Mark Connolly Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 I wonder if there is any history of folk being chased out of the Israel/Palestine region into exile in Egypt? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here she is giving her tuppence worth: Once voted the world's most beautiful woman, when when she was plain ol' Princess Raina I think. She always speaks very well and obviously has skin in the game. It's been heartening to hear some of the more moderate voices being heard, as well as Israelis and non Israeli Jews who are rightly pissed off at Netanyahu and the IDF. If it means less of the fringe elements being rammed down our throats, the better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't end well for the Egyptians. Can understand why they might not want to do that again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky88 Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 If the IDF is targeting Hamas, why do ordinary civilians in Gaza need 4 hour breaks every day from the IDF? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard work running around all day finding terrorists to shield, nice of the IDF to give them a bit of R&R for a shower and Netflix. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd expect a few must've been accidentally caught in the crossfire of all these civilian airstrikes. Tens of fighters is the only quoted figure I've seen 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunning1874 Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/nov/09/netanyahu-rejected-ceasefire-for-hostages-deal-in-gaza-sources-say It couldn't be more obvious at this point that Netanyahu/the IDF have absolutely no interest in saving the lives of any hostages. Given the choice between obliterating the entire strip with bombs and burying every Israeli hostage under rubble with it, or a ceasefire and getting Israelis back alive, they want the former because the latter will remove their pretext for ethnic cleansing. In Netanyahu's mind 200+ dead Israelis is a price worth paying for far more dead Palestinians. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just find it telling that you are so easily amused by attempting to act as the arbitrator of the quality of posts. Very few posters on here feel the need to red dot, or even green dot, at anything near the rate you do…much as very few posters here fail to realize that this is a discussion board, not a rest home for p***kly old bas***ds to yell at people in. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
