Holmes_and_Watson Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 I popped the Village Idiot Society's Village Idiot of the Decade on ignore for the day yesterday. Going by the responses, I've missed another day of jaw dropping whataboutery, deflection and ignorance. When I saw hostages were freed, I remembered Soggy telling us that they were much safer with Hamas. I guess they and their families are giving the IDF a real telling off. Terrible to see the casualties. Sadly Soggy's master plan for conflict resolution doesn't translate into the real world. If only it were that simple, like he is. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horrific. There was also a demo in Tel Aviv today, “send them back” is the chant.

As pleasing as it was to see 4 hostages freed, almost 300 Palestinians and 3 Israeli hostages killed, and 700 + Palestinians injured, in the process somewhat dilutes the celebration.

Still, the Israeli government can do no wrong, eh Duckie? 🤦🏼♂️ If only these allegations hadn't already been raised and discussed earlier on the thread. There is a reason that the term 'Military Intelligence' is viewed as a classic example of a contradiction in terms. Given that Gaza was, other than the Korean DMZ, the most heavily surveilled piece of land on Earth, it would have been almost impossible for the IDF monitoring staff not to notice. As was noted in the earlier discussion, many of the troops carrying out the intelligence gathering were female conscripts, and they were overlooked as much due to mysogeny as incompetence by their superiors. Ultimately the IDF simply did not believe that HAMAS was capable of launching an attack on that scale. Edited June 20 by badgerx16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is "establish[ing] facts on the ground in order to make Judea and Samaria [an Israeli term for the occupied West Bank] an integral part of the state of Israel”, and “We will establish sovereignty … first on the ground and then through legislation. I intend to legalise the young settlements [illegal outposts],” Smotrich said in comments reported by Haaretz. “My life’s mission is to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state.” And several on here insist that this mess is down to just the Palestinians. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
