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

Protests have been cracked down in some European countries too.

In the ME dictatorships no protests are allowed for anything.
 
Translated from a Hebrew article:

The IDF will not allow Gazans to return to their homes in Jabalya - even after the raid ends

The "Champions Plan" on the way to implementation and the northern third in the Strip is expected to remain sparse from the population - unless a hijacking deal changes the picture: the pivot axis from Gaza to the sea will remain as of now, even after the 162nd Division forces finish the raid. The result: 65,000 who fled to Gaza City will remain there and may also be pushed south

The next step of the generals plan, which of course isn't being implemented, is being implemented
 
It looks like Israel will withdraw from north Gaza as part of the ceasefire deal, so much for everyone saying that the plan was to resettle it.
And something we've learned is that israel always follows agreements and never lies about their actions.
 
It probably dawned on them that all the environmental destruction , contamination and the amount of money needed to rebuild the place that it's probably not worth it.
 
What a contribution.

Anyone know out of the Palestinian death toll, how many of those are hamas terrorists? It seems like people/media are intentionally reporting the civilian death toll together with the terrorist death toll.

@Solius @Rado_N @golden_blunder @Damien @Niall are you guys going to allow someone to label Jewish people or Israelis as Nazis? Does that fly on redcafe.net?

Apparently the mods have select issues which lead to bans but others seem like open season.

People should really watch the videos of what friendly Palestinian terrorists are doing to the dead bodies of Israelis, how they’re man handling captured Israeli women, imagine what they will do to her in the name of what their religion permits against the Jews? Why do I say religion? In every clip they’re screaming god is great.

I can’t wait for everyone to come out and condemn Israel for fighting back though against such peaceful people.

Yes they always do. The appropriate response is what the Uk would do if this happened on our soil. Especially a nation that lost 6.5 million people due to anti semitism.

The world failed the Jews, it’s failing them again. Make no mistake, not a single country in the Middle East would blink an eye lid if Israel got wipe off the face of the earth, in fact this is their wet dream.

62,413 people starved to death? Really? Also the 118,000 already dead has been proven to be a lie. I'm sure a lot of that list is true but putting out numbers like the two I mentioned go a long way to damaging the credibility of that report.

I thought they were going to resettle Gaza? Isn't that what everyone was running with last week?

Like Palestines agreement to receive Gaza in 2005 for peace.. like that one?

Thread full of charming people today.

Well not sure if you know, but Palestinians have been living without water for decades.
And even though they received billions in aid from other country, they made the frugile and financially responsible decision to not build a water pipeline from Jordan, instead they built bombs so that they could do attacks like october 7th.

so don’t underestimate the Palestinians ability to not need food or water.
 
"receive" Gaza
Yes, Gaza was given to the land of Israel in reference to the United Nations resolution 181** not 151. Are you aware of what circumstances Palestine received Gaza back in 2005?

Israel won another war yet decided to appease the Palestinian authority with Gaza in order for peace.

Didn’t happen.

I’m all for Israel not occupying Gaza and Palestine but only when they have leaders that aren’t extremist who want to wipe out Israel are appointed. I’ve heard from many Palestinians who would be great leaders.

So many issues with this I don't know where to start. Leaving aside the colonial and unequal nature of the partition plans, every single partition plan, UN or otherwise, has Gaza as Palestinian territory. The UN resolution you link to seems to be about Mali. Perhaps you meant 181, which has Gaza (and more of the surrounding) as Palestinian land.

So I'll just add a general statement in response to the last line: Jewish settlement has won, repeatedly, and their only mistake was not completing the genocide in 1948 itself. Bibi is a visionary who has put Israel in a position where that incomplete work will finally be dealt with by further cleansing and total demoralisation of the existing population. The final solution is close; celebrate your win.

I dont see how this was an issue of colonialism instead of responding to a genocide of six and a half million. Jews have been in those lands for thousands of years, and then you have the historical context of the Jews being kicked out of that land by the Roman’s was ir?

So after 48 when was Gaza taken by Israel?
And your jump to claim I’m saying genocide should have happened there is insane. I’m saying the fighting should have ended there… the death toll after October 7 is how many now? Very short of actual numbers if Israel wanted to commit genocide.

If anything this seems to be “hey remember when you gave you back Gaza, you didn’t clean your room, you started a lot of shit and you even killed a lot more people. Looks like we’re taking your room back and you can go to your other room”

Thank you, corrected it to the actual number - 181.

“United Nations General Assembly Resolution 181, also known as the Partition Plan, was a 1947 resolution that called for the division of Palestine into two states: one Jewish and one Arab: ”

Yes, that's true. Here is the map:

But doesn't this show that the UN didn't give Gaza to Israel, considering that it would have been part of the Arab state that never materialised?

Unless there is another document or documents post-1967?

You don't see "how" it was an issue of colonialism? There was an existing population on that land. A population, which, we now know by genetic studies, has been on that land for over two thousand years. A part of that old population had moved or been expelled from that land and lived in Europe for thousands of years. The other Europeans persecuted this population with several pogroms culminating in a massive genocide.
But when they came to that land to escape that persecution, before and especially after that genocide, they came explicitly as settlers colonising that land. They proudly called themselves settlers and called the land a colony, and they reached an understanding with the colonial powers in that region (first they tried with the Ottomans, who were quickly replaced by the British and French). They did not prioritise any connection with the existing Jews on that land, or an understanding with the non-Jews, who made the majority of its inhabitants.
I have quoted Herzl and Jabotinsky about a thousand times in this thread, you can also read Ben Guiron or Moshe Dayan, and you can see the very explicit colonial logic throughout.

It is possible to see Israel as a response to genocide, though it is very much worth noting that the Zionist enterprise and the British commitment to it happened decades before Hitler. But if that is possible to see, then it is impossible not to see its very explicit colonial character.


For the remainder about Gaza: Israel didn't take Gaza in 1948, resolution 181 - again, a colonial resolution to the problem - gave Gaza to the Palestinians.
 
It probably dawned on them that all the environmental destruction , contamination and the amount of money needed to rebuild the place that it's probably not worth it.

All those logical issues would hardly interest the far-right, which is motivated by religion, and therefore by illogic.
 
The sad part is that we will all accept this once it is done and dusted. Whole western world, whole arab world, pretty much everyone. Israel will be praised for stopping genocide, when there is nobody left to kill. And Israel will become partner to everyone, just like it never stopped being to most.

Whoever dares to ask questions will be stigmatized as anti-semite and a backwards person, because powers that be have decided so.
 
Lt. Col. Ran Cohen, deputy commander of Kfir Brigade currently leading Israeli forces in Beit Lahia, spoke in an interview aired yesterday on Channel 12“By the end of our mission Beit Lahia will be annihilated with all the infrastructure, both above & below ground”

 


And Israelis wonder why they face so much hate and resentment. In any true society this would be considered child abuse.

I was rather astound by it so I took the time to check it out.

It's not as if the place was built in the last 14 months for people to look at the destruction of Gaza. It's an observatory that was created ten years ago and has a 360 degree view that includes the sea and several cities and towns in Israel. And yes, of the Gaza strip as well.

That wasn't really my point mate. It's not the building, it's how it's being used and how kids are helped to get a better view and what they are viewing.

I've tried searching the authenticity of the post and can't find anything to say it's not true and there are countless reports showing this isn't a one off, or UNIQUE.

I just find it beyond comprehension how people can enjoy watching the suffering of others in this way, especially as a society and one that has endured some of the greatest crimes against their people in modern history. The fact the place they call their home was given to them after one of these events, and that what was given was taken from those who they are watching suffer and forcing from their land only makes it all the more sickening.

The same as when the Palestians cheered when dead Israelis were paraded through their towns, it's just fecking barbaric, inhumane and beyond my understanding. I cannot begin to fathom the hate felt to make your kids watch it and see it.

Yet in the UFO thread we have people claiming we are an intelligent species.
 
Local sources: Power outage in neighborhoods in Jenin camp after PA forces targeted the electricity transformer.



Israeli Broadcasting Authority: The Israeli army is satisfied with the Palestinian operation in Jenin and calls for strengthening the Palestinian Authority

 
They have been working for over a week now to appease Trump and the occupation while Smotrich is at the same time trying to exchange the deal in Gaza for "full control" over the West Bank.
 
Lots of that is barbaric, unethical and immoral. But that doesn't mean we aren't a highly intelligent species.

Yeah, it does. I was disputing intelligence, you took it further and added 'highly'....

What is it with the arrogance and hubris of our species?

I will reiterate, we cannot call ourselves intelligent all the time we are killing each other, killing every species on earth, many to extinction, and destroying the very planet and all the natural resources that gave us life.

We especially cannot call ourselves intelligent if out of all 8 billion of us, the one with the most money has used some of that to gain control of the government of the most powerful country on Earth and he being the one that is looking towards other planets for us to move to knowing full well we won't save the one we are on.

As I said, you all have a fecking low bar or a warped view on what you call intelligent.

Intelligence comes in many forms. Emotional intelligence being a form that many look down upon as weakness. Yet those with money or power are looked upon as being Uber intelligent.

We have it all it's just as a species we are too selfish, greedy, arrogant or weak to do the right things about it.


Also, we have humour, and irony. The peak of both being an Aussie telling us all how collectively smart we are.

Yes, I'd assume that kids are helped to get a better view. What's wrong with that? Like I said, it's a ten-year old 360 degree observatory that allows to see a whole lot more than Gaza. That 'help' would have existed prior to the war.

Now, have some of the visitors in the last year enjoyed especially watching Gaza and what's happening there, or even came especially for that? Yeah, I'd assume so. And it it's terrible.

But I don't know about schools bringing kids there in order to see what's happening in Gaza. It would be common for school trips to go to such observatories, whether there's a view to Gaza or not.

Would that even be safe or responsible? I'd imagine those observatories are within firing distance of rocket fire, not sure as a school I'd want my kids to be within potential earshot of some mortar volleys or a stray katyusha.
