Israel/Palestine Thread

A few years ago, no one would have expected Israel and its politicians to be defending themselves in the ICC and ICJ so substantial progress has been made. There are countries that would arrest the war criminals which again is great progress. Almost all yellow western democracies would be too scared to arrest him, not because they don't believe him to be a war criminal, but because of the certainty of US economic and political terrorism being waged against them.

We are living in a very black and white period. Germany and Japan are back in military mode with their ultra-nationalist mentalities. The US could be very different in the future if a humanitarian was elected President.

No state has ever been convicted of genocide by the ICJ. I see the way it will be spun by Pro Israelis if Israel is the first.

And the EU says sod all about it. Some pro Israeli posters here are vocal in their opposition to the illegal occupation and expansionism by the Russians in Ukraine, but yet have little to say about Israel doing the same thing

A report of US and Israeli barbarism from Al Jazeera

At dawn on August 10, 2024, Yasmin Mahani walked through the smoking ruins of al-Tabin school in Gaza City, searching for her son, Saad. She found her husband screaming, but of Saad, there was no trace.

According to the Al Jazeera Arabic investigation, The Rest of the Story, Civil Defence teams in Gaza have documented 2,842 Palestinians who have “evaporated” since the war began in October 2023, leaving behind no remains other than blood spray or small fragments of flesh.

Experts and witnesses attributed this phenomenon to Israel’s systematic use of internationally prohibited thermal and thermobaric weapons, often referred to as vacuum or aerosol bombs, capable of generating temperatures exceeding 3,500 degrees Celsius [6,332 degrees Fahrenheit].

Jared may need new speech writers after his unfortunate use of the word master as it evokes memories of the Holocaust and the Master Race.

“We have a master plan … There is no Plan B,” remarked Jared Kushner last month, during a Board of Peace (BoP) presentation about Gaza reconstruction at the World Economic Forum (WEF) at Davos.

I will look into this.

Online flight trackers show that Benjamin Netanyahu flew hundreds of kilometres through Canadian airspace on his way to meet Trump on Tuesday. Carney was asked last October if "Netanyahu would be arrested if he came to Canada." The prime minister twice responded "yes."

When the Israeli PM travelled to the U.S. on Sept 25 2025, it took a number of detours as it crossed the Mediterranean in order to stay mostly over water, and entered the Atlantic through the Strait of Gibraltar.

Jewish activists have challenged claims featured in a documentary that the British protest group Palestine Action targeted "Jewish-owned businesses", saying that these organisations were selected due to their complicity in Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

Well done FAI, that’s the way handle stuff like this.

They put forward a motion to have Israel suspended in November. This indicates they want them banned and have good reason for feeling this way.

All this does is show that they’re spineless and not willing to commit to their beliefs.

They are right though. A country simply cannot refuse to fulfill a fixture under the UEFA or FIFA umbrella, not without being expelled from the competition.
