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

So the egregious thing is trying to rise the Israeli's, not what Israel is doing? Right…….

There's actually no hoop jumping required tbh cause in your very next post you say…

Which is exactly what I've said, giving OP a free pass on what they want to do. A Holocaust has been committed against you, here's your pass for one free genocide. The world will not only turn a blind eye, we'll ply you with weapons to "finish the job".

You're right, history didn't start in 196(7) nor 1948. Nor with the white paper of 1939, nor the Balfour Declaration of 1917. Perhaps you could say the persecution of the Palestinians has its origins with the drawing of the Sykes-Picot agreement in 1916. Before that there was little animosity between Palestinian Arabs and Jews under Ottoman rule. So tell me why are the Palestinians paying the price for generations of western antisemitism?

Oh and its pretty dangerous to confuse Judaism with Zionism, which is why many Jews around the world are distancing themselves from OP. Cause you know to conflate the two is exactly the type of thing which enforces antisemitism. Not great…. if you did it consciously.

That's fine. You can equally support Russia's right to assassinate any Ukrainian (or other nationality) seeking refuge within the EU once they claim that the target was a "terrorist leader". You may take my earlier example of a commander of a "Nazi" Azov brigade as an example.

You see, your issue really is that you have "picked a team". And all objectivity (and principles and morals) has gone out the window. It matters not what Israel does, as long as they do it to the "other team". Destroying any sort of infrastructure or capital, whether physical or human, is fine with you. Because it achieves its purpose and subjugates the "other team". Members of the IDF being exposed for gang-raping a Palestinian man probably doesn't even register for you. You can other the victim as a "terrorist" and award medals to the perpetrators. And then dismiss any hatred the man or his family has for said IDF as being rooted in antisemitism. Rinse and repeat.

It's an absolutely bizarre comparison to make. It's apparently ok for the Israeli state to assassinate a Palestinian official on Iranian territory via a missile because someone yank tried to have a potshot at the bigliest ex President in history.

No, the idf soldiers who rape people are scum. That's awful. Rape as a weapon of war is wrong. Hamas are also scum who used rape as a weapon of war. I know it's a vicious cycle, I don't know what the solution is. The fact is though that haniyeh is a terrorist by all definitions of the word. The whole world recognises him as such. It is anti semitism when he says he wants to wipe the jews off the earth. He isn't a freedom fighter. And I'm glad that the people I know personally might have some closure now, after their relatives were murdered, tortured and raped by hamas.

Im confused. People were asking why Israel didn't target Hamas leaders who are outside of Gaza and actually running Hamas. If Israel wanted to end Hamas, that's the way.

Now we have Israel taking out a Hamas leader in Iran and the same people are now complaining?

And the comparisons to Russia taking out a Ukranian in Russia etc... is ridiculous, would a more suitable comparison not be the US taking out Bin Laden in Pakistan?

What am I missing?

Would the general population of Palestine not be happy with the fact that this guy was killed. I would assume they are not big fans of Hamas for what happened in October.

You are back to not being able to read and comprehend posts. Either that or deliberately trying to create strawmen to troll. Take a few minutes to read what you are replying to in future.

And the Olympic medal for mental gymnastics goes to … erm Donal Trump of course

Daft, just daft stuff

Look, it's completely fine if you can't understand principles and consequences beyond "bad man dead - that good".

Did you support the Israeli use of cloned Irish passports to commit extra-territorial assassinations in the past?

What do you mean, why wait so long? Remember he was in hiding Dubai or somewhere else in the uae? Obviously they aren't going to go after him there. Why do people on here have such short memories? He left and they got him. Again...what's the issue here.

Remember the last time israel did the same sort of surgical attack and were still given **** for it? I do. Same old story.

Fair enough. I think you've proved my point.

It was well publicised that he was in Qatar. But Qatar has money and a strong relationship with the US. So they weren't going to go after him there. So called principles don't really matter to some when the dollar is involved. Escalating the situation by attacking on a different sovereign nation is ok though as that will help keep the dollars rolling in.

Highlighting analogies between what Russia does and what Israel does could only be understood to be support of Russia by someone who is a blindly loyal zionist supporter. If your definition of "perfectly fine" is "well Israel did it so it must be fine by definition" then I could possibly see how you could arrive at that conclusion. A normal person could not arrive there though

So I can't tell whether you are trolling, or just unable to read and comprehend posts.
