Been listening to LBC?

The ultra right wing govt are criminal.

Im glad the world is finally waking up and not succumbing simply to accusations of antisemitism the moment Isreal receives any criticism.

They are carpet bombing civilian areas, then annoyed their actions were being viewed by the world, cut the internet to Palestine. Isreal controls all the resources to Palestine and cuts them frequently, they see land they want and simply take it. Then wonder why they get stones thrown at them and olay victim.

Probably, only it would be a lot easier because Hamas couldn’t hide behind an innocent population in Israel.

I think hostages should be swopped as both sides hold hostages.

Stop the murders of civilians.

Let aid in unfettered.

Stop the stealing of land.

Discuss a two state solution as this has been attempted in the past.

What if they used Israelis as ‘human shields’ would they still bomb their own children en men and woman? Hospitals, schools, refuge camps etc.

Israel are not carpet bombing,they do not have the aerial capability to carpet bomb,they are using precision weapons.91% of Palestine's water is controlled by Palestine.The fuel shortage is because Hamas are stealing fuel to run the generators for their tunnel network.Interesting you Haven't called Hamas criminal for murder torture k1dnap.

No, that’s what special forces are for. I think Israel would accept a level of theirs own civilian casualties to get rid of Hamas. Indiscriminate rocket attacks are more Hamas style. Even those they like to launch from behind their own innocents. Israel has blood on it’s hands too. It’s a shit sandwich.

Hamas will never accept anything but the total destruction of Israel.

And currently Israel are doing that exact thing to Gaza.

This conflict will cause a deeper schism than before. Just as Israel will remember the day the terrorist slaughtered innocents Gaza will remember how they have been pounded into dust because of the actions of Hamas.

All that's happening is they are creating martyr's on both sides and adding more fuel to the fire.

They have been killing each other for a very long time and no peaceful resolution has ever come about.

Ceasefire after ceasefire that always ends up getting broken.

I don't think we are going to solve the problems on a swinger's forum.

Since we have the blessedly sanguine topic of "Palestine - Israel", here's a question:

Why does this topic, more so than many others, elicit such strong feelings from people with no skin in the game, who have never been to either Israel or Palestine, to the point of vitriol on a swingers' forum and demonstrations that can get extraordinarily heated?

"If Hamas was hiding in Isreal. Would they take the same approach?

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm"

This is happening on a small scale with their hostages. Hamas claims they've killed some of their own in strikes. Israel is taking the approach that they cannot allow Hamas's control of hostages to hold power over Israel's actions, to make the future prospect of taking hostages less appealing.

But the question could be asked "Would Britain have done to their own people what they did to Dresden" - it kind of makes no sense (not that there is an equivalence at all, just to illustrate a point).

Because 'society' tells us we must pick a side. We seen the same with Russia-Ukraine last time round.

We see the same with trans debates too.

Crucially, were Hamas hiding in Israel, the population would not tolerate them and would expel them. By contrast, the population of Gaza tolerates Hamas. Moreover some, if not many, Gazans actively support them. So the situation on the ground, given your question, makes absolutely no sense.

For sure, the media play a huge role. For example how much do we hear about the various conflicts in Africa? Not much. A cynical person might suggest that if they were reported more heavily, we'd all feel guilty about using products with cobalt and other mineral resources that fuel these atrocities. And maybe slow down our collective rate of consumerism.

Hamas isn’t hiding in Israel.

It is hiding deliberately in the midst of Palestinian civilians, and beneath civilian buildings.

With the obvious aim that when the Israelis attack Palestinian civilians unavoidably get killed and Hamas can feed the images to a sympathetic and gullible Western liberal media.

Really? So they use up their RPG’s on building when a little boring dynamite or C4 would do knowing full well the IDF are likely to bring tanks into Gaza itself. Somewhere where tanks are more vulnerable?

I’d be saving those RPG’s for then personally. Have the IDF lost any tanks yet as I’ve not heard of any which is strange if Hamas have multiple RPG’s to lob at buildings isn’t it ??

Perhaps you need to educate yourself more about events on October 7th as your ramblings suggest that you are quite ignorant.

There is no shortage of coverage of the terrorist attacks and the responses of the Israeli citizens and military, both in video and written narrative. All widely available online.

I don't know if you've seen the news. But there's currently a conflict between Israel and Palestine. Have a look.

Of course that was a silly answer to your silly question.

Absolutely no one is suggesting that Palestinians aren't being mass murdered.

I think people are more concerned by the mass murder of civilians, women and children, than they care concerned about destroyed buildings.

Yes as they should be. The mass murder of many Israelis started this conflict.

What about the Palestinian civilians getting mass murdered?

Are they? Do we have independent confirmation of this. Have you got a rough figure.

I don't know if you've seen the news. But there's currently a conflict between Israel and Palestine. Have a look.

Of course that was a silly answer to your silly question.

Absolutely no one is suggesting that Palestinians aren't being mass murdered."

Please some simple facts.

No emotive language.

Just a number confirmed by independent sources.

"Been listening to LBC?

The ultra right wing govt are criminal.

Im glad the world is finally waking up and not succumbing simply to accusations of antisemitism the moment Isreal receives any criticism.

They are carpet bombing civilian areas, then annoyed their actions were being viewed by the world, cut the internet to Palestine. Isreal controls all the resources to Palestine and cuts them frequently, they see land they want and simply take it. Then wonder why they get stones thrown at them and olay victim.

Israel are not carpet bombing,they do not have the aerial capability to carpet bomb,they are using precision weapons.91% of Palestine's water is controlled by Palestine.The fuel shortage is because Hamas are stealing fuel to run the generators for their tunnel network.Interesting you Haven't called Hamas criminal for murder torture k1dnap."

Just want to point out something with regards to the water and fuel shortage thing

1) to get the water plants to work, you need desalination plants the operational for drinking water… for that you need the generators to work… for that you need fuel …. Isreal is not allowing in any fuel as part of the blockade

2) Isreal is claiming the UN plant that has minimal supplies of fuel left is being used by Hamas… a) UNRWA and UNICEF are saying that is not true,… b) even with the amount that Israel claims Hamas are hoarding, under normal circumstances that supply would only last 12hrs

Again……. Israel is not allowing any fuel in as part of the blockade….

Killed, yes. Murder is a debatable topic. While it may be clear to you, others have might a reasonable argument about the use of the word.

"Probably, only it would be a lot easier because Hamas couldn’t hide behind an innocent population in Israel.

What if they used Israelis as ‘human shields’ would they still bomb their own children en men and woman? Hospitals, schools, refuge camps etc.

yep they would because BN is a blood thirsty ultra right zealot and so are most of his goverment, you think all the damage in the kibbutz was caused by hammas, not a chance, lots of those buildings were hit by tank shells, whole buildings blown to pieces

Maybe Hamas weren’t involved at all. Maybe it is all just a Zionist psyop. so the isrealis didnt do anything while hammas were holding them hostage in the houses in the kibbutz? Or did it take the army so long to show up there were all gone by the time the milatary decided to rock up,is funny how whenever BN isnt the president the violence is no where near as bad but in the two or three times he has been leader the violence and death is on another level from both sides

Perhaps you need to educate yourself more about events on October 7th as your ramblings suggest that you are quite ignorant.

There is no shortage of coverage of the terrorist attacks and the responses of the Israeli citizens and military, both in video and written narrative. All widely available online.

"Hamas isn’t hiding in Israel.

It is hiding deliberately in the midst of Palestinian civilians, and beneath civilian buildings.

With the obvious aim that when the Israelis attack Palestinian civilians unavoidably get killed and Hamas can feed the images to a sympathetic and gullible Western liberal media.

Why is it that only the "gullible western liberal media" are opposed to mass murdering women and children?

The only people murdering children is Hamas.

Both in Israel and Gaza.

A. This is factually incorrect.

B. Even if this was true, why wouldn't you suggest killing women and children is wrong?"

A isn’t incorrect. As we all know the reason why children are being killed in Gaza (if indeed they are - you have yet to verify) is that Hamas deliberately places them in harm’s way. The logical conclusion that we have to draw from your view is that Israel can never defend itself because the terrorists will hide behind children so Israel cannot do anything.

Which of course is your point. You don’t care whether children die or not. You just want Israel not to be able to defend itself. Only you know why that is, but I’m sure we can all “guess”.

As for women, many women fight in the military, including in our military. I am not a misogynist so I don’t take the view that women engaged in military action cannot be legitimate targets.

"

There were attacks of that there is little doubt, but the size of said attack, the truth of said attacks, the numbers given of Hamas killed in said attacks (1500-2000 UDF figure after two days, when we witnessed none but a few here & there). & the lack of initial response to said attack (6hrs really?) I could almost walk from Tel Aviv to Gaza in that time!

Well tbh, all that is to be taken with a large pillar of salt.

Add in “The largest attack in Israel's history coming just in time to save BN & his hokey Government & the only provable fact is that people are dying & on that score the Palestinians are “Winning” hands down, or probably up some of the time.

So on that front nothing has changed.

"It took the IDF 6 hours to respond to the initial attacks in a country covered by a 45 minute helicopter ride or 5 minute fighter jet ride.

Work the rest out yourselves."

Work the rest out yourselves = "Do your own research"?

If Israel were treating this like an invasion, Israel had to assume that up to 10,000 fighters had breached and were establishing offensive and defensive positions. They had no idea in the first few hours.

Sending in anything less than 20K troops would be suicide and 5-1 ratio is a rule of thumb for an assured victory. Imagine sending in 2000 troops to an unknown situation - there could simply be more hostages, deaths and a total rout. Israel would not have that many combat-ready soldiers ready to go - the logistics are just not there. Simply because nobody expected this level of infiltration/invasion. There was the added fear that this could be a decoy for the Northern border, so taking troops from there or even the West Bank was a massive risk. This was all down to the political/intelligence/planning failure.

Responding to a mass-kid-napping operation, fighter jets are borderline useless. Attack helicopters, maybe a bit. Again, Israel had no idea what they were dealing with.

6 hours was shambolic, but certainly not unreasonable from a practical point of view. And much faster than most countries could manage.

You might not be a misogynist, but Hamas are. While women are certainly used, sometimes, in terrorist activities, they are not currently known to be active military members. While some women might be legitimate targets for other reasons, this particular point does not stand to scrutiny.

Article 17 of the 1988 Hamas Covenant stipulates that the role of women in the battle to liberate Palestine is limited to the education of children and support for men.

It's a good read. Eye opening.

If you don’t believe Hamas or the IDF for civilian death figures… let’s use a 3rd party source

The international Red Cross/ Red Crescent organisation say that as of last Wednesday they had been present at just over 2500 civilian deaths… and just over 7500 serious injuries…..

How is that as a starting point….

"Something that genuinely surprised me is that the split in the politics forum has remained the same on this issue.

I genuinely thought there would be universal condemnation of civilians being mass murdered.

But it seems that by and large the same people who think Brexit was a good idea, think the Tories care about British people, and who think climate science is a conspiracy are also the same making any excuse under the sun to avoid saying that it's as bad to kill Palestinian civilians as it is to kill Israeli civilians.

The same people whomuse logic and take in all facts take time to assess a situation and ask for evidence yet to be provided by certain individual who care more about emotive language than facts "

The be honest. The other stuff is laughable. People arguing brexit was a good idea or science isn't real.

But when you stray into the territory that it's okay to kill some civilians but not others. It's abhorrent.

So what you are saying is that the UN specifically open them up as civilian shelters solely because the IDF were bombing the shit leaving people with nowhere else to go… only for Hamas to say “we are taking these over and you are human shields!”

And remember UNRWA personnel have also been killed in these shelter air strikes

Total number of UNRWA/Unicef personnel killed so far…73

No, that’s what special forces are for. I think Israel would accept a level of theirs own civilian casualties to get rid of Hamas. Indiscriminate rocket attacks are more Hamas style. Even those they like to launch from behind their own innocents. Israel has blood on it’s hands too. It’s a shit sandwich."

Also around 30% of those rockets fail and fall back on Gaza...

Why does this topic, more so than many others, elicit such strong feelings from people with no skin in the game, who have never been to either Israel or Palestine, to the point of vitriol on a swingers' forum and demonstrations that can get extraordinarily heated?"

That is, indeed, a valid point to investigate and argue.

It does not take away from the dismissiveness of those used as shields or the crime behind that.

The be honest. The other stuff is laughable. People arguing brexit was a good idea or science isn't real.

But when you stray into the territory that it's okay to kill some civilians but not others. It's abhorrent."

It's pretty abhorrent you labeling brexit voters as supporting the mass deaths of Palestinian civilians.

There are loads of left wing lune, ramoner boot lickers who will not condem hammas or the atrocities but it would not be right for me to start labeling all socialist ramain voters as supporters of burning children alive.

For any Jew angered by the Hamas attack, there is a great option to take out your anger on a Palestinian.

Go to the West Bank and shoot a few Palestinians there.

Ben Gvir Israeli Minister of National Security will not only provide you with the weapons to do so. But will also provide the help of IDF and Israeli Police to round them up for you.

You will not have to worry about any judicial action. Just say they are terrorists or looked funny.

This activity is becoming so popular, they may open it up has a holiday package to non Jews, boosting the economy at the same time.

None of this is happening in this thread. So not sure why you're trying to make this comparison.

The loony left (and other standard insulting terms we get called) on here, have all condemned Hamas and their actions. However the same can't be said for those who are coming up with every excuse under the sun to avoid condemning the deaths of Palestinian civilians.

"Not quite sure what you're saying.

You think hamas can hide in Israel?

Youth think Israel should care not to destroy buildings harbouring terrorists?

I think people are more concerned by the mass murder of civilians, women and children, than they care concerned about destroyed buildings.

Yes as they should be. The mass murder of many Israelis started this conflict.

What about the Palestinian civilians getting mass murdered?

Are they? Do we have independent confirmation of this. Have you got a rough figure.

If you don’t believe Hamas or the IDF for civilian death figures… let’s use a 3rd party source

The international Red Cross/ Red Crescent organisation say that as of last Wednesday they had been present at just over 2500 civilian deaths… and just over 7500 serious injuries…..

How is that as a starting point….

Can we get the amount of Palestinians directly killed by Israel please.

I feel this isn't a hard question to understand. But this isnthe 3rd time of asking now.

That is the number that the international Red Cross have been at as a result of IDF air strikes

That is why I specifically used that number as opposed to the one given by that Gaza health ministry or the Israeli government

OK so we are not getting an answer on how many civilian Palestinians Israel has killed.

Thank you."

Stop the murders of civilians.

Stop the stealing of land.

Discuss a two state solution as this has been attempted in the past."

No two state solution can be discussed whist Palestinians remain committed to a charter that calls for Israel to be destroyed, a charter backed by most Palestinian “civilians”.

Is Gaza surrendering, handing over its weapons, denouncing its ambitions for the destruction of Israel, no, well clearly not enough then.

No WTF, Fact. Settlers in the West Bank have been told to arm themselves, if they cannot then arms will be provided. The IDF are running the West Bank like Apartheid in South Africa. Complain -Arrested, protest the war -Arrested, So far about 140 Palestinian have been snatched in night raids on top of the ones arrested during protests. To dates IDF have killed two twenty somethings while in custody, though apparently they died of natural causes. Israeli settlers have killed at least four of their Palestinian neighbours in the last three days or so.

In total Palestinian dead outside of the Gaza war zone is close or by now over 100.

But Hamas are the enemy & target. You know that Hamas lot who are not in the West Bank ??

You forget to mention Benjamin Netanyahu and his coalition partner Ben Gvir also are not interested in a 2 state solution.

Mr Ben Gvir leads the ultranationalist Otzma Yehudit or "Jewish Power" party which espouses racist, anti-Arab policies. He has previous convictions for inciting racism and supporting terrorism.

So I guess because they are the elected government of Israel, you will agree Israel is not interested in a 2 state solution.

I would say you seem highly emotional. Many have posted once, maybe twice, yet this is at least the 6th time you ask.

I would assume no one is replying as you would ridicule the source or call it fake news, or question if the number came from Hamas.

As another poster said, some peoples ideology comes before their humanity, you seem to be one of them

Well the IDF just about 30 minutes ago admitted that they were behind the airstrikes on the ambulance convoy leaving the shifa hospital this afternoon…..

That convoy was agreed with the international Red Cross/Red Crescent (you know… that organisation that Morley doesn’t believe is actually impartial) it was supposed to be taking some of the people who were on the emergency support systems to the Rafah crossing for agreed treatment in Egypt

It made it as far as the gates of the hospital before it was attacked

Isreal announced its “regrettable” and “sorrow” for what’s happened…..

We live on one of the routes from the south to the Mach Loop training area. Last few nights we’ve had fighters over in the pitch black. It’s usually only the big transports that practice at night. Sometimes they are low enough the pilots are the same height as we are as we are up on the Cambrians overlooking the Teifi Valley. Bad weather has put a stop to it atm though.

Well Jews are one of the one of the most persecuted people on the planet. So yes Americans will sit on their asses. Remember the response to Nazis? A ideology where there was only 1 true race. It's kind of like Hamas ideology. There is only 1 true religion. It's in Hamas's covenant. Thier constitution basically that they indoctrinate generations to accept. It's kind of like me loving my 2A rights and others from others countries disagree.I am not going to change and neither would they. So to enact change it has to be done by force.

Yes what happened to the jews was unbeleivable and wrong so you would think they would know its wrong to kill innocent ppl,and you say remember the response to the nazis?yes the world reacted in shock and horror as they should be now reacting to what is happening in gaza ,and as for hamas they are the lowest of the low but it should be remembered it was hamas who murdered on the 7th oct and not innocent palestinians

"Remember only 1 person inexplicably brought up brexit into this discussion some how.

Truly astounding work.

Well on the bright side, brexit has not been blamed for causing the current situation in Israel and Gaza. Yet Give it time. There has been a lot of UK transport aircraft flying in and out of RAF Akrotiri. Seems your government is moving alot of equipment.

We live on one of the routes from the south to the Mach Loop training area. Last few nights we’ve had fighters over in the pitch black. It’s usually only the big transports that practice at night. Sometimes they are low enough the pilots are the same height as we are as we are up on the Cambrians overlooking the Teifi Valley. Bad weather has put a stop to it atm though.

S Mach loop is a pilots dream to do. My husband was a 47 pilot. The closest I got to there was wattisham."

Ha, Wattisham was relatively only “Up the toad” from where we moved here from You realise rural North Essex isn’t rural at all once you move to mid Wales. No rush hours & we can drive twenty miles sometimes & not see another car or walk on the Forestry land “Up Top” & not see another soul all day.

"Not quite sure what you're saying.

You think hamas can hide in Israel?

Youth think Israel should care not to destroy buildings harbouring terrorists?

I think people are more concerned by the mass murder of civilians, women and children, than they care concerned about destroyed buildings.

Yes as they should be. The mass murder of many Israelis started this conflict.

What about the Palestinian civilians getting mass murdered?

Are they? Do we have independent confirmation of this. Have you got a rough figure.

If you don’t believe Hamas or the IDF for civilian death figures… let’s use a 3rd party source

The international Red Cross/ Red Crescent organisation say that as of last Wednesday they had been present at just over 2500 civilian deaths… and just over 7500 serious injuries…..

How is that as a starting point….

I assume those figures don’t include the number killed on October 7th by Hamas?

If they don’t, Hamas are responsible for the deaths of approx 3900 people.

Do you think they would do things differently in future, or repeat a similar attack knowing the consequences?"

bump....

The number of deaths and injuries that Hamas are responsible for is rising by the hour...

"Do you know that thing we said about civilians casualties

Well the IDF just about 30 minutes ago admitted that they were behind the airstrikes on the ambulance convoy leaving the shifa hospital this afternoon…..

That convoy was agreed with the international Red Cross/Red Crescent (you know… that organisation that Morley doesn’t believe is actually impartial) it was supposed to be taking some of the people who were on the emergency support systems to the Rafah crossing for agreed treatment in Egypt

It made it as far as the gates of the hospital before it was attacked

Isreal announced its “regrettable” and “sorrow” for what’s happened…..

And there my friends is a slam dunk “war crime”…..

Il say what i reckon a lot are thinking,isreal are acting like nazis and western goverments are sitting on their arses watching and doing nothing Well Jews are one of the one of the most persecuted people on the planet. So yes Americans will sit on their asses. Remember the response to Nazis? A ideology where there was only 1 true race. It's kind of like Hamas ideology. There is only 1 true religion. It's in Hamas's covenant. Thier constitution basically that they indoctrinate generations to accept. It's kind of like me loving my 2A rights and others from others countries disagree.I am not going to change and neither would they. So to enact change it has to be done by force."

You talk of indoctrination, but there is a ton going on with relation to Israel. So let’s flip the script here, and get some perspective on the other side.

It feels more and more that the Zionism regime, including far right wing Israeli government are the ones that are acting Nazi like. The occupation and persecution and displacement and down right murder of the Palestinian people has been occurring way before the 7th October. 75 years worth of genocide, if people choose to look at the full history, rather than start from

October onwards.

Zionist believe they are “Gods chosen people”and have biblical rights to the land.

The chosen-ness has an angle of ethnic supremacy. This is not the case of all Jewish folk I will add.

This ideology is taught from a young age. Read into the criticism of Birthright organisation.

The Palestinians have been shown to have Caaninite dna, who were the original inhabitants of the land going back to beyond the Abrahamic period.

There is a generally racist attitude towards people of colour also. It was discovered that Ethiopian Jewish woman living in Israel were secretly sterilised by the government, given contraceptive medication without knowledge and consent. So they don’t produce offspring. Doesn’t that sound Nazi like?

Minister of National security Itamar Ben-Gvir, has said it's not a crime for Israeli Jews to spit on Christians. It’s just a tradition. How is that right?

Each year approx 600 Palestinian children are detained by Israeli Military detention, where they are subjected to brutal treatment, sick levels of abuse and lack of care. Some of the children as are young as 12. Often there are no real crimes, just a mechanism to exert fear and enact control on the Palestinians.

Save the Children says these practices are a major and long-standing human rights concern. In the Military courts there is a conviction rate of over 95%, and the fairness is known to be highly questionable.

All the evidence that is being uncovered about the practices of the Israel regime are showing a lot of people what a big charade they have been playing to the western world. Folks are wisening up fast now, even if their governments are slow to, or even even admit to the atrocities that are occurring against the Palestinians.

The end game has always been to annihilate Gaza (then WB), displace the people and take over their lands.

Why did the Jews choose Israel as their new homeland post WW2? What connection do they have to the land?

Does this Israeli mistreatment of “Palestinian children” extend to beheading them, cutting off limbs, r aping them, burning them alive, murdering their parents in front of them?

Did the Hamas terrorists discriminate about who they killed on October 7th or did they just kill anyone they found regardless of their ethnicity? What efforts did they make to protect the innocent and forewarn them of the attacks?

Why do the Hamas terrorists hide behind children?

What I find quite shocking, and I expect that many others in this country will be the same, is how rife anti semitism clearly is in this country and indeed across the West. The West has imported a massive problem which is just going to get worse. We can now see how easily anti semitism spread across Europe and Germany previously with very little difficulty.

And indeed if I were Israel I’d be looking at the rising anti semitism across the West and thinking that if they don’t deal with the terrorists Hamas now then it’s just going to get more difficult for them in the future.

Hopefully Egypt, Saudi etc will open their hearts and borders and take the Palestinians in. That’s a joke by the way.

Egypt and other nations there are not going to take refugees in mass because Hamas would be on their soil.

"I think hostages should be swopped as both sides hold hostages.

Stop the murders of civilians.

Let aid in unfettered.

Stop the stealing of land.

Discuss a two state solution as this has been attempted in the past.

No two state solution can be discussed whist Palestinians remain committed to a charter that calls for Israel to be destroyed, a charter backed by most Palestinian “civilians”.

You forget to mention Benjamin Netanyahu and his coalition partner Ben Gvir also are not interested in a 2 state solution.

Mr Ben Gvir leads the ultranationalist Otzma Yehudit or "Jewish Power" party which espouses racist, anti-Arab policies. He has previous convictions for inciting racism and supporting terrorism.

So I guess because they are the elected government of Israel, you will agree Israel is not interested in a 2 state solution. "

Israel can’t be interested in a 2 state solution with a people who are ideologically compelled to kill Jews and destroy Israel. Look at the population growth in Gaza, childbirth has been weaponised, Palestinians are having as many children as possible as a tool to use against Israel. A population growth only possible by support from outside food aid. Anti Arab policies have developed because of Arab policies.

"Do you know that thing we said about civilians casualties

Well the IDF just about 30 minutes ago admitted that they were behind the airstrikes on the ambulance convoy leaving the shifa hospital this afternoon…..

That convoy was agreed with the international Red Cross/Red Crescent (you know… that organisation that Morley doesn’t believe is actually impartial) it was supposed to be taking some of the people who were on the emergency support systems to the Rafah crossing for agreed treatment in Egypt

It made it as far as the gates of the hospital before it was attacked

Isreal announced its “regrettable” and “sorrow” for what’s happened…..

And there my friends is a slam dunk “war crime”…..

Il say what i reckon a lot are thinking,isreal are acting like nazis and western goverments are sitting on their arses watching and doing nothing Well Jews are one of the one of the most persecuted people on the planet. So yes Americans will sit on their asses. Remember the response to Nazis? A ideology where there was only 1 true race. It's kind of like Hamas ideology. There is only 1 true religion. It's in Hamas's covenant. Thier constitution basically that they indoctrinate generations to accept. It's kind of like me loving my 2A rights and others from others countries disagree.I am not going to change and neither would they. So to enact change it has to be done by force.

You talk of indoctrination, but there is a ton going on with relation to Israel. So let’s flip the script here, and get some perspective on the other side.

It feels more and more that the Zionism regime, including far right wing Israeli government are the ones that are acting Nazi like. The occupation and persecution and displacement and down right murder of the Palestinian people has been occurring way before the 7th October. 75 years worth of genocide, if people choose to look at the full history, rather than start from

October onwards.

Zionist believe they are “Gods chosen people”and have biblical rights to the land.

The chosen-ness has an angle of ethnic supremacy. This is not the case of all Jewish folk I will add.

This ideology is taught from a young age. Read into the criticism of Birthright organisation.

The Palestinians have been shown to have Caaninite dna, who were the original inhabitants of the land going back to beyond the Abrahamic period.

There is a generally racist attitude towards people of colour also. It was discovered that Ethiopian Jewish woman living in Israel were secretly sterilised by the government, given contraceptive medication without knowledge and consent. So they don’t produce offspring. Doesn’t that sound Nazi like?

Minister of National security Itamar Ben-Gvir, has said it's not a crime for Israeli Jews to spit on Christians. It’s just a tradition. How is that right?

Each year approx 600 Palestinian children are detained by Israeli Military detention, where they are subjected to brutal treatment, sick levels of abuse and lack of care. Some of the children as are young as 12. Often there are no real crimes, just a mechanism to exert fear and enact control on the Palestinians.

Save the Children says these practices are a major and long-standing human rights concern. In the Military courts there is a conviction rate of over 95%, and the fairness is known to be highly questionable.

All the evidence that is being uncovered about the practices of the Israel regime are showing a lot of people what a big charade they have been playing to the western world. Folks are wisening up fast now, even if their governments are slow to, or even even admit to the atrocities that are occurring against the Palestinians.

The end game has always been to annihilate Gaza (then WB), displace the people and take over their lands.

Why did the Jews choose Israel as their new homeland post WW2? What connection do they have to the land?

Does this Israeli mistreatment of “Palestinian children” extend to beheading them, cutting off limbs, r aping them, burning them alive, murdering their parents in front of them?

Did the Hamas terrorists discriminate about who they killed on October 7th or did they just kill anyone they found regardless of their ethnicity? What efforts did they make to protect the innocent and forewarn them of the attacks?

Why do the Hamas terrorists hide behind children?

What I find quite shocking, and I expect that many others in this country will be the same, is how rife anti semitism clearly is in this country and indeed across the West. The West has imported a massive problem which is just going to get worse. We can now see how easily anti semitism spread across Europe and Germany previously with very little difficulty.

And indeed if I were Israel I’d be looking at the rising anti semitism across the West and thinking that if they don’t deal with the terrorists Hamas now then it’s just going to get more difficult for them in the future.

Hopefully Egypt, Saudi etc will open their hearts and borders and take the Palestinians in. That’s a joke by the way.

Egypt and Saudi don’t want them, they know and understand what these people are, a pestilence on the world."

You somehow forget to mention the ideology of the Israeli far right and how they want to drive out Arabs from Gaza and the West Bank.

Yet the extreme ideology of both sides is not supported by the majority. But the propopaga allows the world to think they are.

The talk about the Palestinians being x,y,z was also how the, exactly the way Jews were described in Europe in the last century. Different century, different people.

About nobody wanting Palestinians, nobody wanted the Jews either. Palestine was originally not the first choice for the new Jewish state. It was what is now known has Uganda. The Uganda Scheme was a proposal by British Colonial Secretary Joseph Chamberlain to create a Jewish homeland in a portion of British East Africa. It was presented at the Sixth World Zionist Congress in Basel in 1903 by Theodor Herzl, the founder of the modern Zionist movement.

The Zionists' proposal was met with equal controversy in the British colony. The white British settlers were openly hostile toward the offer and formed the "Anti-Zionist Immigration Committee," which rejected the proposal through the African Standard. They believed that British poor people deserved the land more than the Jews and expressed concerns about how the black natives would react to the Jewish immigrants. Furthermore, there were worries about granting a special territory to an alien community after the troubles in Canada with the Doukhobors, and doubts about Jews' ability to engage in profitable farming. The British media also joined in the objection, amplifying these concerns. The response of the native population to the offer is unknown, and the Indians who came to build the Uganda Railway did not entirely reject the proposal.

Thing I don’t get is, We have known for at least a week (After the 85yr old was released) that Hamas are in tunnels under Gaza.

Some of these tunnels are known to be 50mtrs underground, that’s below the level of much of the London tube network. The very place in WW2 where civilians were pretty much safe from the blitz & other munitions including the one tonne warhead V2.

You could argue that Germany continued bombing because they were at war with Britain so we were all targets.

Israel on the other hand tell us they are at war with Hamas & the only Hamas killed in the last few weeks have been those few in the surface & since the ground troops went in those confronting them.

So knowing this fact & knowing they are not even causing fighters in the tunnels to break open the band aids why are Israel continuing to bomb & for me more importantly why are we letting them?

I’d also add that to me “Hiding behind civilians” means exactly that, behind, out in the open, in their homes, in plain sight but surrounded by innocents.

If I’m fifty metres down in an impervious to attack bunker system & YOU know this & know you cannot get to me by bombing then what you do to those on the surface is down to you & you alone, not me.

That’s a choice you made, not I.

Clear enough for everyone...?

'Senior Hamas official Ghazi Hamad told Lebanese TV that his organisation was determined to repeat the massacre of 7 October, when the men of Hamas murdered some 1,400 Israelis, most of them civilians, torturing and maiming their victims in ways too cruel to recount. Hamad promised that 7 October was “just the first time, and there will be a second, a third, a fourth”. He was asked if Hamas was bent on Israel’s annihilation. “Yes, of course,” he replied.'

Only as clear as the Zionists currently in charge in Israel being bent on the annihilation of Gaza & then the West Bank.

If I’m on the ground minding my own business & some twat starts dropping bombs on my head & shooting at me as far as I’m concerned that’s a terrorist attack.

Whether I’m a Palestinian or an Israeli doesn’t really matter, Terrorism or state sponsored terrorism it’s all the same to me. The bombs don’t taste more righteous from one side than the other despite what some on here might think.

"

So is bombing hospitals specifically… and collective punishing and entire population! What part of the blockade isn’t collective punishment? "

The intention.

The intention of the blockade is a simple military/security one. Prevent a group (Hamas), voted on and supported by the population (when the blockade began), dedicated to the eradication of Israel (the cornerstone of their charter and the platform on which they were elected),from developing a serious capability to harm the citizens of Israel (for which they have demonstrated a propensity).

This is not intended as punishment. That's not to say that it does not feel like it for any innocent Gazans, who are living in the worst of all worlds.

That's almost (but not quite) like asking whether blocking the export of computer components to Russia is collective punishment against Russians.

Ask yourself why Egypt Lebanon Jordan and Syria are not taking in refugees. Then go look at what Palestinians have done to those nations prior to this conflict.

Last I heard you don’t need computers components at a very basic level to live

You do need food, fuel for electricity and for the actual water plants to function!

Bombing hospitals and ambulances is specifically against the Geneva convention, no matter what way you flower it up!!

And once again today more IDF airstrikes against UN schools converted into civilian shelters…

The tunnels are under residential buildings, hospitals etc, and they are being attacked in the tunnels, I’m not sure why you don’t think that is happening when it is easy to find out.

This is a dirty war that Hamas started, the number of injured and dead they are now responsible for is extraordinary.

I suspect the Israeli military know what is and is not possible with regards to attacking deep tunnels better than any of us. What's more relevant is the fact a tunnel, regardless of depth, has to come to the surface and therefore becomes vulnerable to attack. Hamas place civilians in the way where ever possible. On this particular occasion they also take hostages which I doubt is for sightseeing.

Actually, that is an early Christian misinterpretation of the old testament. The Jews never believed that, and believe it refers to recompense, i.e. "putting right". In the literal sense, sails someone lose a tooth to someone, then the perpetrator must compensate to the value.

If you're looking for the old testament view on revenge, it is that it belongs to God, not people.

Just saying...

What's more relevant is the fact a tunnel, regardless of depth, has to come to the surface and therefore becomes vulnerable to attack. Hamas place civilians in the way where ever possible. On this particular occasion they also take hostages which I doubt is for sightseeing.

And unless you or anyone else knows otherwise, I’ve never heard of a bomb dropped from a plane, that can drill 50m into the ground, and then explode in a tunnel. In the mean time all that is happening is schools, residencies and hospitals are being bombed.

GBU-72 you are welcome. I can mention others that can go deeper. But the 72 is a standard.

Having googled it, I can only find ones that go as deep as 10m so large depth, but still not enough to get to Hamas."

it's sand. Geography don't be ignorant. It will go deeper according to the density of the surrounding area. Where is Gaza again? It's like putting a hot knife through butter. NATO weapons are designed to penetrate Russian fortifications. How do you think those same weapons would do in a softer target area? Deeper. It's science. More mass speed and less resistance.

You think every government should give the exact capability of a specific weapon. Guess what it's a ruse. Why would you let your enemies know of your capabilities so they can counter that? It's ignorant to think otherwise. Rule of thumb. Double the capability. It's a honest assessment.

Assuming you’re right. That’s 20m. At it’s deepest (based on sand depths in Northern Egypt) the sand part could be 1-20m, followed by solid rock, which at that depth and that much area would probably be denser than reinforced concrete.

Also if these weapons were being used with the unknown capabilities you mention, the Israeli army would be celebrating the destruction of tunnels and bunkers not expressing sorrow for killing in Hospitals, schools, ambulances, residences, border crossings need I go on.

I mean with the number of excuses going on about Hamas using human shields in the North, South, East and West of Gaza along with them being in all of the above buildings (yes each and every one that has been bombed) soon Hamas will cover more of the earths surface than the seas!!!

This is a dirty war that Hamas started, the number of injured and dead they are now responsible for is extraordinary.

This war is a lot older than October 2023, and it’s faintly ridiculous to suggest that anyone involved today ‘started it’

This war, means exactly this war.

If I was referring to the ongoing conflict / dispute I would have said that.

My statement stands, Hamas are responsible for the deaths and injuries inflicted in this war, that they started.

So Israel bear no responsibility at all for even a single death?

I mean, it’s an opinion I guess.

And regarding ‘this war’ - not a single year has gone by since at least 2008 without deaths on both sides (including a dramatic uptick in 2023) Once again, this war did not start in October.

Hamas are responsible for this reaction through their action.

Israel is accountable for its response, but don’t let that take away from the fact that accountability was brought upon Israel by Hamas

I don’t think anyone has denied Hamas’ responsibility, but you’re trying to alleviate Israel of any wrongdoing, which is clearly biased and ludicrous.

I’m not doing that at all, I have said above Israeli response makes them accountable for their actions.

What was the meaning of your post? Where have you seen different in my summary

“This is a dirty war that Hamas started, the number of injured and dead they are now responsible for is extraordinary.”

“My statement stands, Hamas are responsible for the deaths and injuries inflicted in this war, that they started”

"

Let’s cut the nuance of if, buts and maybe, and get down to the facts.

Did Hamas through its actions of brutality begin the response of retaliation from Israel, that the Palestinians are now having to suffer?

Every single deaths and injury post October 7th is the doing of Hamas

I also see red shorts…. You will get that or your won’t, it has nothing to do with your views

Israel is stating the targets and why the Decisions. You think they don't know who and what is there? If a commander picks up any source of electronic equipment to relay to their forces a order . Do you think it wouldn't be picked up and geo located to the exact location?

The most sophisticated aircrafts from other nations . Monitoring communications. Just like in Ukraine. Where many Russian command and control centers have been wiped out as soon as they pick up any electronic signature. Yet it's is so far fetched in Palestine.... It's actually easier less airspace to cover.

Both sides could call for ceasefire and talks could they not? If they do not, and continue killing, who is responsible for those deaths?

‘They started it’ is seldom an excuse for killing.

Welcome back….

Now can you answer the question? Or let me put it another way.. if Hamas had not have slaughtered 1400 people on October 7th, would the Palestine people be suffering an attack from Israel that they are on the receiving end of now?

Nope the negotiations would be carried on on as to benefit them. Abraham accords was a start. Yet that had been put on a back burner and yet other people think that Hamas is righteous in their cause. Idiots in my opinion. So now face the inevitable. Peace or war. Hamas chose the latter. It's a government elected by the Palestinians and understood by the majority of the population. They know the risks you can't say they don't.

Could Israel have used some other tactic in retaliation, do you think?

I’m not pretending that Hamas are innocent. But I’m also not alleviating Israel of blame for deaths, like you are.

It's all completely nuts.

There could have been peace two decades ago. When the PLO recognised Israel and laid down their arms (on Rosh Hananna when Arafat also recognised Israel's right to live in peace) the first intifada simply stopped there and then in an instant. I was there when it happened - one of the weirdest days of my life.

The problem is that Israel's right wing view peace as a threat when it comes to a two-state solution. A two-state peace would eventually lead to clearly defined borders between Israel and Palestine, beyond which no further Israeli settlements could be established. No way was Israel going to stand for that so, as the PLO gave way to Fatah and became committed to peace, an alternative source of disquiet had to be established in order to justify the continuation of military administration of the west bank for annexation. Hamas was just the vehicle - an organisation which needed a continuous state of conflict to justify and facilitate its aims and actions, not dissimilar to the Israeli far right and settlers. So Hamas was given free reign (and considerable support) by Israel to murder and intimidate their way to power relatively contained in the Gaza strip and, since then, has stirred up ferment every time Israel has needed it. They each need the other - quid pro quo.

Cue a situation where the scene was set by internal strife in multiple states with influence over one or other of the actors there. Too many internal divisions called for diversions to focus respective grumbling populations away from their crappy leaders. Israel most of all, where Bibi's coalition of far right nutters had managed to enrage almost the entire country with new repressive legislation to the point where folks were refusing to turn up for their millo'im - that's totally unheard-of! Bibi and Gvir we're heading for a huge fall and - hey presto - guess who came up with the goods right on cue.

This time, though, the Hamas-holes went way overboard, made worse by huge chunks of the IDF diverted away from the south to guard west bank settlements instead... and suddenly Israel learned the meaning of blowback, and now they're all in a shit storm and the poor ordinary Gazans are paying the price... and it's really not their fault since they've been stiffed by both sets of leaders. It's a bloody mess and I'm so glad I don't live there any more... but it hurts me like fuck to see what's happening there and to see friends on each side at eachother's throats like this. So fucked up it defies description.

A couple of things are simple though: what Hamas did on 7th October was a heinous atrocity and it's right they should be annihilated for it - but it's also heinous that Israel committed similar atrocities at Deir Yassin, Qibya and other villages and now whitewash them - and the massacre that's ensuing in Gaza right now is the fault of both. It could stop right now if both willed it, but only if BOTH... and that's not going to happen anytime soon.

Meanwhile, I can't help wondering if the world (especially the Arab world) would be objecting so vociferously to the bombing of Palestinians if it was Assad and Putin doing it.

It all makes me sick.
