Israel/Palestine Thread

Aggression wasn't a one way street like you and a handful of others wish to portray it.

I have no interest in your bullshit Sean. I don't consider you honest or worth any of my time.

And if you don't understand that Israeli's don't have to be inside Gaza to oppress the people there, it's because you don't want to.

Everyone here knows exactly what your game is.

Gaza was open air concentration camp that was completely controlled by the Israelis. Nobody could move in or out of it without Israeli interference. The entire region of Palestine, including Gaza, has been under the Israeli jackboot for decades.

Anyone who doesn't understand that has no business even commenting on the subject.

Anyone who does understand that and still wants to portray events pretending that Israel is some sort of innocent party is a liar.

International law states that regions or countries who are being brutally oppressed have the right to armed resistance. A considerable number of European countries achieved independence from their larger neighbours this way.

What about their desire to be independent and autonomous? You've said yourself there are no Israelis or Jewish people in Gaza. What on earth is a country doing controlling a region where none of its own people or citizens live or want to live?

1. Who said anything about Hiroshima? Nobody is suggesting that Israel should nuke the disputed territories 🤔

Insert Hiroshima, Operation Meeting House, Dresden yada yada yada, to that point. We have had them all on here. These were some of the most brutal events in mankind time on this earth, and you are using them as historical historical company for Gaza, and expecting it to look like nothing untoward is going on?

These acts, if committed today, would all be massively illegal and unethical, but even still they were different because they were taken during wartime (actual wartime), and were not attempts to erase people from living in their country.

2. Do you believe that Hamas were not everywhere in the Gaza strip? Most likely still are?

Of course they weren't "everywhere". Explain what you mean? Do you think Israel bombing of every home/ farm/ school/ apartment building and hospital was justified and "Hamas" were in them? That is insane. This is the destruction of all thing civilians need to survive, under the guise of fighting terrorism. You can't argue it isn't, when Israel were starving every man woman and child in the enclave which most definitely weren't all Hamas.

And even if it were true - do you agree with bombing a hospital and the civilians inside because a militant may be in there?

Let's say, hypothetically speaking, there was a Hamas militant in a hospital in Tel Aviv, and the doctors weren't giving him up. Would you be ok with the IDF bombing that hospital and killing all the Israeli doctors /nurses / patients / visitors etc, to get that militant? Civilians are civilians after all.... If the answer is no, you are a hypocrit, and if it yes, then ... Well... I dunno what to say to you.

If it was genocide there would not be more Gazans alive now than before Oct 7th.

More than 50,000 of the murdered were children. Women make up most of the rest. Hamas was only a small fighting force.

“Since the end of the ceasefire on 18 March, 1,309 children have reportedly been killed and 3,738 injured. In total, more than 50,000 children have reportedly been killed or injured since October 2023. How many more dead girls and boys will it take? What level of horror must be livestreamed before the international community fully steps up, uses its influence, and takes bold, decisive action to force the end of this ruthless killing of children?

Sometimes I think that there is a particular playbook that they all work from.

And it's one that's full of lies and deceit.

Is that saying Israel allowed more money from Qatar after HAMAS threatened violence?

85 years of ethnic cleansing

Senior Israeli officials on Monday publicly advocated for a permanent occupation of the Gaza Strip, defying a US-backed plan that explicitly rules out Israel’s military presence or annexation of the territory, Anadolu reports.

The statements were made during a conference held at the Israeli Knesset titled “Gaza – The Day After,” Israel’s right-wing Channel 7 reported.

Justice Minister Yariv Levin said Israel must maintain control over Gaza as part of what he described as its broader territorial claims.

Merz has turned into a mix between a puppet and a ventriloquist's doll. He would jump if Israel told him to jump. Over 100,000 murdered in Gaza and he spouts on about Israel's right to defend itself by exterminating Palestinians. What Iranians need are for the sanctions to be lifted so that the economy can improve, instead more sanctions are being imposed and discussed!

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said Tuesday that Iran’s regime was living out its last days, as pressure grew on the Islamic Republic over crackdowns on protests that have reportedly killed hundreds of people.

“When a regime can only hold on to power through violence, then it is effectively finished,” Merz told reporters in Bengaluru during a visit to India.

Lapdogs make a decision.

The European Parliament has formally banned all Iranian diplomatic staff, government officials, and representatives from entering all of its buildings, Parliament President Roberta Metsola announced on 12 January.
