Popular Post Yellowtail Posted December 31, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 31, 2023 11 minutes ago, OneMoreFarang said: In other news: At least 21,672 people killed and 56,165 injured in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7. The revised death toll from the October 7 attack in Israel stands at 1,139. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2023/12/31/israel-hamas-war-live-destroyed-homes-leave-1-5-million-homeless-in-gaza Yes, Israel has the right to defend themselves. But they don't have the right to kill everybody with that excuse. If any other country's government would behave like Israel now, there would be the toughest sanctions worldwide. But with Israel, they just kill everybody. And of course, the USA not only does nothing, but they supply most of the weapons. You understand that Hamas continues to attack Israel, and that they are still holding hostages, yes? What should Israel do to stop them? If Hamas surrendered, it would over today. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Lacessit Posted December 31, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 31, 2023 The real problem is organisations such as Hamas and Hezbollah do not recognize Israel's right to exist, and are sworn to destroy that nation. What does one do when confronted with an attitude like that? It's like trying to persuade a rabid dog to refrain from biting. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You lot tried it before and you're trying it again . How you getting on with it ? Someone is doing a terrible job then with less than half of the worldwide Jewish population living in Israel.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_population_by_country 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Morch Posted January 1 Popular Post Share Posted January 1 13 hours ago, stevenl said: I am careful with the NGO reports, even more careful with the IDF reports and don't trust AJ reports at all But in this case she seems to have been denied counsel and other rights, I have not seen reports refuting that. I have no idea about guild or not. My point was not so much about your own take, but about who you raise this question with. I don't recall you making these sort of comments when AJ reports, or NGO reports were linked and discussed without reservation as factual and real. I am not going to defend Israel's shoddy treatment of Palestinians in the West Bank, the detainment system or the curbing of rights. Even without direct reference to the case presented, it's obvious things are wrong. That said, notice how the topic was neatly hijacked? Because this isn't about the West Bank, or that woman's case, or any of the rest. This topic is/was about the Israeli hostages taken by Hamas. Some posters invest a whole lot of energy derailing such topics (not meaning you). 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some posters I just ignore. Sometimes try to ignore because I do get drawn in sometimes. And yes, the topic was hijacked, it started with post number 3. And then slowly it deteriotes as seems to happen to all these topics, both sides are guilty of that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The childish of that ploy was embodied by a baiting and irrelevant comment. Since that didn't pan out for you, now you come up with an accusation of an "agenda". What agenda would that be? Can you share with me the contents of my to do list? Your posts read as though poorly understood phrases and arguments, along with empty baiting comments ("leftist" this and "leftist" that) were tossed into some kind of mental blender to create a word gloop which you fling in the hope that something will stick. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 'like for like', maybe - if you disregard the previous comments. What was it you said about 'dishonest'? I've no idea what you're on about with your second remark, I suggest that in this case too, you're just playing a childish tit-for-tat, rather than having an actual point. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff the Chef Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Israeli officials are concerned the International Court of Justice (ICJ) could charge the state with genocide in Gaza, Haaretz reported on Monday. According to the Israeli daily, a senior legal expert dealing with the case has warned the military leadership that there is a "real danger" the court will issue an injection calling on Israel to halt its military action in Gaza. https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/israeli-officials-concerned-icj-could-charge-israel-genocide?nid=331061&topic=Israel-Palestine%20war&fid=495911 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
