Re: Israel and Palestine

What I read from your posts in this thread is your anti-Muslim/anti-Arab sentiments I have repeatedly said that the bombardment of Gaza must stop. I have repeatedly spoken about innocent Palestinian civilians. But I utterly deplore Hamas. Just like I deplore ISIS, and the Taliban and any jihadi ter...

Re: Israel and Palestine

That's a fairly dumb argument in fairness.

Re: Israel and Palestine

To be clear, I completely disapprove of this terrible bombardment of innocent civilians in Gaza. It's deplorable. I can understand people being horrified and going out on the streets. I would also go out, if there had been mass condemnations of what Hamas did to Israeli citizens. But there really wa...

Re: Israel and Palestine

Whatever Israel should have done in response to Oct 7 events, what they did, and continue to do, for two months now, on a daily basis, is most certainly unacceptable to people as the worldwide street protests affirm. That the representatives of those protesting - their governments - do little to sl...

Re: Israel and Palestine

I still think those things. But after October 7th...

Re: Israel and Palestine

So US vetoed the UN resolution in favour of supporting Israel killing civilians. Nothing new for the US there then. What Hamas did to civilians was horrendous, and what Israel is now doing to civilians is equally horrendous. There is absolutely no way we can murder civilians in a civilized world, a...

Leaving this here for the record. I can't read it fully. It's unbearable in the scope and depth of the depravity.

Yes I suppose so. I see your point.

Re: Israel and Palestine

I don't agree. However cross a different even objectionable opinion makes one - and I'm as guilty of that as the next, especially as I feel very strongly, even traumatised, in this case about the violence against women meted out by Hamas - if the opinion holder is not being provocatively mean or abu...

The irony is Yahya had a brain tumour while in Israeli jail and he was operated on and his life was saved by Israeli surgeons. He then went on years later to lead a terrorist organisation called Hamas which went on the mass slaughter and gang rape rampage in Israeli kibbutzes and a youth festival, r...

41 workers in India have been freed after 17 days trapped inside a tunnel. Thank goodness. What a scary time for them. It must have also been horrible being taken out by the rescue pipe.
