Current Affairs Israel is an apartheid state

[tsubaki]

In today's "saying the quiet part out loud" news:

IDF Maj-Gen (ret.) Giora Eiland, a former IDF operations chief and ex-head of the National Security Council, tells Channel 12 he believes Israel is in “an existential war.” As such, the impact on civilians in the enemy state next door may need to be extremely high but would still be considered “proportionate.”

He quotes the former prime minister Ariel Sharon saying, “The Jews have the right to live, too.”

Israel has to decide which is more essential, he says: “To look good in the eyes of the West or to terrify the Middle East environment?”

Ex-general: Allow a brief ceasefire and aid to enter Gaza, but only if Red Cross visits hostages and Shifa is evacuated

Repulsive statement

Bordering on sociopathic

 

[Blue 1]

Seeing proper military work by IDF. Tunnels popping up. Hamas cancer being rooted out of that land. Cost is crushingly high but this is necessary.

One grim specimen, you.

another report about how the Israelis were not, in fact, taken completely by surprise:

Surveillance soldiers warned of Hamas activity on Gaza border for months before Oct. 7

Survivors of massacre on IDF base say they passed information up the chain of command on digging, mapping, training near the fence long before mass onslaught, but were ignored

When you listen to the language they use to describe Palestinians, it's clear all they were waiting for was a pretext to seize Gaza. Everything else is just collateral to the Zionists.

The tragedy of the Israel-Palestine conflict is that it’s a clash of right v right | Jonathan Freedland

This isn’t a contest of heroes and villains – but two peoples in deep pain, fated to share the same land, says the Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland

If you wish to learn more about NI and its transition from war zone to peace then go do your own research. Start a thread even once you’re clued up.

However, let’s not remove the focus of this thread which is the slaughter of innocents on an industrial scale.

So you dont know. You just follow someone elses opinion like a sheep.

You cant seem to answer a single question or give a reasonable balanced view.

Just happy to insult others but suggest "discussion" as a (failed) solution.

Ironic.

War on terror is absolutely horrible yes. Israel has continuously urged civilians to flee to south. Propaganda is also ever present so be aware.

A UN resolution calling for an immediate humanitarian truce and aid access to Gaza passed in the General Assembly yesterday afternoon, over the strongest objections from the member state of Israel.

An amendment proposed by Canada, to condemn the Hamas attacks on 7 October and call for the unconditional release of Israeli hostages, failed to be adopted.

The vote came hours after Israel had announced it would begin its ground invasion of Gaza overnight.

Long-running Israel-UN tensions boil over

Long-running tensions between the UN and Israel boiled over this week with the Israeli ambassador calling for the immediate resignation of the Secretary General. But it is not the first time relations have soured.

Ireland supported the motion. which had 120 in favour.

14 against against the resolution include Israel and its closest ally, the United States, five Pacific island nations and four European countries — Austria, Croatia, Czechia and Hungary, all European Union members. Eight EU members voted in favour.

45 countries – including Australia, the UK, Germany, India and Canada – abstained from voting.

Of course Israel has dismissed the vote.... quelle4 surprise!

See what you have said there is a statement of opinion, what you said about murdering thousands being necessary is a statement of opinion. These are not statements of fact and you are hiding behind the concept of your distastful opinions being facts when they are not. Its a paper thin attempt from you to avoid being accountable from your opinions advocting the deaths of thousands of innocents.

erm, Finland Alliance with Germany was made out of necessity against threat of Russia. Later we fuged up germans and drove them out of the country so sit down and dont try to teach me about my countrys history.
Israel is fighting against Hamas now. And Hamas will be soon done.

Can understand, given the relationship between Finland and German nearly a century ago, where your politics and way of thinking comes from.
It's what makes you such a bellend
