Political Thread in memory of David Reid. (R.I.P.)

[The Bedlington Terrier]

Interesting that this war in Gaza has the lowest civilian/military casualty rate ever recorded in modern warfare, which is testament to the IDF's insistence on giving advance warning to civilians of any impending attacks or strikes and giving them time to evacuate the area.

It should also be noted that Israel did not start this war nor did they choose where it would be fought. That was down to Hamas, it was also a tactical and strategic decision of the Hamas leadership to use public buildings such as schools, hospitals, mosques and the homes of private individuals as military installations. It's been absolutely catastrophic for the very people they are charged with looking after and protecting, but at least it has allowed their useful idiots in the West to make themselves sound ridiculous with their constant whining about Genocide.

The IDF show a photo of a hand grenade ostensibly located in a hospital to justify torching it and arresting all the occupants. Doctors and patients alike.

BT your friends did this? https://www.timesofisrael.com/bodies...-in-rafah-idf/
You support this lot?

The bodies of six hostages abducted alive by Hamas on October 7 were recovered from a tunnel in southern Gaza’s Rafah overnight, shortly after they were murdered by terrorists, the Israel Defense Forces announced Sunday. There must be so much hatred in these people ,these Palestinians! I think those people that support these Palestinians should really go and see a doctor!

I don't need a doctor Balan, a good old ceasefire will do.

If, as you say, there are no freedom fighters left, then the women and children must be a legitimate target because rockets etc are still targeting Israel and, in the absence of freedom fighters, it must be the women and children who are firing them.
Hamas really started something and they won't stop until they have had enough.

Sadly, I think you are right mein freund. When is enough?

That seems bizarre mon ami, does it cost more for the media to deny genocide than it does to admit guilt ?

Here you are,

Israel guilty of genocide in Gaza.
Israel not guilty of genocide in Gaza.

Both cost me the same.

Two sets of lunatics pi$$ing in the same pot mon ami.

Waging war on civilians always fails in the end. Just ask the Nazis and the Japs.

It amazes me that any hostages are still alive Balan. Gaza is just bombed out but no-one or nobody can justify killing innocent civilians.

It saddens me enormously to see unharmed women & kids being butchered in their thousands and 6 Israeli citizens butchered in cold blood.

Where is your God when you need him?

[The Bedlington Terrier]

Jesus said, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."

In the name of God what are the Jews doing?

[The Bedlington Terrier]

6 hostages shot dead. 200 civilians bombed to death.

Who is brave enough to denounce this continuing madness.

What I fail to understand is a point sinkov often alludes to, Hamas fire a couple of tin pot firework rockets that never harm anyone and the IDF then unleash merry hell butchering hundreds and flattening the Gazan infrastructure in the process.

It's pfhucking madness.

[Balan]

Thats the idea behind it ,the terrorist should then start to think = ''It's pfhucking madness,the Israelis only fire's back at us!! It seems they never learn? If the terrorists didn't fire their weapons? How would you know they even existed? How would they keep getting donations?

Since 2001, Palestinian militants have launched tens of thousands,of rocket and mortar attacks on Israel from the Gaza Strip as part of the continuing Israeli–Palestinian conflict. The attacks, widely condemned for targeting civilians, have been described as terrorism by the United Nations, the European Union, and Israeli officials, and are defined as war crimes by human rights groups Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch. Palestinian militants say rocket attacks are a response to Israel's blockade of Gaza, but the Palestinian Authority has condemned them and says rocket attacks undermine peace. From 2004 to 2014, these attacks have killed 27 Israeli civilians, 5 foreign nationals, 5 IDF soldiers, and at least 11 Palestinians and injured more than 1,900 people. Medical studies in Sderot, the Israeli city closest to the Gaza Strip, have documented a post-traumatic stress disorder incidence among young children of almost 50%, as well as high rates of depression and miscarriage. A public opinion poll conducted in March 2013 found that a majority of Palestinians do not support firing rockets at Israel from the Gaza Strip, with only 38% favoring their use. In 2006, more sophisticated rockets began to be deployed, reaching the larger coastal city of Ashkelon, and by early 2009 major cities Ashdod and Beersheba had been hit by Katyusha, WS-1B and Grad rockets. Attacks began in 2001. Since then (August 2014 data), almost 20,000 rockets have hit southern Israel

In the name of God what are the Jews doing? What does it matter what the Jews are doing ? Jesus said ,'' Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." Have you forsaken Jesus? What good was his event on this earth if you are not listening to him? Perhaps Jesus has to come again? But this time He has to come for the good people in Lancashire?

This hamster wheel madness started almost a 100 years ago when around 3000 male Muslims went on the rampage in Hebron. In 1929 around 250 Jews were butchered by knife and sword and all Jews were ultimately forced out of Hebron. In my opinion that's what lit the bonfire to this continuing Holy War.

Long memories have the people from Judea. The Brits didn't help either by giving Palestine to the Jews in 1947 when it was not theirs to give. I see no solution to this madness because a two state Palestine is never going to happen.

Yes, BT, however, even throughout all the years there has been little large scale carnage until Hamas decided, on 7 October, that they would upset the apple cart by killing and kidnapping Israelis. What did they hope to achieve?
An idiot could have told them that Israel would look after themselves and this has been the case. THeir objective had to be to try to drive the world against Israel, however, Israel will always have powerful alllies so the whole thing was doomed to fail and the carnage which has ensued is collateral damage, which is always a consequence of all wars.
It will just rumble on and on in an escalated manner. Thank you Hamas.
