webfact Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 A picture taken on May 18, 2021 shows rockets being fired by Palestinian militants towards Israel near Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip, on May 18, 2021. – The UN Security Council was to hold an emergency meeting amid a diplomatic push to end the devastating conflict between Israel and Gaza’s armed groups that has killed more than 220 people, most of them Palestinians. (Photo by SAID KHATIB / AFP) Spokesperson for Thailand’s Foreign Affair Ministry, Tanee Sangrat, has confirmed the deaths of two Thai workers in Eshkol city in Israel earlier today. Eshkol is 14 kilometres from the Gaza Strip. Tanee said that Israeli officials notified the Thai embassy in Tel-Aviv about the attack by Hamas earlier today, resulting in 2 deaths and 8 people being injured. The incident happened while the victims were working in the packing department on the Ohad Agricultural estate.

Danderman123 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 My opinion is that the wealthy Arab nations should shovel cash into Gaza and Palestine to make people there wealthy, in such a way that the money gets to regular people, and isn't used for purchase of advanced weapons. If people in Gaza had two or three cars and a nice house, they might not be willing to go kamikaze. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Israel blocked the muslims from celebrating something at the second or 3rd most holy mosque for muslims during the most holy day during ramadan or something like that, and Israel has again announced the eviction of Palestines in a muslim region, not sure if this is the same place. Hamas on the other hand is a terrorist group, funded and partly controlled by Iran, an enemy of Israel, and is behind thousands of attacks, including many unprovoked attacks, as well as using the the most vulnerable people of its own citizens as human shield. So yes, there's two sides to the story. The Israeli government, Hamas and Islamic Jihad are all aggressors, none of them are innocent, none of them should you support, unless you're a religious extremist, or just misinformed. You don't have to pick a side. It's ok to say they both are in the wrong, they both are going too far, unnecessary lives are lost... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Poet Posted May 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 19, 2021 I really hate this "They are each as bad as the other" narrative. Nothing justifies firing 1,750 M302 missiles at cities, farming communities, and other civilian targets, full of innocent Jews, Arabs, Christians and, so tragically, these two Thais. This is an act of pure evil, long-planned and driven by internal Palestinian political considerations. It has nothing to do with the Temple Mount or a handful of justified evictions ordered by a civil court, not the nation of Israel. The ability of the Israelis to destroy most - but not all! - of these missiles is irrelevant. This is a crime against humanity. Supposed liberals in the West who try to gloss over the enormity of what the unelected Hamas dictatorship are doing are, themselves, complicit in this evil. 7 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post NancyL Posted May 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 19, 2021 The Times of Israel reports more detail, including that the two Thai workers were in a building without proper fortifications, which are required by law in Israel for buildings so close to the Gaza border. Nor did the workers have proper access to a bomb shelter, although a village spokesperson claimed they had access to a portable bomb shelter, but it's not known why they didn't use it when they heard the siren. Maybe lack of training. It's under investigation, the spokesperson claimed. This should be a wake-up call for all Thai people considering relocation to Israel for employment. There's a reason that Israeli people don't want to do these jobs. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not being Muslims. And, of course in Israel, not Gaza. Palestinian Arabs used to do this work but travel from Gaza/West Bank to Israel difficult for Arabs due to border checkpoints causing delays or often closed. Just adds to the problems as poverty and unemployment among Palestinians increases. When you have nothing, Jihad becomes more attractive. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was 30 years in which to prepare for an equitable partition to ensure the existing inhabitants didn't lose out. In view of human nature being what it is 'Give them an inch and they'll take a mile', borders should have been drawn up and strictly maintained. International intervention could have prevented 'annexation' (stealing the existing inhabitant's land thus displacing them). At this time the only way forward must be for Israel to vacate their illegal setlements in The West Bank and reinstate the Palestinian homes they destroyed. Gaza strip fencing to be removed allowing Gaza residents to return to their original homes on land stolen by Israel. Israel to open land, sea and air space to allow free access by Palestinians. Also rebuild Yasser Arafat International Airport which they destroyed. All buildings destroyed in Gaza strip to be rebuilt by Israel too. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it all came crashing down once weakness and incompetence prevailed where there had previously been strength and determination. Well warned it would happen, and it did.

They offered the Arabs 80% of the land for their own country, they of course turned it down as the other 20% had been offered to Jews coming in from Europe. The so called Palestinians have never been interested in a 2 state solution, only one- their own. Firing two thousand rockets into Israel who can intercept most of them has only ended in yet another catastrophe for terrorist Hamas, whose constitution still has the destruction of Israel in it. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one's justifying anything, nor are people saying they're equally as terrible. There's two immoral governments, one is less evil than the other, but none of them are good. There's a reason why Europe have had a sour relationship with Israel since the Israeli Mossad terrorism attacks in Europe. They haven't changed a bit, often takes part on the opposite side of the table, constantly talks <deleted> about western Europe and gives support to extremist leaders, like the Hungarian Victor Orban and other opponents just to stir up conflict. Despite this, Israel still receive support from Europe, since Hamas is the worst of the two evils. You saying it's the Israeli court's decision to evict these Palestinians is just you being ignorant. It has clearly been on the Israeli government's agenda for decades to expand territory and remove the Palestinians, who have lived there for over a thousand years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely one is fighting for their perceived country and the other is fighting to retain what they were given by someone else who didn't consult the first party.
