Israel/Palestine Thread

that's every protest, non-issue.

you will always lose a tiny few along the way, they weren't really with the protesters anyway.

Most Israeli jews are not "slavs". The majority are actually mizrahi/sephardi and originated from the middle east and north Africa. Its pretty easy to find this information.

not to mention that if hamas were involved/had anything to do with this they would admit to it.

Since the assassination of Tsar Alexander in 1881 for which they were unjustly blamed, Russian Jewish refugees had been fleeing westward to escape persecution. After Balfour largely blocked their immigration to Britain with the Aliens Act of 1905, the newly conquered territory of Palestine offered a potential alternative destination for them which he was quick to propose in 1917 without the consent of the Arab majority there.

Best to brainwash them to be genocide lovers at a young age and TikTok is a ready-made market

A previously unreported 2015 email from Oracle CEO Safra Catz, uncovered by Responsible Statecraft, reveals an explicit commitment to shaping US public opinion in favour of Israel. Writing to former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, Catz stressed the importance of reaching young Americans before they arrive at university, where support for Palestine has grown dramatically.

“We have all been horrified by the growth of the BDS movement on college campuses and have concluded that we have to fight this battle before the kids even get to college,” Catz wrote mentioning the Boycott Divestment and Sanctions movement. “We believe that we have to embed the love and respect for Israel in the American culture. That means getting the message to the American people in a way they can consume it.”

The email was obtained via a hack of Barak’s account and has not been denied by Catz, though Oracle sources told Responsible Statecraft that “Safra will be nowhere near the algorithm of TikTok.”

all shouting and roaring pretending they care about a conflict 2500 miles away! Day out looking for social media likes, and causing a public nuisance to ordinary Irish folks trying to go about their business

They probably didn't complain or question whether those protesting the Ukraine war cared either. Is this a bit of projection and a defense mechanism to make themselves feel better for not caring at all?

Confirmed by the police now as well. That’s tragic.
when faced by an armed person with a suspected bomb strapped to them, the Police have a split second to react and it looks like a couple of bullets penetrated the door and shot two people behind it.

Zack Polanski of the Green Party has been brilliantly calling out the pro-genocide creeps in British politics and the media in the wake of the Manchester attack.

If you read the reports, not armed is being used to mean was not in possession of a firearm.

Was it a suicide vest that he was wearing?

The attacker seems to have just lost it and drove at people near the Synagogue. The Synagogue doors appear to have been closed by worshippers so it is not clear to me why the police opened fire without a better assessment of the situation. Who authorised the police to shoot or did they require authorisation from a more senior officer?

Id guess the armed officers have clearance BEFORE they are deployed to use lethal force if they think its needed.

Couldn't send them out in the field to a possible terror attack and expect them to have to radio it in to get the ok to shoot.

Was there a more senior officer at the location with them?

There are multiple knife attacks every day in England and Ireland. There was also the knife attack on Parnell Square East over a year ago. Should the Gardai have fired shots?

Does the Synagogue location mean all options are open?

”excuse me Mr Jihadi, would you mind awfully waiting a sec before pulling that cord, I need to ask my boss if I can shoot you in the head”?

Not sure that’s going to work to be honest.

it may have been. I would imagine the police fired at least four times, twice each so it is possible three bullets missed. The guy went down but tried to get up and was shot again, so it is unlikely all four hit him.

The guy had rammed people with his car, appeared to have an explosive device attached to his body and had clearly demonstrated his intent to gain access to the synagogue to harm more people. Of course the police were correct to shoot him. Can't believe people are even trying to suggest otherwise. Next will there be marches for the poor murdered terrorist?
