Israel/Palestine Thread

Well when you say Israel are only bombing the people who caused October 7th, you are incorrect - they are bombing far more than that (mostly women and children).

I thought it was one of those comments like "none are innocent in Gaza" that some headbangers use to justify kids being sniped and starved.

But tbh It is very difficult for you to argue that Israel are trying not to bomb and kill civilians, only combatants, when the other side of their tactic is to starve them all, civilians and combatants alike.

Unless you are arguing Hamas are holding their hands on top of everyone's mouths to stop them eating aswell, your original argument doesn't make sense. Why would Israel try not to kill Gazans via bombs, when trying to via starvation?

He is only doing it for the Nobel Prize. It is great news nonetheless if it leads to peace. Hopefully though Israel will be held to account for their war crimes in the future. Such as murder of the five year old girl in the car . How dare anyone criticise your precious Israel for things like that!

It seems this is just a convenient excuse for him and others to absolve Israel of accountability for committing a litany of war crimes in Gaza. They wouldn't of course blame Israel if another state was killing civilians in Tel Aviv and blamed Israel by saying they effectively used civilians as human shields by having military bases in residental areas and close to a major hospital. This is before we get into them deliberately withholding aid for three months and destroying the bulk of the means to produce food. Palestinians also risked death by trying to catch fish in the sea- I know what excuse will be offered for that one

Absolutely

Now turn over the Israeli cabinet and all those who enabled and facilitated the genocide to the International Criminal Court

I don't think it's been well documented. The US government, for example, said themselves there isn't widespread evidence of this.

Even if we were to believe they got this wrong, which is possible, the accepted number of food and aid trucks needed to enter Gaza are in the 500 a day region (per the UN, to cover the basic nutrition and wellbeing of 2 million people)

Are you saying Israel has been allowing in or around this number of trucks to enter, and Hamas (despite Gaza being bombed daily / infested with drones, military on the ground) are capable of stealing enough of them for the ICP to declare a famine in Gaza? How many are they stealing - 200/300 trucks a day? More? Less?

Where are Hamas storing all this food? How are they keeping it from starving people? What is happening to all the trucks? Why would drivers risk their life everyday driving 500 trucks into Gaza if that many of them are being hijacked? Why haven't we heard of this black hole of disappearing trucks and drivers before? Why are all aid agencies saying Israel are not letting them in to deliver aid?

By Whom? Is it Israeli Radar?

We know Bibi admitted a couple of months ago that his government is funding an isis linked gang, who are stealing aid systematically and bringing it to their warehouses. Sky News recently had another report on this recently. What is it with Bibi thinking he can fund islamists without their being blow back. You would think he has learned his lesson by now,but obviously not.

We should all simply praise a country supported by the US and EU in committing genocide.

You may find that the criticism of Israel decreases in proportion to the number of children it kills. Funny that, it’s almost like there is a connection or something.

.

How does the poster know that it’s not Hamas “stealing food and aid”?

Excellent, all these arguments seem to break down when someone asks a simple question?

I don't know i am only going on what Bibi has said and the UN

So is it your position that Bibi is lying ,Brendan . We know you are rightly suspicious of the Hamas Ministry, but surely not The Israeli Government.

Although this is twice now you have sought to ignore what Israel has said - first it was with the Flotilla, now you are ignoring Bibi's own admission. Perhaps then you trust the view of the UN, who said there was no evidence Hamas was systematically stealing aid?
