Exodus by Leon Uris is a very famous book.

On its release, the biggest best-seller in the US since “Gone with the Wind.” Made into a Hollywood blockbuster directed by Otto Preminger and starring Paul Newman and Eva Marie Saint. Hardly “specialist reading material” as the original post claims.

So what? I'm an American and I've nevertheless heard of Shakespeare, Milton, Dickens, and Kingsley Amis. Leon Uris may not be in the same league in terms of literary heft, but his book is relevant to the topic. And I didn't realize there were such things as "UK threads" here (??)

Me thinks you knew exactly what I meant when saying it was a UK thread. Did I really need to elaborate more about the topic and what country it refers to? Being from the UK I have still never heard of it and doubt it has any comparison to Shakespeare chum

I read it while at school. It was in the school library, so a popular book, and as you say hardly specialist reading material.

Somewhat strange that seemingly  the only casualties are innocent children, and the only buildings destroyed are either hospitals , schools and baby milk factories.  Have any of your  "hamas heroes" actually been killed yet

More nonsense from you. The Hamas Health Authority doesn't specify who is a Hamas soldier and who isn't. As for the extent of civilian deaths, even the IDF disagrees with those who, like you, offer wholescake skepticism about the number of civilians killed by Israeli forces.

 

IDF officials: 2 civilian deaths for every 1 Hamas fighter killed in Gaza

Approximately two civilians have been killed for every dead Hamas fighter in the Gaza Strip, senior military officials said Monday, adding that the IDF was deploying high-tech mapping software to try to reduce noncombatant deaths.

Asked about media reports that 5,000 Hamas fighters had been killed, one of the senior officials told reporters at a briefing, “The numbers are more or less right.”

The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza says Israel’s military campaign, in response to the terror group’s murderous attacks on October 7, has killed around 15,900 people so far, most of them women and children.

"The Hamas-run health ministry"  says it all really , yet you have decided to believe them. I guess that's up to you   Personally I have never believed a word any  government said, never mind one which made up of shameless islamist cowards.  

Anyway the Israelis appear to be going soft now , more's the pity.....

from your link   

"“I can assure you that we’re doing everything in our power to reduce civilian casualties,” the senior Israeli official said. “But this is part of the consequences of war.”

They should have thought about the consequences before they committed the atrocity on october the 7th  when  they (hamas)  specifically targeted innocent Israelis.  They need to be taught a lesson they will never ever forget, then maybe, just maybe they will think about the consequences before acting in a similar manner again.   

 

one possible reason for the alleged civilian casualties ,  (from the same link)

 

 “ one of the senior officials at the briefing said, adding that the use of human shields was part of Hamas’s “core strategy.”

well that has not worked out too well for them this time  has it ? 

 

But as you seem to have forgotten why all of this is happening, how about reading this.. (again from the same link)......

 

3,000 terrorists burst across the border into Israel from Gaza, killing some 1,200 people and dragging over 240 hostages into Gaza. The vast majority of those killed as gunmen seized border communities were civilians — including babies, children and the elderly.

 

many of whom endured agonising slow deaths including rape and decapitation  do you remember that minor detail??

 

          If a gang broke into my house and did something like that I would respond in exactly the same manner,  once I had identified those responsible I would kill them , their families, their friends, their sympathisers,   their pets , and anybody who even just looked like them.  and I wouldn't stop for anybody. no matter how much they whinged about the injustice of my vengeful retaliation 

          How would you respond ?  sanctions and a strongly worded letter of condemnation to the Guardian?  

          As far as I am concerned the responsibility for all the bloodshed rests firmly at the feet of Hamas and  I fully support the Israelis retaliation.

        

          Now run along and  virtue signal to some students or  others  of a similar mindset who actually  give a f*@k  because i don't.

Hardly specialist reading material ?    " Israeli textbooks and propaganda novels , such as Leon Uris's Exodus"  you must have gone to a very special school if that was a "popular" book.  Or maybe you were just "special ?     Teenagers normally have other things on their minds,  I know I did

ICJ, says you and yours need to stop, allow the children to have water and be fed, just stop already.

 

“these men are surprised that this is the law; they really are surprised that there is any such thing as law. These defendants did not rely on any law at all. Their program ignored and defied all law…. International law, natural law, German law, any law at all was to these men simply a propaganda device to be invoked when it helped and to be ignored when it would condemn what they wanted to do.”

   Talking about laws and rules and things like that .

This thread is about the current rise of Anti Semitism in the UK .

The ICJ ruling was in a thread a few weeks ago, when the Court gave its verdict

Minister of Social Equality & Women's Advancement, May Golan of the Likud, during a Knesset hearing about the motion to expel MK Ofer Cassif: "I am personally proud of the ruins of Gaza, and that every baby, even 80 years from now, will tell their grandchildren what the Jews did"

It isn't related at all .

If you think that its acceptable to attack UK Jews because of the Gaza war , then you must also accept Muslims being attacked across the World, next time there's a Muslim terror attack .

   Next time Muslims carry out a terror attack anywhere in the World , we can all go outside and bash  any Muslims we see .

   (P.S Are you really a Female in Tehran, or are you just cosplaying ?)

btw would you say that Lula and Prince William are now like Corbyn "anti-semitic" ?

 

Brazil's Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira on Israel declaring Lula persona non grata: "For a foreign ministry to address a head of state from a friendly country in this way is unusual and revolting...It is a shameful page in the history of Israel's diplomacy."
