I apologise!

Was a tongue in cheek rhetorical type of question to you.

Propaganda, Misinformation, Disinformation, Religion and appeasements have created the "perfect storm'.

As far as the hostages I think the enemies of the Hamas terrorists assume that they are considered valuable assets. Not saying they won't all end up dead but Hamas has an incentive to keep some alive during this war because they might be able to be used in negotiations.

“well beyond rationality” ….. what a remarkably benign description of the extermination of 6 million jewish men, women and children …. thanks for not leaving your views beyond any possible doubt

They already weren't but that was icing on the Jew hating cake.

As for your rant on propaganda, I suggest you re read your own posts before making light of people that were actually there collecting the bodies.

Liar.

You said in some countries it is illegal to say ANYTHING critical of Israel.

That was a lie.

Mike, get a grasp on grammar or lay off the grog.

With regard to unfolding developments in the Middle East. Al Jazeera is first upon my radar, as it current regarding any event, perhaps not always true form. Only ostrich i see, I'm responding to.

Israel can't miss this opportunity to wipe out their enemy. I know you can never say anything bad about Israel but try to look at both sides. 

You think Israel and Israelis are thrilled going into Gaza? Looking forward to the death toll? Israel's (or, put differently, Netanyahu's) strategy up to now was to keep the Gaza Strip pacified through economic means, with the occasional blowout when things got out of hand. While it wasn't ideal, I'm pretty sure it was preferable to what we're about to see. Calling this an 'opportunity' is kinda sick.

We are wasting our time, like I said in a few posts back, in this forum there's people still believing in good and evil like the world was a Marvel movie. Completely clueless. I admire they know the full history of the Mandate but falling for a completely distorted western view of history doesn't make you intelligent.

So Hamas beheading 40 babies, as evinced by Joe Biden through "pictures he saw", later retracted  by all. Again 40 children within a conflict seem to be expendable by either side, without the need to garnish it as homicidal butchery. Gaza children are reaching how many? And total count of Palestinian children throughout these years amount to what number? Makes me wretch,

  

It doesn't really matter whether them Israeli babies were beheaded, slaughtered, burned alive, shot or whatnot. What does matter is that they are dead. What does matter is that killing them was deliberate. What mattered is that this was planned for months. This was evil.

 

People (and yes, children too) die during wars and military operations. It's only same same if they are intentionally targeted. The people of the Gaza Strip are not.

 

Take it a step further on that scale of evil. Hamas carried out the attack knowing full well the consequences. There was no attempt to do anything to assure the safety of Gazans. In fact, Hamas urges them to stay put and die for the cause (while Hamas leaders are safely in underground bunkers, or having a good time on luxury hotels in the Gulf).

Why wasn't the Israeli Air Force around the border a week ago? I would have thought they could have intercepted the Hamas Paragliders.

The paragliders were but one aspect of this attack. Israel's intelligence, operational and strategic failures were discussed, in detail, on quite a lot of posts by now. Why come with this out of nowhere as if it's some new info or something?

Thank you. Hope this is true. Next humane thing is to allow medical supplies which have reached a critical level and allow medical evacuation of the critically injured civilians and to stop the targeting of medical facilities, ambulances and medical personnel, as we have seen videos of bombed hospitals, destroyed ambulances and injured first responders.

 

Things will get really ugly once the troops move inside Gaza. 

Spokesperson for the Hamas interior ministry Eyad Al-Bozom said on Monday that Israel had not permitted water supplies to be turned back on in Gaza, as had been reported.

Was it 1 baby, 2, 3 or more? Were their parents legitimate targets IDF and caught in the crossfire living within close proximity to the worlds largest open prison? 

Did the Hamas force just attack the IDF bases and take some hostages, followed  bythe repressed population who also went through the wire and exacted vengeance for their lost children, brothers, sisters, parents.

How much is propaganda, how much is truth - never the twain will meet

Of course these laws are being exploited in favor of Israel so that no criticism is allowed. Von Der Leyen was heavily criticized for this reason recently.

I do not hide behind pseudonym. I spent my formative years in the Middle East, I never play  emotive card. 40 babies were slaughtered, then where they? If the babies were slaughtered there would be no grieving parents as they would have been slaughtered likewise. Reality doesn't fit the narrative.

 

The words sick and puppy keep coming to me. No idea why.

 

Pictures were shown, shared and distributed. Many media outlets and websites choose not to publish such gruesome horrors (including, I think, this forum). They can be found though searching the net, changing certain preferences if you have them on. I stopped watching after a while.

 

Unless you missed it some cases whole families were slaughtered or abducted. In other cases, some survived and some did not. Other cases people were killed on the way to the Gaza Strip. Many options to choose from. As posted earlier, this specific issue seems to either bring out the worse in some posters or maybe attracts the worst posters. Not that important a distinction, perhaps.

Some posts contravening our Community Standards have been removed.
