@Treble You mentioned the 'Israeli agenda to displace Palestinians from East Jerusalem and the West Bank' - I agree that's what their agenda is. I would also say that it's the Hamas agenda to displace the Jewish people from the region. Both sides have the same agenda. Israel are better at pulling it off. That doesn't make them worse than the Palestinians who are aligned with Hamas. Just bigger and better. I think we can both agree if Hamas had the upper hand then we'd be sat here talking about the Jewish people being displaced, mistreated and killed on a regular basis?
Wouldn’t have thought so. Until these lot show the same energy condemning Boko Haram for kidnapping kids, using kids to carry bombs, killing kids, displacing 1.5m kids, raping and murdering kids, I can’t take anything they’ve got to say seriously. Is it because those kids are black or because they’re not Muslim or because of something else? Whatever it is, none of the Anti-Israel crew have lit up Boko Haram, a Jihadist Terrorist organisation, like they’ve gone for Israel.
Talking of the Boko Haram, reports coming in... https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/may/20/boko-haram-leader-abubakar-shekau-nigeria-forest
I've made this point before about how these posters pick and choose what offends them. Anti-semitism is alive and well in the UK, you can see it clear as day coming through the posts from people posting on this thread. A lot of rage about them Jewish people protecting themselves and not as much as an admittance that their neighbours that surround them would happily obliterate everything and everybody inside of Israel if they had the means to do so. Not as much as a squeak about Hamas policy of seeing every Jewish person removed from the region. Anybody fair minded would have mentioned both sides in play but instead it's all ISRAEL, ISRAEL, ISRAEL.
Lol. Anyway, pretty sure I've said several times on this thread about how both sides are as ****ed up as each other when it comes to lobbing missiles at each other. Remember quite a detailed debate about the Uighur muslims when Ozil tried to bring it up. As Arsenal and his sponsors told him to stfu. Which I thought was particularly crass at the time. That you in your avi btw ?
Yep, and whenever an atrocity happens in a neighbouring country it’s always the Israelis behind it. Mossad was responsible for the chemical weapons in Syria like, 100%. If it wasn’t so ****ing tragic it’d be comical.
Yeah that's me after I've just smoked a spliff... Or it could be somebody on here that's clearly raging but not speaking up... Or it could be a picture of somebody that means a lot to me... Or it could be just a random picture... I don't think you can be putting Israel in the same category as the Serbs at Srebrenica... You mad ****er You talk about Hamas like they're social justice warriors, when the truth is they're just another terrorist group with warped beliefs and intent on removing all the Jewish people from the region and the state of Israel ceasing to exist. I honestly can't see how anybody can deny that if the Palestinians had the firepower the Israeli people would be suffering the same fate and it's for that reason I struggle to sympathise so much with Palestine.
Like I said bro, the rockets into civilian areas are ****ed up, whichever side are doing it. You can't deny that Israel have ****ed Palestine up though. So I don't know why anybody acts surprised when they kick off. So which one is it on the avi ?
Question...do Hamas actually represent the thoughts of the Palestinians people though, or are they just an extreme group, not really representative of the majority. Reason I ask is because Palestinian and Israelis seemed to be living side by side amicably in the same communities until recently (exc past unrest). Also how did the PLO differ from the Hamas group of today?
The ceasefire reportedly agreed by Israel's security cabinet will come into force at 02:00 local time (23:00 GMT), which is in about three-and-a-half hours' time, according to reports in Israeli and some Arabic media. There is still no confirmation from the Israeli security cabinet. Might as well close the thread, now.
You’ll get two opposite answers for everything you ask about people in the region. People like Ponks will claim their views are clearly objective despite the fact that he was 4.5” deep in Corbyn’s ringpiece for the past few year, Spurlock will claim anything Israel does is aggressive and completely out of the blue, unfounded and unjustified and Fanwithnoname will claim he hammered 50 Israelis on his own down a back alley and got a 20 stretch. Then on the opposite side, I’d justify a fight is a fight, don’t bring a pea shooter to a gun fight, don’t chat like your God’s will is deadlier than a barrage of highly destructive missiles and stop pretending like you’d be welcoming them with open arms if the shoe was on the other foot. I’d imagine many Palestinians blame Hamas for their troubles but are too scared to open their mouths.
