Of course Hamas’ actions were deplorable but that does not give Israel carte blance to genocide. There are now reports of 2000+ dead in Gaza, roughly half of which are women and children - at which point would you be comfortable to say enough is enough and that we have reached something disproportionate? 3000 dead? 5000? It seems that it's a numbers game of civilian deaths. What total do we need to reach before a ceasefire ? Edited by Forest Hillbilly (17 Oct 2023 5.59pm)

Although I don’t agree with it, wanting someone to ‘win’ is one thing - why do you have to lie and parrot propaganda as a result? There is ample evidence of Israel bombing schools and hospitals, and ample reports that the beheaded babies story was invented by Israeli sources - you chose to deny the thing with ample evidence and amplify the thing with none. It clearly makes you feel better about yourself to keep throwing these emotive accusations at people but it’s very transparent. There are no winners in this, just an enormous waste of life. Certainly feels that way. A very sincere tragedy and circumstance.
Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |

Israel have not deliberately bombed any schools or hospitals. Who says that the deliberate killing of infants by Islamic terrorist savages is 'incorrect'? Do you think Britain was committing atrocities when we bombed Germany during World War II. It is a war, many innocent people get killed in wars. The question is who do you want to win? I want Israel to win, you want a bunch of Islamic terrorists to. Edited by georgenorman (17 Oct 2023 5.01pm) You're a fool, blinded by your own ideology and lack of appreciation for the depth, complexity and history of this conflict. Both sides are committing war crimes – sure, Hamas were far worse on this occasion, but that doesn't then make Israel the good guys – you can't simply choose to ignore Israel's war crimes, both now and in the past. Civilians are being killed on both sides – currently continued indiscriminate firing of rockets into Gaza, a territory of mainly civilian population is not proportionate. A school in Palestine has just been bombed with 4000 people sheltering in it. Unconfirmed reports just now of Israeli planes striking a Hospital. A school. A Hospital. Putting aside the fact that civilian buildings like that are supposed to be firmly off the table – Maybe 100 of those people were terrorists, maybe they weren't. Does that make it the right thing to do? No. Is an act like that worth cheering as you want one side to win? Maybe for you. You're a disgrace. Edited by SW19 CPFC (17 Oct 2023 6.48pm)

If Hamas had not attacked Israel, none of this would be happening. Israel will carrying on until they have destroyed Hamas, just like Trump did with ISIS. This is such a poorly educated position to take. If Zionist terrorists hadn't kicked off in the 40s and 50s, this would also not be happening. If the British and the UN hadn't decided that they wanted to carve a country up and displace its population, if the PLO hadn't carried out a bombing campaign... and so on and so on. Trotting out tit for tat nonsense like that to try and justify either sides aggression and atrocities simply shows a total lack of understanding of the topic.

The way some on this thread talk the entire population of Palestine are basically no different from the actual terrorists in their midst, so apparently they're fair game.

Edited by SW19 CPFC (17 Oct 2023 6.48pm) Apparently 6 people out of 4,000 killed. All these reports are from Hamas, so of course they must be absolutely true. Being called a disgrace by a far-left terrorist apologist is like The Hunchback of Notre Dame saying I have rounded shoulders.

Being called a disgrace by a far-left terrorist apologist is like The Hunchback of Notre Dame saying I have rounded shoulders. You can't even read. Or don't want to. As stated clearly, and previously, I have no 'side' in this conflict. I do not support Hamas, or for that matter, Palestine. Same goes for Israel. Both are as bad as each other in this latest exchange. Anyone outside of this picking a side is either adhering to some sort of belief or narrative, or simply too ignorant to want to understand the historical detail. It could have been just one death – the point was about indiscriminate bombing of civilians, specifically civilian buildings, which you are quite happy to support as you have picked a 'side'. It's disgraceful.

It's just a massacre of, largely, a civilian population. Hamas are probably in the bodycount somewhere, but who knows ?
