Israel/Palestine Thread

Why did you post a photo of the twin towers earlier in the thread?

I posted a while back that just when you thought Israel could go no lower, they pull it out the bag once again. And as usual, it's Ben-Gvir leading the charge to the 9th circle of Hell.

Haaretz:

Far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir arrived at the Knesset's National Security Committee hearing on his party's proposed death penalty bill for terrorists wearing a gold noose-shaped pin, also worn by other members of his Otzma Yehudit party.

Ben-Gvir said that the noose represents "one of the options" for the death penalty, adding that other potential methods could include the gallows, the electric chair, or lethal injection.

The proposed law would only be applied to Palestinians from the West Bank.

Did Herzog really say the quiet part out loud? I thought circa 20% of Israelis were non Jewish. But that also of course highlights precisely how non-democratic Israel is - no apartheid state would be considered at such.

Haaretz:

Israeli President Isaac Herzog said that the election of Zohran Mamdani as New York mayor is a "red flag" while receiving an honorary doctorate from Yeshiva University Sunday night.

"Here, we see the rise of the new mayor-elect, who makes no effort to conceal his contempt for the Jewish, democratic state of Israel," he said.

This is a long read but outlines the key issues and controversies. Published by the Knesset:

Seems Israeli police are reading from the same hymn sheet as the IDF.

Haaretz
A girl and a man who were shot without cause by police in separate East Jerusalem incidents have been recognized as victims of hostile acts and will receive National Insurance allowances.

The cases involved a 13-year-old girl shot while playing on her rooftop in Isawiyah and a man in his 50s struck in the head by a rubber bullet in 2022; the police long denied its officers were responsible in both incidents.

Can you elucidate?

Where/when was video taken; are you suggesting the "armed mysterious figures" are terrorists, Hamas, local militia, local criminals or something else? Which "journalists are you referring to - the person behind the camera?

I think you're reading a lot into a random internet video. That you equate it somehow to the justified killing of journalists is bizarre (assuming that's your point by virtue of you putting "innocent" and "journalists" in quotes).

How do you know who they are or when this was taken ? It could well have been those IDF members dressed as Palestinians who murdered the patients in the hospital. It could have been taken anytime and anywhere.

Until/unless you answer the questions, you're just posting a very questionable random internet video that could have been taken anywhere, anytime and you're only using it support your narrative. Which it can't do unless you provide more information in its credibility.

Executed the terrorists

Committed a War Crime

I thought I saw Bin Laden coming out of a tent. Could be wrong of course.
