How is this not on topic? @Brickleberry By your logic, if the word 'video' is included, one could go on about video software editing as well. Lame deflection. You do not address the OP, but rather offer a standard issue one-sided Israel Bad rant. Same hijacking attempts on pretty much all related topics you're commenting on.

Well, when someone is breaking the law and has been doing so for over 56 years.... what else do you expect me to say? If you break the law consistently and show such disregard for it, you can't then complain when the victims rise up and punch you in the nose. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamas were not even around when Israel starting breaking the law. Hamas (formed in 1987) have only been around for 35 years or so. Israel has been breaking the law since 1967. Lets not even talk about the forced displacement of the indigenous Palestinian people in 1947 + 48. Poisoning their drinking water, killing them, raping them, burning their villages to the ground - This was illegal.

Staying on topic doesn't seem to be too hard, though. And, obviously, this is not about the entire conflict, or even solely about Israel. Go on justifying Hamas actions. Then whine when Hamas and the Palestinians get punched in the face. Read the headlines, read the OP. You're not on topic. Not complicated.

It would be a bit strange if you did, because you were not directly affected by these events. Is it not sad that we are talking about who hates each other more? It is pathetic tbh. Israel must start to live up to it's 'democratic, law abiding' status. It is willfully breaking over 26 international laws, is committing war crimes in real time - we can all watch them on social media and the news. We know that the West Bank and other Palestinian lands are under occupation and they live under the control of Israelis. This is just insane! We know this is wrong, the world courts have judged that what Israel has been doing over 5 decades is wrong. Yet still, we blame Hamas. The Germans DID indirectly affect my life, if my mum & dad were still here you could ask them....... As for the thread, Israel is doing what it thinks it should do to clear away a continuous threat, after all, there were not many questions on how the west dealt with Germany or Japan to do the same, were there. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not separate. They are not separate countries. They are the same people. Stop trying to justify Israels actions by dividing their areas into smaller and smaller pockets of land. Until Israel obeys international law and defines its borders according to the 1948 partition plan - which Hamas has agreed to do since 2018. Hamas changed its charter and said it would accept a permanent ceasefire based on the legal borders. The Palestinian people have said they would accept this. The Arab league has said they will accept this and will immediately recognize Israel, trade with Israel etc. The whole world is waiting for Israel to follow the law, and give back the lands they have seized by force illegally. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It misrepresents facts. There was no Palestine in 1946. Not as a Palestinian State. And not all of the land painted green was owned by 'Palestinians'. The 1947 Partition Plan map glosses over the fact that the 'Palestinians' rejected it. Same goes for the 1967 map - The 'Palestinian' land depicted was actually controlled by Egypt and Jordan (the latter annexing the West Bank, even). Palestinians were not into talking peace or a two-state solution back then. There was no 'Palestine' then either. The 'Now' map actually shows the opposite of what's intended. It's the first instance in which Palestinian have a measure of control over their lands. This bogus meme was posted, discussed and taken down numerous times over my years on this forum. You either have no idea what you're talking about, or you do - and push lies anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means the Palestinians rejected the Israelis taking over 54% of the land, even though they represented less than 20% of the population. You are misrepresenting facts. The 1967 map is a true, proper map. Your talking about Egypt and Transjordan occupying palestinian lands during the war up to 1949 - the armistice lines. The now map represents what has been stolen. They have control over their lands? Is that why IDF soldiers can freely arrest and snatch people out of their beds in the West Bank... I think not.

It doesn't matter what it was called, it wasn't 'Palestine' in the sense of a Palestinian State. An 'honest' map would have made that clear by using a different color scheme. The Arabs (not Palestinians yet, back then) rejected the UN resolution. You want to argue against the UN resolution? Go ahead, it would also imply no basis for a Palestinian State, though. Can't have it both ways. I am not 'misrepresenting' anything. The map keeps using the same color for 'Palestine' in order to create the impression that there was such a state, or an area controlled by Palestinians. This was not so. No, Palestinians do not have complete control over their lands. But what control they have now is the most they ever had. That's a fact. You have nothing to say on topic. You just offer one-sided anti-Israeli rants and Palestinian propaganda talking points. Useless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the difference. One attack was done by a terror group for one day. It was bad and it was rightly condemned all over the world. The other one is done by the military of the democratic country instructed by the Israeli PM. It goes on already for more than 3 months. In the attack by the terrorist group roughly 1000 innocent people were killed. In the attacks by Israel at least 10 times the amount of innocent people were killed and huge amount of houses and infrastructure destroyed and food and medication blocked. The list goes on. Yes, one was bad for a day. And the other one is worse and lasted already more than 3 months. And the world is watching and doing little.

Your sort do the one-liner Hamas Bad thing to get it out of the way, then a whole post about how Israel is the worst thing ever, or 'the same' (but pouring more words into it). Similarly, the rhetoric used is often different. More heated when it comes to criticism of Israel, more subdued when it relates to Hamas. So no, not buying into it much. Most do not argue that the death toll isn't high. Or that a whole lot of the casualties are innocents. But then again - what do you think Israel should have done differently? How was Israel to address things after the 7/10 attack? And also, where is Hamas's responsibility in this? These people are their people, under their rule - not accountability demanded? Creating another Hamas? Like the original Hamas was about to disappear or something? This isn't about winning hearts and minds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
