Current Affairs Israel is an apartheid state

I had an interesting chat with an Israeli taxi driver a few years back when I was in Tel Aviv on business. He asked me where I was from and then went off on a rant about Muslims - calling them dogs who must be killed. He then stopped, paused and corrected himself and then said dogs can be trained and can be useful whilst the Muslim cannot and therefore as a wild animal must be hunted and killed.

I was shocked that

a/ A jew could talk openly about genocide

b/ How one race views another as sub-human animals.

I don’t hold out too many hopes for peace with those kind of views floating around.
I remember discussing with Dave a few years ago about how I sometimes relate Israel to a school yard bully. It's a simplistic argument and he disagreed, but...

Jews have been persecuted for centuries and this eventually cultivated the horror that was the genocide. Rightly or wrongly, this'll have had an adverse effect.

A child who has been bullied is twice as likely to be a bully themselves, with many psychologists relating it to defence mechanism; trauma is another big factor.

Has this seeped into the wider Israeli psyche due to the traumas they have faced? I'm not excusing their behaviour, far from it, but trying to understand it.

The views you talk about could quite easily have been said during the genocide or the pogroms, which makes it even more horrific - they should know better.

No, they must know better.
 
What did you expect them to say lol

Not of the same building, but this is footage of a different building being attacked... a bank linked to Hamas. The ground-level footage does show that the paths and streets around the targeted building are deserted. The group of men watching know what's coming. So, this footage does suggest that advanced warning was given. Hopefully, no civilians were in there.

 
It seems it did contain residential flats so could/should be classified as a war crime.
To put it bluntly, they wont care care one iota about yourself and others calling it a war crime as, to put it bluntly, they have repeatedly shown to breach the rules.

The mentality of Israel and the IDF is that they are fighting for their survival - from extermination - so they will do whatever it takes to maintain their position.

They're bombing buildings that include international press; they're using M109 self-propelled artillery to bombard urban areas.
 
I was talking to Tipp Blue. No surprise to see you revelling in the mass murder of different coloured people again though, you absolute stain on the arse of humanity xx

It's a discussion forum. If you want to talk to Tipp Blue only, send him a private message. Just because I disagree and think this is not genocide, doesn't mean I'm 'revelling in mass murder'. What an abhorrent thing to suggest. xxx

Israelis are taught that the whole world hates them and that they're under constant existential threat. They're a brutalised people.

Soz mate, I think you misunderstood. I'm not suggesting it, I'm saying it outright. You have, on numerous occasions, rejoiced in the murder of defenceless black, and now arabic, people. Your stance on things does not surprise me.

I think you're an utter bellend and if you don't have the same stomach for words on a screen as you do for the slaughter of black people and kids, then you're welcome to put me on ignore on this here discussion forum. Xxx

Conscription and military training probably doesn't help either. Without excusing their actions, you can objectively appreciate where it may stem from.

However, you can't excuse how they've twisted and warped the view to allow them to be the aggressors.
