I think the Jews in US and UK don't want to identify as Asian. The deflection here is incredible.

No, I've never said that. Please stop lying about me.

@Eloquent pilgrim says Israel isn't in Asia and asked for a link.

@Chomper Higgot gave a link and you said, "do you know nothing".

The Israeli terrorists are not content just killing 40 paramedics, they're killing UN peacekeepers now.

Maybe there is a topic somewhere on this but I can't find it.

Two Indonesian UN peacekeepers killed in explosion in Lebanon

Two UN peacekeepers killed in explosion in Lebanon

It is the second fatal incident in the last 24 hours, Unifil says, after Israel expanded its operation against Hezbollah.

You're lying again, I did not say that. It seems like all you do is lie.

Israel have entered the Lebanon quagmire again with predictable results. Since October 7th scaled up pro-rata the number of Israeli army deaths is getting close to that was lost by the US in Vietnam over 15 years. Analysis by Gemini.Netanhayu likes to say Israel will become a modern Sparta like state heavily militiarsied and technologically superior on a permanent war footing. He conveniently forgets that in the end Sparta fell.

We were told the IDF was an unbeatable shield, but look at the reality this morning: Iran has turned the Strait of Hormuz into a private lake, U.S. bases in Bahrain and Kuwait are taking direct hits, and the "Coalition" is just standing there paralyzed. It’s the Spartan trap all over again. They baited Trump into a regional war they can’t finish, and now they’re stuck in Lebanon fighting a Hezbollah that "magically" reappears every time they claim it’s destroyed. You can't run a superpower like a private club and expect the world to keep bailing you out. We aren't watching a victory; we’re watching a modern Sparta go broke and run out of men while the rest of us deal with the "economic disaster" they triggered.

So , American Jews are actually Israeli Asians and Israeli Asians are actually Eastern Europeans .

So, Spidermike is American and Asian and European ?

Have to laugh at all these racists in northern Ireland calling other ethnicities terrorists lol

, one bloke at my work in Australia oh about 15 years ago now,Steve who came from North Ireland

had a Irish accent but denied he was Irish ..."I'm British" he kept telling me

Yes Steve , I said your British"with a Irish accent" ...lol...

and I'm British with a Aussie accent ....oh how ridiculous is it ....but ...you can identify whatever you want nowadays, I guess if he wanted to be British nowadays with an Irish accent he can be !!!

Last I heard Steve was identifying as a Australian Aboriginal living in free housing up near Alice Springs and Uluru

Ethnicity on the Island of Ireland is complext. People, north and south, can have an Irish ethnicity, a Scots ethnicity, a Welsh ethnicity and Englsh ethnicity. But more importantly, Ireland is full of identity politics. That is the whole basis of the Good Friday Agreement; the right to be British and Irish. Sithout that right, the terrorists kick off. Hence Brexit was so dangerous. Its also very dangerous to deny the London Irish are not Irish.

I didn’t  think it particularly deflective to mention an Islamic terrorist attack in the UK when the thread is about a Western democracy at war with the Islamic terrorist organisation, Hezbollah. I also wanted to flag up the excellent BBC dramatisation “A Song For Jenny”

You are the one to indulge in deflection, exactly as the poster I was replying to does; you followed the same dictum, don’t engage and indulge immediately in whataboutery. All but 5 words of your reply to me are about the IRA and the Omagh bombing in 1998 !!

You don’t want a discourse about Islamic terrorism, because like the left-wing extremists on this forum, you have a hissy fit if any muslim is criticised, totally regardless of any heinous act they have committed.

It is not just the acts of terrorism though, it is also the threats, designed to intimidate, silence and shut down any criticism of Islam; in March 2021 at Batley Grammar school in Yorkshire, a teacher showed a caricature of Muhammad in a religious class about blasphemy. A baying crowd of muslims descended on the gates of the school demanding his sacking, and he and his wife and young children all received death threats.

There was a mountain of online evidence of death threats, but despite this, West Yorkshire Police failed to make one single arrest or prosecution; instead they told the teacher to go into hiding with his wife and four young children.

In 2024 a review by Dame Sara Khan concluded that the police had completely failed the teacher (guess why)

The teacher and his entire family were all given new identities, and are still in hiding 5 years later, their lives lying in tatters …. You and others on the left want to ignore incidents like this, and consequently embolden the intimidation, shameful … Britain 2026

I got the memo that Israel is an imperialist and a coloniser. However, 1982 is a long time to hold a grudge. What's Hezbollah's or Hamas's reason for being right now. It true it would be impossible to make Israel more warlike but those two militant groups are going to change that.

Not really. Some in the US have a 250 year grudge. Some in Ireland have a 400 year grdge. The conflict with Iran is powered by either a 47 year grudge (the Gulf Arabs heartily poured money into Iraq when it invaded Iran), or a 72 year grudge for older Iranians, remembering when the Shah was installed. And do Jews hold a 81 year grudge?

The details of the events surrounding Israel's invasion in 1982 are shocking. Its not what they did, but didn't do. They were aided by the South Lebanon Army, the SLA, a Shia-Christian paramilitary organisation. The purpose of Israel;s invasion was to take on the PLO who were in refugee camps. The SLA went nuts, and went into the camps and massacred women and kids; the Sabra and Shatila massacres. The Israelis stood back and did nothing. Up until that point, Israel did in fact hold the moral high ground; they were the tiny nation surrounded by enemies, and seemed to share the same liberal values as the West. So there was natural sympathy.

That was shaken by Sabra. Major Saad Haddad was a Christian Maronite; he was a warlord, running South Lebanon. His army was mostly Christian, but his officers included Shia and Druze. He painted himself as a Lebanese patriot, wanting rid of Syrians and Palestinians. But in reality, he was anything but. He formed "Free Lebanon", his fiefdom, recognised by no one except Israel, who bankrolled him.

The SLA also ran a torture centre, proper electrodes on genitals type of place, detaining members of the then new Hezbollah, as well as anyone opposing them, which included people refusing to pay their "tax". But gradually the SLA was infiltrated by the Lebanese Army, and Hezbollah. In 2000, the SLA collapsed, and abandoned their posts over night creating a vacuum that Hezbollah gleefully took over. So "Free Lebanon" operated as a quasi state, the SLA abandoned it, and before Beirut could asset control, Hezbollah took over. So this is another failed state story, for which Israel bore some responsibility for. But so did the PLO.

South Lebanon had a populaton of 100,000, roughly split 60-40between Shia and Christian. Christian support for Hezbollah has been growing. In 2020, about 16% of Christians had a positive view, now that support has almost. Interestingly, Shi'ite Hezbollah is seen as less sectarian by the Sunni population, with the % having a negative view declining from 60% (similar to the Christians) to 34%. Evidently, continued Israeli raids has allowed Hezbollah to rebrand itself as a guarantoor of Lebanese nationhood.

However, with a Muslim flag as an avatar, it is not surprising to see you supporting a terrorist organisation, meaning that your claim to believe in International Law is only valid when it suits your narrative.

Trying to link someone’s views to a “Muslim flag” is blatant prejudice. Equating being Muslim with supporting terrorism is racist, bigoted, and completely undermines any claim to be arguing in good faith.

You have no credibility as a pro Israeli Zionist, especially by completely ignoring and deflecting.

Oh dear, you've been listening to Trump propaganda.

Iran has never started a war since the US was formed, over 200 years.

Yes, it has allies in the likes of Hezbollah, which is NOT a terrorist organisation. You people there this terrorist word around to justify your war crimes.

The IRA were once Terrorist to some people, so was Nelson Mandela. Take those blankets off and see the truth. Israel are the real terrorists here, supported by the USA.

"Whataboutism" is a classic Communist-Soviet approach to debates.

https://www.economist.com/europe/2008/01/31/whataboutism

SOVIET propagandists during the cold war were trained in a tactic that their western interlocutors nicknamed “whataboutism”. Any criticism of the Soviet Union (Afghanistan, martial law in Poland, imprisonment of dissidents, censorship) was met with a “What about...” (apartheid South Africa, jailed trade-unionists, the Contras in Nicaragua, and so forth).

Alleged criminal acts committed by Israeli forces against Indonesian blue helmet troops in Lebanon are not justified by crimes the Islamic Republic of Iran has committed in Iraq, Syria, Israel/

Do you support Israel because you support Israel and the values you think you share with it, or do you support Israel because you hate Iran/Muslims so much, and otherwise couldn't give two <deleted> about the Jews?
