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

I see Pakistan v Iran is now a thing

Here you go again...

You really need to get yourself out of that rant mode and cop on. You can continue to have a moan at each and every poster who posts something you don't like. Or you can maturely debate the subject matter.

Or just ignore the outliers.

But you've made your bed it seems.

Perhaps give everyone your thoughts on the IDF, Israeli statements they will reduce the campaign, then increase it, the ICJ case, the humanitarian situation etc...

War crimes by Israel continue to rack up.

"Israel has stepped up its assault on Khan Younis in southern Gaza, pushing tanks westwards and prompting accusations from Jordan that its field hospital in the city had been badly damaged by nearby shelling.

The Jordanian army said it held Israel responsible for a "flagrant breach of international law" in what it said was the damage to the facility as a result of Israeli shelling in the vicinity. There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military."

IDF doesn't even respect the dead.

If the ICJ are keeping a watching brief on events since SA submitted their evidence in December, any notion they had of either not specifying interim measures or not finding Israel guilty of genocide must be rapidly dwindling.

For those still alive, Israel appears to be happy enough to starve them to death.

The ad-hoc Israeli judge must be horrified and mortified.

From CNN

• Israeli forces are moving toward a key hospital in southern Gaza, prompting patients and sheltering civilians to flee. "The hospital is shaking and there is panic," a doctor said from Khan Younis.
• At least 10,600 children have been killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza since October 7, the Hamas-run health ministry said. The UN emergency relief chief warned Israel's war has brought famine with "such incredible speed." Meanwhile, the Gaza Strip has been under a near-total internet blackout since Friday.

It would be extremely foolish to expect that someone in Gaza who has lost a family member because of IDF actions to say ' Ah that's alright, carry on'. People would want Justice but not get it from the Israelis and of course would turn towards Hamas in order to get retribution. To think otherwise would be very foolish. This is why the ranks of Hames will swell rather than diminish as many posters have already stated.

The Israelis created Hamas and are now ensuring that it stays and actually grows. Amazing that they don't see this .... or maybe they do.

If you want to know who the specific poster is was then, yes, as I am happy that’s the case as presumably are the other posters who thanked that particular post of mine.

For the avoidance of doubt I am not accusing you of supporting Hamas.

I state this in case it’s me you have in mind in this post!

Israeli press not impressed.

Haaretz is behind a paywall. I believe there is a method (archive) to retrieve these articles.

Here are a selected few lines:

"It was very lucky for Israel that South Africa chose to accuse it specifically of genocide, a crime that's almost impossible to prove in court. Or maybe it wasn't luck, but necessity. After all, that was the only way to force Israel to show up promptly at the International Court of Justice, in the hope that the court would issue a few provisional orders with teeth.

But South Africa thereby gave Israel a golden opportunity to rise up in photogenic outrage over the accusation that Jews – Jews! – are committing genocide, and so divert the discussion from all the other atrocities it is perpetrating in the Gaza Strip."

"Israel's Army Drafted and Armed Thousands of Settlers. Accounts of Their Violence Are Piling Up"

"For Arab Israelis, Even Wartime Patriotism Is Not a Shield From Unvarnished Racism

One would imagine that if failing to support Israel during the war would damage Arab-Israeli women's careers, then, conversely, those who support Israel's cause would be rewarded, not punished. But this week's news about TV personality Lucy Aharish shows hostility toward Arabs crosses political lines"

Well the Gazans didn't bomb the Jordanian hospital or any other hospital or kill 10,000 children or nuns or Press etc.

It seems like a lot of hot air from them. Did they make this sort of threat when the US military were were carrying out drone strikes against threats to their national security in Pakistan? What is the difference exactly?

....

Wrong thread?

Thanks Nacho, yes wrong thread, but its removed now.i

If you mean I quoted you quoting them, that's not true.

Not have I accused you of supporting Hamas. I've said that you're not describing what actually happened earlier.

Unless of course you mean someone else entirely - but since you said I had a poor memory when I said previously that I'd never said you replied directly to the Hamas supporter, I suspect it's me you meant. But I never said that.
