OT Trump's Tariffs

Who knows Bill, I wasnt there.

Suicide bombing is quite a common tactic by extremists.

Sorry Sclox, I don't get your reasoning re suicide bombing. Who were the extremists, the escaped Israeli soldiers who were trying to get back to safety and used every means possible to show they were un armed or their trigger happy comrades who gunned them down in cold blood.

Put yourself in the position of the shooters in an extreme unexpected situation following the events of Oct 7th?

How were they to know who they were?

Are you on the wind up lad?

Not at all on the wind up. The attackers hold all of the trump cards. I believe they murdered their colleagues from more than 50 yards away. All they needed to do rather than being trigger happy was to order them to lie down, then at a safe distance ensure that they were who they claimed to be rather than being gun fodder.

I believe that is standard military procedure.

That way there would have been three more Israelis alive. Life is precious which ever side you are on.

Alternatively they are ordered to KILL, KILL, KILL, no matter what the circumstances are.

Stop it lads!

Facts are facts. Majority of fair minded folk had huge sympathies for the Israelis following the first Hamas atrocities but as time has gone on, level headed thinking people have been disgusted at the severity of Netanyahu's reprisals, mainly against the innocent civilians but using the excuse of wiping out the odd Hamas terrorist.

Even in the last few hours they wiped out Red Crescent medical staff making their usual excuses.

It could have bern stopped on Oct 8 if they hsd released the hostages and apologised. They still hold people or are you ignoring that fact Bill like many of my previous points?

This didn't start on Oct 8th and I don't agree with Oct 8th but it has been going on since Israel illegally expanded it's boundaries shortly after the agreed land they were given was populated.

And going back to your previous quotes about the escaped Israeli prisoners being murdered by their own kin (and this is you to me and no one else).

Have you ever served in the armed forces?

Have you ever been on duty on your own, with a loaded rifle in the early hours of the morning and nearest comrade 100/200 yards away and I'll put it politely, undesirables in the area and you have to make a decision whether or not to use your weapon.

Until you have to make those decisions you have not got a clue what it's all about.
