It's evidence of indiscriminate Israeli carpet bombing of civilians.

 

An unattributed photo is not an evidence.

Picture of a dead person is not an evidence of 'carpet bombing'.

Carpet bombing does not mean any bombing.

As far as I am concerned, all bombing of residential areas is carpet bombing.

 

Once again we witness you making spurious claims, including showing an astonishing lack of knowledge as to what carpet bombing is.

 

You probably lack the self awareness to realise that this is why nobody on this forum takes anything you say seriously.

This report shows that 180 000 people marched in London in 2021 to show support for Palestinians and the latest march in London 2023  , post Hamas terror attack on Israel, just 100 000 people attended the march  , which suggests that Palestinian support is on the decline after the terror attacks

Each venue got 'house rules', some posters have issues expressing themselves while adhering to them. That's how things are pretty much anywhere.

 

You can try and paint it as 'both sides' etc., but here (and elsewhere on social media) the main body of misinformation, hyperbole, conspiracy theories, bad language, fake news and so on firmly rests with the so-called 'pro-Palestinian side. Same thing on these forums. Don't see you reproach or criticize many 'pro-Palestinian' posters, though.

 

If you wish to excuse or justify the 7/10 attack by listing past woes, that's your choice. It's a bold one, considering even the UN chief didn't quite go there. It also makes your moral stand questionable, IMO. There is a right to resist oppression, it does not include carrying out the atrocities perpetrated by Hamas on 7/10.

I don’t know whether the posters you refer to are pro-Palestinian.  To be honest, I don’t read the posts, I find them one-sided, repetitive and argumentative.  Generally I do read yours though.

 

Regarding 7/10, and justifying or excusing, past deeds. I did neither, I simply said it helps understanding why what has happened has happened. I don’t excuse or justify it.  I’m sure if the past was not as it was, we wouldn’t be in the situation of terrorists massacring Israelis and Israelis going in to find them with enormous collateral damage.

Douglas Murray is a well respected intellectual, and this particular book has received worldwide acclaim and excellent reviews; one small example is an unusually high score of 4.7 out of 5 on Amazon, from over 6,000 customer reviews.

 

I haven’t looked at the review you posted, because unlike yourself I have read the book and formed my own opinion; I assume this is a bad review, so you must have deliberately searched for a bad review of the book, rather than an objective one.

 

This is no surprise and it neatly summarises the process that you use when responding; contradiction, cheap cliches, derision, sensationalism, and loaded questions are your tools of choice rather than an intellectual engagement, and you wonder why nobody on this forum takes you seriously.   

 

 

To each their own:

 

Murray has also been accused of being xenophobic, chauvinist and racist. His fans have described him as a defender of free speech. Murray has been accused of putting a socially acceptable face on what would otherwise be considered fringe ideologies.

 

This sort of stuff is not for me:

 

Douglas Murray’s objectively racist, extremely Islamophobic assertions are a matter of public record. He has said: “conditions for Muslims in Europe must be made harder across the board”, called Islam an “opportunist infection”, Muslims a “demographic time bomb” & that mosques should be “pulled down,” as documented in his notorious ‘What are we to do about Islam?’ speech. 

So profound is Murray’s Islamophobia that a former colleague of his has described him as a “thoroughly nasty piece of work full of venom and hatred for Muslims”, as someone who has a “perverse & deranged obsession with all things Islam related.”

 

I wonder if one were to substitute Jew for Muslim in Murray's works if you would still find the man agreeable.

You've posted several comments in the same spirit - all directed at posters generally supporting one side. Just saying.

 

Going on about 'what if' is a two-way street as well. Highlighting one sides' sins is not very conductive to understanding the present.

Unattributed quotes, typical.

 

Notice one thing they always have in common is that they (like you) do not provide examples that support their claims.

It's all in the timing.

 

The British took Australia, deviously labelling it Terra Nullus, back in 1788.

 

Had Israel had their <deleted> together and taken the land back in the days when such things were practised by any nation capable of conquering another, there would be no issue today.

 

Times have changed.

 

The US used to sail to Africa and collect shiploads of slaves and bring them back to work in the fields. This doesn't happen any more because civilisation has evolved beyond such inhumanity.

 

It is as simple as Israel simply showed up far too late to play the colonisation game.

 

Also, if we are being honest, we'll acknowledge that Israel has taken (stolen) far more land than the UN offered.

 

   You took your land in 1778 , Israel got their land back in 1948 

In which year did the  rules change ?

Did you lot steal the land and then after that decided to change the rules ?

We see them now. We understand their atavistic urge. Whatever we call it, we who think about it know what it is.

Kill all the terrorists but keep the tunnels could be a great underground rail system for when the peace happens. Would be good for all the Israeli tourists who fancy a trip to the Gaza coast for sunbathing on the Med.

How do you see this:

 

Opposition to Islam does not mean hatred toward Muslims.

 

But not this:

 

Opposition to Israel does not mean antisemitism.
