Israel/Palestine Thread

Lol OK.

Simone Biles couldn't compete with the gymnastics that goes on in your head.

I support Ukraine and Gaza because im not a hypocrite. Russia and Israel are the same. It doesn't matter who their allies are. Their actions matter. They each want to see a smaller weaker country destroyed and take their land. But at least the Ukraine have a military and Russia are getting sanctioned. That is the disparity here with Gaza.

If it wasn't for the Ukrainian army and western support, I have no doubt Russia would be doing to Ukraine what Israel is to Gaza

I couldn't tag you so I'll just sorta hijack this to ask was it you that asked me about the difference between Hamas and Doghmush because I found it curious same as you (if it was you that found the two Sunni Islamic groups fighting) and have done more reading up since to try to understand?

I think the Ukraine conflict and the Gaza conflict cross traditional left/right ideologies.
Either one is opposed to invasion and occupation and for the rights of all people or one is not.

I don’t see how on one thread posters can denounce the Russian barbarity of missile attacks on apartment buildings and on the same day in a different thread defend the Israeli missile attacks on apartment buildings.
There seems to be much less hypocrisy on the left, in opposing both occupations, than on the right. Where we see figures like Lindsey Graham welcome the indictment of Putin as an important moment for international justice but claim the same court’s indictment of Netenyahu has no legitimacy etc.

Maybe some are motivated purely by the arms industry lobby.

Everything for the last 75+ years is about ethnic cleansing. The genocide is just for fun. Donald needs to be careful or he could go from hoping for the Nobel peace prize to the Hague!

Donald Trump says he will consider approving Israel to resume military action if Hamas refuses to uphold its end of the ceasefire deal.

Speaking to CNN, the president says Israeli forces could return to the streets of Gaza "as soon as I say the word".

Palestine will stand against the colonisers.

There is common ground among the Nazis and Zionists in genocide.

Ah, the terrorists, Israel, is still nervously beating up old men after binding their hands and legs.

Jailed Palestinian leader Marwan Barghouti sustained rib fractures after being beaten in Israeli prisons, the Prisoners’ Media Office said Wednesday, Anadolu reports.

The Hamas-run office said on Telegram that Barghouti was beaten by Israeli prison guards while being transferred from Ramon Prison in southern Israel to Megiddo Prison in the north in mid-September.

The imprisoned leader lost consciousness and suffered a fracture in four ribs, it added.

Barghouti, 66, a senior leader of President Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah group, is one of the most prominent and popular figures in Palestinian politics.

He has been serving five life sentences in Israeli prisons since 2002 on charges related to the Second Intifada, which began in 2000.

Jews are not colonising Israel, they are just reclaiming their ancestral land.

Arabs, on the other hand, they were a colonizing nation. Read a map.

As I said before, 1.5 million years of human habitation in the Levant. Why do you argue that the couple of thousand years of Jewish rule in the area (if there ever was that, the place was always multicultural), is the natural order, and discount all the other people's and histories that resides in that place? Do you believe God gave it to them?

Far more likely you have an irrational hatred of the people who actually live and have lived there (who are mostly Muslim now) and will jump on board with any old bollox to support somebody sticking it to them.

I doubt you would dream of applying that logic anywhere else in the world as you know you would sound like a lunatic. Imagine we all became Atheist in the next 20 years (that's where it's going), and hoards of Irish American Catholics who never lived here came over in the millions to butcher us and reclaim Ireland for the church. You'd give em your house right?

Also when you say Israel are "reclaiming their ancestral land", you are tacitly admitting this whole war is about taking the land of the Gazans, which is ethnic cleansing. Good man/woman yourself.

It is south of Lebanon and north of Egypt on the eastern Mediterranean.

Most moral army in the world.
