The point I am trying to make is that Hamas are a shower of bastards. What they stand for, whether you believe it is the annihilation of Israel at most extreme or a fundamentalist Muslim state in Palestine at the most basic, is something deeply concerning. These are not āfreedom fightersā, they are anything but.
In terms of Israel, any country that pulls electricity (indeed has put themselves in the position to be able to do it) on a hospital indiscriminately on innocent civilians is beyond words. Utterly disgusting. The sight of those premature babies yesterday. The definition of innocence. Helplessness.
Few shops in Ennistymon are donating the proceeds of sales on Black Friday to the relief effort in Palestine. Saw some notices on doors there yesterday. Nice touch
Itās a bit amusing that yer man writing that says āIt has become publicly, a black and white issue, without any nuance allowed in public discourseā about the Germans when essentially heās taken the same approach except from the other side.
The whole of the article for a start shows absolutely no nuance but just to pick out one example of his non-nuanced approach he says āSupport for the Palestinian people, of which, over 13,000 people have been killed by Israel in their stated war against Hamas after the October 7th kidnapping of 250 people and the attacks at the Nova Music festival,ā -
now I would have thought that at the very least mentioning how many were murdered on Oct 7th might be a reasonable thing to do here - or even mentioning that some were murdered at all ā¦
Lads like @glasagusban who have been callling for hate speech legislation have absolutely no problem with people marching through the streets chanting āfrom the river to the seaā which is a direct call for genocide of Jews. You coudlnāt make it up.
I think itās a bit much from you to be expecting a music blogger/journalist to cover all angles of the politics. Heās not wrong about censorship in Germany and heās further not wrong that support for Palestine is not antisemitic or in any way wrong.
Another example of the garbled mind of the leftist. āFrom the river to the seaā is not a humantarian support slogan for Palestinians, itās a direct call for genocide of Jews and direct support for the aims and methods of Hamas.
Heās a music journo, he mentioned the attacks and number kidnapped, that he didnāt reference the number killed means heās treated it as a black and white issue without any nuance? Thatās quite a stretch. Would you ever come off it. His essential point was about the censorship.
