Apologies if this is a silly question because I’m really not well educated on the subject - how do Hamas manage to amass their weapons/rockets if Gaza is under blockade from Israel?

A combination of smuggling via land and sea (generally by way of Iran or Syria), combined with a more recent ability to manufacture them directly within Gaza

In the settlments there are security officers in each village, they are not soldiets but they are paid by the government for defense duties such as night tours and first respondents to security threats. I, as a former soldier who lives in a city has practically zero ways to aquire a personal fire arm.

Families in Gaza who have no where to go with bombs raining down on them.

Unlike Maccabi, who can go to his shelter when the rockets are launched (the vast majority of which are intercepted by the Iron Dome system), where are the civilians of Gaza meant to go when the B-52s start raining down? It is one of the most densely populated places in the world, where the movement is severely restricted. They can't get out even if they wanted to.

It is essentially ethnic cleansing. Meanwhile, many posters working hard to defend the indefensible. Sad state of affairs.
 
I don't think anything has made me more upset at the world as this in recent times. To all those evil decision-makers and influencers out there, feck you. That'll show 'em! :(

Anyone who still defends Israeli actions is quite frankly morally bankrupt and needs some serious self-reflection.

Nothing surprises me anymore from that apartheid state. Disgusting.
 
This whole situation is just messed up. Really feel for the innocent people who are stuck in it.

The defending of Palestinian terrorism on here is just sickening. So is the blatant anti-semitism that often fuels it. At a time where hatred against Jews and attacks on Jewish facilities are almost a daily occurrence in the western world.

The fact that many people genuinely believe it's anti semitic to criticise Israel is the biggest act of brainwashing I've seen in recent years. Well done to them.

Nothing wrong saying Israel are the terrorists.

Yeah.... and anyone defends the actions of a terrorist organisation has the morale high ground. Now, I've heard it all :lol:
 
Palestinians, Lebanese both Muslim and Christian and Jews of the area are descendants of Canaanites. Not than that even matters. It's a disgusting situation, one that no one is willing to sort out. And please spare the obfuscation.

Yes, please enlighten me further how should I hand more money to the government. All those things you mention as 'free' are not free because you obviously pay for them.

Swedes pay between 25 and 35% taxes, getting in return enormous amount of privileges and services back from that. The average american tax payer pays ~24% taxes and what they get for their money? peanuts, maybe you pay your country with your own tax money to invade other countries and start wars?

And if I recall correctly Americans have higher taxes in other forms than personal income, such as property taxes. All things considered Americans actually don't pay as little as they think they do.

I could be completely wrong about it by the way, I just recall this from a Reddit thread.

I know this is off-topic though.
 
I'm confused as to why posters are discussing the American tax system in this thread.

I know, :lol: . But off topic discussions are inevitable. It started with someone defending Israel saying that there is no country in the world would treat its citizens equally with non citizens (referring to Palestinians). So I gave him some examples and it kicked off from there.:lol:
