    Anyone remember all those posts stating that releasing the hostages would end the Genocide? I do.

    Since the start of the ceasefire, those killed total 290 Palestinians and 3 Israelis.

    Imagine for a second the uproar there would be if a candidate for the US House of Representatives posted this message except aiming her ire at the Jewish community rather than the Islam one.

    It would be the headline story everywhere from the Oval office to the 24 Hrs news channels immediately and the ADL would use it to set their narrative for the next 5 years. Oh and the Tommy she is referring to in her Tweet which is a reply to another one, is the infamous Tommy Robinson.

    When Israel agrees a ceasefire, they keep murdering Palestinians and Lebanese and Syrians because the zionists are psychopaths.

    At least 25 Palestinians were killed and 77 others injured in Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, the Health Ministry said, marking a new violation of a fragile ceasefire deal in place since last month, Anadolu reports.

    A ministry statement said that some of the injured civilians are in critical condition.

    The Israeli army launched a series of strikes in several areas in Gaza on Wednesday evening. The military claimed that the attacks were in response to gunfire targeting its force in Rafah in southern Gaza.

    Crazy.

    As for banning halal, what is she on about?

    Halal means "allowed" right? So she'll ban anything Muslims are allowed to eat / drink. Will she ban people drinking water?

    I'd bet shed still get a vote from some of the headbangers on here anyway.

    UNWRA mandate on Palestine renewed at UN. 10 countries voted against (Argentina, Fiji, Hungary, Israel, North Macedonia, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, Tonga, and United States), Five EU countries abstained including that beacon of humanitarianism Germany).

    The BBC wesite demonstrates a perfect example of how they frame the news headlines

    'Children among 26 killed in one of Russia's deadliest strikes on western Ukraine'

    'Children among 26 killed in one of Israel's deadliest strikes on western Gaza'

    'Russian strikes across Ukraine kill 25 Ukrainians, health ministry says'

    I was a way for a while and only caught up with this thread… I cannot believe some of you are still interacting with the obvious Israeli shills on here - they are in the grey area for me and only see when quoted

    I will make Texas the worst place for Jews.

    We will ban Kosher, Yarmulkes & we will begin

    tearing down every synagogue one by one.

    Those inbred child sacrificers are not here to

    assimilate, they're here to kill us.

    Grateful for your faith in me Tommy ❤️ God

    bless you.

    It is up to those 13 countries on the UN security council, the PA and 8 Arab states who supported the agreement reached the other night to make sure it is implemented and enforced.

    No doubt some strong words of condemnation and threats of sanctions coming towards Israel soon.

    EU assisting the Israeli genocide and ethnic cleansing.

    In remarks to reporters Tuesday at the European Parliament in Brussels, Francesca Albanese said the EU and its members failed to fulfill their international obligations on Gaza and Palestine.

    “It is a very grave situation that, particularly due to the objections of Germany and Italy, the suspension of the trade agreement (with Israel) has still not gone forward,’ she said.

    Citing continued relations between the EU and Israel, including sending weapons as well as Israel’s association with the bloc’s Horizon Europe research program, Albanese said the issue is not that the EU is not doing enough, rather it is that the EU, through its member states and policies, is aiding the destruction of Palestine.

    “In my view, the situation is so dire that it is beyond comment,” she said.

    Asked about her comments regarding a two-state solution, she said there is no point in any political debate about two states unless the dire situation of the Palestinian people is addressed.

    “There is an ethnic cleansing in the West Bank that is almost unprecedented in the last 80 years, and with extraordinary violence,” she said.

    There may be some reasons behind that, here's two:

    Shucks, we will just have to ignore international law …

    Ralph Wilde, a leading international law academic and practitioner, told MEE that the resolution attempts to codify "trusteeship" over Gaza, a colonial arrangement that breaches the Palestinians' right to self-determination

    "Trusteeship conducted by individual states in the colonial era was a self-serving sham invoked in bad faith, serving as an alibi to rationalise colonial rule, which could be justified as a 'civilising mission'," Wilde said, speaking from Ramallah in the occupied Palestinian territories.

    "But the consequence of colonial liberation struggles after World War Two was the adoption in international law of the right of self-determination. This was a repudiation of trusteeship."

    More land theft as ethnic cleansing continues at full speed

    "Israel" plans to seize 1,800 dunams in Sebastia, threatening Palestinian olive groves and livelihoods under the guise of archaeological development.

    did the Hamas health ministry say if children were killed?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,384 ✭✭✭Spudmonkey


    It's funny how all the **** in the world are somehow aligning on this issue isn't it. I mean look at the above UNRWA mandate on refugees.

    Exceptionalism, Supremacy, Racism all in full view. We don't really have to trawl anymore.

    It was Angela Merkel, I think, who said "We'll know what we really learned from WW2 when all who experienced it are gone".

    I think about that a lot. The premise of "Never Again" has shown to have had strong terms and conditions attached. Never Again, (to Jews) is the understanding that all too many powerful people have of that phrase.

    A former speech writer for Obama spoke at an international forum this week and basically said that the education of the holocaust in terms of it being bad that powerful people targeted weak people is now proving to be harmful because people look at Israel's actions against the Palestinians and deem it to be similarly abhorrent. And that for her is an issue, she feels it undermines the suffering the Jews experienced and leads people to judge them incorrectly.

    All muslims are potential jihadis to some folk so no harm wiping out as many as possible just in case

    Many posters told us the IDF murder spree would end when the hostages were returned. How wrong those posters were. They were wrong a lot actually. You don't see their snide little posts much anymore.

    What are they doing in the Hyacinth house?

    Land grabbing in the West Bank again -

    "Israel to Expropriate Hundreds of Acres of Palestinian Land for Sebastia Archaeological Site

    The expropriation order is the largest ever issued for an archeological project since Israel occupied the West Bank in 1967 and is sure to affect the residents of nearby Palestinian villages. Thousands of Palestinian-owned olive trees could be uprooted

    The Israeli Civil Administration plans to expropriate 1,800 dunams (nearly 450 acres) of privately owned land in the northern West Bank for the development of the archaeological site of Sebastia.

    The expropriation order, published last week, encompasses the archaeological site as well as a large swath of olive groves with thousands of Palestinian-owned trees."

    You may want to reconsider the side you support, before it kills you, although I'm sure you will find a way to blame Israel for this too:

    So is Hamas staging terrorist attacks across Europe?



  • Site Banned Posts: 2,225 ✭✭✭TonyMaloney


    if you look closely at the photos, it seems they've discovered 2 hand guns a little ammo, some bags, some WD-40 and a hat and some gloves.
    This "full terror infrastructure" they're allegedly building across Europe is obviously a very real threat to us all.

    Little tip for you - Mossad are the biggest bunch of lying bastards known to humanity. Never, ever use them as a source if you yourself want to appear credible.

    Then again I'm not sure if you're aiming for credibility given how racist your views are



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 24,613 ✭✭✭✭Tell me how


    You know the way defenders of Israel's genocide repeatedly discounted death toll figures because they came from a Hamas Health Agency?

    That's how I feel about a tweet from an Israeli activist claiming Mossad have uncovered something.

    Particularly when it ends with the following sentence.

    Europe has become their playground for planning and developing attacks while pretending this is only a Middle East problem. It is not.

    We've seen the Hasbara strategy over the last few years. Forgive me if I don't buy it as being completely original.

    God forbid anyone got a spray of that WD40 in the face, or were strangled by that pair of leather gloves.

    I much rather chance my arm against that than a Merkava Battle Tank, a squadron of F35s or an IDF sniper.

    Can't believe you posted that actually - it's laughable.
