Israel/Palestine Thread

The ICJ directed Israel to do that - it is a legal duty.

But Israel doesn't care for international law.

that's why it's a world pariah.

This is a surprise.

Seems the Hamas attack on Oct 7th went ahead because a communications system to pre warn Israel of an imminent attack was undergoing "an upgrade".

The "upgrade" lost nearly four hours of prewarning before the Hamas attack commenced.

I'd imagine the families and loved ones of those slaughtered by Hamas would be apoplectic with that news. As will the families of those slaughtered by Israel under the Hannibal Directive.

A four hour prewarning would have been plenty of time to mobilise and prevent all the bloodshed over the last 731 days…

I'd imagine Smotrich and Ben-Gvir are delighted there was a delay.

• A police inquiry recently obtained by Haaretz found that the Shin Bet warned of suspicious activity in Gaza at 3:03 A.M. on October 7, 2023, but the police only received the message at 7:03 A.M. about 30 minutes after the Hamas attack had already begun. Senior police officers said the delay was due to a systems upgrade.

They weren't the only ones -

seems the Pope is rightly pissed off:

• The Vatican's top diplomat sharply criticized Israel's "ongoing massacre" in Gaza, one of the Catholic Church's strongest condemnations of Israel in the war to date.

I did - not sure you'll agree but give it a read and see what you think.

Also, the video of the Thunberg presser is a very good outline of precisely what it was trying to achieve.

I'd imagine the Israelis making her kiss the Israeli flag was indicative of how pissed off they are and how dangerous she is to their warmongering cause.

perhaps read the numerous supportive reports about the flotilla? Plenty of column inches out there.

And if you think the world doesn't see how bad this makes Israel look then you're either misinformed or uninformed.

That people need to be "repatriated" after their govts. intervened filling Israel's illegal seizure of those people is enough for anyone to be crossing Israel off next year's holiday list.

"Why do you think a multinational flotilla proves that Europeans are privileged."

Europeans such as Greta are released within a week, given diplomatic access while in captivity and then when they arrive back immediately start attacking their own governments as shown in the video.

This what European freedom is, in global terms it's privilege.
