Israel/Palestine Thread

Oh sorry, they were just murdering a mere 14,348 per day on average at the worst of the holocaust. So would have matched the entire Gazan death toll in less than a week at that rate. 100 per cent of those murdered in the holocaust would have been by definition non-combatants.

At least some of the Gazan dead would have been active members of Hamas so legitimate targets under any legal scenario.

I stand by my point than comparing Israel to the Nazis is lazy and morally bankrupt thinking that undermines support for the Palestinian cause.

In August, September and October of 1942, he calculated, German forces and their allies in Poland killed at least 1.32 million Jews. That averages out to 14,348 per day, every day. Virtually all victims were from Poland and its immediate neighbors.

FIFA won't be able to leave Israel in a position to qualify if they cannot play European qualifying matches. The idea of a country who was banned by UEFA being in the mix to qualify for a World Cup would be preposterous.

If Netanyahu could wipe out all Palestinians this way in a secretive manner do you think he would?If media,press etc was like it was in 1933?And any Palestinian who's still alive after/if all this ends will also be considered a holocaust survivor……

PR recycled rubbish from him….Losing the PR war now and panicking with his QR code on his jacket-Great to know Israel is fighting our fight though-Zionists like him were always looking out for others plus good to know Israel never attacks Civilians in Gaza…..Move along-Nothing to see here

Netanyahu speech was on rte tv news channel today while I was having my lunch so I heard it all. I am inclined to think that there is two sides to every story, so I was glad to hear his side.

That right doesn't come automatically, many times that right has to be fought and defended. And the fight doesn't have to be fair and equal.

No offense intended here. Your response to that post comes across as bit over the top and unreasonable. I thought the other poster was making a solid point that equating what is happening in Gaza with the Holocaust is hyperbolic and actually undermines the cause.

That is in no way saying that it isn't horrible or defending Israel's actions. It's simply pointing out that they're not at the same level from a numbers point of view. The Nazis industrialised slaughter. The only comparable situations I can think of are Stalin in the USSR, Japan in China, the Cultural Revolution under Mao and PolPot in Cambodia. I don't know enough about them to discuss them in detail but from the numbers I've read in the past, they could be comparable to the Holocaust.

Once again I'm not justifying Israel's actions or trying to diminish what is happening to the Palestinians. I simply think it's important to keep things realistic or you risk pushing away potential supporters.

He even claimed that babies were burned alive in front of their parents on October 7th.
A lie.
Mike Huckabee, US Zionist ambassador to Israel claimed in a recent interview all the usual debunked claims about October 7th, decapitated babies, babies in ovens, mass rapes, babies cut from wombs. He also made up an entirely knew one. People in wheelchairs set on fire!

As I am sure you would be if Vladimir was speaking at the UN since you are so interested in hearing both sides. You probably were keen to hear what Mladic and Slobodan had to say too back in the day.

Are you talking about the Piers Morgan interview? Talk about a softball interview.

A charitable interpretation would be Piers didn't do his research, however the more plausible explanation is that Piers is afraid he will lose access if he challenges members of his friend's administration.

Sounds like the rumours about these evil ***** getting together to complete their plan was not far from the truth after all.
