Hamas strike on Israel - Threadbans in op - mod warning in OP updated 19/10/23

I’m not going to take “sides” here- both sides have committed atrocities - and indeed the Gaza Strip as a concentration camp is not just Israel’s doing - either side could have voted for peace and worked to maintain peace many years ago and they didn’t - so we are where we are- atrocity building on more atrocity - I’m not going to waste energy criticising one or indeed both sides- we all know the history and we’re now here today - shouting but but but doesn’t really do anything for me- I’ve had decades of war news thrown at me- I think I’m immune to the shock of it all at this stage- they’ll do whatever they want to do because they always have

The best thing for the Israelis maybe. Why would should the Palestinians be exiled? I understand that Israeli won the war they want to enjoy the spoils of war so want to treat the Palestinians like they were centuries ago, dispersed all around the world but I dont think this is going to happen. Lucky the English didnt do that with the Irish.

Israelis deserve the right to their own determination ON THEIR OWN LAND. Not in Russia or Germany or anywhere else. But on their land. Land which Palestine steals.

What you're proposing is merely ethnic cleansing.

See what I did there, I reflected back at you the problem. Palestinians in the form of Hamas want to wash the Jewish state of Israel from the face of the earth, and all who live in it.

I’m thinking you’re one of those people who fixate entirely on the wrongs committed by the Israelis so I’ll stop after this but read your own comment again and look at what happened on Sunday. Can you imagine what would happen Israel if Hamas had access to the Israelis level of weaponry? Because then there actually would be the genocide you mentioned and the Israeli population sure as hell wouldn’t of doubled in the last 20 years.

Can’t hope they might be released, that this might stop, no? Wish them a quick death, just awful commentary.

I can hope that they'll be released. But they won't be.

Their captors are not above beheading, immolation, mutilation and much, much worse.

Video linked is showing a building being blown up from street level. Important to share I think - No casualties can be seen in the video I believe.

Absolutely shocking stuff - I would not advise looking through the forum that that video is from, it does not censor anything.

It can happen in places like Northern Ireland or Bosnia, with the right people in charge. It may happen alright that Palestinians are forced to leave and some other country may take them ,it just seems a very unlikely scenario to be resting the hope for peace on. To be blunt they don't want to leave and no one wants to accept them.

In the meantime Israel gets to treat part of the population under their control like dirt.

ethnic cleansing is where they kill those 187000 people before they leave their homes -

The entire Muslim world will be up in arms (literally and figuratively) at the response the Israelis are going to make. Saudi will have to be seen to “side” with the Muslim world and on doing so the deal and the thawing relations that have been ongoing the last while will be dead in the water. That’s a fairly obvious geo-political result of this Hamas attack.

Also my actual point in raising the Saudis was to another posters childish “genocide” comment. As if there weren’t dozens of reasons to call this kind of talk out the fact the Israelis have been actively pursuing better relations with certain Muslim actors in the region only further illustrates how bad the timing of this whole situation is for Israel.
