    Had seen that - would like to say that I was shocked... but wasn't ... couldn't believe how we 'rewarded' the Gurkhas ... this is as bad, if not worse ...

    ****ing BBC again <laugh>

    Joking aside, we should be helping those that helped our troops.

    And as a side note, something Fosse said, we should be letting the media in with the food aid, on condition they come out with the trucks once distributed. I know and accept media should have free access, my first sentence is just to at least start somewhere and the food trucks would be a good starting point. How they get their protection is not the IDF's problem, they take the risks as they are.

    Thats been known about for ages .
    Quite why people are surprised that "special forces" committed atrocities when by their very nature it is more likely than from standard outfits though in all conflicts "war crimes" are committed by all sides.

    Our national media is highlighting atrocities our forces have committed, whilst yours is pretending it isn't committing genocide.

    I'm sure that does happen.

    A bit that did get me curious though, some of the food stuff were things like cucumbers, well they are not going to keep very long, so unless someone is paying those prices they are going to become worthless items without refrigeration.

    I'm British.

    And the Israeli media - Haaretz in particular - is regularly scathing about what Israel is doing.

    Top post otherwise, 10/10.

    Left wingers online are surely going to start being investigated for their contribution to the antisemitism growing across the west, particularly the USA.

    I can name a few I know are extremely prominent and promoted by massive platforms that should be taken offline, terrorist supporters would be the only way to describe them.

    Free speech is legitimate until it leads to physical violence.

    Online chat is so difficult to manage, half the time you are relying on people to moderate themselves. I think the left and right are as bad as one another. That nutter TR thought he could do what he wants and ends up getting banged up, and as soon as they go to release him, he gets banged up again <laugh>

    From what I've gathered/learned from the riot crackdowns was, two things will generally get you in trouble, inciting violence and spreading misinformation, especially if that misinformation has a wider reaching effect. Thankfully I don't tend to see the former, the latter though happens all the time on Twitter.

    Most **** on Twitter these days I just ignore, especially if it's something I deem of negative behaviours. I will go to Twitter to research stuff, if an event has just happened, but it will generally be a specific search and I will look at the persons account of who is saying it. Ie is it a trusted source.

    Something I would like to see across platforms like Twitter is clear time stamping of photographic material or videos. So you know at a glance how old a particular clip is, because so much **** is getting rehashed from years back, generally designed to create hatred. People will always find a way around it though.

    I am more thinking along the lines of Twitch streamers that have huge audiences and can be silenced in an instant by a willing moderator.

    Yeah there are plentiful methods to moderate these platforms and political live streamers on Twitch stating that killings in the streets are justified is not a dilemma.

    Thankfully over night Twitch did in fact temporarily ban their largest political live steamer for his comments

    Twitch? I’m getting seriously out of touch with the modern world. I’d never even heard of that before. Is this another social media thing that’s starting up?
