Jeff the Chef

As you have dodged my questions, try reading my post again, please. No I have no extended family in either Gaza or Israel, but I still have every sympathy for any of the people killed or tortured by either side.

Please read this from The Times of Israel. https://www.timesofisrael.com/unable-to-return-to-gaza-hundreds-of-laborers-detained-by-idf-in-the-west-bank/

You got the link you asked for. Now you are accusing me of supporting a diabolical terrorist organisation "Hamas" and I P you off, bumps needing feeling imho, are you on medication? A quote from you "What would you be saying if it were your extended family were butchered in Gaza by your chums.......? I take it from this quote you have friends in Gaza being killed by Israeli bombs and artillery shells? I would class all people in Gaza as a friend as long as they have no connection with Hamas, the same would apply to any Israeli's who are not advocating the wholesale slaughter of Palestinians by the Israeli military.

I'm sorry I can't agree with that, but given time....

How very dare you, all those lovely Israeli remote control automatic machine gun posts, and let's not forget no-one gets in or out without going through an Israeli checkpoint, and if your unarmed and looking a bit lost you can expect a nice Israeli bullet in your head.

Now that's funny

Oh well, won't hurt anybody reading it again then will it?

Latest UN Press release from the 24th Nov 2023 https://press.un.org/en/2023/gashc4390.doc.htm#:~:text=In response%2C Israeli occupation forces,and killing around 5%2C000 people.

Very good post, to which I gave a thumbs-up, not wanting to be associated with the sad one.

So you do not agree with the above statement or because I wrote that it makes me an antisemite?

Not a problem, I will be the first to admit I am an anti-Zionist, nothing to do with antisemitism, except perhaps in your world, not in mine.

Hopefully a few more sensible heads will realise if that comes about WW3 could be round the corner, not a thing anyone is looking forward to, I think. That and the fact I have trouble bending over far enough to kiss my r's goodbye, nowadays.

Whilst I can agree with the majority of your post, I do feel saying Palestinian forces needs to be corrected to Hamas forces, to be fair to Palestinians who do not support Hamas the perpetuators of this conflict.

The last place that they'll send tanks into imho, the odd APC to flush out the opposition, then it will be call up the Airforce to clear them out, less casualties on the Israeli side but it will be expensive, maybe that's Hamas's strategy, bleed them dry financially.

Nail hit extremely accurately on the head, couldn't agree more. Follow the money, every time.

Don't mention the war, said Basil 🙂

You blame the Jews if you want, I'll just blame the whole of Humanity, as an individual I don't want to kill anyone, period, now if everybody thought like that would we have a peaceful world, now that could be a discussion to have.

For 75 years the Israeli's have been chipping away at non-Jewish people to increase their lands/settlements either through wars or revenge attacks after Arab attacks, I cannot see this ever changing sadly. I'm beginning to think the west should just walk away and let this play out, let there be a bloodbath of Palestinians, let the Israeli's have whatever land they can secure. Then the Arabs will undoubtedly attack Israel and there may be an end game in sight after millions of deaths and casualties. Never going to happen because of all the US support for Israel and the amount of Jewish influence around the globe, there is a huge amount of Jewish money supporting mainstream media and governments which influences public opinion in there favour. Lets be honest this is also about the oil/gas resources in the region and the US "Military Industrial Economy" all that lovely profit selling arms to everyman and his dog. Then there is the Nuclear problem, would Israel dare to use it , has Iran got the capability of delivering a nuclear device and if either side did the M.E. would be a nuclear dessert with all that would entail. Looking forward to reading the comments after I post this, everybody have a great day.

Whatever, not my problem and thanks for all the fish.

No idea, to busy living it 🤣 If all else fails I'm happy with 42 as well as numerous others.

Just seen this, get well soon, great you got treated so well.

Let me assure you when I went to Chefs College back in the 1960's if you called the chef a cook whatever he had in his hand would be flying over the kitchen in your direction, I will agree with you that nowadays with the more popular female to male leveling up as in political correctness that is now not so much the case but nevertheless back in the day before female emancipation or whatever you want to call it that was not the case. As for the rest of my posts you wouldn't agree with anything I said but then that is not my problem.

Please reread your replies, the first one makes no-sense as I said and this is a fact, the male of the species are Chefs and the female of the species are Cooks, always have been always will be, English grammar can be difficult for some. Your next quote: "No, it's the same as your claim that hamas killing babies and raping women is the same as collateral damage from bombings." I think we all agree the Hamas atrocities from the 7th are nothing more than War Crimes/Crimes against Humanity. 1400 lives and however many hostages taken and not accounted for I include in the above statement ref: War Crimes/Crimes against Humanity. What you're having a problem with is that I feel the same about the Israeli bombing/shelling of the Gaza strip where I feel they have a legitimate right to go after Hamas but not at the expense of the general population of Palestine which do not all support Hamas. Your last quote: "What if three people died of choking on bones you left in the fish, and you only beat one to death with a meat-mallet, does that make it clearer for you? is killing three people not worse than killing one?" If 3 people die from choking on bones in fish I cooked what has that to do with the Chef/Cook who cooked said fish? Then as you say, if I then beat one to death with a meat-mallet that only makes me guilty of murder and has nothing to do with the fish preparation or the fact that as you said 3 people died on the bones through choking. I hope that makes it clearer for you.

Really, your taking one sentence of a post and ignoring the rest of said post, how very magnanimous of you.
