Israel/Palestine Thread

US again shows its timidity on all things related to israel

Tuesday’s order imposed a travel ban on six new countries – Palestine, Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, South Sudan and Syria – in addition to the 12 initially made public in June.

The decree did not refer to Palestine, which Washington does not recognise as a state, by name or even as the occupied Palestinian territory.

Instead, it describes the Palestine category as “Palestinian Authority Documents” and refers to Palestinians as “individuals attempting to travel on PA-issued or endorsed travel documents”.

I wonder what posts on social media will be grounds for exclusion under this new US visa waiver proposal?

US Customs and Border Protection “is adding social media as a mandatory data element” as part of the screening process for travellers entering the US under the Visa Waiver Program, according to a Department of Homeland Security notice posted on Wednesday. The proposal, which includes those from Ireland, the UK, Australia, Germany, Japan and the UK who can now enter without a visa, was given a 60-day notice with requests for comments.

People from these countries planning to visit the U.S. would be asked to provide five years of their social media history; email addresses used in the past 10 years; telephone numbers used in the past five years; and information about family members, including their addresses and telephone numbers.

The British are believed to have surveillance from that day that captured what happened, but for some reason won't release it . I wonder why

Sure just close down the thread. Google will help us, discussion over.

It's an interesting topic of discussion around the claim Israel fund HAMAS. Did HAMAS know they were walking into a trap or is it more nefarious then that.

The need for justice and civilised nations will not go away.

A European Parliament lawmaker has formally nominated UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories Francesca Albanese, along with doctors working in Gaza, for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize.

The move was publicly announced on Tuesday by Slovenian MEP Matjaz Nemec, following the submission of the nomination to the Norwegian Nobel Committee.

In a statement posted on X, Nemec said the nomination was endorsed by nearly 300 eligible proposers from 33 countries, including Brazil, South Africa, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.

If you scroll back through this thread your earlier reply no longer makes much sense.

"No idea about the use of "civilian infrastructure" but we do know that Israel built many of the "tunnels" and that they funded Hamas."

I'm starting to see why you're reluctant to be my research assistant now because after very little digging it looks like it was Qatar who were funding HAMAS and Israel were just facilitating the transfer of funds.

They didn't actually fund HAMAS like they would a proxy did they? Part of me wanted to believe that because we all know how sneaky the Israelis are but without proof I can't.

Yeah happy HAMAS are getting funding and sowing the seeds of their destruction is very different then Israel giving their own money. What's that favourite Ukrainian saying, never interrupt your enemy when they're making a mistake and we're lucky they're so **** stupid. I'd love to know the average IQ of a HAMAS soldier. Talk about brain dead.

Israeli diplomacy in action: blackmail, bribes, bullets and bombs.

Hamas was this militia group when Israel was funding it. Israel supported Hamas as opposition to the Palestinian Authority.
