[QUOTE=ā€œYoung Ned of the Hill, post: 992943, member: 80ā€]this is beyond sickening

our fuickin government are vile not to stand up against this

5 tdā€™s are in the friends of Israel group out of all the tds. the last minister of foreign affairs and the current one are both in this 5, what is Kenny at?[/QUOTE]
Who are the five?

[QUOTE=ā€œThe Scouse Cafu, post: 992975, member: 2660ā€]The problem here is that the Palestinians, who have no connection whatsoever to this area of the world, invaded Israel in 1948 and tried to drive the native Jews out. Theyā€™ve been trying to do this ever since.

At least thatā€™s my reading of the situation from what Iā€™ve learnt from the media.[/QUOTE]

Excellent at banking as well Iā€™m lead to believe.

a bizarre last 48 hours, Hadar Goldin the solider that was captured is dead, Hamas sent his body back to the IDF last night. i think both Hamas and BiBi are disappointed , For Hamas it was a wonderful bargaining tool to release the prisoner and they knew that Bibi would be under pressure to keep the troops in, more dead Palestinians is the best thing Hamas want for PR and this was their cardā€¦ For Israel a captured soldier could justify staying in Gaza to find him, its clear the plan to destroy all the tunnels wasnt working when after 3 weeks of bombing them Hamas mugged them off on Friday morning with a suicide bombing killing now what is 3 soldiersā€¦
so, what have we achieved? well apparently 32 tunnels have been destroyed and most of Hamasā€™s arsenal of long range rockets ā€¦ hamas come out of it looking good, 65 israeli kids or soldiers lost their lives and 1700 Palestinians, the bizarre thing is that the Palestinian leadership couldnt give a fuck about these poor people, they have come out of this looking good and Bibi like a lunaticā€¦ what a mess , Hamas win on away goalsā€¦ The average joe in Gaza gets shat on by Israeli artillery and his own leader, the world protests and no one here on both sides gives a fuckā€¦ horrible

oh yeah, all ground troops are being pulled out

Hmm

I hope I live to see the day these Israeli cunts get crushed.

being a sarcastic term for the two protagonists in this mess

thereā€™s a lot of things you hope youā€™ll seeā€¦

Kev, while I sympathise with your post above, I certainly donā€™t want to see visited on Israel what they have wreaked on Palestine. I would dearly love however to see a coalition of any countries intervene and take this out of Israelā€™s hands. They should simply be expelled from Palestinian land by an international force and any act of aggression be defended against, negated, and if necessary retaliated against. The squealing and cries of unfairness from Israel would actually be delightful.

I doubt it will ever happen. The likely endgame here is Israel continues as it has done since the inception of the state, and wipes out Palestine through military force and settlement, and ends any prospect of a two state solution once and for all. This is what they want and because the international community will not stop them, itā€™s what they will get.

If he doesnā€™t heā€™ll probably know someone who does.

Surely the pressure has to tell. All the propagating on social media by @IDF and Israeli sympathisers / plants canā€™t stem the flow of anti-Israel sentiment?

Israel have broken their plastic ceasefire (where they were allowed to carry out ā€œcertain operationsā€ but Hamas werenā€™t allowed do anything) by killing an 8 year old girl.
