    You know my view on Netty bro, but that shouldn't hide the cold hard facts of why we are where we are today.

    I'd plant one in Aston for you bro, but it seems the Villa fans welcomes the Israeli side after all, it's just the bigots in power causing the problem. It seems they've withdrawn from selling any tickets for the game anyhow now, suppose I can see why they wouldn't want to come to a racist anti Jewish country, am I being too harsh.

    "Other Gazans are more sceptical, and fearful. Some aren't convinced that Hamas will give up their power - or weapons at all.
    Moumen al-Natour, a Gaza-based lawyer imprisoned several times by Hamas, is one of them.

    He has been in hiding since July, when he says masked Hamas gunmen came to his Gaza City apartment and ordered him to report to al-Shifa hospital for interrogation."

    "and ordered him to report to al-Shifa hospital for interrogation."

    "and ordered him to report to al-Shifa hospital for interrogation."

    to al-Shifa hospital for interrogation.

    Weird thing to use a hospital for.

    Irony is a dish best served by the British Bullshit Corporation.

    There's a simple answer to this, don't read what the BBC print. The media half the time aren't even interested in the truth, all the media, they are only interested in what sells to their readers or viewers. It's always been the same in any war and this war was no different but some people just suck it up, every last morsel of it - why because it fits their view. I'd rather not believe either side and try and make an assessment based on the very little we do know, taking the Israeli and Jewish hatred out of it.

    My views on Netty are clear the guy is a grade A ****, but the way some people suck up what the BBC offers without even questioning it in the slightest, leaves me sceptical to everything they say, why probably because it's the same stuff repeated time and time again often filled with hate, but it's the truth we are told, so I get to the stage of just nodding politely.

    I've seen recent articles on Mariupol a massacre everyone on here ignored, regardless of how many times I mentioned it, it seems it's even worse than I imagined, but no one cares, no one cares about any suffering, Sudan another example, you might get the ocassional brief knowledgment after my constant badgering of other world events, but Israeli hatred is and always has been more important to them, a complete imbalance.

    If you fly a Union Jack you are a racist, if you fly a Palestinian flag you are a ****ing hero - I'd prefer to have no time for either, but to some it's more important to their left or right wing bias.

    That's actually a really interesting article and shows the logistical issues in removing Hamas from power, which was never going to be achieved by flattening Gaza. In the vacuum of control and lawlessness over the last two years, coupled with rival gangs, some armed and funded by Israel, the situation there is now one which is best surmised by this :

    "The fact is – and sometimes it's very hard for Israelis to admit this – that Hamas still exists and is the dominant player in Gaza." says Dr Michael Milshtein, a former head of the department for Palestinian Affairs in Israeli Military Intelligence.

    "Relying on suspicious players - clans, militias, gangs, many of them criminals, many of them affiliated with ISIS [the Islamic State group], many of them involved in terror attacks against Israel - and considering them as a kind of alternative to Hamas is an illusion."

    It’s not a racist anti-Jewish country. Mostly. The cult of Palestine won’t go away or more likely it’ll morph into something else but Pandora’s box is open.

    But local groups have made their intentions clear, flexed their muscles a bit and WMP crumbled. It’ll still be chaos because they’re intent on protesting around the ground but nowhere near as much as it would have been.

    Imagine banning a Bosnian team’s support because the EDL promised to come down and kick off if a few hundred fans showed up and the police didn’t fancy their chances of handling it. Tommy Robinson calling on his followers to spare no away fan and that just being fine. The whole thing was mental and will stay mental over the next few weeks.

    The Birmingham safety advisory group recommended that Maccabi fans shouldn't be allowed due to security concerns and apparently the police had intel on planned violence. I don't know the details of that, and Maccabi fans didn't really do their cause much good over the weekend by rioting, but the whole thing has been turned into a massive **** show now because it's been deemed that they were banned for being Jewish, which I'm not sure is the motivating factor here.

    That said, the Police and advisory groups in Brum haven't really read the room on this and it's created an issue that like you say will probably bubble for a few weeks. I see now that Maccabi have said that they won't be accepting any tickets even if the Govt overturn the Police and local council ruling.

    It is the motivating factor in that part of Birmingham with people promising to come from other parts of the West Mids to kick off. They kowtowed to threats of violence from Muslim groups. It’s that simple unfortunately. All the hullabaloo since the decision was announced has clouded it. I’m not trying to go all Sucky but that is just how it is.

    Fair enough, I didn't know that. I'd only skim read the story. They should absolutely be clamping down on the people threatening violence, but I guess they just thought it would be easier to ban Maccabi fans and deal with the problem that way. I think the fact that Maccabi fans also have a Hooligan element didn't help, so they've gone for the option to just prevent them from coming and simply not having to deal with any public order issues.

    The problem is, this sort of **** gives fuel to Tommy ten names who I think was in Jerusalem this week having his photo taken with a Maccabi shirt on. So decisions like this just give ammo to the **** stirrers.

    It's also really interesting that you have completely blanked the statement - made by a Gazan lawyer no less - that Hamas were using the Al-Shifa hospital for military interrogations.

    So it's second floor for maternity ward, tunnel under the basement for Gestapo torture rooms and that's totally fine and Israel totally shouldn't have targeted the hospital?

    Would you murder 1,000s of kids who had nothing to do with it to get revenge?
    Would you leave the peope who ordered it alone?

    If not, it's an apples and oranges argument.

    And as for Trump, lol, he ain't gonna do **** to Qatar, he's just given them the land in the US to build a military complex in Idaho, and has guaranteed their security.

    Qatar have pledged to invest something like $1.2T into US / Qatari joint economic ventures, including $10bn upgrade of a US base in Qatar

    Trump ain't blowing anything up in Qatar

    These two are more likely to been seeing sharing a dance on the floor of the new Ballroom at the White House than lobbing missiles at each other

    You think they should have held 'military interrogations' out in the open then? ... or perhaps in a big tent with a few convenient bullseyes painted on it? ...

    Realistically they would need a building still intact to conduct anything at all ... you getting sanctimonious about Hamas using a room in a hospital after a continous deliberate Israeli targeting of hospitals, schools, churches, Mosques and designated refugee camps over two years, ain't really gaining you the moral high ground, fella <laugh>

    Can always trust you to find an angle to defend Hamas. Israel claimed certain buildings were being used as Hamas bases, which they evidently were, while all the amateur international law experts were crying about war crimes.

    No, I wouldn't kill 1,000's of kids to do it, but Hamas seem to have no problem hiding behind them.

    I'd go after them wherever they were, the people that ordered it as well.

    I've said enough times my view on Netty so not sure why you even ask that, is it because you have also jumped on the bandwagon to hate Israeli's and Jews and anyone that dares to give a contrary opinion to the daily bollocks of Piskie and Co on here?

    As for Trump he swings with the wind, guarantee's lol - You are no more savvy on the way that guy will blow than anyone else.

    Would you not seek out someone that raped and butchered your daughter, and every last one of the ****s that played any part?

    None of us on here would do what Netty has done, but none of us on here I'd like to think would ever let one member of Hamas rule with a gun again and until they stop Israel should keep going.

    Wonder who Hamas are tourturing today in some hidden lair.

    Anyway history never seemed to have a problem with the US dropping atom bombs on Japan and 1,000's of innocent civilians, but of course this is different somehow.
