Lord Duckhunter Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 (edited) 17 hours ago, sadoldgit said: This strange rationale that you have that everyone on the planet is open to criticism apart from Jewish people really is bizarre. Where have a said that? I seriously think you need educating on the difference between “Jewish people” & Isreali people. If I started discussing Jamaica and started saying “black people” this and “black people” that, I’d quite rightly be called a racist. You seem incapable of understanding what you’re doing wrong, the fact you continue to do it, together with the way you appear to revel in your ignorance, is pretty disturbing imo.

The problem is, when a country calls itself a 'Jewish State' some people are bound to associate the race with it and it's actions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you posted that it was antisemetic to criticise Jews. You seem to be the one with the problem and can’t help conflating my criticism of Netanyahu, his government (which is the Israeli government) and the actions of the IDF with a perceived idea that I hate Jewish people. I haven’t criticised anyone for their religion or race for that matter, just their conduct. As for your comment Batman/Delldays, given your posting history it is the height of hypocrisy to accuse someone else of overt racism.

It would have been better to have written “Israelis are just as accountable for their actions as everyone else”. I mention “Jewish people” specifically because you specifically have said that anyone criticising “Jewish people” is antisemetic”. It really isn’t hard to understand unless you are being deliberately obtuse. No one is above criticism. So no slipping mask. Just a case of stating the obvious. *Your exact words were, “I call people who criticise Jews antisemitic”.

Personally I find that very hard to believe. Everything I've read, even on the likes of the BBC, makes it clear that they've attacked innocent civilians throughout without any justification. The argument that the US were even worse in Mosul doesn't let the Israeli's off the hook for their behaviour. It also overlooks the weaponising of food, water, medicine, and mass destruction of civilian infrastructure which I would hope we all accept has been happening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite confident that we are not going to come up with a workable solution on Saintsweb however well meaning the desire for love, peace and harmony. Some of IDF’s behaviour is horrendous and is doing nothing to help anyone side with them. Netanyahu’s govt is unpopular however 7/10 has united Israel’s population largely on supporting Hamas being wiped out. And yes hearts and minds and all that reduce support but fact is the Palestinians and Hamas’s capability has been fucked now. Israel aren’t a rational diplomatic enemy as the Iranians found out recently in Syria. Don’t fuck with them, they have a siege mentality and 7/10 attacks were an act of folly. Most of Hamas' senior leadership/capability/support aren't in Palestine. One potential issue is Iran/Hezbollah/etc/etc. waiting to send the cavalry in. They don't exactly need to start a recruitment campaign for a sizable insurgency. The US found that one out 20 years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Israel do not respect the land that the Palestinians already have and constantly settle it and force Palestinians from their land. They oppose 2 states. If the Palestinians supported 2 states, the fact that the Israeli's don't (and wouldn't based on their form in the west bank), means that sustained peace is impossible 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
