Israel/Palestine Thread

It’s been incredible to see just how desperate the Israeli denial propaganda has become.

“We are not starving healthy children, we are starving disabled children” is not the win they think it is.

Yes, it's clearly a better option to starve the population just in case Hamas might get some of it. Did you actually think any of this through before clicking Post Comment?

The more I think about this post the more annoyed I am about it. Have you actually looked at what's going with aid, or lack thereof, getting into Gaza? Have you not seen anything about starving people being murdered while lining up for food after trekking for 12 kilometers in some cases? What's more likely, 'but Hamas' or Israel deliberately starving the Palestinians so either they'll leave or else just die? Hint: this is why people are using terms like Genocide, ethnic cleansing, war crimes, crimes against humanity etc.

Is starvation of a population ever legitimate in order to stop your enemy combatants from eating? That's a weird goalpost that was shifted in Israel's favour, even though it is a clear and obvious war crime. Israel supporters actually seem to think it's ok to prevent a country from eating if it is militarily successful.

Like everything else Israel does, it goes back to the Nazis. Hitler's U-Boats were used to try and starve Britain by attacking shipments from America, and the siege of Leningrad also starved people. It's rather amazing that they are building a concentration camp that would make Hitler blush, but with the support of the world.

Israel funds parts of the European far right because they see them as a means to vilify and dehumanise Muslims as a common enemy.

One of the main reason the 'Hamas are stealing all the food' idea is utter nonsense is the sheer volumes involved. A small militia or militant group busy fighting the IDF would be in a position to steal enough food for 2 million people…….really? That would mean them hijacking hundreds of aid trucks a day and being able to store these hundreds of trucks somewhere in the completely flattened Gaza and without being attacked by the Israelis.

Very true but I think the Palestinians would be better off without Hamas and may get better international support without Hamas .Its very hard to see any lasting peace with Israel but we have to try and achieve it somehow .Israel is never going to be bombed out of existence so some peace has to happen at some stage .

If you were a Hamas fighter would you surrender? Your either going to be shot out of hand as you surrender or face the prospect of life in an Israeli prison camp being sodomised and tortured. Would you believe any offer or assurances the Israeli's give you? I'm not saying they shouldn't surrender but at this stage what have they got to lose, Gaza is practically destroyed and Israel is increasing it pariah status globally by the day with it's cruelty.

My answer is proberly no to your questions but Israel still commands a lot of support internationally among the major countries and I doubt that will change .What Hamas did on Oct 7 was absolutely pointless in terms of a solution in their eyes a n d it was guaranteed that Israel would react very strongly and also use it as an excuse to continue their goal of eliminating the Palestinian people.

The BBC who had the son of a Hamas leader ‘fronting’ a programme???

Steady up there old boy?

How do you know an Israeli is lying……..its lips are moving.
