Current Affairs Israel is an apartheid state

That‘s the thing with wars and high levels of death, the high numbers sort of get put aside. It only really hits people when it comes down to an individual death perpetrated in the cruelest of actions….

Bad news. Then you consider that some Palestinian family was probably wiped out today just because they live there. Always the same in these conflicts, everyone suffers.
True.
 
Israel has just killed more children in 3 weeks then in all conflicts that has taken place since 2019.

...and that is from Save the Children Fund NOT Hamas. Just to be clear, it is total annual or per annum in each year not cumulative total - it is still an absolute disgrace and is war crime.

The number of children reported killed in just three weeks in Gaza is more than the number killed in armed conflict globally – across more than 20 countries – over the course of a whole year, for the last three years.

 
None of us are justifying terrorism or kidnapping by Hamas.

The Israeli Government response is grossly disproportionate, with some 8,000 people including some 4000 children dead and hundreds of thousands homeless.

The late Rabbi Goldberg in the Dispatches doc of 2009 clearly says that Israel is conducting apartheid policies. They had also invaded Gaza in 08/09, killing some 1400 people.

This is exponentially worse than that, and that was an atrocity.

Israel is making itself a pariah in international terms, rejecting the eeasonable resolution supported by 121 members, calling it 'infamy'.

The International Criminal Court is now examining what has happened in Gaza and by Hamas on Oct 7th.

But of course Israel is not a member of the ICC!!

I feel so sad and helpless looking at this tragedy. All I can do is pray that the slaughter and suffering comes to an end quickly.

Finally, in the 30 years of the Northern Ireland ,'Troubles', there were tragically many deaths on all sides.

In those 30 years the total deaths were about 3,500 - 3500 too many. But less than half the total killed already in a few weeks in Gaza.

That is a chilling fact.
:confused:
But isn't that what I said?
 
I quess you know better than president of the Israel then.

Everyone who saw that footage of her body on the back of the truck knows more than the president of Israel. At least when that was filmed she was not beheaded, totally or partially and to be honest it worries me that they would say something so easily disprovable and the media wouldn't call them on it.
