"I have just heard that the hamas leader ismail haniyeh was assassinated in iran by an alleged israeli strike. Israel have not made a comment about it, the strike came just after haniyeh had attended the inauguration of irans new president in tehran. What is your view about it, was it israel or was it someone else who did it? We will know more about it as the news comes in about it." Perhaps Hamas is sufficiently weakened to allow a better government to emerge, Palestinians can have a brighter future without being dominated by terrorists and (hopefully) now, Israel can call it a win and the war can stop. | |||

"Wasn't he seen as a bit of a moderate ? If whoever replaces him is more hard-line what does that mean for any peace process.." Define moderate, in this context? What, about Hamas, is moderate? Serious question. -Throw Fatah/political rivals off buildings -Throw gays off buildings -Drag "immoral" people by motorbike -Swear to annihilate Israel -October 7th under his leadership -Constant barrage of rockets for years -Suicide bombings -Celebrations when civilian Israelis are killed Moderate? | |||

I listened to the today programme on R4 and whilst they didn't mention that he might have been they did say he was central to if the pre talks taking place do move forward.. I do wonder if taking him out in Iran's capital is more about saying we can get anyone anywhere maybe by Israel.. | |||
" I do wonder if taking him out in Iran's capital is more about saying we can get anyone anywhere maybe by Israel.." Almost certainly. | |||

" Well world leaders will have to hope that others don't follow the US & Israeli playbook" Some might argue he's more of a terrorist leader who grabbed power than a world leader... It's debatable, at the very least. | |||

All of those things I could put in reverse, and include I.D numbers, Thousands in prisons, Check points, No food, no water, no electricity, tick tok videos, tieing civilians to jeep bonnets, injured civilians at that. Sodium bombs (bombs that are that incase sodium metal so when on detonation the sodium melts and burns anything it comes into contact with including human flesh) high yield bombs Killing all in a building to kill one terrorist, no homes, living in tents, trapped waiting to be bombed And having the option to repopulate taken away by killing the population. Killing women (making repopulation through reproduction difficult as the women are being killed). Killing children (so when sorry if they reached repopulation age they could repopulate, but most cannot because they have been killed. Israel moderate hardly. 22% and falling. | |||

"One Terrorist down many more to come. Both Hezbollah and Hamas are among the worst Evil of Terrorists in that area. Sounds like America had a lot to do with this one so hopefully the world will get together and do the all in." Kill them ALL. Less make the world an unsafer place to live in. War, War and more war. Yeh lets have it. | |||
"One Terrorist down many more to come. Both Hezbollah and Hamas are among the worst Evil of Terrorists in that area. Sounds like America had a lot to do with this one so hopefully the world will get together and do the all in." Sorry forgot to add. 22% and falling. | |||
"It's been clear that Netanyahu has no real desire to end hostilities quickly, or even at all, whilst he can continue in power. It's possible that he sees escalation and provocation to be means to his desires. The IDF may largely be following his instructions. It's uncertain whilst little is known but we may get clarification, if he sees it as serving his needs " That may be the case, but the Arab states want the annihilation of Israel. | |||
"One Terrorist down many more to come. Both Hezbollah and Hamas are among the worst Evil of Terrorists in that area. Sounds like America had a lot to do with this one so hopefully the world will get together and do the all in." Dwarfed by UK /USA collation in Iraq that killed 500,000. Gaza death toll is currently less than 10% of this. | |||
"One Terrorist down many more to come. Both Hezbollah and Hamas are among the worst Evil of Terrorists in that area. Sounds like America had a lot to do with this one so hopefully the world will get together and do the all in." I would think one outcome of the last nine months is that there are now alot more recruited into these organisations. Every Gazan will have lost someone, the next generation of freedom fighters/terrorists will be larger in number Islamic terror attacks across the globe have/are increasing. | |||
" Well world leaders will have to hope that others don't follow the US & Israeli playbook Some might argue he's more of a terrorist leader who grabbed power than a world leader... It's debatable, at the very least." Some might argue Israeli settlers are occupying foreign and are fair targets. It's a messy and complicated situation that shows no prospect of compromise nor resolution. | |||

" Can you explain why a white European jew has more of a claim to move to Israel than locals who were forced off their land and are refugees in Gaza?" Do you mean a specific person, or people in general? Actually, addressing the issue of white-skinned Israelis... You are weaponising skin colour to say "those people don't belong there".

How about the Armenians? The Egyptians? The Iraqi Jews? The Ethiopian Jews? Is a white-skinned Israeli born to descendants of immigrants who arrived in 1875 less entitled to be there than a child born to a Syrian immigrant in the UK is entitled to be here? | |||

I think you should drink decaffeinated coffee before you come on the forums.

I've given you ample reason and all you do is deflect away from uncomfortable truths. Maybe your gullible, naive with I'll deserved confidence in your intellect or just a rather vile racist supporter of what horrors humans have done I'm the past.. I've seen horrors committed under one label or another and they're so very similar. Zionism is not Judaism! Zionism is the same abomination under a new label and for me I'll [never ever] support it. I'll not bother replying to any more of your posts .. do now go ahead.. accuse me of more crap. Because 9m not going to waste time reading your drivel | |||

And all I've said is that everything you don't agree with something you carp on about Israel being bad, Netenyahu being bad and now on another thread you are claiming Hezbollah, Hamas etc are not responsible for firing missiles but rather it's the responsibility of those the missiles are fired at. Thought it was a sick joke at first but think you genuinely believe it. And you try and question my IQ but you spout some rubbish. Going to have to think how it's the responsibility of any innocent Arab or Jew having a missile fired at them. Beyond belief. Mrs x | |||

Mrs x"Except that they have started wars, including 1967 when they got control of the occupied territories. Maybe Egypt was about to start it, but we’ll never know. Many experts think Egypt wouldn’t have started. And Zionists started the whole thing. Maybe they did need a state, but they still started it. From the beginning, Palestinians, who had been living there, have really been a thorn in the side of Israel. Likud have been in power most of the time since 1977, and have consistently been against a Palestinian state, especially under Netanyahu. Israel has had a policy of “mowing the lawn”. However atrocious Hamas’ attack was, it’s either untrue or simplistic to say that they started it on 7 October. And there have been different factions within Hamas. Hamas did add to their charter in around 2018 to accept that the Palestinian state would be within the 1967 border, I.e. 22% of the whole. There is evidence Haniyeh wanted a peace deal. I expect Hamas, and most other Palestinians, would prefer that Israel doesn’t exist. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t negotiate with them.

"Wow, what an honour, thank you! However, I feel that people far more knowledgable and experiences in foreign affairs and peacemaking have been failing for years, so I’m not sure what I can add…. But I do feel that mainstream Israeli and Jewish attitudes have to change somehow. e.g. re Israel never starting a war, constantly being attacked - I was raised zionist, and that’s what we’re taught. We’re taught nothing about the Naqba. Zionism’s responsibility for the expulsion of Palestinians in 1948 is ignored - despite statements by Zionist leaders supporting that since at least the 1890s. (Herzl spoke of spiriting the penniless locals across the border.) Until there is greater acknowledgment of Palestinians genuine grievance, going back over a century, I don’t see much hope for peace. Once they accept that, I think moderate parties will be able to work together to reach a solution that satisfies enough people. But as you say, there will always be extremists - we’re seeing it today in the UK. | |||
" However atrocious Hamas’ attack was, it’s either untrue or simplistic to say that they started it on 7 October. Would you say that it was started in 1947? What would you consider a start date? Your are 100% correct that it was not started on October 7th. However that was a major escalation that shattered the status quo (whether or not you believe that the status quo was heading in a relatively okay direction overall)." Interesting idea of a status quo heading in a direction… But if this it was a status quo, it was one of occupation, and it it was heading in a specific direction, it was of normalising it. So it’s no surprise that Hamas wanted that shattered. As to when it began - with the first waves of aliyah in the late nineteenth century. At the very least, since the 1917 Balfour Declaration. But I know from your posts that your well-informed, so I’m sure you knew that. I’m not saying it was inconceivable that Jews would move and live amicably amongst their neighbours. And there were always voices calling for that. But the strongest voices were calling for a “Jewish state”, which is in tension with the existence of people already there. It would also be in conflict with our Equality Act. | |||
" Interesting idea of a status quo heading in a direction… But if this it was a status quo, it was one of occupation, and it it was heading in a specific direction, it was of normalising it. So it’s no surprise that Hamas wanted that shattered. " The reported complacency of the Israeli government (leading up to October 7) was due to the fact that Hamas had not made any major moves in a while, that the status quo was holding and that Israel expected that, there would be a softening of restrictions in return for a kind of normalisation. (To explain how a status quo heads to somewhere). Whether your or not, it's another matter. " As to when it began - with the first waves of aliyah in the late nineteenth century. At the very least, since the 1917 Balfour Declaration. But I know from your posts that your well-informed, so I’m sure you knew that. I’m not saying it was inconceivable that Jews would move and live amicably amongst their neighbours. And there were always voices calling for that. But the strongest voices were calling for a “Jewish state”, which is in tension with the existence of people already there. It would also be in conflict with our Equality Act. " You say that it begins with the move of Israelis in the late nineteenth century. At that point in time, the region known as Israel/Palestine was a minor province in the Ottoman Empire. Zionists bought up land (sometimes illegally, through third parties, since Jews were often prevented from buying land). Would this be like, say, an ethno-religious group buying up large tracts of land in, say, Arizona, with the objective of creating a society there? (Early Zionists expected to live under Ottoman rule) It seems that much of the modern issue that people have with Israel today is viewing a different reality 150 years ago on a modern map, through a modern lens. That's not to say that all historical Zionists were either right or good. But there has certainly been bad behaviour on many fronts that led to where we are today. Is it possible that the vast majority of Jews who emigrated (or fled) to Israel did so as individuals or small groups, without colonial intentions, but rather "coz they're not gonna kill us there, and nobody else wants us"? Or even "because I want to reconnect with my historical roots"? 19th century immigration by Jews might just be like Indians coming over to London in today's day and age? | |||

Sadly not.....and not based on what has happened since 7th October. It goes back for millennia. I think that the mutual hatred is so deeply rooted that it will never happen. Putting a recognised border between the two that each side respects in the same way that India and Pakistan or North and South Korea were partitioned may be the only way to maintain some sort of peace. | |||
