Current Affairs Israel is an apartheid state

[Wat Tyler]

There’s a difference between the state of Israel and Jewish people in general. Obviously you know that….

That’s an anti semitic statement he makes

Yeah, let's keep it an echo chamber.

Would prefer it if genocidal maniacs like you weren’t here tbh

This is worth a read if the pager attack is of interest.

The implications of this attack stretch far beyond Hezbollah to future threats.

It is clearly not anti-semitic.

 

[Wat Tyler]

It is clearly not anti-semitic.

He is Weaponising anti-semitism. In effect he is saying all Jews support Israel’s ghastly genocidal policies.

 

[tsubaki]

It is clearly not anti-semitic.

It clearly is, at least according to the IHRA definition;

“Holding Jews collectively responsible for actions of the state of Israel.”

2 kids murdered now in yesterdays terrorist attack by the child-killers

One investigation looked at four weeks of BBC One’s daytime coverage of Israel’s onslaught in Gaza starting from 7 October.

It found journalists drew on the words “murder”, “murderous”, “mass murder”, “brutal murder” and “merciless murder” a total of 52 times to refer to Israelis’ deaths – but never in relation to Palestinian deaths.

 

[Wat Tyler]

A maniac state, utterly maniacal.

Don’t worry, I am sure USA, UK and the EU will call for “calm from all sides” and insist Israel has “the right to defend itself.”

Meanwhile, the landgrabbers just carry out attack after attack after attack on other countries. Sickening.

The UK’s Foreign Office has said “We continue to monitor the situation in Lebanon closely and the UK is working with diplomatic and humanitarian partners in the region. The civilian casualties following these explosions are deeply distressing. We urge calm heads and de-escalation at this critical time.”

Irish Government continues to act responsibly regarding Gaza. Not a fan of any of the parties in Government but credit where it is due.

Plan to bring 30 children from Gaza to Ireland approved

Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly has secured Government approval to bring 30 "very sick children" injured in Gaza to Ireland for medical care.

Credit to them yes. Thought it was interesting yesterday that Ireland got the Justice, Democracy, and Rule of Law portfolio in the New European Commission. Ireland and Spain have been pushing the commission, and have been ignored, for a review of the EU-Israel trade agreement. Not sure what Commissioner McGraths brief extends to, but if it's "Rule of Law" then I'm sure there are provisions for sanctions and penalties in the trade agreements under these conditions, if only sufficient energy was brought in enforcing them.

TBF I think this is probably much less a breach of international law than everything they’ve done in Gaza has been.

It still might be illegal but at this has a degree of genuine targeting to it, albeit some children and civilians were injured as well. You can’t say that about nearly all of the rest.

Very targeted, unlike the terrible stuff in Gaza

Very targeted, unlike the terrible stuff in Gaza

It's about as targeted as a bomb in a shopping centre. It's a straight up terrorist attack.

The footage of the bloke buying fruits and then getting his own blown off was incredible. Like something out of James Bond.
