Freedom Farter Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 The story of the school in the above clip provides quite a good case study. In 2014, Israel shelled the playground, murdering and maiming a load of women and children: So you have the initial tragedy then you get the rebuilding process (some of which is funded by UK taxpayers - https://www.unrwa.org/how-you-can-help/government-partners/funding-trends). Just in March this year, a garden was built for the kids at the school: https://prc.org.uk/en/news/5622/unrwa-european-union-open-first-school-garden-in-beseiged-gaza But they can't even have that. Nine years later the IDF have returned this time to blow up the school. To destroy Fariha's "safe space", if she's even still alive: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt n Vinegar Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Well, that's that fekked. The strapline at the bottom of the Sky News page on TV at the moment says "Israel's Ambassador to the UK says there absolutely cannot be a two-state solution with the Palestinians." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's been obvious for years, except the major powers have been doing their best not to notice. If ever there was a moment for the US to start putting the strong arm on Israel, it's now. Also, the situation has a large potential for ruining Biden's run for a second term as President..., leaving the door open for you know who to let the Israelis continue doing what they want. Perhaps Israel is banking on that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Rubble Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 (edited) Is this the right place to say that Piers Morgan should be permanently censored? His constant arselickning of Mark Regev and that c**t Douglas Murray is an affront to any objective analysis of what is being perpetrated by the Israelis in Gaza. His 'performances' on. Monday and Tuesday night are worthy of further investigation. Ask for Douglas Murray, he exposes himself as a bigot who has no credibility in front of the public as an objective observer. Objective analysis? My arse. Edited December 13, 2023 by Barney Rubble 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxRover Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 (edited) Best guess on the U.S. strategy now is hope the Israeli attack can render Hamas combat ineffective, have the Palestinian Authority move in and take control over Gaza again (easily possibly IF they get the money from the Arab government AND Hamas is rendered moot) and finally get Arab countries to deploy a peacekeeping force along the Gaza border. Problem is rendering Hamas combat ineffective isn’t going well and neither is arranging a peacekeeping force. Instead, the U.S. inability to reign in Bibi will likely result in Israel back in the international sin bin (a la South Africa in the 80’s) for a while, although the spyware the Israelis produce now is too valuable to many countries for this to be a real factor. Meanwhile, a continual slow trickle of utterly despicable actions by some Israeli troops and settlers will undermine the limited moral high ground the Israelis claimed in response to the initial Hamas attack and brutality. Edit: New polling shows a bigger problem. 60% of poll respondents in the West Bank want the PA dissolved, and Hamas support has tripled. Hamas has got what they wanted, an Israeli overreaction…and as a result their support has increased.

Dunning1874 Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Three hostages who had escaped shot dead... by the IDF. Who "mistakenly identified them as a threat." It's almost as if they're indiscriminately firing on every single person they see regardless of whether they've been identified as a combatant or not, meaning the mass killing of civilians. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I see there are reports of mass protests because it's been revealed that, out of the thousands of innocent civilians slaughtered in Gaza, three of them weren't Palestinian. Hopefully the IDF can reveal that it was mistaken identity and they're still alive, then everyone can go back home and feel that all is well in their country again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it there was somehow no denying that it was the IDF who were responsible - maybe stupid enough to share photos of the corpses on their social media. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 It gets worse. They were shirtless, waving a white flag and one of them was shouting in Hebrew. The IDF's official line is that the soldiers who shot them were to blame for not following procedure, a very transparent piece of nonsense to cover the fact that they were obviously following their orders to the letter: shoot everything that moves. That might also explain why Times of Israel are reporting that 20% of Israeli soldiers killed so far have been due to friendly fire. They don't want to stop until every single Palestinian in Gaza is expelled or dead, and so far the cherished upholders of the Rules Based International Order are all too happy to let them carry on. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An accurate summng up. And a conclusion obvious to any sane and reasonable person. And yet, not picked up on by media, or government representatives. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freedom Farter Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 A reminder of the class dynamics. Vast profits are being made from the international trade of weapons which are then used to murder bin collectors and janitors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
