And it’s hard to fathom someone thinking Rabin was some sort of soft character. He was directly involved in town clearances in 1948 and a major figure in the creation of Israel. But the newer generation have been brought up not understanding what the country was until then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wiki article on the assassination is excellent - the worrying thing is that there is a religious law called din rodef which could be potentially utilised by any nutter to justify killing anyone who seeks compromise...Bascially it is dangerous to life to disagree with the fundamentalists and zealots.

The butchering of innocents by Hamas wasn't indiscriminate, it was very discriminate - they targetted civilians. I doubt that the IDF intentionally set out to kill civilians but their indiscriminate bombing of "Hamas-related" sites in Gaza has the same effect in the number of civilians killed. In the end, it doesn't matter if you butcher someone at close quarters or you guide a bomb onto their house. The result is the same, namely terror, grief and a prolonging of the conflict.

It is like the hydra though - chop off one head and 2 more will appear. Look how long it took the USA to get Bin Laden and their resources were enormous. These terrorists are in a slum of 2.5m people, and they have human shields to boot...Not that it looks like the Israeli Govt is going to worry about them this time...The leaderships of both the Palestinians and the Israelis cannot be viewed by the neutral as "good people" but for their own supporters they are simply "strong leaders" - same as Putin in Russia...In war, strong trumps good.

Two of the great strengths of the human race, one to live and work in community, and the other to fight and struggle to better ourselves, have got us where we are, but at some point, as a race, for our own preservation we have to cut out the fighting bit and work together to ensure that everyone's basic needs and rights are taken care of, that we all have a say in our lives, and that we use our resources wisely for the benefit not only of humankind but of the whole planet. You would have thought that the two massive wars the world has lived through would have been a wake-up call for us to make that transition, and there were indeed signs that we we were heading in that direction with the League of Nations, the UN, the development of human rights legislation, the rise in democracy, the creation of protected natural areas, and the development of renewable energy, among others. But all this while, greed and power have continued to result in poverty, inequity, suffering, and war. We just don't seem as a race to be able to get it together, and the Israel-Palestine conflict is almost the litmus test of how far we are progressing. I know, I sound like a big hippy, but it just gars me greet that we have had the opportunity and the technology to actually get the job done and move onto the next stage of civilisation, and we haven't achieved it yet. There are still too many people in charge who are invested in power, money and ideology, and until we can find a way of overcoming this stumbling block, we will be destined to continue repeating the same scenarios over and over again.

Ministryofdad Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Twitter or x is a propaganda machine for both sides. I've seen one report by Nicole zedeck saying Israeli solders have been into houses in Kfar Aza where the have seen up to 40 babies beheaded in their beds and cots. On the other hand I've seen the video death retaliation by Israel in the firing rockets and bombs into gaza where there is actual video evidence of babies being mutilated from said shelling. One where there was a charred limbless baby with half it's face ripped open on twitter. Another video of young children bloodied, confused and basically donald ducked being carried into hospital. There are no words to describe what I've seen on twitter over the past 20+ hours. There is a news report from someone who was at the festival, survived only due to a lot of bodies taking the bullets from a hamas terrorist just randomly opening fire and killing everyone. He said a grenade was tossed. It hit him on the head and bounced away. Other reports from people in hospital who were there saying hamas just opening fire at the festival goers trying to flee in terror. Clearly unconfirmed reports of rape. Then we have the footage of the German lass Shani Louk. Who was kidnaped, alledged killed and lifeless body paraded, spat on by hamas. Now hearing reports she is alive in a gaza hospital. Who knows what to believe anymore. What I do know is the killing needs to stop and a ceasefire even temporary in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFK-1 Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 I think this might be the end of Hamas. A man like Netanyahu isn't going to make threats of actions he says will reverberate down the generations then do nothing notable. Just like the US following 9/11 Israel has a wave of international support behind them right now, even those Israelis who would typically be hesitant to go into Gaza are all on board. They're probably going to go through like a sieve. I'm also now thinking Hezbollah will stay out of it aside from those few missiles. Because they too know that this time Israel means business.

That thing you do Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 (edited) In this video is one of strangest comments on this whole horrific situation. In agreeing Israel can defend itself the commentator says "If Toronto bombed Detroit the US would bomb Mexico and be perfectly within its rights to do so". I had to listen to this 5 times to check and is actually what he said. Sadly, its probably the truth. Get Tony Blair to sign off a weapons dossier and off they go to bomb Guadalajara.

I'm not introducing that fact to detract from their claims in any way, but the actual fact is it's not a country and never has been. It wasn't a country before Israel was created so therefore Israel cannot have replaced any other country. And that's an important point to Israelis since saying they supplanted another county makes it sound like they marched in from nowhere in an invasion. They didn't, it was created by UN mandate. And that's exactly the way those trying to wipe them out depict it, an invasion of a country that never was. That's my point in mentioning it.

What they're trying to do is stop this terrorist outfit pledged to kill all Jews from killing their people. Anything else is pointless to them.

Diadora Van Basten Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 (edited) Just watched Grant Shapps and Joe Biden on breakfast TV. Shapps said it’s very important that Hamas are referred to as terrorists. Israel has a right to defend itself agrees with Israel that people are monsters. There is no justification for the attack. Basically given Israel Carte Blanche to kill civilians in Gaza which they will do with glee. A few pics of bombed out buildings in Gaza and that a mention that unfortunately food and electricity will run out soon. Grant Shapps certainly doesn’t speak for me and I thought he came across as a weasel and Palestinian lives matter just as much as Israeli lives. But to UK and US government that just isn’t the case.

Many thanks for taking the time to mansplain the difference between discriminate and indiscriminate for me. I'm delighted that the Israelis have managed to perfect bomb technology to the point where their 1000kg aircraft dropped 'dumb' munitions are definitely not killing anything other than terrorists in the 1km blast radius. That's a huge leap in technology and one they've managed to keep to themselves for 50 years. Defending your country and its people is definitely the right of any government of its people. Launcing wave after wave of airstrikes targeting anything standing above 3 stories is as barbaric as firing rockets over the border the other direction. Both are INDISCRIMINATE. Israel is most definitely not targetting the terrorsits only, nor are they trying to avoid civilian casualties (collaterol damage if you're a soul-less headcase). Unless of course Hamas are launching rockets from the 10th floor back bedroom of the tower blocks or indeed the vestry of the world's 3rd oldest church? Nah mate, it's blood-lust pure and simple. I'd have thought that as a man who is all over all things American you'd have been a bit more aware of how 'bombing them back to the stone age' has panned out for the USA over the last 50-60 years. The B52's had no impact on the outcome in Vietnam and more recently deploying stealth bombers and drones against groups of guys in the back of a Toyota Hi-Lux or on a C90 step-thru manage to achieve feck all as the Taliban are back doing Taliban things 20 years, thousands of US deaths and maimings later.

Peace is seldom found down the barrel of a gun or a 1000kg bomb. Firstly, and to assist you with winding in your neck, where did I say on any level there was a way to stop killing civilians? Even suggest it? Hint at it? Where? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've been on an super aggressive stance for the last 4 or 5 pages with anyone who doesn't share your view or thought process with regards to Israel. Perhaps you have skin in the game? I neither know nor particularly care. I've no interest in getting dragged into that shit hence the reason i stated unequivocally that the actions of the terrorists on Saturday were abhorrent. Now it's time for you to answer the question asked. Are Israel indiscriminately targetting Palestinian citizens with their bomb and rocket attacks or not?

AlphonseCapone Posted October 11, 2023 Author Share Posted October 11, 2023 1 hour ago, Diadora Van Basten said: Just watched Grant Shapps and Joe Biden on breakfast TV. Shapps said it’s very important that Hamas are referred to as terrorists. Israel has a right to defend itself agrees with Israel that people are monsters. There is no justification for the attack. Basically given Israel Carte Blanche to kill civilians in Gaza which they will do with glee. A few pics of bombed out buildings in Gaza and that a mention that unfortunately food and electricity will run out soon. Grant Shapps certainly doesn’t speak for me and I thought he came across as a weasel and Palestinian lives matter just as much as Israeli lives. But to UK and US government that just isn’t the case. I don't understand how some countries and politicians make this so difficult. Hamas are horrible, murdering terrorist scum, that's irrefutable and only the worst people would argue otherwise. Israel, like every other nation, has a right to defend itself. Again, only the worst sort of people would deny that. The issues then come from both those points in converging on the same issue, people not thinking of or caring about the ordinary Palestinians. Hamas are not all Palestinians and they're especially not the children and most vulnerable Palestinians who always suffer the worst so people could do with remembering the difference. And that comes to the other point, Israel's right to defend itself should not allow it to break international laws like blockade food, water and power to Gaza, nor do everything they can to avoid civilian casualties, though we all live in the real world and accept that will happen to some extent regardless. 21 minutes ago, JFK-1 said: Okay since it's clarity now are you telling me you had no idea my post was referring to intent not outcome?

Mate, you've been really aggressive with almost everyone you've engaged with. You're the only one that doesn't seem to be able to see it but have you asked yourself why so many folk are responding in the way they are to you? If you dropped the aggression and arrogance you'd have a good contribution to make to the thread. If you take my post in the way you have others and keep going how you're going then you won't get any reasonable responses back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at what you're saying, somebody responds to me like that after a perfectly civil post, I ask WTF is your problem and I have the issue? You being serious about that? Really? After having made a perfectly civil post and i'm the one who has a problem here? When I say WTF is your problem? I respond like that to people who present this attitude to me, but you think I shouldn't? Or something? Really? Because I may be more caustic than their unwarranted pissy attitude means i'm t6he problem? Really? Explain the logic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
