“No one seems to be condoning the events outright but few condemned it outright either. What Hamas have done is barbaric in the extreme so why can't some bring themselves to just condemn it without trying to diminish the condemnation by bringing up other past events. It reminds me very much of hearing corbyn in the past.”

The issue is what is your definition of barbaric?

Gaza is akin to a medieval castle only it’s walls are on wheels. For years the occupants of Gaza so much as slapped an Israeli or burnt a flag the retribution would be more severe. Fire one of your twenty year old mostly dud hand held rockets & you have an F15 or two dropping bombs on your population.

& all while this is going on you slowly but surely push the walls in so the lives of those inside become more & More intolerable.

Oh & Netanyahu saying he’s cutting the water off? Meh, He’s done that several times this year already & the MSM don’t bother saying anything.

You can’t put a population under siege & claim they are the only barbaric ones just because theirs is instant barbarity & yours is over time & behind closed walls.

At the end of it all the body bags look the same no matter who is in them.

I replied to you on the other thread, ref, you made up a story that Israel knew the attack was going to happen.

Your words below:

I’d add that anyone who thinks that shortly after not knowing it was coming Israeli forces can hit “militant areas of Gaza in targeted attacks” is imo a putting it in not too subtle a term “A fcking idiot”.

S

I will condemn hamas and what they did, I will also question your motivation for a second thread.

If you support terrorism, have the conviction to say it and stop manipulating the facts to create a narrative that is based on your opinion…….

That's because this isn't a good guys vs bad guys war. It's hugely complicated with deep roots. Slaughter innocents at a music _estival = inhumane. Imprison 2.4 mil. people behind steel fences = inhumane.

You say I quote a narrative, but is anything I said in this thread about what BN has been doing to Gaza untrue? Has the water been cut of before? Is any uprising no matter how trivial given the situation slapped down with a show of much more force. Is Gaza being squeezed (Bearing in mind it is now reported as the most crowded place on the planet).

Are these lies or just truths you don’t want to hear.

I’d also say that within other security forces including GCHQ etc. Someone will be saying

“How the fck did they not know it was coming”.

I also stand by what I said in that thread, you cannot have it both ways, either they knew & let it happen for the retribution to follow that we see now & also knew where they all are & are precision pinpointing militant locations or they didn’t know & they are not.

Not after the first hundred or so missiles anyway.

The numbers also don’t tie up. If all militants are Palestinians & as Israel claim they’ve killed four hundred within Israel in the initial attacks that means 950+ Palestinians in total. Atm on parity with Israeli deaths.

Suffering is on both sides, barbarity no matter how you dress it is on both sides & will continue to be on both sides.The barbarity is no different whether you put a gun to a woman’s head at a music _estival or drop a bomb killing families.

Except the guy shooting the woman has no fighter planes, no tanks to distance himself from those he kills & few armaments bigger than hand held rocket launchers.

I’m just as interested in thinking about the most likely, reading between lines, deseminating information & thinking “Hang on, That’s not what you said yesterday” etc.

As someone else said in the other post Netanyahu has been under pressure at home for a while for his ultra right stance. If you are already a warmonger & the opportunity for a war drops in your lap only a fool would say “Nah, Not possible”.

Is that the similar “Not possible” as the Roman Catholic Church turning a blind eye to the atrocities.

Because that “wasn’t possible” either until it was found to be true in documentation.

So be honest with us, after two days of aerial bombardments into Gaza, over one thousand missile strikes are you still confident the armed forces are only attacking militant strongholds.

The real truth is that even if Israel didn’t exists the Arabs would likely be fighting amongst themselves anyway & if so the only reason anyone would give a shit elsewhere in the world is oil.

My stance & opinion is fed by my beliefs (or lack of them). I’m an atheist so to me no people have a “Divine Right” to anything, not Arabs, not Israeli’s, not Christians, no one, no matter who you are or where you live.

No one is better or worse than the man or woman standing the other side of a fence, a wire, a border.

To me they are both fighting over a piece of desert that one is living on & the other one wants it for their continued expansion.

That is all. Sadly the obliteration of Gaza will not end it. Probably far from it.

As Netanyahu said today “It’s only just begun”.

Does this not boil down to Newtons 3rd law?

To every action is a reaction (modified slightly)

If you have penned 2.5 million people into 100 square miles, cut off the water, cut off the electric, seized and bulldozed homes, invited people from all over the world to come and settle and fund this settlement, stopped the entry of medication and food and continue to push a people, can you really stand there and be shocked when you are attacked back?

Yes but Israel has NEVER committed horrific crimes against civilians. they have been harsh with aid to the region (mainly when they have been attacked by these terrorists! but they have NEVER EVER done such nasty evil atrocities like we are watching Hamas do! Never have they reveled in pleasure at attacking the old, children and civilians!

Imagine getting almost annihilated during world war two. having no place to call home because no one wanted you.

and when exactly did they get turfed out? ohh yea. it was when Israel was attacked by the arabs from all regions (6day war). they ran away and never returned. I do not condone that. but not one arab country helped them then!

UP UNTIL the weekend I was all for peace. BUT fuck anyone who condones what Hamas has done.

and and if you feel so strongly, PLEASE go to Palestine and show them your support! see how quickly you will be taken as a hostage because you are not Hamas or a Palestinian! see how quick they will be prepared to shoot you!

I wish you and your family well, however I feel this conversation is pointless. You have told me to f off above, linked 9/11 to palestinians, lumped all arabs ( an ethnicity) as one instead of nationalities (multiple) whilst all I have tried to do is explain that violence does not occur at random. That actions have consequences, that you see the pain of Israelis but not the pain of Palestinians.

I can’t debate with someone who can’t see that Israels policies over 50-60 years have been to dismantle and destroy any claim of a people who have lived there for 1400 years, whilst building upon occupied land to strengthen their claim.

You mention the world war above. Well when few people would not allow the jews to settle in their lands the Palestinians accepted you

I agree with this but it also works in reverse when you think about the acts of hamas at the weekend and how can they be shocked at the retaliation? It becomes a sinister version of chicken and egg and how does it ever end while civilians on both sides suffer

Your last paragraph is a crock of shit. The Palestinians had nothing to do with this ship, it was blockaded by the British before it reached Palestinian waters and taken to Haifa, an Israeli port. Palestine hadn't even given permission for the ship to dock. We learn this in primary school.

A i think you will find the Mufty of Palestine during world war 2 told the nazis DO NOT send them here, we dont want them, and even suggested killing them! check that out on wiki or you tube or even the history channel!

B I never linked anything to 9/11? never said that!

C it was the British that made a mandate to let jews in to Israel!!!!! Never any of the ARAB states!

and for the first 2 or 3 years of Israel getting its independence they never made any restrictions. restrictions only started when the likes of the libians, the syrians and the PLO started terrorizing Israelis! and thus the circle of pain begins!!!!!

up until Saturday, I was a left wing, peace wanting, two state wanting person!

BUT what Hamas has done has destroyed that.

My family (and may I just say there are 3rd Generation Israelis in my family, as my father and grandparents went there as refugees from Rumanian where they where physically forced out by the antisimetic post war government.

there are so many muslim country's in teh world, so many christian countries. so let Jews have one country (which is smaller then Wales may I add). is that too much to ask for, considering it was a Jewish country before the muslim religion even existed!

yyou telling me, my aunt who is born in Israel, my cousin and my aunts Grandchildren do not deserve a place to live?

next you will be sayingh Hitler was a decent chap! Hamas are right to do what they have done and its all this evil children who went to a _estivals fault!!!!

sorry mate but I do know my history when it concerns Israel and it was the LAND of the jews long before it was arab land

You mention the world war above. Well when few people would not allow the jews to settle in their lands the Palestinians accepted you

Your last paragraph is a crock of shit. The Palestinians had nothing to do with this ship, it was blockaded by the British before it reached Palestinian waters and taken to Haifa, an Israeli port. Palestine hadn't even given permission for the ship to dock. We learn this in primary school.

You are correct Bess, nonetheless Jewisj people were welcomed to the area by Palestinians, A brief excerpt from wiki is

The Balfour declaration was published on the 2nd of November 1917 and the Bolsheviks seized control of Russia a week later. This led to civil war in the Russian Empire. Between 1918 and 1921, a series of pogroms led to the death of at least 100,000 Jews (mainly in what is now Ukraine), and the displacement as refugees of a further 600,000. This led to further migration to Palestine.[206][207] Between 1919 and 1923, some 40,000 Jews arrived in Palestine in what is known as the Third Aliyah..

Therefore Palestinians were already present and took in refugees

I wish you and your family well, however I feel this conversation is pointless. You have told me to f off above, linked 9/11 to palestinians, lumped all arabs ( an ethnicity) as one instead of nationalities (multiple) whilst all I have tried to do is explain that violence does not occur at random.

A i think you will find the Mufty of Palestine during world war 2 told the nazis DO NOT send them here, we dont want them, and even suggested killing them! check that out on wiki or you tube or even the history channel!

B I never linked anything to 9/11? never said that!

C it was the British that made a mandate to let jews in to Israel!!!!! Never any of the ARAB states!

and for the first 2 or 3 years of Israel getting its independence they never made any restrictions. restrictions only started when the likes of the libians, the syrians and the PLO started terrorizing Israelis! and thus the circle of pain begins!!!!!

up until Saturday, I was a left wing, peace wanting, two state wanting person!

BUT what Hamas has done has destroyed that.

My family (and may I just say there are 3rd Generation Israelis in my family, as my father and grandparents went there as refugees from Rumanian where they where physically forced out by the antisimetic post war government.

there are so many muslim country's in teh world, so many christian countries. so let Jews have one country (which is smaller then Wales may I add). is that too much to ask for, considering it was a Jewish country before the muslim religion even existed!

yyou telling me, my aunt who is born in Israel, my cousin and my aunts Grandchildren do not deserve a place to live?

next you will be sayingh Hitler was a decent chap! Hamas are right to do what they have done and its all this evil children who went to a _estivals fault!!!!

sorry mate but I do know my history when it concerns Israel and it was the LAND of the jews long before it was arab land"

The issue isn’t about a Jewish state. The issue is of having a jewish state at the expense of people who were already there.

With regards to your family members I hope they are safe and find safety soon.

thank you.

But until Hamas is destroyed and the Palestian actually want peace , which they clearly do not. My family and loved ones in Israel will never be safe!

you talk from the point of view from a one sided way!

I on the other hand talk very personally! right now Hamas actively want all Israelis initiated/ whipped of the face of the earth!

that is MY family.

Just fucking condemn what they have done! simple as that!

no excuses! pure evil and an act of war!

whatever arguments you have are wasted/ they have done wrong more then anything Israeli jews have done! its a fact!

we can argue history till we are blue in the face but even you cant say they are right for what they have done.

Imagine watching someone live in your house for 50 years without recompansating you and justifying it by saying it was going to be taken anyway, so why not me…

Remember https://youtube.com/shorts/piIgkqPmI-w?si=JE5PjkCT_xZBsTsB

Imagine getting almost annihilated during world war two. having no place to call home because no one wanted you.

and when exactly did they get turfed out? ohh yea. it was when Israel was attacked by the arabs from all regions (6day war). they ran away and never returned. I do not condone that. but not one arab country helped them then!

UP UNTIL the weekend I was all for peace. BUT fuck anyone who condones what Hamas has done.

and and if you feel so strongly, PLEASE go to Palestine and show them your support! see how quickly you will be taken as a hostage because you are not Hamas or a Palestinian! see how quick they will be prepared to shoot you!

be my guest!!!!

Palestine was under British mandate before, during and after the Third Aliyah. It was the British who allowed Jewish refugees into Palestine, not the Palestinian muslims. Their constant demands for independence and resistance to immigration led to a rebellion in 1937, followed by continuing terrorism and violence.

Actually prior to 47 Palestine was a mixed batch of Jews & Muslims. When Israel was proposed by the UN the Palestinian Jews voted for it, the Muslim ones against.

But they were all Palestinians. It got through so ergo on paper at least Palestine welcomed the Jewish people.

& Mr Pink prior to the creation of Israel as a state every Jew living there was surely a Palestinian one were they not?

They were surely already living in Palestine & then a signature or two & Shazam without even having to move house they are suddenly living in Israel.

Or is this a wrong assumption?

If by the wave of a wand Israel became the size it was in 1947 & although Hamas were not overly happy they didn’t have the peoples support nor the support of Jordan, Egypt & Syria (from memory) because it’s the world of today & not 1947 & they have the land back they lost in 67.

Would you want the wand waved or not? It would likely mean all those not born in Israel now living there would have to depart, but would you wave the wand?

"I replied to you on the other thread, ref, you made up a story that Israel knew the attack was going to happen.

Your words below:

I’d add that anyone who thinks that shortly after not knowing it was coming Israeli forces can hit “militant areas of Gaza in targeted attacks” is imo a putting it in not too subtle a term “A fcking idiot”.

S

I will condemn hamas and what they did, I will also question your motivation for a second thread.

If you support terrorism, have the conviction to say it and stop manipulating the facts to create a narrative that is based on your opinion…….

You say I quote a narrative, but is anything I said in this thread about what BN has been doing to Gaza untrue? Has the water been cut of before? Is any uprising no matter how trivial given the situation slapped down with a show of much more force. Is Gaza being squeezed (Bearing in mind it is now reported as the most crowded place on the planet).

Are these lies or just truths you don’t want to hear.

I’d also say that within other security forces including GCHQ etc. Someone will be saying

“How the fck did they not know it was coming”.

I also stand by what I said in that thread, you cannot have it both ways, either they knew & let it happen for the retribution to follow that we see now & also knew where they all are & are precision pinpointing militant locations or they didn’t know & they are not.

Not after the first hundred or so missiles anyway.

The numbers also don’t tie up. If all militants are Palestinians & as Israel claim they’ve killed four hundred within Israel in the initial attacks that means 950+ Palestinians in total. Atm on parity with Israeli deaths.

Suffering is on both sides, barbarity no matter how you dress it is on both sides & will continue to be on both sides.The barbarity is no different whether you put a gun to a woman’s head at a music _estival or drop a bomb killing families.

Except the guy shooting the woman has no fighter planes, no tanks to distance himself from those he kills & few armaments bigger than hand held rocket launchers.

I’m just as interested in thinking about the most likely, reading between lines, deseminating information & thinking “Hang on, That’s not what you said yesterday” etc.

As someone else said in the other post Netanyahu has been under pressure at home for a while for his ultra right stance. If you are already a warmonger & the opportunity for a war drops in your lap only a fool would say “Nah, Not possible”.

Is that the similar “Not possible” as the Roman Catholic Church turning a blind eye to the atrocities.

Because that “wasn’t possible” either until it was found to be true in documentation.

So be honest with us, after two days of aerial bombardments into Gaza, over one thousand missile strikes are you still confident the armed forces are only attacking militant strongholds.

If anyone is seriously contemplating showing Palestine and/or Hamas and sympathy or solidarity over these attacks, think also on this. Palestine has one of the world's highest counts of human rights violations, as per Amnesty International. This is not hyperbole, these are facts that can be found on Amnesty International's website. These include:- Abuses by armed groups, Freedom of expression, association and assembly violations, Arbitrary detention, Torture and other ill-treatment, Women’s and girls’ rights abuses, and some truly horrific abuses of LGBTI people by ordinary Palestinian citizens.

Israel has every logical and ethical right to keep these people at bay.

Ok, My opinion is that it’s highly unlikely that this was a surprise attack.20-100 yeah maybe but 1000 armed men. But let’s just say it was a surprise.

So ignore everything else because the most important paragraph was the last one & you didn’t answer it. Israel have said they’ve fired (Probably well over by now) 1000 missiles into Gaza.

Do you still believe they are targeting militant areas?

It’s quite a simple Yes it No & I won’t go on to elaborate on your answer because I won’t need to.

I LOVE MY FAMILY, MY FAMILIES FAMILY AND MY FRIENDS IN Israel!

what Hamas have done is disgusting.

While the majority of Israelis did want peace. now peace is off the table. and just read Hamas's mandate. They do not want peace and never have wanted peace. they want and have always wanted death and annihilation of the Jews of Israel!

and I hate to say this. But now I don't seek peace! I seek revenge.

trust me. I never ever thought I would say that or ever mean it!

and if I don't stopnow! I will carry hate in me which I do not want.

no more comments from me. infact I will stop reading this so do not bother to answer me

I think this sums up my feelings on the situation pretty well. Not mine but it will do...

“There is a dangerous tendency to treat this as a simple matter of picking sides but those who point out it is more complicated than that tend to be the target of shrill attacks from the fanatics on both extremes. Being disgusted by Hamas' massacre of innocent Israeli civilians does not mean condoning Israel shelling of innocent Palestinian civilians. Being critical of Israeli policy is not the same as being anti-semitic, though some do all that they can to conflate the two. Being disgusted by Hamas does not preclude being sympathetic to the plight of Palestinians. The victims of both sides are the victims of those higher up the political food chain.”

Be them men, women and or children"

I used to say that myself! but we, Israelis, do not go into Palestinian villages and kill indescrimently (not until now that is) We don't massacre people at a _estival and We didnt just decide "its a nice day to kill and take hostages!".

Listen to me.

I know i am taking this very personal. but I have justification for it.

Israel would love peace and if Palestinians did not allow and cheer Hamas, many restrictions would be lifted. BUT Hamas do not want peace! they want annihilation or all Israeli Jews!

enough is enough! if you don#t want peace and you wanna kill us. we will kill you. simple!

and I hate Hamas for making me feel that way

Of course taking it personally, that's understandable.

But you do know Israel have been killing civilians for decades.

Either Palestinians, Hamas, Israel, whomever they are, killing civilians is abhorrent. Ramping up and killing more is just escalating the hate.

up until Saturday. I said exactly the same! two wrongs do not make a right!

But that all finished the moment Hamas decided to start an all out war. this attack was planned, very well planned in fact! and it was meant to hurt the innocent/ they didnt attack militery bases! they attacked teenagers in on eplace, then went into villages and killed people, old and young in their homes!

They want to hurt kill and wipe my family off the face of the earth. I lose any empathy I had for them, I lose all respect I have for them and now say! stop using your children as shields. I do not care anymore for anyone who supports and allows Hamas to make sure peace can never be achieved/ If you want to harm us as a whole. fine. but you suffer the consequences and dont cry and say we are the evil ones.

Mate when did I say I hate your family? You Israelis always claim to be victim (not being offensive) You guys confuse not liking the government and its actions with being anti-semetic and hatred? and I’m not sure what u mean by the last point but Israel has been involved directly in many genocides across the globe which I find so sad knowing what happened in ww2.

Everything else you said is pretty much word to word what a Palestinian would say to you? but their the ones who are suffering in essentially an open air prison in their own country but now this happened to you guys it’s an issue?

"What a load of bull shit your talking LOL.

I don’t condone what Hamas done with the murder of innocent civilians, I think everyone sane will agree with that. It’s tragic and I feel for you on that.

HOWEVER, how dare you say Israel has not committed any crimes or killings of innocent civilians and children when it is well documented. I suggest you pick up a history book or consult with any historian. BOTH sides have committed horrible crimes.

You seem to think Israel is blood free and some peace loving state which I find funny. When a population is pushed to their knees and they retaliate how are you blaming them. For 70 years plus, the ethnic cleanising of villages of native Palestinians to house Israelis. The amount of cases of Israel killing children is sad. HAMAS are simply a freedom fighting (somewhat rougue I agree) group whereas ISRAEL is a government. It’s simply crazy that you think Israel hasn’t done any of this?…

We never heard Israel or anyone condemn Israel themselves for the crimes against humanity they did but when hamas do it we need to condemn them?

oh yeah btw I personally hate Israel for a personal issue. They were involved in being contracted and bombing civilians and children in my country so I find it ironic .

"

"HAMAS are simply a freedom fighting group"

Hamas are an internationally recognised Islamic terrorist organisation well known for their brutality against Jews, as well as their "own" people. ISIS, Al Qaeda, Boko Haram, Taliban are all the same. Notice the commonality between these groups? Google "list of terrorist organisations" and you'll find a wikipedia page with the list. Again, notice the commonality between 99% of the groups listed. As we see in the news - large groups of people in many countries screeching "gas the Jews". Those gibbering baboons couldn't find Palestine on a map if you drew big red arrows pointing to it. This is not about Israel, it's about the destruction of the Jews.

I don’t understand when Israel does it, it’s all okay? And they’re a professional government. Many people would call them the terrorist. I’m saying they’re both horrible organisations and don’t have a place in this world. There shouldn’t be a need but you can’t just have a military state try and govern a population without repercussions. Also Hamas i agree hamas is a terrorist organisation but they’re acting on needs of freedom fighting. Is that better wording? The fact you brought Islam (i can sense ur inferring that) into this is crazy as Palestinian Christians and Palestinian-Muslims are suffering side by side.

Israel will retaliate and it will be harsh. but its retaliation to terrorism! Hence why nearly all of the free world has shown its support to Israel!

I said. "i sued to say two wrongs don't make a right" but after this attack, I say "fuck em. we now ant revenge"

Its not nice I know. BUT fuck em. what they have done is sickening, apporhent , discusting, evil and planned to hurt as many as possible! you start this. now expect a fight back that you deserve to lose/

"As a man with 90% of his family in Israel, who up until Saturday was anti war, pro peace. I now want to see HAMAS and anyone supporting Hamas DEAD!

watching my family and friends in Israel from here is killing me.

and watching news reels where the Palestinians are cheering Hamas while they parade innocent children, women and pensioners they have captured as hostages. makes me HATE them, I want them all strung up and killed!

THEY do not want peace, they want to annilate all Israelis and all Jews!

I am Jewish and all my left wing beliefs of wanting peace has gone. FUCK them all. and I hope they all rot in hell

........................

Is the Israeli weaponry smart enough to distinguish between Hamas/Hamas supporters and Palestinian children?

If not their response is creating innocent victims and Palestinian people who will think a lot like you unfortunately.

so! it was ok to kill our young teenagers and our kids? and its perfectly fine to take our civilians as hostage, then to parade them to cheering crowds?

guess what!!!! an eye for an eye, to tooth for a tooth and on a VERT PERSONAL note

2/3/4 hamas/palestinians/crowd cheersrs for one Israeli child sounds good to me!!!!

funny this! Israelis do not use our children to shield our fighters! HAMAS do!!!!!!"

--------------------------------

I absolutely dont believe it's OK to kill teenagers or kids, Israeli or Palestinian, but you're sort of endorsing my point in your response.

Palestinians kill Israeli teenagers and children.

Israelis kill Palestinian teenagers and children.

Palestinians kill Israeli teenagers and children..and so it goes on.

An eye for an eye most definitely makes innocent Palestinians and Israelis blind.

I know about Gaza. My question stands.

Is there a higher power keeping Palestinians in Gaza?

I know the Israelis only allow them to cross with a permit, and Egypt don't want them crossing en-masse.

Do prisons usually have a net migration rate?

Not really a prison, you know, where you're actually a prisoner are not free to leave.

What does 50% of Gaza being children have to do with my question?

I believe they’re issued permits issued by Israel at the border if you’re a trader or aid worker. The ordinary citizen would be rejected most likely. And if they are allowed out what are they supposed to do. They won’t have valid documents, their home villages would have been taken over and built over, jobs wise what chance do they have. And why should they sacrifice the only land they have left.

On the Egyptian side I don’t know but there’s the Sinai desert which is massive and a dangerous journey. And I’m assuming there’s limitations.

My bad for assuming you meant different. We all have different perspectives looking at the same issue. There’s no point on arguing on this issue as people already have a side they passionately believe in.

No drama, you seem to come at this quite emotionally, as has the other guy above.

It's a genuine question though, I've seen it being called 'open air prison', it's not a prison to me as they can leave, albeit with a permit, or Egypt accepting them.

I don't think displacement makes it a 'prison' either. There is the question of 'where can they go?' But again, that doesn't make it a prison.

It seems like people, journalists, NGO's etc are using that word because its emotional and fuels the mantra that Palestinians are innocent.

Now, I'm not saying most aren't innocent but so were those people massacred. Hamas created this current situation.

This is a case, same as most wars, of FUCK AROUND AND FIND OUT.

I think we will have to agree to disagree, the way you’re speaking about this it’s okay to what’s happening to the Palestinians. They’re also humans and the way your talking about them is if they’re subhuman and don’t deserve basic rights.

I did speak with emotion at the start lol mostly as I got mad at one of the previous comments made. Also it’s a form of expression when ppl mention ‘open prison’. And tbh actually an open prison functions quite similarly.

What hamas done was disgusting and they should face the consequences. Many people would agree with that if it was that simple.

But when one side is favoured so much they can only do so much.

"“No one seems to be condoning the events outright but few condemned it outright either. What Hamas have done is barbaric in the extreme so why can't some bring themselves to just condemn it without trying to diminish the condemnation by bringing up other past events. It reminds me very much of hearing corbyn in the past.”

The issue is what is your definition of barbaric?

Gaza is akin to a medieval castle only it’s walls are on wheels. For years the occupants of Gaza so much as slapped an Israeli or burnt a flag the retribution would be more severe. Fire one of your twenty year old mostly dud hand held rockets & you have an F15 or two dropping bombs on your population.

& all while this is going on you slowly but surely push the walls in so the lives of those inside become more & More intolerable.

Oh & Netanyahu saying he’s cutting the water off? Meh, He’s done that several times this year already & the MSM don’t bother saying anything.

You can’t put a population under siege & claim they are the only barbaric ones just because theirs is instant barbarity & yours is over time & behind closed walls.

At the end of it all the body bags look the same no matter who is in them.

Yep… it’s called Israel…. Basically there is a big fence surrounding the Gaza Strip so people can only get in and out at certain checkpoints

There is one crossing from Gaza into Egypt but you need permits to cross… it’s mainly used for humanitarian purposes… but Israeli warplanes are bombing that as well to the point where Egypt have closed it

So they are basically trapped in.. and with no electricity, water and food being let in.. by definition you are starving the population… that by international definition is a war crime

So they are basically trapped in.. and with no electricity, water and food being let in.. by definition you are starving the population… that by international definition is a war crime

'Humanitarian purposes' like seeking asylum?

Surely not...

Even if Egypt have closed that checkpoint, its been called 'open air prison' for way way longer than the last couple of days.

and Israelis are not allowed in Palestine, that is by the order of Palestinians, unless for work or medical purposes. but no one ever mentions that. now do they! so the bollox goes on and still!!!!! do you condone the evil atrocities Hamas has done? I bet you have not watched the youtube fims I have posted "

I'm sure everybody is horrified by Hamas actions. But a lasting solution will only come from cool heads. You have to treat the disease not the symptoms. Violence just begets violence, and the cycle of hate and killing goes on. Compromise and fair solutions are the only answer to this mess.

Calm down mate!

I hate Hamas and anyone who condones. justify s or legitimizes what they have done, But I do not blame all Muslims,

In fact. just today two Muslim friends have called me wishing me and my family well. They both condemned what Hamas is doing! and I know the Majority of Muslims hate what is going on.

It's come at a pretty convenient time for Netanyahu, given the mass protests against the reduction of the High Court's power in Israel.

Not to say the ongoing conflict with the Palestinians hasn't been simmering.

Some other country needs to just step in and make the rules there. Cos Israel and Palestine are never going to do it themselves.

Keep hearing that it has come at a time to try and end a potential normalisation deal between Israel and Saudi Arabia and other countries in the area. Such a deal would not be welcomed in places like Iran. Some are saying the reason for the barbaric massacre on such a scale and of such cruelty is to force a strong reaction from Israel which in turn puts the potential peace deal at risk

Sometimes people need a reality check. Some people want peace and harmony. Until evil knocks on their door. Then they change their minds and want retribution. Sometimes I think I want people to realize that fact. Regardless of your ideologies. You are going to choose what is and what isn't. Maybe everyone needs to suffer to make the understand .

Yes it's illegal under international law to deprive a population of basic amenities such as water, electricity etc as is a lot of what goes on in Israel against the Palestinians. So much for international law though. Anyone would be upset by it.

Mate when did I say I hate your family? You Israelis always claim to be victim (not being offensive) You guys confuse not liking the government and its actions with being anti-semetic and hatred? and I’m not sure what u mean by the last point but Israel has been involved directly in many genocides across the globe which I find so sad knowing what happened in ww2.

Everything else you said is pretty much word to word what a Palestinian would say to you? but their the ones who are suffering in essentially an open air prison in their own country but now this happened to you guys it’s an issue? "

I love how in one sentence you pretend not to be anti-emetic ( I agree critising Isreal is fsir game) and then in another say " You Israelies all claim to be a victim"

You are just a racist and a bigot

Let's not forget that Hamas are not a legally recognised military or political organisation, they are criminal terrorists. They are, in the main, Palestinian citizens. Those who provide them with homes are Palestinian citizens. Those who provide them with food are Palestinian citizens. Every Palestinian citizen is an accessory to the brutal murders of children, young people at a music _estival, families with children, the horrific list goes on. They are also accessories to Palestine's horrendous human rights violations, as can be found on the Amnesty International website. It has to stop.

We need to be very careful using absolutes.. a large proportion of Palestinians absolutely support Hammas implicitly or explicitly but their will be a large number that do not and are scared to speak out against hammas.

Iran is supporting Hamas and Hezbollah. If the wonder left Asshats think that those ideologies is acceptable speak your mind. Iran is trying to influence.

I agree, but regarding the last part of your paragraph, never has the following been more apt.

"First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me."

Hamas will ultimately directly, or indirectly destroy those who do not speak out. It's what they do.

That would be humanitarian aid as in food to feed the population … the UN food program reportedly feeds at least half to three quarters of the population

I only mentioned it… because you could have replaced the word Palestinian with Irish in your statement and it would not have sounded too dissimilar …

I am not condoning in any form the actions of Hamas

I believe that one set of war crimes does not justify another set..

Penalising an entire population is not going to help you find an eventual solution…

And if you don’t believe that this isn’t retribution.. the Israeli government is using the exact same blockade tactic in the West Bank Territories… no Palestinians allowed outside of the territory and actually no travelling between towns

“The lesson of the past four decades is also that every attempt to wipe out Palestinian armed groups has only produced more extreme iterations and worse conundrums. Two days after Israel’s invasion of Lebanon, a planeload of Iranian Revolutionary Guards arrived in Damascus and headed to Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley with Syrian president Hafez al-Assad’s blessing. Since Iran arrived in the Levant, it has never left. Hizbollah — Tehran’s most successful export since the 1979 Iranian revolution — was formed, and with Iran, vowed to evict America from Lebanon and the Middle East.

In 1983, the US suffered a devastating blow when suicide trucks blew up first its embassy in Beirut and then the Marine contingent of a US-French multinational Force. President Ronald Reagan pulled out the Marines, briefly keeping US warships off the coast of Lebanon. Syria bided its time while the Soviets replenished its arsenal, becoming the ultimate arsonist of American plans in the region while posing as a firefighter. Damascus fulfils a different role today as Iran, Hizbollah and Russia maintain a heavy presence on its soil.

With US citizens now among both the dead and the hostages from Hamas’s lightning attack, and a US carrier strike group on its way, America is now involved beyond simply being Israel’s ally — just as it was in Lebanon, minus the troops on the ground. Israel is seeking revenge, but the US should heed the wider warnings from 1982.

There is no evidence that the Soviets had a hand in the devastating attack against the Marines in October 1983 but agendas aligned from Moscow to Tehran and Damascus. Similarly, there is no evidence that Russia provided any kind of support for the horror that unfolded in Israel on Saturday and Moscow maintains good ties with Tel Aviv — so far. But anti-American agendas still align, especially while Washington supports Ukraine and is pushing to normalise ties between Israel and Saudi Arabia. Iran has been supplying Moscow with drones. Hamas leaders have made several visits to Russia recently.

At its core, the current conflict is about the longest occupation in modern history, one that leaves the Palestinians dispossessed while Israel quests relentlessly for its security. But the bigger picture is one of regional shifts and global alliances reaching a critical juncture. The danger now is of more strategic blunders that will only perpetuate the violence for years to come.”

I strongly suspect this is orchestrated by Iran / Russia. As you say, it draws the eye away from Ukraine and other areas such as European energy security.

It also means some of the limited supply of ordnance is going to be diverted from Ukraine to Israel (particularly if the conflict expands). This may slow the Ukrainian offensive enough so that after the Winter stalemate the Russians have scaled up armament production enough to make it more difficult for the Ukranians in the Spring.

Then there is also the side benefit to Russia and Iran of reinforcing the narrative of the Western aggressor.

With two wars going on, others may also see the opportunity to realise their territorial ambitions.

"BTW the MSM appear to have forgotten about the war in Ukraine! I am not saying one or the other is more newsworthy, surely they both are?

And other Russian aggression such as blowing up the gas pipeline to Finland last Sunday.

See I had no knowledge of that happening.

It’s almost as if Iran helped/encouraged Hamas to draw the “eye of the west” away from Russia. That is not to say Iran and Hamas do not have their own agenda, but in this case it benefits Russia also.

I strongly suspect this is orchestrated by Iran / Russia. As you say, it draws the eye away from Ukraine and other areas such as European energy security.

It also means some of the limited supply of ordnance is going to be diverted from Ukraine to Israel (particularly if the conflict expands). This may slow the Ukrainian offensive enough so that after the Winter stalemate the Russians have scaled up armament production enough to make it more difficult for the Ukranians in the Spring.

Then there is also the side benefit to Russia and Iran of reinforcing the narrative of the Western aggressor.

With two wars going on, others may also see the opportunity to realise their territorial ambitions."

Nostradamus will be saying “told you so”

Israel has nukes. Russia has nukes. If Iran proven to be behind Hamas attack Israel could target them. Will Arab nations allow that? Will Russia? Then what?

Escalation and expansion of regional conflicts with some of the same actors directly or indirectly involved could lead to something akin to a WW3. Doesn’t bear thinking about.

"“The lesson of the past four decades is also that every attempt to wipe out Palestinian armed groups has only produced more extreme iterations and worse conundrums. Two days after Israel’s invasion of Lebanon, a planeload of Iranian Revolutionary Guards arrived in Damascus and headed to Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley with Syrian president Hafez al-Assad’s blessing. Since Iran arrived in the Levant, it has never left. Hizbollah — Tehran’s most successful export since the 1979 Iranian revolution — was formed, and with Iran, vowed to evict America from Lebanon and the Middle East.

In 1983, the US suffered a devastating blow when suicide trucks blew up first its embassy in Beirut and then the Marine contingent of a US-French multinational Force. President Ronald Reagan pulled out the Marines, briefly keeping US warships off the coast of Lebanon. Syria bided its time while the Soviets replenished its arsenal, becoming the ultimate arsonist of American plans in the region while posing as a firefighter. Damascus fulfils a different role today as Iran, Hizbollah and Russia maintain a heavy presence on its soil.

With US citizens now among both the dead and the hostages from Hamas’s lightning attack, and a US carrier strike group on its way, America is now involved beyond simply being Israel’s ally — just as it was in Lebanon, minus the troops on the ground. Israel is seeking revenge, but the US should heed the wider warnings from 1982.

There is no evidence that the Soviets had a hand in the devastating attack against the Marines in October 1983 but agendas aligned from Moscow to Tehran and Damascus. Similarly, there is no evidence that Russia provided any kind of support for the horror that unfolded in Israel on Saturday and Moscow maintains good ties with Tel Aviv — so far.

From a US pov.. the irony is that in the budget the extra spending the president wants to give to Israel is going to get tied up with the extra money they want to give to Ukraine, which is the one thing republicans didn’t want.. but now probably won’t have any choice

I can refer to many 1000s of cases however I urge everyone to search up the sabra and shatila massacre which was conducted by the Israeli forces alongside other extremist forces. Babies were ripped out of pregnant women and mutilated, women r@p3d and thousands killed at the hands of an Israeli army.No one to this day has faced accountability as the world looked on. Its sad to see the same thing which Hamas has committed recently.

Well besides a few comments from OIC, nothing much will happen. Most of the arab countries surrounding Israel are Kingdoms and they themselves feel threatened by warlords and militia. Countries like Turkey and an Egypt, they will only limit their participation to speeches and statements - as they know they will be wiped out in front of combined Israeli and American firepower. Egypt in last decade faced a massive problem with Muslim brotherhood, so supporting any militia which function on the similar ideology is threat to their existence, so they both will watch everything from sidelines. Note that Turkey is already suppressing Kurdish movements with a force of power..so they know what consequences and repercussions they could face if they support any militia. Saudis and others kingdoms, don’t want to entertain any militia as most of them are supported by Iran, predominantly Shia and they are Sunni, another point is if these militias are given support by Saudis and Qataris, they can topple their own Princely Rule. Saudis and Qataris rely on US support to survive, one strong statement from US they will crawl back. So nothing is gonna happen, until Iran send IRF and Russia openly support Iran with money and firepower. Anyways, Americas shifting focus from Ukrainian to Israel will end the Ukraine Russia war sooner than later as Ukraine cannot win against Russia without dollars and firepower provided by USA

"I think this sums up my feelings on the situation pretty well. Not mine but it will do...

“There is a dangerous tendency to treat this as a simple matter of picking sides but those who point out it is more complicated than that tend to be the target of shrill attacks from the fanatics on both extremes. Being disgusted by Hamas' massacre of innocent Israeli civilians does not mean condoning Israel shelling of innocent Palestinian civilians. Being critical of Israeli policy is not the same as being anti-semitic, though some do all that they can to conflate the two. Being disgusted by Hamas does not preclude being sympathetic to the plight of Palestinians. The victims of both sides are the victims of those higher up the political food chain.”

You know I just read that quote 2 mins ago and gotta say it kinda sums it up for me too.

believe me when I say that USED to be my view too! until I saw the horrific scenes and then spoke to my family in Israel!

They are scared and angry. you kill there children and now they want revenge! AND I can't blame them! I can't say to a mother whos child went to a peace loving music _estival and is now dead or is a hostage! "give peace a chance!" or "you know, there are two sides to the story". NO WAY.

I have been screaming for years for peace, saying that love thy neighbor! My family even hired Palestinian builders for decades, when Ii am in Israel, we go to the arab bakery *may I just add, they are arab israeli millionnares. This has been an unsolicited attack on innocent young people!

Now let the Hamas and people cheering them on feel the wrath for Israel!

and yes. it goes against everything I have preached for years. But I condone Israel. I agree with Israel and I hope Israel destroys Hamas and all its supporters!

Be them men, women and or children"

I say this as someone whose maternal grandmother was a French Jew who escaped the Nazis. Criticising the actions of the Israeli govt is not anti-semitic.

Israel claims to not be a theocracy. In theory anyone of any race or religion can be voted in to the Israeli parliament (that wouldn’t happen of course) because it claims to be a parliamentary democracy.

Criticising someone for being Jewish is anti-semitic.

Criticising a Jew for doing something bad is not!

I also criticise the actions of Hamas (and ISIS, and the Taliban etc) but that doesn’t make me anti-muslim. It makes me anti-evil cunts!

Correct but let’s give more context...

On the 18 September 1982, a widespread massacre was carried out by the militia, while the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) had the camp surrounded. The militia had been ordered by the IDF to clear Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) fighters out of Sabra and Shatila, as part of the IDF's maneuvering into West Beirut. As the massacre unfolded, the IDF received reports of atrocities but did not take any action to prevent or stop the massacre.

Gazan Gays… I mean it’s so obvious who’s the bad guys here. Their leading officials have repeatedly called for the mass extermination of Jews. They hunt civilians on a yearly basis.

To equivocate between a military police state that tends to follow the rules and a terrorist-civilian milieu requires a sick mentality with a faulty moral compass.

Again why the Star Wars comparison???? It really does undermine the credibility of what you are saying.

Above Fabio says that the IDF sending in troops would beca red line for Syria and others. I have no idea if that is correct but if so it sort of explains why Israel uses airstrikes as primary form of attack alongside artillery.

However, neither of those can avoid “collateral damage” or the deaths of innocent citizens. If Israel wants to wipe out Hamas rather than the Palestinian people per se, then boots on the ground going house-to-house seems the right and proportional approach. Find and kill the evil bastards that are terrorists by all means, but do all you can to avoid killing innocents because otherwise the cycle of violence and retribution just gets perpetuated forever.

The 22 US nationals murdered/missing will be the driver here. Even if the USA did become isolationist, anything threatening their citizens would awaken the giant and potential for military intervention, which seems fair enough to me!

There are millions of citizens of all countries with dual-nationality. So British/Israeli. American/Israeli or any other like dual-nationality citizen like 22 old Kim Damti: Irish-Israeli woman who was murdered in the initial attack.

It's the Correct term.

Well. Not if I say so at all . . .

American POB Legislation - for example - allows for both your American birth - or vis-versa and Israel designation on your passport. There is similar Law in all Europeans countries.

Not sure what 'the best of both worlds' means really?

For children of Parents born in both Israel and 'pick a country with such legislation' it is their absolute right to claim dual-nationality and are proud to have such dual-heritage recognised on their passport.

Hamas murdered children and babys, Hamas have been attacking Israel with rockets for decades. 1000s of armed Hamas fighters started this war and will pay a heavy price for doing so. We often hear about a seige against the Palies if that were true how did they get the weapons etc to use in the attack. Also this amount of fighters did not just suddenly appear with out most of the other Palies knowing. So sad to see so many suporting those who went out to kill babys, children and un armed people in Israel. Just like the USA who funded the IRA who murdered so many in Northern Ireland and Britain.

Not seen anyone “supporting Hamas”

Have seen people saying it is always innocent civilians who suffer the most.

Have seen people discussing that both sides are to blame for what has happened since 1948.

It is perfectly possible to condemn Hamas while feeling sorry for Palestinian civilians.

It is perfectly possible to condemn the actions of the Israeli Govt while feeling sorry for the Israeli civilians.

Feeling sorry for civilians caught in the crossfire is not condoning the behaviour or what had happened.

You just made a point that I made much earlier from another angle.

“How could so many Hamas fighters be inside Gaza without the population knowing”.

I’d say if they did know then so did the leaders in Israel & BN & others in his government allowed it to happen so he could then carry out the total destruction of Gaza once & for all which has probably always been his aim.

With regard to the killing of innocents & barbarism the real reason Israelis would not do this that or the other is because they don’t have to. If you take away your army, take away your airforce & all carry your own weapons & fight yourselves & the barbarism would come (back) soon enough.

Remember how you got the State of Israel in the first place.. Palestinian Jews were seen as the terrorists & they were the ones blowing up buses etc.

These people did not become “Non barbaric Israeli Jews” because someone gave them a new passport.

I also agree with another poster regarding “Foreign nationals”. Imo these figures are used too indiscriminately. On holiday, visiting family or at a Kibbutz then sure you are “Foreign” But using that dual nationality to stoke up support abroad when someone has lived in Israel for many years with no intention of returning is bogus & BS imo just the same as separating Hamas militants & Palestinians.

They are all Palestinians coming out of Gaza whether Hamas or not. Unless of course they are foreign national infiltrators but then if that were the case & given Israel is one of the most security conscious countries on the planet you’d have to also say the hierarchy within its Government most definitely would have known about it.

I think we should look more at this “all the Palestinians are complicit in the actions of Hamas because they knew they were living amongst them”.

As an analogy lets loom at Northern Ireland in the 1970/80s.

Were ALL the Catholic Northern Irish complicit with the IRA? Were all the Protestant Northern Irish complicit with the UDF?

These terrorist organisations are one step up from organised crime. Much of their funding comes from the same activity that organised crime groups operate inc kid-napping, extortion, protection rackets, drug smuggling/dealing, etc etc.

If you were a Catholic and knew of people in the IRA would you speak up? Would you grass on them? Or would you keep your mouth shut to protect the lives of your children and family? If the IRA came to you and told you they wanted to hide one of theirs in your house for a bit, or store some equipment. Would you say no? If the IRA had scored a victory would you support it and celebrate it while they were watching and if you didn’t really support it, keep quiet about it? Would you be wary of your neighbours in case they were full on supporters or even involved with the IRA?

Now transpose that to Gaza and hand on heart tell me how you would act?

Without doubt there are “normal” Palestinians who support Hamas (we have seen footage of celebrations) but there will also be those who don’t but are too scared to speak out. I don’t blame them. I would be too!

"Sickos upon sickos upon sickos here

Chill dude No need to spread hate here.

Can someone recommend a swinger club in that part of world when this shit is over. Make love not war

Gazan Gays… I mean it’s so obvious who’s the bad guys here. Their leading officials have repeatedly called for the mass extermination of Jews. They hunt civilians on a yearly basis. Maybe that’s why they had to be behind a wall in the first place; the West Bank never used to be until they launched intifadas. I don’t doubt they’re suffering, or the number of deaths from airstrikes, but the airstrikes are literally always retaliatory (state your case if you don’t believe this) and very different to hunting people down. To equivocate between a military police state that tends to follow the rules and a terrorist-civilian milieu requires a sick mentality with a faulty moral compass.

Ofc a military-police state that *tends* to follow the rules isn’t exactly great either. Almost everyone here speaks out of ignorance though and see Israel as the Evil Empire from Star Wars or something of that nature

Again why the Star Wars comparison???? It really does undermine the credibility of what you are saying.

Above Fabio says that the IDF sending in troops would beca red line for Syria and others. I have no idea if that is correct but if so it sort of explains why Israel uses airstrikes as primary form of attack alongside artillery.

However, neither of those can avoid “collateral damage” or the deaths of innocent citizens. If Israel wants to wipe out Hamas rather than the Palestinian people per se, then boots on the ground going house-to-house seems the right and proportional approach. Find and kill the evil bastards that are terrorists by all means, but do all you can to avoid killing innocents because otherwise the cycle of violence and retribution just gets perpetuated forever."

The Israeli authorities have the exact coordinates of every single UN based building in Gaza… be that the schools that they run… and the places where they give food out as part of the distribution program

And yet .. some of these have been targeted and bombed and civilians as well as UN personnel have died

The Red Cross/ Red Crescent, who run ambulances in Gaza, have specifically marked vehicles so pilots know… these have been attacked and personnel have died

The bombing of Gaza stopped being about specific targets after night 1….. it now about punishing an entire population as is the blockade of electricity, water, fuel, and food

"“No one seems to be condoning the events outright but few condemned it outright either. What Hamas have done is barbaric in the extreme so why can't some bring themselves to just condemn it without trying to diminish the condemnation by bringing up other past events. It reminds me very much of hearing corbyn in the past.”

Old weapons? Hammas are funded by most of the Arab nations?

The issue is what is your definition of barbaric?

Gaza is akin to a medieval castle only it’s walls are on wheels. For years the occupants of Gaza so much as slapped an Israeli or burnt a flag the retribution would be more severe. Fire one of your twenty year old mostly dud hand held rockets & you have an F15 or two dropping bombs on your population.

& all while this is going on you slowly but surely push the walls in so the lives of those inside become more & More intolerable.

Oh & Netanyahu saying he’s cutting the water off? Meh, He’s done that several times this year already & the MSM don’t bother saying anything.

You can’t put a population under siege & claim they are the only barbaric ones just because theirs is instant barbarity & yours is over time & behind closed walls.

At the end of it all the body bags look the same no matter who is in them.

I have read similar reports to that as well. They seem to get weapons in ok so perhaps they can use the same route (most likely tunnels) to get some food in at least

If that happens Israel will not be on their own. Israeli air force and USA strike fleet are ready.

22 US nationals murdered/missing and every Israeli will have seen the pictures of butchered children. 2000 US marines in that strike group. Possibly a second heading there. you've changed your tune blu, only last week you didnt want to be the worlds police and wanted all your troops back in the u.s"

US hostages. That changes dynamics. We can go anywhere in the world on short notice. Now the USS Battann is heading there too.
