Bizarre thread. How about all the people who have lost their lives in Gaza??

What's bizarre about this thread? Bizarre comment...

@Humdingerydoo it's sort of proving your point more than anything.

I know, but I highly doubt that was the point she was trying to make.

Well explain that to Julia's father. She and her mother killed by Israel Channel 4 News on X: "There is grief and pain in Lebanon as families bury their dead following Israeli strikes on the country. @SecKermani reports from Lebanon. https://t.co/Nb16M4KsIQ" / X

Show quote history

What has that got to do with what I said? I'm saying that Hezbollah spend money on weapons and tunnels instead of protecting the people of Lebanon, or even instead of just letting the government have the money to generally help the citizens of the country. You seem to think that is "bullshit" but also seem unable to actually back that up and are now seemingly posting random links to awful events as a result of Hezbollah's actions, while still not acknowledging that it's because of Hezbollah's actions.

I really don't know what point you're trying to make, but if it's to deny that Hezbollah are terrorists or to deny that they are responsible for the war extending into Lebanon (since they've been firing rockets at Israel since October 8th) then I'm not really interested in what you have to say, to be honest.

If your point isn't one of those two things then feel free to clarify what it is. Because I honestly don't know.

Could it possibly be that they can't afford it because terrorists are stealing a whole lot of their money and spending it on weapons instead?

Plus, bomb shelters wouldn't be against any resolutions. But Hezbollah would rather start a war and then complain that Israel is deigning to fight back.

@ssd why feel the need to keep piping up? I echo what @Comedycook says. It's like you can't help yourself.

Just bringing this attempt by @Scirocco to get back on track to attention

No-one responded to her plea over 20 hours ago

Unfortunately the thread descended into the usual Jew-hate. Posters are perfectly entitled to counter that, especially on a thread like this.

Thank fuck.

One can deplore the civilian casualties of the conflict at the same time as acknowledging that the blame lies with Hamas who revel in the slaughter of the people they were elected to represent.

Scirocco · 03/10/2024 12:12

To get back to the topic of the thread, I hope everyone is safe. It's a terrifying time for everyone.

Yes, its obviously just antisemitism, it can't be that people are horrified at what is taking place in Gaza. You keep telling yourself that, it might make the slaughter in Gaza easier to swallow.

And there are plenty of threads that discuss just that. Yet here you are, distracting from this one.

Context is everything....you have decided to comment relentlessly on this particular thread.

You are free to discuss your outrage at what's happening in Gaza on one of the many other posts on this board.

Wow! MN has been busy with the delete button today…

let’s be honest, people with family and friends in Israel are very likely to be Jewish or have close links with the Jewish community so those people turning up and posting goody, unpleasant comments here are just doing it to upset and bully Jewish posters. If you ARE one of those posters, I suggest you go and look in the mirror to check whether there’s an antisemite looking back at you, and if you’re capable of reading books, not just using tik tok to ‘educate’ yourself, then you’d benefit from reading “ Israelophobia “ by Jake Wallis Simons.

It's a thread specifically about Israel and Israelis though.

I always find when someone is trying to defend the indefensible, they resort to snide, personal attacks, which is what's happening here. Trying to drag up my posting history too...all a bit too desperate, guys....

But keep defending Israel here on mn, and ignore any criticism....how you can sleep at night is beyond me.

Don't you think it's "snide" to suggest that others can't sleep at night because they have a different viewpoint t from you?

Carry on.

I feel I should tell you, as a recent lurker, that you are damaging any cause you believe you are 'fighting' for on this thread.

I have had a quick look, there are many active threads you could go and rant in (though it looks like only the same few people are listening/responding over and over again anyway).

That you chose this one, titled very clearly, and choose to be disrespectful and derail it speaks volumes.

The optics are... unpleasant.

Indeed, it speaks volumes.
