Looks like having a cozy chat has come up with a plan for peace : https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cw8860gn1nwo Will it be accepted by Hamas? Are there any living hostages left that can be exchanged? Will it last? Will it be accepted by Netanhyau’s government? Probably not. Will the IDF stop the indescribably killing of Palestinian civilians and the intimidation of Palestinians in the West Bank? Probably not. Will it last? It probably won’t happened for some time. Good to see Biden finally stepping up and trying to impose some authority, it is about time. But given that Netanyahu has recently said that he sees it lasting another 7 months and probably feels that he needs to kill more civilians and flatten more of Gaza to keep his government and the extremists in Israel happy, I think Biden is going to have to apply much more pressure to get Israel to the negotiating table. The is a film coming out next week called Where Oliver Trees Weep and documents the experiences of several Palestinians living in the West Bank under Israeli occupation. There are a few on here who should watch it but probably won’t. Edited June 1 by sadoldgit Typo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it's completely different. If all the Ukrainians were herded over to Lviv, for example, all the other residential areas all but destroyed, ditto hospitals and infrastructure, then Lviv attacked, and the people herded away again, you'd have something that resembles what's happened on the ground. Throw in the lack of a Palestinian state, and everything else the Palestinians have suffered (in Gaza and West Bank), then it becomes fairly obvious why people are up in arms.

You’re free to express any opinion you like but nobody else is obliged to blindly believe that it must be out of some greater sense of altruism and not question your motives. It seems that everything is a great argument if it aligns to your views, and a shocker if it doesn't. On your first point, have a little think what the thread is about. It's only by your metric, and a few others, that people can't express a contrary view to yours on the actual subject without aspersions being cast. Frankly, that says more about you than me. What's happening in Ukraine is appalling, but the scale on a proportionate basis isn't on a par with what's happening in Gaza. In you think otherwise, I'd be staggered. Re Ukraine, I've tried joining that thread but there's a few (you being one) who haven't got a clue (telling us ages ago that Russia were all but out of ammo and hardware, cos that's what you were hoping for) so discussion was pointless. Re the last point, your posts are littered with suggestions (the post that I'm responding to being a case point) that people who take a contrary view have an ulterior motive or similar. The ulterior motives, consciously or otherwise, emanate from you and people with your views. That bloke in the video that Whelk linked being another. The message is simple, and stupid - your views aren't valid unless you show outage against other appalling situations. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I demonstrate examples of listening to other views you pop up to say that I just listened in order to confirm my bias. Unlike you, I try to get news from a wide range of sources on the left and right and I don't try to close myself off from a particular avenue simply because I disagree with them politically. Your way where you don't believe that anyone to the right of you is not someone worth learning to simply leads to ending up in an echo chamber. My view is not absolute - I have said for example that proven cases of IDF misconduct or illegal killings should be dealt with. The IDF are like any other party engaged in a war and should be held accountable the way that others are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadoldgit Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 (edited) Some questions - If a poster supports a people who are systematically being killed, maimed, starved and displaced, oppressed and intimidated by one of the mightiest nations on the planet who are being investigated for genocide, why the assumption that there might be an ulterior motive and what exactly would that motive be. Why is it an issue to post opinions on a thread about the Israeli/Palestinian situation on a thread about the Israeli/Palestinian situation? Sure, there is plenty of crap going on in the world but the only other thread about international troubles is the Ukraine one so it seems like no one in this forum wants to raise other issues. That does mean that no one cares or is interested in them though does it? This has been headline news in our media since last October and given our role in why we are where we are it would be more of an issue if nobody wanted to talk about it wouldn’t it? It is not mutually exclusive to care about an issue and post on a forum about another. Given the amount of fuss made over protesters singing “From The River To The Sea” there hasn’t been a peep from the same people about Tommy Robinson and his thugs marching through London yesterday chanting “Allah is a c*nt.” Ulterior motives maybe? The large banner they carried saying This Is London Not Londonistan was dismissed as just a bit of bantz no doubt. This desperation to discredit genuine concern for a people and their homes which are being obliterated by inferring some kind of hatred for a certain religion is very poor. If I was a cynic I might say that it is being driven by an ulterior motive. Footnote - I don’t know if this has been mention before but the name Semite was originally given to a group of people who spoke the same language. This group included both Arabs and Jews. This means that Arabs are also Semites and when you label someone as an anti Semite you are inferring that they hate Arabs too. Perhaps it would be more helpful if you used a more appropriate label, anti Jewish? You won’t though because you know that weakens your argument. So much easier to label someone as antisemitic than someone who has issues against a religious sect eh? Especially as Judaism, Islam and Christianity all flow from the same beginnings.

There were loads of protests throughout Europe when Russia first invaded. Since then our government has shown complete support to Ukraine, sent millions in aid, trained their troops, sent tanks, Stormshadow missiles and all sorts of military kit, plus imposed massive sanctions. Going on a protest march is a pretty futile act anyway, when the above doesn’t stop Putin it’s pretty obvious marching though London won’t achieve anything.
