If you would be kind enough to point out exactly where I said that, I will be very happy to reply to you; if you cannot point out where I said that, then I suggest you take the matter up with whichever authority was responsible for your English reading tuition …. many thanks, have a good evening.

Why are you continually supporting some kind of, in fact, any kind of, benefit, for Hamas, as a reward for taking innocent civilians hostage over 4 months ago ? The hostage taking of innocent civilians, contravenes every single international law and treaty, of both wartime and peacetime; it contravenes every single moral and ethical dictum know to the civilised world …. yet you continually offer a perspective from the viewpoint of Hamas; one that deems that they should receive some kind of negotiated benefit from their illegal and barbaric acts. I can only conclude that you either need to recalibrate your moral compass, or that you support a terrorist organisation, despite your multiple, lame, perfunctory denials of so doing.

Unfortunately for you, and fortunately for the rest of the world, what you “think” is confined to your small, insular, pro Hamas kingdom of the blind.

Everything that you stand for, and your continuing concern for the success of Hamas, perfectly summarised ……. by yourself; many thanks

Anything to say about one of the last functioning Hamas military command centres in Gaza closing ? …… there, fixed it for you ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ah, good old Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus; the world’s number one Chinese lacky, who presented every CCP lie to the rest of the world as factual, throughout the entire Covid pandemic. The WHO, more discredited and corrupt than the UN, difficult though that might be to believe.

The irony of you, of all people, saying that, is quite breathtaking …. I might have to open a bottle of Montepulciano d’Abruzzo earlier than usual

Ha Ha Ha , where have you been for the last 30 years; Israel has never had the support of the UN. The UN are a corrupt, antisemitic dinosaur; along with their now completely discredited Hamas fan club affiliate, UNRWA. They are rendered utterly pointless by the veto power of Russia and China, and just when the world thought that they couldn’t lose any more credibility, they appointed Ali Bahreini, Ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran and Permanent Representative to the United Nations, to chair the 2023 United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) Social Forum. The UN, you’ll have to do a lot better than citing them.

This is the most disingenuous comment that you have made to date, and you’ve posted some crackers in the last few days, as you have been struggling to hide both your dishonesty, and your virulent hatred for Israel and Israelis. “But, no, IMO, Hamas fighters who might be hiding in hospitals are not committing war crimes unless they are guarding hostages or using the hospital as a base for their military operations” …….. what on earth do you think armed Hamas fighters are doing hiding in hospitals, if they are not using it as a base from which to attack IDF soldiers ? …….ICRC Rule 28. Medical units exclusively assigned to medical purposes must be respected and protected in all circumstances. They lose their protection if they are being used, outside their humanitarian function, to commit acts harmful to the enemy. “The IDF is committing a war crime when it attacks a hospital unless the hospital is being used as a base for its adversary or to rescue hostages” …. which is exactly what Hamas fighters are using the hospital for. Your antisemitism, hatred, and unwavering support for Hamas, is causing you to make a fool of yourself. An intelligent man reduced to continually distorting the truth because of his hatred …. very sad, but a stark reminder to us all of the power of hatred.

Accepting you at your word regarding your prior education, which I am happy to do, it merely serves to amplify and compound your antisemitic bias; because it means that you have deliberately, and wilfully, used the word genocide, incorrectly, for the kind of sensationalist effect that is usually reserved for student protesters, the gullible, and uniformed. You must know full well that although the human tragedy unfolding in Gaza is appalling, it is not Israel attempting to commit genocide; despite the logistical difficulties and the way in which it has compromised their operations, the IDF have given countless warnings and pleas for evacuation prior to attacks; warnings taken by Hamas fighters whilst telling the civilian population to remain, and at times physically preventing them from evacuating; so why would an educated man make such a false claim ? The only genocide in this tragic situation lurks within the founding charted of the government of Gaza; they state quite unequivocally in that charter, their aim to eradicate all jews, not just in Israel, but in the whole world. They were elected on this very manifesto … but you know that already, don’t you ? This is a war. Gaza declared war on Israel on 7th Oct 23. Their elected government of the last 18 years, invaded Israel and the heinous barbarity of that invasion, unparalleled in the history of mankind, is very well documented. Hundreds of Palestinian civilians from Gaza, according to Hamas, took part in the butchery of 7th October; you know, those ‘innocent’ Palestinians that now want to distance themselves from their own government. For the last 18 years the Palestinian population of Gaza has been supporting this government, while they continued to fire rockets indiscriminately at the civilian population of Israel; they cheered and partied in the streets of Gaza on Oct 7th and 8th, they abused dying and dead innocent Israeli civilian bodies as they were paraded through the streets of Gaza in a ‘victory’ celebration. It is unfortunately now, far, far, too late, for the people of Gaza to say “this government that we have supported for 18 years while they were promising to kill all jews, does not really represent us” ….. They need to tell Yahya Sinwar, and you need to stop using the word genocide in a dishonest way, a way that is not in keeping with your education.

You can voice as many of your myriad warped, biased, antisemitic opinions as you like; what you cannot do however, is change the meaning of words in the English language. Israel are 100% not attempting genocide in Gaza, and if you really don’t understand that, you have a good case to take legal action against whichever authority was responsible for your English language education; but keep up the personal insults, I thoroughly enjoy the exposure of your true colours.

Try putting the word ‘genocide’ into google, or any other search engine of your choice, to find out the meaning of the word, because you obviously have no idea whatsoever of its meaning; maybe then you will stop throwing it around like a mindless, shouty, student protester.

And who controls the local health agencies in Rafah .... have a guess, go on; if you get it wrong you can have a second go.

And where did the ever reliable CNN get those figures from ? ...... rhetorical Every single statistic you quote comes from Hamas, either directly, or indirectly, but you keep presenting them as facts; you are the most disingenuous poster on this thread, and that is against some stiff opposition

Have a 'butchers' at all that foreign aid money he had stashed; and enough room there to accommodate many families, rather than leaving them on the surface as his personal protection ..... what a stain on humanity

Really; then how come in all your hundreds of comments you have only ever quoted Hamas figures. It may have escaped your attention, but most pro Israel posters, like myself, never proclaim any figures from the IDF, or Israeli government. Conversely, you continue to be a propagandist for Hamas, by continually posting their claims of casualties; and it must be said, always in a shouty student, sensationalist tone, with repeated mention of women and children, but never, ever, a mention of Hamas terrorist casualties. Do you really think people on this forum do not see through your unedifying bias and support for terrorists …. rhetorical

Hamas .... with the help of several hundred of those 'innocent' Gaza civilians

Visited Chiang Rai once with my wife for a few days and we both thought it was really nice. However, that was in a December, so not sure about smoke pollution throughout the year .... any thoughts on that if you are there permanently .... thanks

This is where your complete lack of credibility is laid bare; there are no various sources with regard to Palestinian casualties in Gaza. All figures are from the Gaza Health Ministry, released only after approval from the Hamas leadership. It matters not a jot which news outlet the figures appear in, they will all share a common source, Hamas. So, saying CNN report figures from various sources is factually incorrect; because although these sources might well be the UN, Al Jazeera, the BBC, Sky, or the entirely discredited UNRWA, the figures will only have come from Hamas, and no other source. You are either naive and gullible enough not to realise this, or you have been continually posting figures that you know full well to be disingenuous at best, but much more likely to be completely falsified propaganda …….. not difficult for me to guess which ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hold on; you’ve asked me a question signified by a question mark, and then proceeded to answer it yourself. If you just talk to yourself, it’s no surprise that you make little sense; still at least you always get the answer you want, which must make you feel all warm and righteous.

Some evidence or verification of the numbers killed and that most killed were probably civilians please (and not from Hamas, Al Jazeera, or the Hamas puppet the UN) The antisemitism that pumps through your veins will not allow you to be happy for the 2 hostages that have been freed after 4 months in illegal captivity, and for the enormous relief and joy their families must be feeling ….. shameless, graceless man …. trigger whataboutery.

Indeed, and the rescue of these hostages explains exactly why Israel felt it had to go into Rafah. The BBC, true to their disgraceful bias, are running this development with the headline “Israel says two hostages rescued in Rafah as strikes reported” ….. but accompanying it with a stock photo of two injured (allegedly) Palestinian children.

News just breaking that the IDF have rescued 2 hostages from Rafah.

It will always be grim reading if you choose to read antisemites like Jeremy Bowen, Jon Donnison, and Lyse Doucet, from the institutional antisemitic BBC

Thanks for the confirmation that no cluster bombs were used; which is the only issue I was questioning you about
