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

[The Bedlington Terrier]

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.

Trading barbarity for barbarity is futile mein freund. I read when I was recently in Germany what is probably a very accurate, fairly neutral account and definitive of what Hamas did at Kibbutz Be'eri on October 7th. Stomach churning hardly covers sit.

It raised many questions for me. Where were the IDF on that fateful day? Why did the IDF remove the defensive weapons from the Kibbutz prior to the attack? How come Mossad who can hear a sparrow fart in Beirut did not act on intelligence pointing towards a Hamas attack. How on earth did the IDF allow a huge open-air concert to take place in a very dangerous location and why was there no IDF security provided on that fateful day.

Netanyahu has refused to apologise to the victims nor is he showing any urgency in recovering the live hostages, but goes into hysterics whenever a hostage is declared dead in Gaza.

I hold the view the October 7th massacre was engineered by Netanyahu to justify the annihilation and total destruction of Gaza.

My last question is for Hamas. What did they think the retribution would be after committing atrocities not seen since the Holocaust?

Peace? No chance whatsoever because the mutual hatred is so ingrained Muslims & Jews will never co-exist in peace in the Holy Land.

God is dead.
