There was only 5 to 10% of your 486 posts in the last 10 pages that I've checked.

 

Can you find "my Russian comrades" or your alter ego...?

That was actually the point you've raised that I'm biased with Russian influencers or connections...???

Go away troll with your off topic nonsense, you've already been caught out this morning with your links. Slink back to your Russian mates

OK, I will follow your good advice Mr. Neeranam.

The allegation of 'collective punishment' will be addressed by legal process - for the meantime I disagree with your argument. From various media reports hospitals in Gaza are unable to address the care of the injured and critically ill. If interested members can reference below yesterday a number of cancer patients have died due to insufficient fuel at a hospital; URL below...

 

https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/gazas-only-cancer-hospital-goes-out-service-health-officials-2023-11-01/

 

I suggest patient deaths will be increasing specifically due to the Israeli blockade. The Israeli government, IMO, are holding the general public in Gaza as hostages as an attempt to influence HAMAS decision makers. So far as I know the general public have zero power to change HAMAS decision making. As has been reported by media a number of Western governments have been counselling Israel their current stance could well backfire politically for ongoing Western support though I'm fairly certain that any negative outcomes for Israel will be limited.

 

There were such warning about imminent shutdown of hospitals since the first few days of the attack. How much of that actually happened? Same for the assessment about food and water running out.

 

There is fuel in the Gaza Strip. It is controlled by the local government, namely Hamas. Somehow there aren't many demands leveled at them to do something about it. There are at least three recordings released by the IDF (some posted on these topics) of Hamas men discussing issues regarding to fuel, some with medical staff/management.

 

If Gazans specifically, and Palestinians in general (also, by extension, Arab/Muslim states) are so concerned about the situation how come they do not air their complaints and grievances vs. Hamas? 

 

I suggest that Hamas holds the population hostage, and the population plays along with it.

 

Palestinians demonstrated they can resist, protest, carry out attacks and be outspoken when it comes to Israel. How come they are 'helpless' vs. Hamas?

 

 

The US is the key to peace. Why don't the US want peace, is it oil again?

Again, with the Pavlovian "nitpicking" response. Amnesty has repeatedly demonstrated its bone fides throughout the world when it comes to armed conflicts. As that article of theirs concerning Hamas shows. Short of a rant, could their condemnation have been any stronger? Or are you going to await some impendent official confirmation of those actions by Hamas as well?

But if you think such caution is warranted, I guess you're going to have to wait on a judgement of whose bomb landed on that hospital in Gaza. I personally think the evidence is overwhelming that it was some Palestinian force that is responsible. But maybe that's just me and my low standards speaking.

 

Not 'Pavlovian'. It's what you do on many topics and it's the way you 'debate'. Nothing new.

 

You can go on about Amnesty being pure as snow, and all that. We've been over such things in the past, not seeing the need to rehash it to address one of your trolling/derailing attempts.

 

 

I'm not suggesting that all comments on war crimes are unfounded, or that all are equally suspect.

 

You keep trying to put words in my mouth, and that's understandable, seeing as you haven't got much to go on, but still need to put in a word.

I get tagged as Hamas supporter it seems, but just seeing both sides. Both 3  sides have their arguments. It does seem though when an Israeli child dies v a Palestinian child media and groups and countries acts differently. Israelis are on a high platform pissing on Palestinians while Hamas and others look for reason to condemn Israel.

I dismiss all that, an attack mainly on civilians was made by the governing body of Gaza, intensionally killing young and old alike...

 

For me, end of story, smash the army until they are no more.

 

Civilians in ANY war take a hit, WWII is a good example, Germany just flattened Europe, civilian casualties were horrendous, but sadly for the German civilians, their turn would come.

To me, the German & Hamas wars are similar, started by fruitcakes with big ideas......

Please quote anything antisemetic or false news. It's quite simple, use 'cut and paste'. Otherwise stop shouting 'antisemitic' at anything you disagree with.

I always use very little oil when cooking. Not too much.

Otherwise US military will come knocking on my door.

So far as I know HAMAS discussion are primarily brokered via Egypt/Qatar. Would be fascinating to know the give and take for the exit of hundreds of foreign passport holders via the Southern Gaza border. I assume there are numerous political issues for the Muslim world not to specifically critique HAMAS in the open, rather blame Israel because of it's policies. Naturally there is no justification for the mass murder of civilians. It's interesting that worldwide only 44 nations have openly condemned HAMAS.

I presume it would be a death sentence for Gazans to openly protest against HAMAS. Don't known the  response in the West Bank, though I assume there are numerous HAMAS operatives there.

Palestinians are willing to risk death while 'resisting' Israel. Not so much when it comes to Hamas.

 

Hamas tried to send fighters to Egypt in ambulances for wounded Gazans — US officia

https://www.timesofisrael.com/hamas-tried-to-send-fighters-to-egypt-in-ambulances-for-wounded-gazans-us-official/l

 

Something I mentioned as a major Israeli concern on several posts.

 

There are other reports (not sure if the relate to the exact same ambulances) about Israel attacking an ambulance convoy in Gaza. Claim being it was used by Hamas as transport. Wouldn't be a first time Hamas did that.

Another snowflake that when confronted with the truth sinks back to his own little echo chamber with his Russian comrades

I posted a few pages back relating to him asking why members are having a go at him. I pointed out some of his posts were untrue and made up to deflect from him being caught spreading misleading information. He failed to respond to these comments which only shows us his intentions to carry on disrupting the thread instead of owning up to his remarks which are untrue.

Wow, 263 pages of bickering. I mean why bother, the BM's here that are pro-terrorist aren't going to change their mind no matter what is written. It's all a waste of time, unless you guys just like to argue?

The US is not the key to peace. That will have to come from rational actors on the two opposing sides. Hamas is never going to be part of that, and I have my doubts about Netanyahu.

 

I used to work this issue as part of the foreign policy arm of the USG. Unless things have changed, the US goal is three fold:

 

1) Help Israel so that it will continue to exist

 

2) Try to minimize all innocent deaths

 

3) Work toward all sides accepting a Two State solution, even if it will never happen and the US is just playing Sisyphus.

 

Perhaps a new goal nowadays is to keep Iran out of it as much as possible, hoping to buy time until the mullahs die and Iran enters a new phase of its existence, which ideally falls in that middle ground between the brutal autocracy of the Shah and the fanaticism of the mullahs. The youth of Iran certainly desire that.

 

Yes, the US does want the flow of oil to continue, and that sometimes means walking a thin line so that the oil-producing monarchies don't do a 1974 again, but things have change even with that. The US has been content to accept/promote the dissolute lifestyle so many Gulf monarchies have adopted, because that gives them a reason to stay out of the Palestinian-Israeli issue in any meaningful way, save for words. Before the US invasion of Iraq, many who opposed the invasion argued that Saddam was no actual threat, and was content to live out the rest of his life enjoying "booze, broads and palaces". That also describes the leaders of the other Gulf monarchies.

Just saying.

 

There are a few things that I'm baffled by. One is why the IDF were seemingly asleep at the wheel, and then it took hours to respond to the break-out. Some say it was Israel's over-reliance on AI. Some say it is because the PM needed deflection. Some say it is part of the big plan to get all Muslims out of Israel. Some say it is because of the huge gas reserves in the area. Some say it's because the US gave them the wink and nod.

 

So Morch; you are right. I don't know what's behind it all. But I'm reading the posts and trying to get a grasp on things.

No, that's not what you're doing at all.

There are different explanations, they are not all the same, nor do all rely on reason or reliable information.

In the post above you manages to allude to three conspiracy theories, and hint at another.

That about describes your posting style and posting history on these matters.
