    I'll ask again, as a so called neutral.

    Yes, I watched a similar thing happen Catholics in Belfast. I don't say or think that Israel are blameless, but I don't buy the group think here that Hamas are the good guys and are our friends argument either.

    Hamas are scum BUT the 1,500 victims of this are not Hamas.

    The Israeli Government cares for the welfare of its civilians so it is responsible for ensuring Hamas are hampered in spreading terror to Israeli towns and cities.

    Hamas don't give a **** about the civilians under its care, so pretty much anything goes.
    the israelies don't care about their citizens, its about money and the arms industry

    But if the Irish government had already demonstrated they were neither willing or capable ?

    In which case you are saying: what if the Irish government/people that voted for them basically supported the missiles?

    I'm confused now - because in that case, it's basically a declaration of war. Unless war had already been declared by the UK on Ireland by a blockade, etc?

    The situations are very different, and I don't see the parallels that you are trying to draw, to be honest.

    Hi Nodin.

    Because it's true, Hamas and ISIS are allies.
    no they aren't, withdraw the claim that they are

    I agree. How should a nation respond to another nation firing thousands of missiles into their country ?

    I don't either, but then I believe that might be a figment of your imagination. Eight children and two old men in a playground, the kids playing. Drone strike slams in, and all are eviscerated. Sounds sh1t, is sh1t. For as long as children are being scattered across playgrounds, torn to pieces by military ordnance, I'll argue against Israel and its "warriors".

    Not two hoots do I give why the soldier sitting in his air-conditioned remote station decided to press the fire button, he is a cnut, and those who give him leave to do so are his equal.

    Which side would you support, the IRA's actions if they were in charge, or the UK, or the innocent civilians of both the UK and Ireland ?

    Certainly not the way they're going about it now. Killing the innocent is not the way surely.

    They had the capabilities to target and take out the leaders in previous incidents so why not now?

    Would you apply to the Hamas guys as well ?

    in which they are going completely locko and blasting the whole place out of it and killing innocent people.

    Cruelty has no bounds. The truth hurts obviously.


    Ah come on your trolling over the last few pages has been of much better quality than that. Here I was hopeing you were gonna expand on your argument that the Isreali Government and this conflict are on a par with the Third Reich and WW2

    No it's not the way, but I don't think taking out the leaders would stop or has stopped the missile attacks on Israel either.

    I'd be on the side of the third group.

    I'm surprised there are not more casualties. The British fire-bombed 22,000 civilians in just four raids on one city in Feb. 1945.

    I'm asking a question, what country are you from ?

    Well its quite obvious that you are Israeli.

    To answer your question that you have repeatedly asked,Gladly Britain didnt keep us Irish locked in a cage in the last 50 years where they decided what we eat,drink and when we had power and kept us down,so the IRA didnt have to launch 'welded pieces of pipe' at Britain.

    With the Gazan's blockaded for the last 7 years,why should they not fight back.

    I'd be on Mr Murphys side. Back up to the kids in the playground, give us your views on them and their crimes? Spout some old blarney about colateral damage, etc etc. Sadly, the drone operator has 360 degree camera views, infra-red, gyro-stabilised zoom video feed-back. They know exactly what and where they are targeting.

    So, I put it to you again, what did those kids do to deserve being blown to pieces by a person sitting in a control room, pushing buttons? How many tunnels of mass destruction terrorist insurgent hamas al quaeda rocket missiles did those kids fire?

    I don't take sides in this conflict.

    As the overall opinion here seems to be Hamas = Good, Israel = Bad

    I'm asking what would be your opinion if the IRA were firing thousands of missiles into UK cities and from Irish civilian areas and using innocent women and children as cover ?
    Who said Hamas was good? :confused: By misreading basically this entire thread, you are taking a side in this conflict. By painting it in such a binary way, you're portraying any criticism for Israel as support for Hamas. That is incredibly simplistic.

    Saying Israel's actions are deplorable and disgusting and morally reprehensible is not the same as saying Hamas are good. Of course they're bad. Isn't that obvious? And asking for some sort of rational justification for Israel's actions is also not the same as being a supporter of those who fire rockets from within Palestine, and use human shields, and hide their munitions in civilian buildings. They're bad guys, we know this. But none of that justifies Israel's way-over-the-top actions.

    I see a bunch of people here talking earlier about how there's no official policy of targeting civilians. It's like you're all reading straight from the Israeli PR handbook or something. If you aim something as big and explosive as a missile at the head of a guy with a rocket launcher, then you're also, by default, like it or not, aiming that missile at everything remotely near that guy. That includes children, buildings, goldfish, you name it. Saying "But but we warned them with bits of paper 60 seconds beforehand that we were going to destroy everything around them and tough luck if you happen to be on the toilet at the time" doesn't excuse the action when it results in civilian deaths. You're then just saying it was their own damn fault they didn't vacate the blast radius in time. Regrettable, but they had it coming. That's basically what all the supporters of the Israeli offensive are saying: Civilian caught in an explosion caused by a missile we decided to fire? Well, why were you standing in the way? Serves you right.

    They surely don't have a policy of deliberately targetting civilians, but they surely do have a policy of shooting at that bad guy, and to hell with whatever he's standing behind. Human shields are not human to the Israelis. The evidence for that is in over a thousand deaths over the last little while.

    As to your point about the IRA... my own opinion would be that unlike the Israeli army, just about any other army in the world would try to minimize casualties when taking out the bad guys. The Israelis are not showing any regard for human life. If someone happens to be standing anywhere remotely near a terrorist, they're dead. Doesn't matter who they are. That is not collateral damage, it's not unintentional, it's not accidental. The Israelis are the ones pulling the trigger, firing the missiles. When they do that, they're effectively putting the responsibility for a child's life in that child's hands, despite having just lobbed a great big missile at their heads.

    But despite their apparently rotten aim, the Israelis are not idiots. Decades of experience has shown them that if they give a warning that they're going to bomb the **** out of a place, civilians are still going to die, children are going to die. So in choosing to pull the trigger, despite knowing from experience that a great many innocent civilians will still be in the way, they're showing a willful disregard for human life. They're making what might have been unintentional and accidental deaths, into fully intentional and deliberate killings. If you know people won't be able to get out of the way in time, and you still go ahead and pull that trigger, you're a murderer.

    Sinn Fien / IRA beg to differ, and I'm Irish born and bred and lived through the worst of the toubles in NI. I didn't take sides then either, much to the alarm and abuse of the group think then as well.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 27 Darkrepeater


    Well said most of you's... I actually can't believe the absolute nonscence I'm hearing from every Israeli they drag out from somewhere to have on the news..
    They're saying the same arse talk how many years...? The cliche reasons having never changed...
    Excuse after excuse of how they validate what they are doing... **** talk about how dangerous to world HAMAS is.. Etc etc.

    You'll know the answer to the problem here so.. The occupier/oppressor needs to step back. Ie 1967 borders but the Israeli government will not let this happen so in the mean they will continue to choke off the Gaza strip making life so ****ty for it's people and wait for the next round of bombs to fall on Gaza. :o While you'll still be here thinking ah what if those rocket were falling on xyz.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,740 ✭✭✭✭end of the road


    Their shared MO, motivations, religious and political extremism.

    They are both terrorist islamists who hate Israel, the West and even their own people.
    that doesn't make them allies, so withdraw the claim that hamas and isis are allies, because its a lie

    The British did not step back or cave into SF/IRA bombings and terrorism.
    And politically how would you step back if thousands of rockets were being fired into your country ? Do you think your voters would accept that ?

    I always find it odd when new members appear out of nowhere and are suddenly in the thick of things. Especially given the nature of certain threads. Ah, maybe it's just the cynic in me, it's probably just complete coincidence.
