Israel/Palestine Thread

Those who continue to deny the crimes against humanity committed by Israel and more particularly those who attend viewing parties to watch the carnage going on in Gaza are the ones clearly wishing death on people. Most critics of Israel do not wish death on Jews - many of then are in fact jewish

As per usual you like to imply Jews have a hive mind and you confinue to conflate criticism of Israel as a mask for anti semitism in order to deflect criticism of Israel. It's pathetic you are still at this, but it shows your desperation

We see the usual double standards by you of avoiding holding Israel responsible for creating some of the problems in the middle east. It's certainly true Iran is no innocent.

However Israel clearly isn't either, as much as you continue to try and claim otherwise.

"Nobody wants war" except for Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, Yemen etc.

And as for Iran supposedly having "wanted peace" … the kind of "peace" Iran wants is where they get to fund, train and direct proxy forces to attack Israel etc, but the Ayatollahs suffer no consequences because their enemies don't go to the source of the problem.

Which everyone was happy enough to do until Iran decided to enrich uranium to levels far beyond any possible civilian use.

Let's not forget that Iran is one of the main weapons suppliers to Russia in its war against the people of Ukraine.

And why on Earth would Arab countries start a war with Israel when Israel has no quarrel with most of countries in the region? On what planet would that make sense? Perhaps it's just wishful thinking on the parts of people who want to see Jews being killed?

Nice to see that, as usual, the Middle East's problems are being blamed on the 0.3% of it that's not run by an Islamic dictatorship.

Radiohead announces European concerts. Some Palestine campaigners say the band hasn't criticised Israel enough. Also criticism of them performing with Israeli artist.

Tell me, is colonising someone elses land a peaceful action. Is displacing people and building ethnically pure settlements, with government backing, subsidies and tax breaks, a peaceful action?

Israel is a state which is explicitly religious. Cabinet members have called for the killing or displacement of non jewish people. Israel ignored nuclear treaties, developed a bomb by stealing nuclear material from the west, and refuse to disarm. They're starving 2 million people.

So, please do harp on about Iran. Iran are not good guys. We all know it. The only thing is that you'll refuse to engage on what Israel are doing and love to do whatabouttery about other countries.

So please, for the umpteenth time, could you explain how Israel settling the westbank is a good thing?

It just goes to show how much of a nonsense this release the hostages thing is if israel are holding far more palestinians unlawfully.

No western politicians will mention this though. It's just 100% racism no one cares about arab lives.

I wouldn't say he wants then to be killed,it's more that he is just indifferent to their plight because he sees them as inferior- uncivilised and not like us.

In a previous post he tried to justify support for Smotrich and Ben Gvir on the basis of the suffering Israelis were enduring at the hands of Palestinians. He would never try to make the same justification for Palestinians supporting Hamas. Israelis going through a smidgen of the hardship Palestinians have endured is a tragedy for him,the suffering of Palestinians doesn't register- it can even be belittled or mocked as we saw with his cartoon picture a few months back. Which , if I recall correctly, he never apologised for. I thought graphene was the strongest substance known to humankind, but it transpires the neck of SeanW is even stronger!

IDF soliders have laughed about breaking the bones of Palestnians in interviews and of killing civilians by shooting them several times in the back and then bragging they'd get away with it by claiming self defense. It's nothing new, because ex Stern and Haganah fighters have openly bragged about torturing civilians in documentaries. So it's not a surprise serving IDF members would do the same considering the IDF was created by people involved in these nationalist groups.

Anti-regime Israelis point out that people are brought up to hate Palestinians and Arabs and to regard them as subhuman. It may well be the most racist and bigoted country in the developed world.

Israel will probably try a false flag operation to prevent more countries recognising Palestine. Israel are so obscene that they may even fire a rocket from Gaza at Tel Aviv?

It will be very interesting to see whether some countries actually follow through and recognise Palestine while others like UK, Australia, and France chicken out.

More nukes for Israel! They are a threat to world peace.
