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.

Have you got a legitimate source for that statement, hate it to be against any forum rules.

Are you admitting that Israel has been "Mowing the lawn" for years here?

Sure did, and we agree Hamas are a load of disgusting murdering, raping, baby killing terrorist. Where will this end?

See you next Tuesday, over.

Israeli politics is the same as politics all round the world, totally corrupt.

Your words, "All Israel wants is to live in peace without its neighbours trying to wipe them out!"

You have got to be having a laugh, "All Israel wants is to live in peace without its neighbours trying to wipe them out!" https://apnews.com/article/israel-hamas-war-live-updates-10-28-2023-3348f0544aa6d66b280c8cab1637a3db

we're talking about Gaza here, the West Bank is the other side of the same coin.

And pigs will start taking off and landing safely.

So treat anybody who is not Israeli as sub-humans, control their daily lives and then wonder why they get a little bit fed up and the likes of Hamas becomes a factor to worry about.

How about giving the Palestinians the same rights as Israeli's?

Just proving my point, thanks.
