Israel is at War - General discussion (pt3)
The article I posted initially about the IDF seemed pretty accurate to me. Regarding the alleged antisemitism of EuroMed, I will look into it tomorrow and get back to you. Now I really need to go.

"Derogatory" is excessive, you are interpreting based on your knowledge of my views on this issue, which is normal. You and I could debate this all night, but that is not what I am looking for, I am content to post the occasional source which readers might find interesting.

Anything can be debated and "defended" for prolonged periods, provided one has the time to devote to it (which I don't, to be honest). So no, not deflecting, just cutting short because I have to go do other stuff. I believe my views are clear (as are yours). People can read the material I refer to, as they can yours.

I have already explained in this thread how, IMO, the notion of antisemitism is used politically in this context. You and I disagree on the core issue and I have no interest in debating it with you now when all my points have been clearly expressed and sourced across the 70+ pages of this thread.

I will not be dragged into a bickering session.

You know what my views on current events in Gaza are. As I said, those reading can read my post, then Brian's, and decide for themselves what they believe is the truth.

This quote is from UN Watch. From their website's "Our work" page: UN Watch is a non-profit organization dedicated to holding the United Nations accountable to its founding principles. Through its regular monitoring, UN Watch is a key resource for information and analysis about the UN. UN Watch is a leading voice combating antisemitism and anti-Israel bias at the UN engaging in advocacy at the highest levels of government and countering misinformation in the media. https://unwatch.org/about-us/our-work/ I have posted my source (United Nations website), you haver posted yours. Those reading this thread can reach their informed conclusions.

Yes, I know Falk and his problems started in the early 2010s when he started reporting on what was going on in the West Bank and Gaza. Ban-Ki-Moon was subjected to heavy political pressure at the time, but since he left the UN, he has de facto been on Falk's side and repeatedly accused Israel of practising Apartheid.

Yes of course, the UN is a conspiracy theory group. This (tragic) farce gets more absurd each passing day.

Ah yes, I forgot the United Nations and Euro-Med (an independent Human Rights advocacy group based in Geneva) are now antisemitic. Another redefinition of note.

Can't beat the Israelis in terms of redefinitions. Calling its army "the most moral army in the world", for instance, is an interesting one. From the UN's Relief Web: Horrific testimonies: Israeli army tortures Palestinians in Gaza physically and psychologically As Israel continues its genocide in the Gaza Strip, ongoing since 7 October 2023, Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor has documented the Israeli army's sadistic abuse and torture of Palestinians there. This includes purposefully causing severe physical and psychological harm, which will undoubtedly have long-term effects, after storming their homes and shelter centres or attacking them on forced evacuation routes and so-called "safe corridors". https://reliefweb.int/report/occupied-palestinian-territory/horrific-testimonies-israeli-army-tortures-palestinians-gaza-physically-and-psychologically-enar#:~:text=Euro-Med Monitor confirmed that,%2C displacement centres%2C and neighbourhoods.

I am used to debating sophists and you are not very good.

You are one of those who have outed themselves for what they are, Mr "to teach them a lesson".

I am not here to "win" against Nick Carter icp (whose agenda is crystal clear) but to give insightful information to the few intelligent people on this thread.

Fully backed up and easy to check.

Agree. They can definitely see it though, and they support it.

I can't go any further as it would be deemed off-topic. People need to research it themselves.
-
Israel is at War - General discussion (pt3)
And wipe out the Palestinians for good measure! Killing two birds with one stone, eh? Nobody is fooled, the agenda is crystal clear.
-

None directly associated for the purpose of this thread, which is why I will not go any further (again, those reading this, research the Israeli political apparatus and its religious/messianic component, very enlightening).

Israel should stop bolstering terror groups to advance its Greater Israel pawns.

Yes he does and I encourage those reading this to research it and reach their own conclusions.

For the last time: I did not say that Israel would not agree to a deal, I said that Bibi had claimed he would not be respecting said deal by attacking Rafah no matter what. You overinterpreted what I said, it happens, no worries, let's move on.

Regardless of interpretations, he is a political leader who projects himself – and bases his policies – on messianic Biblical prophecies, the Torah and advice from rabbis. Now I will get back on topic.

Refuse vs. not respect. You are smart, you understand the nuance.

Israel is at War - General discussion (pt3)
It's what I call a political leader who references the Isaiah prophecy and the Biblical story of Amalek, in which God tells King Saul to annihilate the enemies of Israel, including children, babies, animals, men, women.
