You explained nothing as usual. So no debate from you as expected, bye bye Bkk Brian

Israel claims it is no longer occupying the Gaza Strip. What does international law say? https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/menasource/gaza-israel-occupied-international-law/

So as you say "It's none of my business" and I will say to you, what? This is a debate about the current crisis, is it not? Yes I check all sources not only Israeli or Hamas, and Googling is not your friend it is whatever they want you to know, whether it is right or wrong they are only wanting to you follow their paymasters. As for being on Topic, are you for real?

If you reread my post I did say and quote "I agree with you on that, Hamas are the terrorists because of Oct 7th and a lot of things that had gone on before" As far as to what you are thinking about Israeli Media sources I have no idea what is going through your mind, you could try giving out some examples of where you have checked other sources.

I agree with you on that, Hamas are the terrorists because of Oct 7th and a lot of things that had gone on before but you are more than happy to believe whatever comes out of the Israeli's press without acknowledging any reason why Hamas have taken this course of action through Israel's action against the people of Gaza/Palestine which has gone on for years by the Israeli's.

Going back to 1942 might be fine if it was to do with the Nazi Holocaust during WW2 but this is 2023, 81 years after those events, which nobody is denying was a blight on the Human race of that time. What I find strange is your total disregard of all the mainstream media in the wests total support of Israel without acknowledging that the opposition also has a right to report on any atrocities from your side, without you calling it out as antisemitic propaganda, as in all conflicts there are 2 sides to every story.

But on the other hand Bkk Brian, you're more than happy to except any info from Israeli forces, IDF etc etc which is only looking at it from your point of view. This is a war zone, any press reporters look like fair game for Israeli forces, there are reports of snipers targeting and also bombing of the press in Gaza. https://cpj.org/2023/11/journalist-casualties-in-the-israel-gaza-conflict/ https://reliefweb.int/report/occupied-palestinian-territory/rsf-files-complaint-icc-war-crimes-against-journalists-palestine-and-israel

I have minions to do my Sunday lunches, Thorgal isn't one of them as far as I know. So you can't answer the question, how unusual.

Can you prove that Hell has gates?

Don't see anyone apologising for Hamas on here, only Zionists defending the undefendable in Gaza.

It's called GENOCIDE

The Zionists haven't woken up yet on here, they'll be along shortly to defend Israel to the hilt.

Truth is Israel cocked up their security around Gaza, not knowing that Hamas were going to attack them as they did on the 7th is a huge security flaw by a Government elected to protect it's people. Before anyone starts, yes I think what Hamas did on the 7th was a disgusting atrocity which is abhorrent to normal thinking people. On the other hand Israel could and should have treated the whole of the displaced Arabs, Palestinian or otherwise a lot better than they have since 1948, turning the Gaza Strip into a virtual prison and controlling all the in's and outs of daily life was never going to end well, also the abuse in the West Bank is only making matters worse. World opinion is changing towards Israel and the Holocaust card is getting a bit faded with many people, me included, the more I see and hear about what is going on now is Israel is doing that, yes what the Nazi's did was an abomination on any group/religion but that is not in the minds of many people now as it was 78 years ago the 2nd WW ended, you can blame a lot of that on education imho.

The opposite of Anti-Semitic?

Read this and gave it a miss, Daniel Greenfield is an Israeli-born journalist who writes for conservative publications.

United Nations Human Rights New York Office Director Craig Mokhiber RESIGNS in protest of UN's handling of Israel-Hamas war, calling attacks on Gaza 'a text-book case of genocide' https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12694209/United-Nations-Craig-Mokhiber-RESIGNS-Israel-Hamas-war-Gaza-genocide.html

neither are you and the above proves it.

BarraMarra asks a question, gets an answer and plays the old deflection card, very grown up.

I ain't selling it, not my religion.

What, Hamas and the Israeli hostages?

Maybe needs a rethink there BarraMarra

Corn in Egypt 🙂

Exactly the answer I expected from you, I hope you're very proud.

A few references to "Israeli Lawn Mowing" https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/mow-lawn-israel’s-strategy-perpetual-war-palestinians-185775 https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20230515-netanyahu-enjoys-boost-in-poll-after-deadly-mowing-the-lawn-in-gaza/ https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/how-brutal-hamas-attack-shifts-israel-from-managing-to-destroying-it-4477074 https://www.masarat.ps/article/446/Israel-mows-the-lawn

Probably about right and in a few years time a rinse and repeat, can't see it ever ending. Such a shame but that's religion for you, sigh.
