The 29 UN workers murdered by Israel were doing vital and important work

100% agree. I should of reworded my statement as it was aimed at the UN Security Council.

There are thousands of Soldiers like this. No doubt taking part in the killing and harassment of civilians will do this to the least brainwashed members of a force.

Good on him.

Takes some guts to do what he did. He must be under constant threat too even though he lives in Norway now.

It's a bit dated, it doesn't show the path of the wall, which annexes swathes of land beyond the "Green Line", or the matrix of Israeli-only roads which dissect it, or the checkpoints which add so much misery to Palestinian lives.

It does show who which areas are controlled by and where the settlements are though, and the difficulty they pose for any semblance of a contiguous Palestinian state on the West Bank.

It amazes me that people see these maps and still stand with Israel

Breaking the Silence is a fantastic and brave organisation. The Israeli government would shut them down given half a chance, and indeed has been trying to for some time.

The Girl Who Stole My Holocaust is one of the most illuminating and earth-shatteringly moving books I've ever read. Highly recommended.

I just feel that some people seem to think that the sun shines out of Israels arsehole and they do everything they can to make excuses for the mindless slaughter they commit on an hourly basis.

If you condemn Israel you are either an antisemite or you support a terrorist org, seems to be the gist I get from the whole internet.

never seen nothing like it israel talk to the rest of the world like there daft even the news channels deep down must think hang on a minute , that’s one of the reasons i dislike israel so much is there arrogance what type of country uses a event like the holocaust to just do what they want there scum

 

[Ferguson1878]

Israel have had some crap governments and the latest is one of the more extreme. I just can’t help feeing though that today no one would be dying if Hamas hadn’t done what they did….

except for the palestinians they where getting killed daily before all this

Won't be the first time the abused become the abuser. Same applies to those who subscribe to Hamas.

I just read Erdogan's words there and he's cancelled a trip to the apartheid state to rub those words in.
