hypochondriac Posted February 1 Posted February 1 Thanks goodness he's out but what sick barbarity these innocent people have endured. Kidnapping and killing young children and mothers, laughing about it and filming his devastated reaction. Just absolute scum.
SotonianWill Posted February 2 Posted February 2 Nice to see the Tommy Robinson march defaced the Union flag with some half and half Britain-Israel monstrosity. If only these “patriots” had the time to look into the history of Israel and its acts against British people, of which they’re still proud - bombing our own up. Can’t seem to upload the image 1

Lord Duckhunter Posted Sunday at 12:47 Posted Sunday at 12:47 “Hamas starved him and left him with no knowledge of what they did to his young girls, wife and brother.” “He found out today”. “his mother and his sister comforting him.”

Alas, there's unimaginable cruelty on both sides of this. Pretty much every one of the 183 Palestinian's released yesterday needed hospital treatment because of how they were treated. Overnight the Israeli's shot an 8 month pregnant woman, and critically injured her husband, just because. 1

I have never seen such a bunch. I'm not sure you've actually read my posts from earlier today. Recognising both sides behaviour is not seeing only one position. What I don't like about the 'discussion' in this issue is the perpetual attempts to shut down any commentary that criticises the Israeli behaviour. Hamas are a disgrace. The IDF are disgrace. The Israeli suffering at the hands of Hamas is terrible. Ditto the the Palestinian suffering at the hands of the Israeli's. I'm unsure where the imbalance is there. 1

Weston Super Saint Posted Sunday at 22:00 Posted Sunday at 22:00 3 minutes ago, egg said: He hasn't. He's made the factual point that both sides have acted disgracefully. Babbling on about equivalence when that point is made has become a way of avoiding having to acknowledge a fact that you don't want to acknowledge, or not wanting to acknowledge that you consider the unacceptable behaviour of one side to be acceptable. I appreciate that both sides have killed innocent people. I also appreciate that Israel have killed a lot more than Hamas. I can also see that had Hamas not carried out the attack that they did, then the vast majority of the deaths wouldn't have happened.
benjii Posted Monday at 04:50 Posted Monday at 04:50 It's funny and/or depressing when people latch onto a phrase/concept as a lazy moral "gotcha". It's even funnier / more depressing when that phrase originated from the bland proclamation of our monotonous politicians. 1

The whatabout response might be to say that if Israel hadn't illegally occupied parts of the West Bank the Hamas attack might not have happened. There is a circular argument over cause and effect that can be dragged back to before WW2, but neither side of it can hide the fact that it is a shit show with no obvious solution, and hundreds, if not thousands, of innocent people will continue to die whilst arrogant, power hungry politicians, elected or self-appointed, play their ego games. 1
