Standing up for Israel

And I haven't seen any posters actually saying they support genocide, only accusations that they do. Not really the same thing.

Well the genocide is pretty extreme and there aren't many people who stand for Israel objecting to it.

Plenty of posters stand for Israel and Israelis without supporting extremist viewpoints.

So only people who are standing up for Israel's genocide in Gaza can post here, and only posts supporting that position will be acceptable? I just want to be clear about what you're saying.

I posted the video on this thread because it was relevant to the conversation that was was taking place on the thread, and specifically to another user's comment.
I don't see the problem in there being different perspectives and links from different sources on any thread. I much prefer that than having a social media algorithm decide what content it thinks I want to see.
I also think that it's possible to support a country and still call it out when something is happening that is wrong. So I don't see the harm in posting on this thread.

The abused are now the abusers.

As I said - all that happens both ways so not particular to this thread

I could give you a hundred examples

Anyway I misunderstood @Februaryfeels post and have already apologised

Sorry misunderstood

@Efacsen By their MO and up close and personal I was meaning the shooting of innocent Israelis sitting in their cars

@Efacsen it's repeated hostile intrusion though when there are numerous other threads that could be used.

It also feels a bit like schooling. As if things would have escaped our attention ...... with a big dose of finger pointing and name calling.

We should be safe on this thread to talk about things without the usual suspects barging in. Respectful discussion of course but it's not. I have had numerous dm's from people frightened to engage.

I mean the title of the thread gives it away surely? It seems people are either wanting to derail or get it shut down. Either way not great.

As adults we should be able to think.... that's not for me and my opinion is not warranted.

It's not really 'their MO'

It happens ALL the time on ALL threads - BOTH WAYS

Don't think I've seen a single thread that's not had some kind of 'hostile intrusion' no matter how sensitive the subject

That's their MO

Up close and personal

Back to the original thread. Attack in Jerusalem.

Please watch the video posted in @LilaDidIt 's link above.

This is what is said by leaders of a country, in public and on the record. This is what I and others like me get told regularly, here in the UK, from people who have listened to and absorbed these views. This is how Palestinians and in many cases the wider Muslim community are viewed.

@LilaDidIt , I think that potentially warrants its own thread for discussion, actually. There's potentially quite a bit to consider from that, but doing so in depth could risk de-railing this thread?

That montage is chilling absolutely no words, the poor Palestinians don't stand a chance

In that case, here you go - straight from the horse's mouth

The irony, The IDf are a bunch of state sponsored terrorists who are currently involved in the genocidal destruction of Palestine

You're accusing me of being a genocide supporter because I trust Israel more than a bunch of lying terrorists whose stated aim is the genocidal destruction of Israel?

Marvellous!

Of course, Netanyahu seems quite happy to be committing genocide.

I am more likely to trust Israel than hamas.

While ignoring that the soldier they're talking about only got a slap on the wrist, of course.

it should be available for worldwide private rental here for $5

sharing the trailer for anyone else who may be interested

Scrub that Wikipedia says it's only 8 miles from Gaza

Looks like a lovely historic place

Thanks - I've heard about this film. Do you know where/how we can see it in its entirety?

I know a lot of press stay in hotels in Ashkelon but it's 20 miles from Gaza - unless the whole general area between the 2 goes by that name ??
