Israel/Palestine Thread

This ^ If this was any other country a task force would have been despatched months ago.

Zio bots are out in force on social media denying the famine, but I do think these type of headlines are hugely stark for the regime - most right thinking people globally are going to be appalled and not pay much attention to what Israel and assorted far right racists and bigots are saying about the situation.

Listened to this the other day, quite an interesting take on Hamas.

It seems they are at a breaking point, with many inside the group willing to surrender and give up its arms, and become a normal political force. Its 'allies' are also losing patience with them. Most agree that they are a spent force, with little future, and their rule has been a disaster for the Palestinian people.

Let's say famine was declared in Moldova or Albania and it was believed the Moldovan or Albanian governments and military were causing the famine and deliberately starving the population. Would the EU and others just sit back and say 'Nothing to do with us, Guv' and just let the people starve away?

Yugoslavia was bombed by NATO for three months in 1999 for killing minorities within its borders and for carrying out ethnic cleansing.

There is a famine going on in Sudan right now, in fact more people have died there than Gaza, but you dont really hear all that much about it. Should the West intervene there too?

Do you want Irish troops intervening and put in harm's way?

And who led the bombing? Hint, it was not the Brits, Germans or French… it was William Jefferson Clinton who drove it.

You're way behind the times. Hamas have been a busted flush for over a year now and well and truly out of the picture for a long time. Discussed at length here.

They should release the hostages so, and give up their arms. Simple.

There can be peace then.

You're still going with "But Hamas" after all this time.

When HAMAS launched the attacks do you think they factored this in as a likely outcome? They must have been convinced the combination of Hezbollah and Iran would have helped them out more.

Israel and the Americans would see it as an invasion, but please do tell how we 'intervene' directly without crossing the national boundaries of Israel or Egypt. Are you saying that the Egyptians will be happy to allow an EU army of sorts use its national territory as a launching pad into Gaza?

Also, why are Europeans getting involved? Why won't the Arab states do this invasion, sorry, 'intervening'?

Lastly, do you want the Irish army to be part of this group?

A 'peaceful' one, apparently, that Israel will allow, apparently…. with no cost to life or limb.

They just dont want to talk about the famine. They just argue the points that they think are worthwhile. And famine is not something that even they can defend, so everything is a bit Hamas.
