Israel And The Palestinians (now with added Iran/Lebanon)

Recommended Posts

Questions that you would expect to be asked of Israeli spokespersons. 

"Out of the over 5,000 individuals killed in Gaza in the past 12 days, how many do you estimate were terrorists?" 

That's what I would be asking, but hey, I'm no journalist.

Find it interesting that people in Scotland have very clear views on what is an isn't said in social media posts and politicians re the conflict, but remain firmly silent when chants and comments on other religions are completely ignored. Substitute Catholic and Protestant for Jewish and Muslim and we'd have been having very different conversations for the last 50 years.

 

There is no equivalence between sectarian chants in Scotland and the situation in Gaza.

Almost all the German clubs have been overtly pro-Israel, including St. Pauli, shame they can't all get relegated.

St Pauli had to be shamed into saying something semi nice by the international fans and it took a lot of back and forth including a club employee calling people antisemites for simply asking that they acknowledge the plight of all the civilians involved.  antiD tubes. 

Babelsberg the only good c***s I've noticed.

That's taken from this by Le Monde: https://archive.ph/lKf4u

I've seen a couple of interviews with Hamas spokesmen where they've denied their organisation instructed the civilian massacres in Israel earlier this month. That's likely true, in terms of Hamas leadership. As Le Monde confirm above, the militant wing al-Qassam seem to have had full autonomy. They're led by an extremely grizzled figure, Mohammed Deif: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammed_Deif. There's then a question of what exactly al-Qassam had planned to do. The actions of their members varied hugely. Some behaved with restraint and a degree of compassion for the civilians they temporarily held hostage then left unharmed (https://twitter.com/RamAbdu/status/1711649368758005782). That suggests adherence to a strategy. Yet many others instead murdered everyone in sight, including children, psychopaths acting with complete abandon.

No there isn't, but there is in Scotland when people chant and sing songs that other people regard at bigoted. Point is that people in the public eye seem to be able to comment on religious matters in this horrific conflict, but ignore the problems linked to religion in their own back yard. No equivalence in terms of the events themselves.

I don't know who any of these people are, but it appeared on my feed and I thought it was a pretty good example of the two sides of the debate.

One contributor calmly stating facts and advocating the common sense approach, with the other ranting insanely, losing control of his emotions and hurling personal abuse.

Amazing that the shouty guy is ever invited on to anything.

So is this them now claiming responsibility for bombing the hospital?

Also some computer generated underground network isn't intelligence and with such a large array of under ground tunnels missile launches on hospitals surely doesn't fulfill even the most basic risk assessment.

You might have destroyed one entrance to the tunnels and in doing so have killed hundreds of not thousands of innocent people.

The disconnect between "public opinion" and the stance of politicians has rarely been so stark.

Starmer is obviously shit scared of being badged "Corbyn MKII" - which is hilarious on several levels - that he is merely parroting the lines of Sunak.

Even his Scottish pet Sarwar has stated his stance does not tie with Starmers now...................

I have just seen proof that there are people in America searching out enriched Uranium, which we can only guess will be used for nefarious purposes, given the obvious, haphazard approach to handling it:

I’m not a conspiracy theorist but who planted Starmer in the Labour Party?

Starmer is as much a socialist as Tony Blair was and is closer to having tory "values" than he is to core Labour/Socialist principles.

Sir Keir Starmer, former director of public prosecutions? He is as establishment as they come and is clearly sponsored by the security services on some level. That much has been obvious for a very long time.

"Starmer's positions have nothing to do with voters. This is all about signalling that he will be entirely loyal to the long-standing elite consensus of British foreign policy which has always been to support whatever the US does. When Biden changes position, Sunak will change position, Starmer will change position; it's got nothing to do with votes".

Most pertinent thing Schneider said there, for me. It's a shite system. American workers get their tax contributions spent on jets and missiles for Israel instead of on healthcare, which their state fails to provide for them. Israelis get military conscription, authoritarian governance, a sectarian society and massacres. Palestinians get immiserated, brutalised and erased.
