    Israel have stated they will not stop until 'the mission is accomplished', and the mission is to find all the tunnels.

    That doesn't seem to be possible though, so this seems more like setting the stage for a long-term or perpetual war, which will either go on for a very long time, or won't stop at all.

    Who will stop this? There is no one on the palestinian side in world affairs that matters. What should they do? What would you do if your family is murdered? Sit back and wait for what whilst genocide is on your doorstop. Every country has a right to defend itself unless it is palestine

    Nobody can do anything about it - The US exercises a veto over the United Nations. There is nothing that can be done, simple. Not even an economic sanction is available.

    This is why Israel can, and is, doing what they are doing... Impunity.

    There'll be a few vocal grumbles thrown around the media tomorrow but nothing will be done.

    Nothing is done because 51% of the US Population and 100% of Congress support Israel. This makes israel unstoppable, even if somebody like Kerry - secretly anti israel I think - wanted to stop it.

    The rest of the "West" can do nothing. Stop lumping us all in with the US.

    It would take a military intervention, to slap some sense into Israel. That means taking on the united snakes.
    It would lead to an all out world war.
    That's just a personal opinion.

    Israel doesnt care, theyve killed 1000+, and they`ve seen the world is too scared to stand up to them, or stop them, shows who really has all the power in world tbh

    They`ll do as much as they want, when Iraq broke 2 UN resolutions, America, UK and Nato, went and bombed them to the stone age in process killing 2mill + civilians, and intentionally causing a civil war to kill even more people

    Israel since its illegal founding has broken 68 UN resolutions, but not a peep from anyone

    Shows the hypocrisy of the world, 1 world police force all buddies who will commit atrocities all over middle east, but its ok, as their lives dont matter

    But if a middle eastern country or any other poorer region steps out of line, like bullies they all jump together to stamp them out

    You can denie it if people want, but more or less thats what the world has become


    NATO did not go to war in Iraq ( not in 2003). It was the coalition of the willing. US stooges.

    Sure. So what you going to do?

    Not sure what Ireland can do.

    Could protest the Israeli embassy . If you have some spare time and don't mind travelling to Dublin .

    That gormless spineless idiot can't even engage in a live debate, never mind think for himself. So his moral and intellectual flaccidity comes as no surprise.

    No western country is going to take serious actions against Israel while it is backed by the US, because that risks political/economic censure by the US, and the US is going to back Israel no matter what they do - think of it like it is the 51st US state.

    Nothing will be done - they will have complete impunity, and you only really need to look at what the US did and got away with in the previous decades wars, to see that there isn't really a limit to what can be done.

    Forgive me for my ignorance, but why are US so supportive of Israel here? how can anybody be supportive of this?

    I think it's really just about geopolitics - for decades the US has viewed Israel as central to its strategy to control the middle east. Keep the natives divided (and no, most of the population of Israel aren't native to the middle east). Of course the Israeli settlers and security establishment have dragged the country rather further into the inferno than the US might have wanted them to, but that doesn't change the fact that Israel is the fulcrum of American middle east policy.

    "The Secretary-General has learned with concern that leaflets are reportedly being dropped by the Israeli Defence Forces in the northern Gaza Strip this evening, warning tens of thousands of residents to leave their homes and evacuate to Gaza City."

    No problem. They can all just head of to their holiday homes for a few days while the IDF destroy whats left of the strip.

    Is anyone else seeing this ad on boards.ie ?
    http://www.secureamericanow.org/stand_with_israel2 . It's flashing messages telling people to petition usa to stop funding Hamas. I saw it earlier, while reading other threads.

    I would suggest ,it's baiting people to sign anti Israel slogans. Don't sign anything.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,625 ✭✭✭AngryHippie


    This situation is fcuked.

    Israel needs to stop, or be stopped.

    UN peacekeepers on the ground, roll back the OT, demilitarize the area.

    Ban Ki Moon is showing serious weakness by not dropping a ton of bricks on the whole situation. immediate sanctions and peacekeepers on planes on the way.

    How do we make that happen ?

    These are civilians being murdered. bottom line, a war crime, documented in full color live across the world.

    Part of the deal to stop the Hesbullah fight in Lebanon was that the UN would send significant troops in to hold ground in Lebanon. And the UN went in with sufficient force to make a point, including main battle tanks and artillery (mainly French) for the ground, and warships (Mainly German) to interdict arms supplies, they are still there.

    I can recall seeing no particular offers of a similar nature being put forward by the Western powers (Or anyone else, for that matter), for Gaza. I'm not sure how well Hamas would like Israeli warships to be replaced on blockade duty by, oh, Italian ones anyway, it achieves little for them except the removal of a cassus belli.
    Ban Ki Moon is showing serious weakness by not dropping a ton of bricks on the whole situation. immediate sanctions and peacekeepers on planes on the way.

    He has no authority to do such a thing. It has to be done through the security council. And then countries have to pony up the personnel to do it, which I don't believe he can order.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 282 ✭✭KahBoom


    There would never be such a deal with Gaza or the West Bank though, because Israel's goal seems to be complete annexation - they don't want any deal.

    The US is going to allow Israel to keep on with this slow process, permanently, and other western powers will keep in tow - just like they always have.

    NATO did not go to war in Iraq ( not in 2003). It was the coalition of the willing. US stooges.

    True but Nato was too busy killing innocents in afghanistan, and I dont know if people realise, but all bloodshed in middle east has mainly started since following:

    1.Breakdown of ottoman empire after world war 1
    2.France, and UK came up with brilliant plot how to keep muslims broken and fighting among one another, by creating all these new countries ie morroco, libya, tunisia, iraq, iran, syria, lebanon, kuwait, etc etc

    3. Under ottomans there were no seperate countries just one big muslim state, which was obviously big threat that had to be dealt with before the creation of Israel in 1948

    4. When Palestine was under muslim rule for hundreds of years, muslims, jews, and christians all lived freely, jews had their synagogues and christians their churches

    And this is well documented by historians of the time, despite the anti-islam propaganda you hear on news

    As you can see Zionists dont want 2 states, they want to get rid of all palestinians, and have all land for themselves as theyve taken almost 80%+ of palestinian land since their illegal occupation

    Also as I was saying, middle east was never this bad till the creation of Israel and the US constant invasions of middle eastern countries, which sept 11 was excuse, (people have almost forgotten about the big bad bin laden), and are not questioning why american forces are still in the middle east, destabilising and causing civil wars in so many countries

    What I wrote may sound wacky to some, or crazy, or delusional, but if you just put the dots together, and clear your mind from all crap and lies media feeds people, as many people are finding out from biased coverage all in favour of Israel, media cannot be trusted

    Ya and worth remembering, that US support of actions like Israel is engaging in now, is part of what motivated the September 11th attacks:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motivations_of_the_September_11_attacks#Support_of_Israel_by_United_States

    War and the military-industrial-complex, is one of the greatest money making machines around, and what the US/Israel are doing here - as a side-effect - is helping to guarantee a new generation of 'terrorists', for helping to keep a state of perpetual war, that keeps the (public) money rolling.

    Fully agree, plus it keeps up need for that evil enemy who is dangerous, crazy, and not deserving of sympathy due to their "hatred of democracy and our way of life" lol etc

    In WW2 it was the japanese and germans who were "evil" people as a way to terrify the masses, and bring in new laws giving power to governments

    Then it was russians, then after they used the "brave mujahideen of afghanistan" to topple the superpower which was soviet empire, the new villain and monsters who are incapable of feelings and are deserving of what they get are the whole muslim religion

    let me just leave people with this, to clear this genocidal image peopel have of muslims, taken from somewhere else, but very true

    Who started the First World War? Muslims?
    Who started the Second World War? Muslims?
    Who Killed about 20 million Aborigines in Australia? Muslims?
    Who threw nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Muslims?
    Who Killed more than 100 million Native American Indians in North America? Muslims?
    Who killed more than 50 million Native American Indians in South America? Muslims?
    Who took about 180 million African people as slaves and killed 88% of them and threw them in Atlantic Ocean? Muslims?



    Im not trying to stir any hate, just dont see where people get muslims are fanatical etc, that stereotype only came out in last 20 years and many people are convinced muslims are some crazy murderers

    Even though all people dying in world are muslims, ethnic cleansing going on in Central african republic of muslims, muslims are being burned alive, and babies are being ripped out of their mothers pregnant bellies and trappled on in Burma by buddhist monks(people really need to be made aware of this)

    They are also being oppresed in china, basically all over the world right now

    Yeah, some of that was fairly irrelevant to be fair, any one trying to maintain balance on this will acknowledge fault on both sides of this conflict, being an apologist for muslims everywhere doesn't work out, as they do have some extreme and barbaric practices in some parts of the world. particularly where females are concerned. It's not unique to Muslims/Islam either. so easy with the strawmen

    not everything, but its definitely an over-simplistic view of the entire situation. and rubbishing it all without directly addressing a single one of the points made isn't really cricket either. So well done yourself there.
