Israel/Palestine Thread

Exactly. So a good deal for HAMAS in terms of the hostage/prisoner exchange.

Yes but why does Israel take hostages, I thought they were totally against taking hostages?

So idiots who tried to attack the Israeli's got killed. The vast majority of that flotilla was unharmed.

As long as Greta didn't pull a knife there was fùck all danger.

Ah yes I forgot people like their Israeli's defenceless. Like the Manchester attack was an ideal scenario.

What an odd way took at things .

Is armed resistance to occupation / dispossession /apartheid wrong, in your opinion ?

Is genocide justified to end resistance? (Well we all know what you think about that).

Literally defending genocide, and lying to paint the people opposed to it as being the same as yourself.

Just to reiterate - genocide has been confirmed by the UN, Amnesty, Medicine sans Frontiers, Actions Aid, Human Rights Watch, B'Tselem, Physician's for Human Rights, Oxfam, Medicine du Monde, Save the Children, Norwegian Refugee Council, International association of Genocide Scholars (over 500 members), International Federation for Human Rights, and on and on. The IPC, UNICEF, the WHO have declared famine in Gaza. Netenyahu and Gallant are wanted for war crimes.

This is a mix of legal bodies, legal experts, aid organizations with boots on the ground , academics - many of them Jewish - and humanitarian organizations, inside Israel and out. International doctors who go there are shouting about this to us all, including Irish ones. These aren't all Hamas. They aren't all engaging in a conspiracy.

If you are going to continue slandering people for listening to pretty much all experts with experience and understanding of these conditions, and being appropriately appalled by it, you need to tell us why they would all be making this up? How can you ignore it?

So do you accept Israel has murdered at least 65,000 Palestinians, is committing genocide and ethnic cleansing, is starving people to death, and intends to invade neighbouring countries? Why aren't you prepared to say what you believe instead of hiding behind your make-believe imaginations?

Israel has committed genocide. There is no walking away from that because they may be offering to slow down the genocide. Their leaders need to be tried in The Hague. Could Hitler have said let's all stop just as the allies reached Berlin?

One can only imagine that the Israelis are absolutely livid that Trump posted the Hamas statement on his Truth Social feed (and JD Vance posted it too). They have definitely had the rug pulled from under them here - Trump negotiating with Hamas in public and not giving a toss about how Israel feels about it.

It might seem that way, but make no mistake, Israel are the ones in charge here!!!! Trump’s just a loose canon nut job. Israel will drive this. Huge influence in the U.S.
