If it turns out to be the case that the resistance from Hamas ends up being far less than expected, I wonder if that can be attributed, at least in part, to the same cause the bedeviled the Russian armed forces. Namely, corruption. 

 

How does corruption relate to it? Care to elaborate?

Before some of you get all indignant, get on top of soap boxes, get into righteous rant mode and so on...

 

Yes, and?

 

That, indeed, what I have to say on the clip shown above. Not because I don't feel sorry for the guy in the wheelchair. Not because i think the soldiers didn't do wrong. Of course it's not right. Duh.

 

But what was the point? To show that the IDF is not pure as snow? To demonstrate that the occupation in the West Bank can be brutal and is wrong? I've no issues with that. Said as much on more than one post. I think people thinking otherwise are clueless, or hopeless zealots.

 

So what was the point, then? Does this scene imply Israel is totally in the wrong on everything? Does it justify the 7/10 Hamas attack? Does it make all the Palestinians into angels? The answers are no, no, and no.

 

So what we're left with is a poor attempt to deflect. To make a not so subtle Israel-bad-therefore argument. Not particularly impressed, and certainly not convinced.

 

News flash: Armies all over the world sometimes behave badly. Armies maintaining control over civilian populations maybe more so.

 

So back to the original:

 

Yes, and? What exactly are we expected to do with this information? To fold? To declare the utter rout of views? Just to remind - none of the so-called 'pro-Palestinian' crowd on here batted an eyelid, changed his point of view or anything close to that - not even after the 7/10 attack, which spin as you may was a tad worse than a guy in a wheelchair getting kicked.

 

Have at it, ladies.

 

 


Yes, the IDF is not as pure as snow and Madonna is not quite a virgin.

 

 

Does this scene imply Israel is totally in the wrong on everything?

 

Nobody said that.

Does it prove that the IDF is a brutal occupier that treats the Palestinians in inhumanely? Sure does.
What is your point, as long as the IDF isn’t 100% wrong you’re fine with their crimes? Very, very weak argument, then again look at what you are attempting to defend - this behaviour is exactly the sort of thing seen on October 7th.
 

Does it justify the 7/10 Hamas attack?

 

Nobody said that.

It certainly proves that Israel created the environment that created the Hamas terrorists.

I wonder what the ghosts of the Jews slaughtered by Hitler are saying as they witness the crimes that their kinfolk are committing?

 

Does it make all the Palestinians into angels?

 

Nobody said that.

It certainly explains why the Palestinians aren’t angels.

What would you do if it were your loved ones being treated as the IDF has treated these people?

Apologise and make excuses for the IDF?

Demonise the victims?

 

Only the most awful of people could witness such inhumanity and not unequivocally condemn it.

Defending the undefendable, this is not the first time I've seen video's with the same total disregard for any rules of engagement, we are the Israeli IDF and if you're not Jewish we can do whatever we like to you.

Yes, blah blah blah what Hamas did on the 7th was one thing, but how can anyone of sound mind think this type of conduct by your armed forces is going to help your cause.

Over the last few days any sympathy I had for Israel has gone out the window.

 

Where did you see me 'defending' what's shown in the clip. I posted just the opposite.

What sympathy? You were already outed as an antisemite, remember?

Instead of spending money meant for weaponry and construction, the leadership lined their pockets with it instead.

Only if you are unable to properly comprehend the written word. 
 

It appears you have confused yourself into thinking that there has only been a “single incident” when in fact the “single incident” cited is being used as an example - i.e., it is one of many.

 

So it exactly contradicts your point.

 

It's not my task to prove your points. You made a claim, the blog piece you linked does not quite make it.

A single incident is, in your mind, enough to make a general sweeping claim?

34 minutes ago, MrMojoRisin said:


Why would the Israeli’s level his house?

Aren’t they using precision bombs and only targeting Hamas.

Levelling innocent civilian housing would be consistent with committing genocide, and from what I’ve heard - Israel aren’t doing that.

Could contain:

You should be asking yourself why would a Palestinian terrorist cut out an unborn baby from its mother and then behead it and then behead the mother, and when you find the answers to this perverted sadism Grasshopper you will find your answer.

There's surely a whole lot of money lining pockets of higher ups, especially those living outside of the Gaza Strip.

That said, the tunnel network is extensive, thousands of rockets, and fighting a guerilla style warfare in urban surrounding does not require inordinate amounts of arms or ammunition.

 

I think that Hamas lost a whole lot of its 'elite' troops on the first two days, and that effects things. Otherwise, the IDF is putting on some serious pressure, and appears to have had some tactical surprises.

 

How well (or badly, depending on point of view) things are may be better answered when fighting underground commences.

 

I do agree (posted earlier) that the IDF's advance was much faster than previously estimated (at least publicly), and that IDF casualties are (so far) on the low side.

Why so obtuse?

You're flailing.

 

Can you not understand “THIS” single incident has a different meaning to “A” single incident?

 

I guess not.

You tell me - why would a Palestinian terrorist cut out an unborn baby from its mother and then behead it and then behead the mother?

 

Did this atrocity occur in a vacuum?

 

Do tell.

I would have thought that was most obvious, but before I give you my thoughts can I suggest that you get down from that high horse you have and a change of tone to your posts would be most gratifying, other posters are sick of the way you like to patronise other posters. 

I asked you the question first and yet you refuse to answer, these people are brainwashed, conditioned and programmed from birth to hate the Israelis and to irradicate Israel and the Israelis, when someone is brainwashed they are capable of any heinous vile crime. HTH

How should we, the civilised good folk of the world deal with “these people”?

 

Genocide perhaps?

Of course the Israeli's are as pure as the driven snow in all this, Israeli's think they are the chosen ones and all non-Jews are nothing more than in their way to colonise the whole region by fair means or foul. Mostly foul, if there is a God Israel will be hell bound forever.

Come on Jeff, don’t be so utterly disingenuous, you have never, ever, had any sympathy for Israel. Your very first comment on this thread was on the day of the Hamas massacre, 7th October (page 3) and you said “The Human Race, what a shameful lot we are” not any condemnation whatsoever of the appalling atrocities carried out by Hamas, and not a word of sympathy for the many victims. This was before any Israeli retaliation.

 

Your next comment the following day was to post a chart showing more Palestinians killed than Israelis between 2008 and 2023 (which conveniently didn’t show the 1,400 Israelis killed on 7/10)

 

Since then every one of your posts has been anti-Israeli / pro-Hamas, so don’t claim to have ever had any sympathy for Israel, because you never have had any ….. pants on fire.

 

You are not obliged to have any sympathy for Israel, and are at liberty not to have any at all at your choice; but don’t try and give any weight to any of your comments by saying you have lost something that you never had to begin with.

For a  certain Hamas apologist who thinks Hamas terrorists have to wear uniforms and should be called freedom fighters, footage from Hamas themselves on the intense battles going on in Gaza with IDF

If that's the best you can come up with, I wouldn't have bothered. Israel have opened humanitarian corridors for the Palestinians so stop banding nonsense words like "genocide" about, it is totally nonsense nor does it have the dramatic effect you seek!

Zionist clap trap, Israel is an Apartheid state, except that or keep out of it.

He won't answer you, because then he'll be confronted on why this war started on the 7th Oct

Do you mean that the Palestinians in Gaza lost their Northern territory?

 

According to western media supporting Israeli side : YES.

 

Again, private footages can be seen online and I think it's healthy to count 2 to 5 losses of Israeli armored vehicle losses per day (24H) in Northern Gaza. I saw an unverified source on 7th of October of a total of 113 demolished Merkava's< bulldozers, AIFV's, etc.

 

It's difficult to conclude or to confirm with the available media from both sides if Northern Gaza is fully under Israeli control.

Having reading problems, Israel is an Apartheid state, end of.

Israeli's will be going to hell if there is one, and they are no better than Hamas in my opinion, disgusting Zionist's since 2006.

Haaretz (with subscription) published an online list of all Israeli citizens who died since the 7th of October attack.

 

The list has 683 causalities since 23rd of October. Some 331 victims were police force + IDF soldiers (48,4%) read combatants.

 

Are you sure this 1.400 figure is correct?

I can think of at least 4,104 Palestinian children who won’t be able to access the “humanitarian” corridor.

 

So no genocide, okay.

 

How about a little indiscriminate bombing of residential areas that kills innocent civilians at a rate unseen anywhere for decades - is that how we civilised folk should respond to “these people”?
