Israel - Palestine Discussion | Post Respectfully | Discuss more, tweet less



I have never heard of this term hit in the head by a bullet. Its not like you can hold a bullet with your own hands and throw it at someone.
 
The language used is what I’m finding the most infuriating.

The UN Human Rights chief said an attack on Rafah would be ‘terrifying’. How about as human rights chief, you actually come out and say it’d be a crime against humanity to bomb Rafah and kill civilians. Why not say that? Insteadthey just cower and watch meekly tutting loudly in the background.

Lord Cameron, British foreign minister says they should ‘stop and think seriously’, like it’s a child away to throw a stone through a window.

Nobody has the balls to call this what it is in the West, that’s what’s so fecking abhorrent about this.

It's exactly what it is. Useless parents that have been indulging their little prat for decades. The prat hasn't grown up, it hasn't learned any decency or respect for anything.

And they still don't want to take their toys away.
 
The "both" crowd is the worst.
The both sides crowd are the most annoying but it does leave some hope they could change their minds. A lot of people will still have no idea what’s going on in Gaza.

Anyone picking Israel is a lost cause.
 


The ICC is finally and after 4 months of massacres decided to wake up, I cant say I am hopeful of anything of them.

Just for the Information. ICC go after individuals not states.

The bothsidesism annoys me to no end but yeah I wasn't serious about them being the worst.
 
Found this interesting:


There’s a crazy section in Johnathan Wilson book about Argentina football(Angels With Dirty Faces)where the dictatorship guards pause the executions and watch the 1978 World Cup final with political prisoners. After the match ends the guards continue the killing.
 
Laundering genocide is the best term for what politicians in places like the UK, the US, and Germany have done.

All of them are proof that the colonial mentality of these countries never went away.
 
And they still don't want to take their toys away.

The US has to be very careful about how they go about doing that. If they end their military protection of Israel, or even appear to be considering it, that could risk Iran and others wanting to try to exploit the situation, and cause more instability and more conflict. The next logical step is to put politicians with genocide rethoric on the sanctions list. It's not going to be enough, or satisfy anyone, but it would be an historic step to take and line up a path towards putting Nettanyahu himself on a future sanctions list.

They have to do it step by step though, they can't be seen as abandoning or going against Israel.
 


Palestinians as dogs, “hatred” and “violence” written on them, anti-Semitism as a woman with a keffiyeh. And the supposed company that kisses her hand.

At the carnival parade in Cologne, this is the “surprise wagon”. As if it were a surprise that racism is rolling across our streets. Completely crazy distortion of reality and dehumanization of Palestinians. It is Nazi trivialization when anti-Semitism is blamed on Palestinians. And it is the worst demonizing racism when Palestinians are portrayed as hateful chain dogs. It is a slap in the face to all people who fight against the AfD to act as if our society is threatened by Palestinians. And it is a perverse lie to pretend that we stand out by showing special respect for Palestinians.

This car says one thing: the Palestinians are evil and respecting them makes you Nazis. Rabble-rousing.

“Back in society”? This racism never went away. In the delusion of solidarity with Israel, it is now clearly visible.

Biden can say what he's like, but he's too pathetic to put sanctions on Israel like western countries should be doing if they had any moral compass. Instead they say the usual platitudes whilst doing nothing as Israel commits atrocity after atrocity.

Nobody should pretend that any of these countries has a moral authority to preach to anyone in future.

That's quite an understatement, and inaccurate really. The US is fully complicit in the genocide supplying weapons, UNSC vetos, funding and overall protection. It is as much a US genocide as it is a zionist genocide. The UK and the EU are complicit too.

Taking their toys away isn't only referring to military funding. Any other state would've been most likely made a pariah long ago for what they've been doing to Palestinians. Instead, the EU and the US have opened the doors for them in their countries and elsewhere in every way possible.

Yep. You are correct. Saying they are doing nothing was wrong…

The U.S, U.K and E.U are literally aiding and abetting a genocide.
 
I put it into Google translate and it helpfully pointed out that instead of 'Palastinenseen' it should be 'Palastinensern' and then it makes sense and stops blaming lakes.

Yeah, you're right. Just a slight case of a typo.
