    I watched the news there today. Dreadful images. The Israeli Military have pretty much reduced Gaza to rubble. To me, that's about the most sickening thing I have seen in a while. Wanton, ruthless destruction. No, I don't care what the justification was, the act itself was evil. Simple as.

    Considering the amount if destruction, the density if the population. I would have thought there would have been more casualties.

    Consider the Syrian civil war. Over 150,000 casualties in three years. A third civilians.

    Egypt? Would Egypt not take the refugees in?

    The border is closed

    This is shooting fish in a barrel, there are no refugees because they are trapped in a tiny area

    No

    And they would still have to get passed the Israeli soldiers to get through the border. It took Jon Snow of the BBC 4 hours to leave Gaza with all the checks. In that time he saw one Palestinian family being allowed through so on average 6 families a day if the border is open 24.

    Did you even bother to read that article? (Rhetorical question) You should - it's very interesting. The Gazan economy was saved from total economic collapse via tunnels delivering goods from Egypt.

    Terror donkeys, terror sheep, terror chickens, terror animal vaccines, terror beef, terror lamb, terror vegetables, terror cement, terror toys, terror tobacco.. all sorts of terrorist goods were brought through the terror tunnels to help terrorist businesses provide terror goods to terrorist shoppers.

    The word 'terror' is now officially meaningless thanks to people like you who regurgitate propaganda.

    Archie is the same poster who recently insisted the IDF only targeted single buildings and no way would they dare level streets/blocks.

    Both sides in this conflict are awful and all, but one thing is for sure, Israel are really good at war.


    Bit like tying an 85 year old woman to a chair, beating the head off her, and declaring yourself 'really good at boxing' tbh.

    Ha Ha Ha! good one!

    I went through your posting history. I got bored after six pages of pro-Israeli comments. I'm guessing you're relaying the shill that was in here the other day. Then another will relay you. And so on. I hope the pays good, it must get dull.

    Yes indeed, that really justifies the murders. It could have been worse :rolleyes:

    Shill speak -"Israel is acting with maximum restraint and only targeting legitimate structures" - Translation -"Turn off the bloody cameras and we'll show the fcukers how to really level a town".

    This isn't a "battle", this is a machine in first gear, grinding. And wishing they could quietly shift into second gear and crush and kill everyone in their path. But first, they need to ensure the propaganda war is won, or seen to be won.

    Just had a look there myself. Jaysus.. how blatant can you get like. It's a wonder he hasn't been banned for shilling yet.

    Literally every one of his posts are about Israel and how awesome they are and can do no wrong.

    If it was your family, you'd be screaming murder. I'd say you're 12 and have one eye on the play-station while spouting nonsense. At least i hope you are.

    Had you stuck it out for a further 10 pages going back to 4 years ago you wouldn't have seen anything different either.

    I'm not one for conspiracies but whether getting paid or not its clear that guy has only one reason for being on boards. To defend Israel on every thread he comes across.

    Exactly? So egypt closing the border proves.........?

    The destruction people, have you looked at any of the pictures coming out of Gaza?

    Social media management is an important function theses days. How do people think that is achieved? Someone has to do the slog of actually joining threads and posting. The good ones are subtle and effective. Others are a bit crap and obvious, but it's hard to get the staff these days, sure you know yourself.

    On any major issue, there are legions of people posting away with a crib sheet, a weeks classroom training and a pay cheque. The Internet is the new frontier of social manipulation. That's a simple fact. Some other poor sod has the task of reading and collating a report on "perceived public opinion" - can you imagine how dull that would get.

    it is beyond defense.....how can anyone defend that as right:mad::mad:???

    if the bombings are specifically targeting children and hospitals Where there is no terrorist activity you are correct. Israel does not target civilians they only target terror activity and locations but there is always collateral damage in war.
    Israel does not fire on hospitals, unless they are used for terrorist activities, and even then it supplies many warnings in advance. I am yet to see a terrorist notifying his potential victims in advance that an attack is coming.

    Another thing: everyone in Israel seems to know that the Hamas leadership is hiding under the biggest hospital in Gaza, but the Israelis haven't attacked it.
    If they are so gung ho on killing Palestinians, how come they don't just bomb that one hospital where the Hamas leadership is hiding and finish this was in a day?




    Seeing as the number of Palestinians only grows rapidly from year to year, I have to deduct that the Israelis are just really really bad at genocide.
    Do you believe the people who shot down the Malaysian Airlines plane last week deliberately and specifically set out to shoot down a civilian aircraft and kill all on board?

    Do you believe the same people are guilty of terrorism and murder? Do you believe Western politicians were right to condemn it as an act of terrorism and murder?

    Do you believe the Omagh bombers deliberately and specifically set out to kill 29 people on the morning of August 15th, 1998?

    Do you believe they are guilty of murder?

    Israel have admitted to paying people all over the world to spread their propaganda - obv an example here.

    Yes I've seen the picture. The utter destruction. I feel very sorry for the children. Very sorry. I feel very sorry for the people that want to leave.

    But I put the blame squarely on Hamas and the people that voted them in.

    It must be very painful trying to defend Israeli behaviour while seeing the constant murders of innocent men, women and children. Very difficult for you i'd say.

    Squarely and only?

    Is there any room to suggest that 1000 dead could possibly be a bit much?

    Anything?

    if ever people needed hamas...its now....they need someone to stand up for them
    it is beyond reasonable the response of iseral....levelling hundreds of places in gaza....I wouldn't blame them for supporting attacks on iseral....did you see the state they are after leaving gaza.....beyond defense....to blame people for voting hamas....for iserals response???

    I just hope in Karma and those responsible for atrocities feel the same effect as they have perpetrated on others


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,664 ✭✭✭sid waddell


    If Israel hates Hamas so much, why did it fund it?

    You would only say that when Israel is the perpetrator. You would scream murder if it was anyone against Israel. In other words, you justify killing civilians

    This is pretty much what this thread is descending to.
    and you have made some generalisations in this thread yourself, so pot kettle black

    I'm very highly educated. I know words, i have the best words, nobody has better words then me.
