The simple mindedness of some posts is astonishing, else they are deliberately hiding another agenda. There is no other way to read them.
The oft repeated accusation or implication that anti-semitism is behind the abhorrence of Israel's actions is ridiculous in the extreme. The Palestinians are a semitic people.
Semitic people or Semites is an obsolete term for an ethnic, cultural or racial group associated with people of the Middle East, including Arabs, Jews, Akkadians, and Phoenicians.
Regarding hostages, it is my understanding that Hamas takes Israelis as hostages in order to use them to bargain for the release of the Palestinian hostages Israel has taken. The discussions over the years have always been 'all for all' by Hamas. Apparently Israel would prefer to kill the Hamas held hostages rather than exchange them. They have succeeded in killing a number of them.
I don't expect Israel to agree to the release of all the 7,500+ Palestinian hostages they hold for the comparatively meagre number of Israelis that Hamas holds..
- Israel : Hamas
Hostages 750 : 1
Killings 30 : 1
I have yet to read any post from certain people condemning the murderous actions of Israel in the past ~six months. That is very telling indeed.
It indicates complete support for Israel's mass execution of the Palestinians in Gaza (West Bank is not a lot better) along with the official utterances of many of Israel's leaders that the aim is to extinguish (or deport = Nakba#2) Palestinians from Palestine so Israel can steal their land. So those posters are supporters of genocide in Palestine. Then some post 'what about' genocide in other locations - which they claim to abhor.
Two-faced?
Looks that way.
I would not be in any way upset to see the apartheid, genocidal state of Israel eliminated, hopefully along with its Zionist murderous regime.
But of course there are people who support that Israel, just as there were people who supported similar regimes in the past (and possibly in the future also).
A further note for the simple minded ...... abhorrence of the murderous actions of one side does not in any way imply support for the murderous actions of anyone else. To draw such conclusions only goes to show how lacking in logic your thought processes are; else it really does highlight your despicable support for one lot of murderers.
Prove me wrong ...... post an unequivocal condemnation,
without excuses, of the actions of Israel in the past 6 months. Go on, surprise me!

Now that Israel has decided to fight almost all powers in the region something very nasty could easily happen to it.
Their latest being the bombing and destruction of the Iranian consulate in Damascus, killing a number of Iranians. That can easily be seen as an act of war against Iran.
That act alone could be the start of a full-fledged regional war, which has the probable result of a World War.
But I guess ye will support that also ...
