Current Affairs Israel is an apartheid state

I've just read a post on FB by an Israeli friend of mine who has been displaced by Hezbollah, about how everyone's mad at each other and she's scared, and how important it is for friends to just put a reassuring arm around each other at the moment. She grew up on a Moshav near the Lebanese border, and is currently living near Be'er Sheba, wondering when she might go home and get on with her life. Two young kids. NGL it made me well sad. She's been on the streets protesting against Netanyahu, and some of the posts she makes about the remaining hostages are pretty grim, some of them are so young..

It's important not to dehumanise people, whatever side they're on.
 
Terrorist leader to you and me, a freedom fighter to Palestinians. What he did on October 7th is without compare but, you cannot do what Israel does and not expect reaction I guess.

From elsewhere:

'If we must die, we die defending our rights
— Sitting Bull

Yahya Sinwar was not a ‘terrorist’ he was a freedom fighter. He died as a champion of the cause of the Palestinian people, which is the cause of humanity in our time.

His last moments on this earth, caught on camera, involved him throwing a stick at an Israeli drone. The symbolism of this final act of defiance cannot be overstated. Here was the rebel leader of an indigenous people refusing to die meekly at the feet of his and their settler colonial oppressor'

You do realise prior to 7th October was a ceasefire? It was Hamas who broke it?
 
Not really. 2023 had already been the deadliest year for Palestinians since Operation Cast Lead prior to October 7th because Benjamin Netanyahu invited fascists into his government in order to stay out of jail.

250 dead from my understanding?

I read prior to 7th October, a ceasefire brokered by Egypt and Saudi was in place, with Hamas allowing small splinter cells to keep up attacks - sceptics belive the ceasefire was in place purely to enable Hamas to plan the 7th October attacks.

Sinwar had been planning October 7th for years.

I'm not sure it would've happened if the security services hadn't been preoccupied with the degenerating situation in the West Bank because of Ben-Gvir and Smotrich.
 
Seen as I'm on ignore prevenger won't see this.. it would appear that Hamas can do what they want to Isreal as they should be granted immunity because they hide behind civilians.. kill civilians in Isreal run off and hide behind your own civilians and Isreal can't do anything. Is that really what we are looking for here? And apparently I'm the crazy one for suggesting that Hamas tactics have added greatly to the death toll... 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
Christ on a bike mate how can you be so obtuse?

And also, please learn how to spell Israel.

I've given everyone an opportunity to have me put the thread on ignore, nobody has taken it.. what should Israel do? When terrorists attack them and then move into populated areas to hide? Answer that without resorting to whataboutry and I'm gone from here.

Targeting Childhood: Palestinian children killed by Israeli forces and settlers in the occupied West Bank,” details and analyzes Palestinian child fatalities in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, between October 7, 2023, and July 31, 2024. Israeli forces routinely targeted Palestinian children with live ammunition and aerial attacks, prevented ambulances and paramedics from reaching wounded children, and confiscated children’s bodies in violation of international law.

“Israeli forces are killing Palestinian children with calculated brutality and cruelty all throughout the occupied Palestinian territory,” said Khaled Quzmar, general director at DCIP. “The international community must act urgently to enact an arms embargo and sanctions to protect Palestinian children’s lives.”

In this report, evidence and documentation collected by DCIP indicate that Israeli forces are deliberately targeting Palestinian children with the intent to unleash cruel and degrading treatment up until the moment of the child’s death. Israeli authorities, which have the ability to hold Israeli soldiers and military officials accountable, are unwilling to take action to stop the killing of Palestinian children.
