That is a very good article and brings out the complexity of blame. I thought the last line covered my views…”The only solution will come when not only is Hamas disarmed but the Palestinian people have some kind of alternative future.”
A disingenuous view. Disarm and negate any future activity from Hamas but “ some kind of alternative future” for the Palestinians needs a bit more work.
Not having any land stolen against international law and not having your essential services controlled by others probably ought to be offered as a very minimum.

Unfortunately, while bibi is there at least, there is no alternative future. Hams could disappear tomorrow but the misery for the people of palestine would continue. There is absolutely no way Bibi allows a two-state solution, non at all. If he did it would mean international recognition for Palestine and then in turn their push for the return of homes and lands. This is what makes me laugh (cry) people like you and twattara going on about a two state solution like it is the answer, it isn't, it really isnt. All that happens and will happen is more settlements, land grabs and misery but it makes the apologists feel good.
 
A good piece and set of comments on the 'left' issue.

Nuanced, recognises the 'blame' isn't a binary thing and makes the point thoughtfully whilst expressing understandable hurt.

Zat and D Cahill take note, this is how you do it.
Quite a good read, I like the author, and there's some food for thought there, but I didn't agree with the last bit.

"“We don’t see a campaign of just obliterating Gaza,” he said. “The situation of the Palestinian population is horrific but at least it is clear that Israel is not intending to kill as many civilians as possible. This is not what the Assad regime did in Homs and Aleppo. The only solution will come when not only is Hamas disarmed but the Palestinian people have some kind of alternative future.”

They are obliterating Gaza, ministers have stated this as their goal. They have murdered in excess of 5000, a third of them children, injured tens of thousands, displaced over a million people in order to kill, as far as anyone can tell so far, 13 Hamas members, and they've only just begun. Netanyahu is Assad.

The last sentence amounts to little more than a platitude.
 
Not only is this Israeli company asking their staff to publish pro-israeli propaganda on their personal social media, they've sacked an employee for criticism of the Israeli carpet bombing of Gaza

See you in court, Irish law is pretty specific about what you can be fired for and what you cant.




There's been pretty strong attacks from the Israeli embassy at Irelands position on Palestine all week. Most of it without any semblance of reality or Irelands past.

Strangely, I see the stance on Irelan by Israel as akin to these nouveau football supporters who think the game started with the Premier League and Sky, like some posters here too. Absolutely no recognition or awareness of history relative to the subject. And, ironically nothing but 'ancient' history in regards to Israel's belonging to the land they occupy.

Yes, it does perhaps speak of a particular perspective. Who knows quite what they're picking up on in terms of what is actually happening.

However, in a sea of frothing rage and one sided shouting it is refreshing to see some acknowledgement of the complexity of the problem.

It also respectfully makes the point of feeling disappointed without reverting to calling folk nazis etc.

TBH I dont think there is any nuance in it, its just 'flood the zone stuff'
 
Israels's attempt at coercion and influence of any member who speaks from anything other than a rabid zionist poin of view is a signal of what a disgusting government currently operates in that nation.
I completely agree.

Even a puppet of the West like the UN Gen Sec has had to come out and defend himself from that filth.
