Israel/Palestine Thread

Yes they were preemptively included😄

The big question is why. Why are western European news outlets/governments so determined to lie on behalf of Israel, or to at least disseminate Israel's lies?

I can't tell you why people on boards.ie do it, so no hope telling you why politicians do

I suspect if is along the lines of in too deep and trying to stay out of prison

Anyone who was around when the campaign was in full swing to ban and boycott apartheid South Africa will know this is only going to end when the western world applies the same standards to Israel as they (latterly) applied to South Africa and are applying to Russia.

Only two countries refused to be accountable for their human rights transgressions.

“We were supposed to meet today in order to proceed with the review of the United States,” said Jurg Lauber, president of the UN Human Rights Council. “Nevertheless, I note that the delegation of the United States is not present in this room.”

The US said in August it would not attend the meeting, joining ally Israel as the only other country to skip the process in which all 193 UN member states undergo scrutiny of their human rights records. Topics such as LGBTQ, immigrant rights, and the death penalty had been on the agenda for discussion at the meeting.

This is the whole problem. Both sides are in denial about their own atrocities while always highlighting those of the other side

Turkey? The hope of the free world!

There is a ceasefire in place. Was that not what the protests were about? At this point it just seems like people are just unhappy about the fact that Israel exists at all.

You guys are truly something else.

Israel commits genocide on its neighbors according to most major human rights NGOs. No sanctions. No accountability, despite the ongoing mass death and devastation. To you, they are all antisemetic, that explains it. Who needs proof or logic eh?

Israel starved civilians by blocking food and aid, manufacturing famine in the 21st century, a crime that horrified everybody (well, except Caedaoin and his/ her buddies for some reason).

It has killed 70,000, probably far more given the devestation. 20,000 of them children, and flattened whole cities - in an anti terror operation. The scale alone should stop the world in its tracks. But not Caedaoin and his/her buddies, doesn't bother them a bit!

In the West Bank, extremist scumbags, emboldened by their state, terrorize, steal, and kill local people to annex more land that isn’t theirs. "Ah ignore that," says Caedaoin. "I know I do!"

As all this horror unfolded, Israel lied, slandered, attacked decency, and utterly destroyed whatever moral superiority the West once claimed. "Big deal," says Caedaoin!

They’ve made the world less safe, not more, by torching the very things they should be defending: international law, human rights, and the rules-based order, which makes the world more dangerous for us all. "So what?," says Caedaoin and co!

People are disgusted not just by Israel’s actions, but by the cowardice of our own governments, who look the other way instead of enforcing justice. "Why does that matter," says Caedaoin.

The famine, the slaughter, the apartheid can’t possibly explain people’s outrage, because none of it bothers Caedaoin a single bit.

Caedaoin, according to you, it’s not the genocide that drives the anger, it’s just that we’re all somehow antisemites or Jihadi supporters who apparently want Israel to “cease to exist.” Proof or common sense to back your argument? Get out of town.

Do you really believe people around the world spontaneously developed hatred and anger toward one country out of nowhere, and have you genuinely not ever considered that it's disgraceful actions, pathetic lies and baseless slander could have caused it?

How is it possible that this very obvious and logical concept has eluded you all this time?

Yes he did along with the rest of his cabinet. It is a fact that zionist lobbies have funded the current Labour party

I wonder does this mean that Israel has had Turkey excluded from the proposed international stabilisation force?
