Israeli army kills 28, offers to investigate one of them

[securespark]

There is a chasm of difference between being a bit uneasy with the Zionist state (as many moderate Jews are) and being anti-Semitic (unacceptable)

Absolutely.
I have said this before & I will say this again.

Can't the Israelis see that they are doing to others what was once done to them -- that which was said should NEVER EVER happen again?

Leaving aside the killing and maiming by the use of firepower, their tactics are harming innocent people: amongst others, taking water from or diverting rivers, cutting off electricity and water supplies.

 

[EddieM]

Indeed the list of abuses is long and unflattering.

 

[shagster]

However, today, anti-semitist has been misappropriated by most to silence critics and (incorrectly) brand them racist

The word 'racist' has also been used extensively to silence criticism of Islam. If misappropriation scores some political points, it's perfectly OK, just as long as you're on the right team.

Hamas the terrorist organisation that seeks the destruction of Israel , they have public executions . lynchings,

corruption is rife . Dire mob and the EU has given millions in aide to this corrupt shower , probably ended up in some swiss bank account ??

or used for some other purpose (arms) whilst there population live in poverty .

Dissent against Hamas is met with violence

it is better known as collective punishment which is against international law, the aim is to punish the majority for the crimes of a minority in the hope that the community will turn against those in their community who are involved in violence therefore avoiding further hardship being inflicted by state forces.

Jews and muslims in the middle east have lived side by side for centuries and can do once again under the right conditions, Iran still has a Jewish community dating back thousands of years, despite offers of assistance from the Israeli government to emigrate from Iran they have chosen to stay.
The original sin was allowing Palestine to be flooded with white European Jews who have no connection with the region.
Ironically a lot of people who support the Zionist project are those who complain loudest about Britain being flooded with foreigners.

Roman Cathlolics & Protestants have lived together side by side in the England during my life time. In fact ones religion never came up ?

one does not need to go to the middle east to find conflict caused by religion

Hamas the terrorist organisation that seeks the destruction of Israel

A**e end is telling his bigoted lies again:

The group has stated that it may accept a 10-year truce if Israel withdraws to the 1967 borders

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamas

EU has given millions in aide to this corrupt shower , probably ended up in some swiss bank account ??
or used for some other purpose (arms) whilst there population live in poverty .

A**e end is telling bare faced lies and trying to create fake news, then creating some more bigoted fantasy on top of his prejudicial assumptions, as usual.
It is common knowledge (except to a**e end, apparently) that EU, UN, USA, Russia et al do not give money to Hamas, and have not done so since 2006.

 

[Notch7]

and have not done so since 2006.

So before 2006, they did

So according to you, this statement is correct:

EU has given millions in aide to this corrupt shower

 

[JohnD]

The EU has provided aid to build and run drinking water and sewage treatment plant.

It is EU policy to combat disease.

Unfortunately the Israeli Armed Forces have bombed drinking water and sewage treatment plant so the situation remains dire. Electricity to run the plant is sometimes received from Israel, and sometimes not.

Perhaps it is Israel's policy to encourage disease.

So according to you, this statement is correct:

No the statement is not correct, it is highly speculative.
Or did your attention span run out after the first ten words?

Your attention span can have a major impact on your performance at work or school, and your ability to deal with the tasks of everyday life - one lapse in attention can result in missing out on important information, errors, or worse.

[Notch7]

it is highly speculative.

Is not the same as:

the statement is not correct

It can be one or the other, not both

I shall add that to the wannabe / himaginn / lots of others excuse list:

its more nuanced
my keyboard hasnt evolved
the distinction is blurred
it is highly speculative

 

[JohnD]

how very unhelpful your diversionary posts are.

Devoid of value.

 

[transam]

yep the eu provide millions in aide . Hamas divert much of the aide into there own bank accounts (Zurich) same as Arafat

fire rockets at Israel from some building funded by the EU aide they never pinched , then play the propaganda / victim card when Israel bomb the building

Any dissent by the population who question Hamas is met with violence . Some of those executed by Hamas are put on display / hung from buildings as a warning to the population , sort of thing that went on in this country in the middle ages

So called traitors or Israeli informers are lynched, tied to the back of cars and dragged through the streets

No. Israel is a place of medical innovation..

Mebbe if hamas would stop launching bomb attacks against the Jewish people then the Israeli forces might leave their schitt holes alone.
