Then they came for the British aid workers, I found it deeply concerning and tragic but am waiting to hear from the IDF so that I can blame Hamas.

Diadora Van Basten Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 The IDF have accepted responsibility and offered apologies to their allies for this tragic incident.

trotter Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 I don't pretend to know the ins and outs of the situation, but it does appear that Israel is rapidly losing a PR war here. Whilst that doesn't take away anything from the carnage going on, if they carry on like this, they are going to find themselves as international pariahs. How long will the people of their allies put up with this and turn on their respective governments to 'cut them loose' for want of a better term.

In his Easter sermon the Archbishop of Canterbury called out Russia for invading Ukraine, Hamas for taking hostages but did not call out Israel for killing Palestinians instead mentioning “the starving children of Gaza” without saying who is starving them or that 13,000 Palestinian children have suffered violent deaths as Israel dropped bombs on them.

What have the many rich Arab and Islamic counties in the region done for Gaza in the current conflict or indeed before it? Nothing because they are terrified that Iranian sponsored terrorism will spread to their countries as it has on the West Bank. Yemen, Lebanon and Syria. Yup, it’s a bit telling that Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, UAE all recruit migrant workers from India and the Philippines rather than the Palestinians on their doorstep.

They might have trouble getting to these countries, there is no airport or port in Gaza or the West Bank (Israel would bomb them) and Palestinians need a permit from Israel to go through land crossings. There is an interview with an American Palestinian Christian on Owen Jones YouTube channel and he talks about the problems he had when he returns from the US to the West Bank but Israel won’t let him in as his permit says Gaza even though he has lived in the West Bank for years.

By The Light.. Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 (edited) The Israeli Defence Force (IDF) is a trigger happy nazi like organisation. Watch Al Jazeera channel 622 on Virgin Media (the only media left in Gaza). Yesterday the World Central Kitchen aid workers were targeted with at least two airstrikes as the group was travelling in two armoured vehicles branded with the World Central Kitchen (WCK) charity’s logo. They had shared their plans and locations with the IDF for safe passage. However before that I saw 4 young men walking unarmed through bombed out wasteland, the IDF treats this as kill zones and dropped a bomb on them. Also two unarmed men walking on a beach separately, one waving a white rag, he was shot by a sniper and his body bulldozed into the ground on TV. This will only end when the US stops arming Israel probably only after they nuke Iran, Lebanon and Syria though. Edited April 2 by By The Light..

Even though WCK had provided all their details in advance to get safe passage. The IDF have a shoot to kill policy on anything that moves, at war with the entire Palestine population. Removing WCK and all the food helps the starvation policy. Along with removing hospitals to speed up the genocide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SectionDJambo Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 For a nation with such a feared, and internationally thought of as efficient, intelligence service, the Israeli armed forces don't half make a lot of mistakes. They also didn't detect an armed force of murderous terrorists advancing on their border on 7th October, despite warnings from their own observers on the border and other intelligence agencies. They managed to successfully identify targets in a building in Damascus, though, and deal with them without any mistakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s much easier to bomb a family’s home. The system is built to look for them in these situations.” The sources added that, in the event that the target was a senior Hamas official with the rank of battalion or brigade commander, the army on several occasions authorized the killing of more than 100 civilians in the assassination of a single commander.
