spidermike007 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 2 hours ago, Scouse123 said: Agreed, And also there is this:- In June 2007, Hamas fighters took control of the Gaza Strip and removed all Fatah officials. President Abbas, on 14 June, declared a state of emergency, dismissed Haniyeh's national unity government and appointed an emergency government, and suspended articles of the Basic Law to circumvent the needed PNC approval. You have now militants controlling the country through force, not the ballot box. There have been no elections since 2006. You therefore have a terrorist unelected de facto government. Amazing, Israel gets attacked without any warning and 1300 plus civilians murdered and 248 plus taken hostages as shields, and the world says little. Israel responds to them and they are the bad guys. It is the nature and extent of the response that the world is opposed to, more than 10,000 children have been killed so far, there's no proportionality between what Hamas did and what Israel is currently doing, and to many it seems like Israel's intent is to completely obliterate Gaza from the face of the map. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's never going to be proportionate, it's not scores on the doors, nor is it tit-for-tat mentality. They are now trying to dismantle a vast network that has been built from the vast network of tunnels to weapons stockpiles and bombs over the last 18 years. Schools, residential areas and hospitals are known areas where Hamas keeps its weapons supplies to cause maximum civilian casualties, in the event of an Israeli response, so they can go to the UN playing the victim and trying to widen it into a wider conflict to involve other Arab nations in the region. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is up to a 4-hour wait behind a huge fence with heavily armed soldiers. Many Gazan people who work in Israel spend up to 6 or 8 hours a day going back and forth dealing with the security apparatus. Why is there this massive security apparatus installed is the question, but you know the reasons why it is there already. 1 hour ago, bultaco44 said: Another poster who condones massmurder !

Was the way the Allies creamed the Nazis in WW2 proportionate? There is thing called WAR. Israel didn't ask for it. Hamas is on record as wanting to: Kill all Jews End the state of Israel Continue repeating October 7 attacks So Israel is supposed to sit back for that? What other country would be expected to? 3 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChicagoExpat Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Thailand kowtows to Hamas while insulting a country that has benefitted Thailand tremendously. Well done.

ChicagoExpat Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 A few facts to hopefully provide a more intelligent conversation: Israel has not occupied any part of Gaza since 2005. There is no occupation. Israel forcibly evacuated a small kibbutz there, to remove an irritant. Gaza borders two nations -- Egypt and Israel. Any criticism of the controls on Gaza have to include Egypt as well. Israel formerly had no controls on entry into Israel from Gaza as recently as around 20 years ago. This relationship benefitted (nearly) everyone -- thousands of Gazans worked in Israel everyday for good wages, and thousands of Israelis shopped in and visited Gaza. What changed? Arafat decisively rejected a two state solution as he was offered 98% of the West Bank, not 100% (the 2% of which -- rightly or wrongly -- had major Israeli habitation and there was no way that would change). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, yes, there WOULD be murders, rapes, and hostages even if there were such a thing as "Palestine." It's absolutely incredible that you've gone from attacking Israel to literally defending Hamas. You're disgusting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
