@croppy_boy thatâs a decent post and i want to reply to it properly, ill do it later as ive been up since 2-30am after my youngfella decided he didnt want to sleep post a bunch of rocket sirens and explosions over the city, cant blame him i suppose
as others have already asked, why dont you get out of there? Would you se yourself staying there longterm, or do you have many ties now to the place?
What are the other sand bagger nations doing in regards to this?
All gone very quiet on the ISIS lads. What are they up to these days?
[QUOTE=âcroppy, post: 991229, member: 230â]Mickee you have made a few points suggesting wrongs on both sides and the like. This is a common enough type of reasoning that people like to apply to conflicts to show some sort of balance and it allows them to dodge having a firm opinion on resolving the issues. It also creates some sort of equality of wrongs so that it all squares off nicely. Military superpower Israelâs destruction of the 3rd world shithole it pushed the Palestinians into should not get this easy treatment.
Fact is Hamas were democratically elected by the people of gaza. If there was a vote tomorrow in gaza they would win again. You have pointed out a fair few times that they have in their charter the destruction of Israel. They had this in their charter when they were elected. Irish republicans will say that they will never accept brit rule in the 6 counties and were committed to using force to fight it but through compromise they have power sharing and peace. Just because Hamas have laid out their stall saying if Israel didnât exist it would be better for all, does not make them terrorists.
Hamas are absolutely 100% right to launch rockets at Israel. They have taken more than enough from Israel over recent years and need to make life uncomfortable enough that the Israeli government need to start real negotiations. I applaud their fight, itâs regrettable that this is the only avenue open to them but Abbas and fattah show that the Uncle Tom route gets you nowhere.
Israel has a firm grip on the media reporting.
This human shields crap is an easy propaganda defence for lobbing bombs into a densely populated city.
How many stooges have rolled out the lines about the tunnels? Does anyone really believe the shelling of hospitals is really about some poxy tunnels?
I take your point about it seeming like the world needs some Jews to die to level things up, of course Israel is going to use the iron dome or whatever it has to defend itself.
However this is a conflict of one occupying power shitting all over the natives for the last 70 years and still refusing to get anywhere close to talking about a realistic solution. This is the plantation of ulster all over again. They need to be brought to their knees economically and face chaos and mass casualties if necessary to understand that they need to come to an accommodation with the people they usurped or else deal with the consequences.
Also role of US in backing them is shameful. Worse again is the history of the brits who left the place in fucking heap when they pulled out.
Hard to have any sympathy for Israel while they refuse to even entertain a 2 state solution. I say fuck them till they cop on and good luck to the elected government of the besieged people of gaza.[/QUOTE]
A good post but you forgot to mention the time when @thedancingbaby ate his own shit in Glasgow.
dunno, last i heard in Mosul they told all Christians to either pay a fine, convert or be killed⌠theyâve also destroyed half the Syrian army
Theyâre staging regular all night orgies where they snort chalk and obtain sexual gratification from pictures of mutilated female genitalia.
ISIS, ISIS, baby. The baddest motherfuckers in all of Cali (phate).
Did you see the conspiracy that they were Israeli trained or at least their leader was?
The self pity in show here is laughable.
And you follow suit to get summed by me.
Money and greed Gman. Why else?
Chilling in Mosul, preparing to assault Baghdad. Given that they routed 30,000 Iraqi Army soldiers with 800 men in Mosul youâd have to fancy their chances.
Will they have the necessary momentum to win the battle of Baghdad or will gaining control of Mosul have taken too much out of them? How have they been playing the media game? Are they talking up their chances, being diplomatic and saying theyâre quietly confident if they fight to their potential, or playing the poor mouth and trying to make Iraqi Government forces complacent?
One of the back room team, Abu Mohammed al-Adnani, recently issued a statement telling the troops not to âfall prey to your vanitiesâ after their spectacular successes so I expect theyâll keep their feet on the ground.
The only outfits that have had any success against them are Hezbollah and the Free Syrian Army. The US trained Iraqi Army have been shambolic. It looks like the Americans have mugged off the Iraqis worse than Donal OâGradyâs mugging off of Limerick.

Limerick mugged off OâGrady
Isis never feared the Iraqi army.
Maybe he likes it? Why are you still in Oz and you always bitching about the place?
Theyâre supposedly preparing to launch air strikes on the Iraqi capital. Apparently theyâre flying in training.
