famine with nothing only the clothes on their backs. Your hate for Arabs is very noticeable..



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 55,029 ✭✭✭✭tayto lover


    The cruelty and joy the IDF get from murdering children knows no bounds.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,164 ✭✭✭Spudmonkey


    They are pretty fucked up tbf and its not just rogue agents really. Its state policy..

    https://x.com/xIsraelExposedx

    This lot are collating Israeli war crimes and sending them to the ICC. Tick-tock, tick-tock.

    There will be Palestinian holocaust museums in the future where people will question how this was allowed to happen again..



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,665 ✭✭✭✭blanch152


    Maybe you could point me towards a country or regime in the Middle East that doesn't oppress women and LGBTQ+?

    Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Syria, Oman, Qatar, Turkey, Saudi, UAE, Yemen and Bahrain, any of those?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,770 ✭✭✭circadian


    If I wanted to go look up these reports, where would I find them?
