Israel/Palestine Thread

Also what about the surveillance flights? Do you remember when David Lammy stood up in Parliament and mentioned Britain was suspending trade agreement talks with Israel , well within days the talk were back on. Uk defense officials and their Israeli counterparts are continuing to meet in whitehall. The public condemnation is all choregraphed… the Israeli go through the motions of outrage but likely have been given assurances its business as usual behind the scenes

I could be wrong though, Sir Kier any moment now may condemn the strike on Qatar by calling it a blatant act of aggression by Israel. Oh look…a flying pig!

Fear Starmer is a bit busy at the moment looking for a barrister, due to being charged with crimes against humanity at the ICC :)

They only do this because the US has its back.

This is humiliating for the US but they’ll try and pretend it isn’t. By bombing the territory of a country that was key to negotiations and a US ally Netanyahu has signalled he doesn’t want peace.

These days the US and Israel are becoming isolated from friendly nations. Neither can be trusted. Good news for Xi and Putin.

The people targeted in the territory of an American ally were discussing the American peace proposal. You can’t get much more blatant than that.

A member of the Qatari security forces was murdered. Qatar lets America rule the roost over its airspace, America let 15 Israeli jets take part in a bombing of Qatar. Sends to the message open your country to America at your own peril. America’s standing as a dependable ally is in the s hitter.

Oh yeah definitely, any living hostages are completely screwed now

I doubt there are many of them though

You're incredibly naive if you think the US didn't sanction this. Trump has no more interest in peace than Netenyahu does

So do you genuinely not know that the NYT warned in advance of the ethical problems of using a child with congenital disease in a piece about alleged malnutrition in Gaza - and they went ahead and did it anyway?

And then had to admit that Mohammed al-Mutawaaq had a muscular wasting disease - and a healthy weight mother and siblings. Did she just pick one child to let starve?

And here's the thing - many of those supposedly starving children used to get FREE medical care IN ISRAEL, right up until October 2023.

Kind of a coincidence that they were no longer able to go to Israel after that? Not Hamas' fault at all, according to you.

But you know, if EVERY time the media focuses on a child in Gaza, it turns out that that child has a serious underlying illness, do you know what the odds are?

At some point you have to accept that you're being played by Hamas.

Unless of course you're complicit in the "playing".

And there were no comparable cases of starving children in the Jewish ghettoes with fat parents. Didn't happen. Because that's what starving means.

So in response to an attack that targeted Israeli civilians, including babies and children, and an ongoing hostage situation where the captives have STILL not been allowed to see the so-called humanitarian organisations such as the Red Cross, but have been filmed literally being forced to dig their own graves, you think that Israel should not only not attack the zone where the attacks were launched from, but is not even justified in attacking the men who ordered that attack?

So what do you think Israel would have been entitled to do in response to Oct 7? Apologise for existing? Wait for the next attack, as promised at the time by Hamas?

Trump condemns Israel’s bombing of Qatar

However there were reports Israel claimed to have informed the US before hand.
