Ukraine gave Hamas drones. ? Your knickers are showing again Dave
Nope, I'm saying the munitions that the drones carried probably came from the Ukraine conflict.
You said Ukraine initially not Ukraine conflict which is very different. Of the two parties in that conflict one is far, far more corrupt (not that there isn't corruption in Ukraine).
Are you people that twisted? You though I said Ukraine was supplying Hamas with munitions? Talking about acting in bad faith.

Also, Ukraine didn't become less corrupt because Russia invaded, it's one of the most corrupt places in the world.

Finally; Soldiers are equally corrupt, no matter to what army the belong.

So 50% of the population of Palestine are children...who were described today as human animals to which, Israel would react accordingly.
These children have no where to go
95% of the people who have died, in the conflict over the last 15 years are Palestinians.
95%
If Israelies had any decency they would just leave.
They would see what their presence is doing, in the area, and ask the US for a state in the Rustbelt..., o.k. they will still try to build settlements in other states and damn all the water, and steal orange groves and all the fertile land..and get nukes, and start blockading the state next door, and do low level intimidation flights, and paint a bunch of bulldovers in camo green, and knock down fences and steal some more land, and then scream anti semitism if anyone complains..but still...they won't be any worse than the Maga crowd.

Why can't the children go to the Arab countries that support them? Why can't they be evacuated via the Egyptian border crossing with Gaza - why are the Arabs not helping?

Bit of a folk hero has arisen. A Moroccan descendent Jewish grandmother (70 or so I believe). That sort of person its famous for being feeders, I've got one in my family and it's always a joy to eat her food, except for the stomach pains after.

Rachel apparently convinced the Hamas soldiers to enjoy some coffee and cookies, distracting them whilst swat moved into position to take them out.

Honest to god what I don't understand about the Left/Far Left is that their views on life are just not shared by the people the purport to support in the Palestine v Israel conflict.

They are being used as much as Hamas uses the Palestinians to provide them with canon fodder.

Most Catholic nordies support Palestine like they do Celtic and most Prods Israel like they do Rangers. They just post shit they hear off their mates and are quite clueless. You see it on Irish comments pages where they post the same links to 'Israel soldiers raped women in 1948' and '589 babies die in Gaza every day'.

Hey, sammyshark...look it's a failed 70 odd year experiment, Israelies tried to make it work, I am sure..it seems mainly by murdering their neighbours, occupying and stealing their land, imprisoning all of Palestine for 16 years...provocation, intimidation, shooting children throwing rocks and suchlike..., I am sure they even tried a peace process too, for "effect"... but time to call it quits.

Missouri awaits.

You're willing to still stand up and say "Free Palestine" whilst choosing to ignore a load of factors and that's not including any of the progressive values I suspect you to hold.

As far as I am concerned, I have now put the world to rights. Solved the Israeli situation. They should leave and go to Missouri, the US will happily give them a State.and save themselves hundreds upon hundreds of billions in supplying Israelies with arms and what not.


When the rapture comes a few can stay to fullfill whatever prophecy to keep the US Evangelical lot happy, the rest can live and love happily and peacefully, under the stars..surrounded by the rumblin tumblin weeds.

All you have to do is give up. Let go.

It's bollox. We have a few Ukranians fleeing war. They are virtually invisible but some bad actors are trying to leverage it to make a point about immigration and housing. Mostly shinners who purport to be left wing but many are actually right wing nationalists hiding in plain sight in Sinn Fein. Other immigration is at normal levels for everywhere though you get the bullshit stories about 150 muslim single men moving into a hotel in the countryside. Most of our immigrants work unlike many of our working class who are generationally unemployed yet most put out by the presence of the Indians and black lads. We have had some halfarsed efforts at BLM movements but we just don't have enough of anybody for it to catch on. I think the far right in Ireland wishes we had a bigger problem than we do. That's not to say it couldn't ignite. I never in a million years thought the Shinners could be a viable political party and they will probably form the next goverment so things move quickly
It's mad to think that Ireland would even have a far right though. There's a few videos flying about of local lads getting pelters from non-local lads and vice versa but no context to the videos.

I think it's good to talk.

Apart from the massacres in 1190 in York and and London, most in part contributed too by the religious fervour of the Crusades the UK has generally been a welcoming place for Jews with over approximately 200,000 arriving and settling during the 19th century.

The problems we see are in the ME today are because of Islam, not because of the modern state of Israel. The Jews returned to their historical homeland, a homeland that existed millenia before the rise of Islam. I would like you to tell me why you think this is wrong?

Isn't it a bit rich to be talking about western values when Europeans killed Jews in pogroms across an entire millenia culminating in the Holocaust? At various times Jews were actually expelled from countries on the continent.

It's just a bit nauseating hearing westerners and Europeans speaking from some assumed position of moral superiority when its own history of anti semitism is so well documented.
That’s such a stupid strawman.

Do you judge the German people of today, like they are all nazis?
It wasn't just Nazis who killed Jews, they were killed throughout Europe over many centuries. Banished from Spain, France and England at various times.

It's the smug, self congratulatory nature of thinking that the west has superior values that grates.
You're absolutely right so yeah go ahead and turn Gaza into a multi storey car park.

We do when it comes to many issues. It was called the enlightenment. I can recommend some books that explains its impact on Western Society. I can also get you a few books on the 20th century and the Civil and social rights movements. They se3m to have passed you by
Europe has reinvented itself a hub of tolerance and progressivism in the past 75 years but only after it pulled the world into the most destructive conflict in the history of the planet. A conflict that in part led to the creation of the modern state of Israel and the problems that we see in the ME today.
The problems we see are in the ME today are because of Islam, not because of the modern state of Israel. The Jews returned to their historical homeland, a homeland that existed millenia before the rise of Islam. I would like you to tell me why you think this is wrong?
Nothing you have written in this post reflects what I have written. What do you think I wrote?

Europeans killed Jews for centuries necessitating their need for a homeland as a refuge from persecution. Would you be honest enough to admit that the so called holier than thou west played its part in creating the problems in the ME?

You’ve just reiterated what I was saying by doing it again, but worse. Now you are driving back to even further back centuries to compare. As opposed to looking at the Western Europeans alive today.
