jock001 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I realise you're just venting your unnatural hatred of "ra Jews", but what do you think Palestinian children are being taught by their elected government? The King's laughably one sided take on this would look out of place in a first year politics seminar. Just out of interest: In your entire history of posting on this website, have you once made a serious comment on a serious subject? Seems to me you just sit there waiting to take irrelevant cheap shots at people posting what they think and at the same time never post your own thoughts because they are far more worthy of ridicule. If you haven't, have you ever made a serious comment on a non serious thread? Maybe you talked about football one time? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parsforlife Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Israel is bombing Gaza because Hamas keeps launching rockets at Israel. I'm not saying Hamas and IS are the same but they are on the same scale. They are both jihadist Muslim groups looking to establish countries run by their interpretations of shariah law. IS might be more extreme in their methods but that doesn't mean they don't have the same goals and objectives and it doesn't mean they can't work together. Why do you think so few arab countries are currently supporting Hamas? They are all terrified of extremist Islam and don't want to support any form of it. Exactly IS are not the same as hamas, and hamas want it to remain that way, therefore any tie in is highly unlikely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not exactly like them currently but I don't know how you can say they want to keep it that way. Masked Hamas gunmen have executed 20+ "collaborators" on the streets of Gaza in the last few days. http://online.wsj.com/articles/hamas-kills-18-alleged-collaborators-1408715295 It's not exactly the actions of a group who are becoming less radical. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam4267 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 ^^^^from the guy who said 800'000 Palestinians left their land of their own free will and weren't ethnically cleansed. Probably because it's not a fact. Some anti-Israel activists and historians have claimed it is true but many more people from a much more diverse range of opinion either believe it is false or not proven. At best it is a theory at worst it is just hyperbolic nonsense (of course anti-Israel activists and anti-Semites aren't known for that). 800,000 Arabs left Israel during the war of 1948. Civilians tend to leave places during wars. There were massacres and expulsions on both sides but no one can know how many Arabs were expelled and how many chose to leave because of war, because they didn't want to live in a Jewish state or were told to by their own leaders. It would make sense for these countries to give citizenship to these refugees who can't return home (like Israel did with the 800,000 Jews who fled Arab countries) but these countries who started the war which caused the Palestinian people to leave their homes gave them no citizenship and put many of them in refugee camps where they have lived for 70 years. Israel did agree to a UN proposal which would grant 270,000 residents and refugees of the Gaza Strip Israeli citizenship if Egypt gave them the territory. They later agreed to a plan which would allow 100,000 Palestinian refugees to return but both of these were rejected by Arab leaders. But of course, in your eyes, the blame always lies with Israel and the Jews. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam4267 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Hamas's true objective in Operation Protective Edge - and negotiations that may follow - is in "liberating" Jerusalem from the Jews, a Hamas spokesman stated earlier this week. "The time has come for us to say that the true war is not aimed at opening border crossings," Sami Abu Zuhri said. "Our true war is aimed at the liberation of Jerusalem, Allah willing." His words were translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute, or MEMRI. He then chanted "Khaybar, Khaybar al Yahood," an Arabic phrase meaning that Allah will return to expel (or kill) the Jews. Khaybar was a Jewish village north of Medina, Saudi Arabia, which was conquered by Islamists in 629 CE. Crowds waving Hamas flags cheered him on. "The army of Mohammed has begun its return," he continued. "Resistance, resistance. . .we are all with the resistance." "The war will continue," Abu Zuhri affirmed. "However, it is not only the blockade which is rejected by our people. Our people refuses to accept the defiling of the land by the occupier." "Therefore, as of today, the resistance is not preparing for the opening of a border crossing here or there, but rather, for the liberation of our Palestinian land," he continued. "This is the truth that Netanyahu should understand." "We have become more resolute to wage the war of liberation, in order to end the settlements and Judaization, and in order to liberate our land and holy places." The rallying cry emerges amid rampant rumors that Netanyahu is weighing a ceasefire, which could extend indefinitely and acquiesce to several of Hamas's unprecedented demands, including a seaport and an airport. Accusations of "Judaizing" Israel and Jerusalem are common amongst the Muslim world, despite the fact that Jerusalem is not mentioned once in the Koran and that, according to Middle Eastern Studies scholars, Mohammed himself stated that the Land of Israel is "destined for the Jews." http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/184433#.U_xzzPldUWJ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 If P&B was around during the apartheid regime we would undoubtedly see the apologists for white supremacy arguing similar positions to the pro Zionists.

Newbornbairn Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Yawn. And if we wind back I suspect some here would be on Stalin's side with his massacres of Jews and various genocides. All part of the good socialist band of brothers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
