uS Israeli staff shootings

@Whatsinanamehey why are you asking me? I have no idea.
I'm asking you if you think that the Israelis are just targeting babies? Or is the bombing more like you get in other wars?

Why did they bomb her house then? That's even worst if they didn't know and just go around bombing houses not knowing who is inside.

These were three of her innocent young children murdered today.

I'm not sure how the Israelis knew there were babies in the house?
Don't get me wrong, this has gone on far too long and there is too much bloodshed, but all this targeting babies accusation - what's the evidence?

I really disagree and just because it's what some people think doesn't mean they are correct. They bombed the house of doctor this morning killing her nine children. Their burnt charred bodies were brought to the hospital where she was treating other patients. This was a direct attack, why are some of you so unwilling to see that children are being targeted? Netanyahu and their government has stated their aims to cleanse and conquer Gaza.

@SharonEllis i do think the Israeli administration (not Jews - not even Isreali citizens) are trying to kill children. I think there is enough evidence to say that they have targeted civilians of all ages. Both directly via air strikes and guns and indirectly via starvation and disease. They are aiming to reduce the whole population and make life so intolerable for the survivors that they will agree to leave. Again by making life intolerable, they will kill people indirectly.

And an awful lot of people are getting worried about this hence the condemnation now from Israeli allies. It is not anti semitism

And this is precisely where the modern blood libel comes into play. Twisting the purpose of the military action against Hamas, into an active desire to kill children (or specifically babies) taps into the trope of Jews as baby killers. I really cant understand why this is so hard to see.

None so blind as those that will not see, as they say.

I agree, it's very frustrating.

That's absolutely true.

I know - even on a website particularly aimed at parents & grandparents it is often assumed that to be pro Israel is to be pro the children of Gaza being starved or killed.

It’s reasonable to say that Israel was withholding aid because they were.

However, it’s not reasonable to say they were “using air strikes to kill children” because that makes it sound like the aim of the air strikes was to kill children when it wasn’t. Israel is at war with Hamas so the aim of the air strikes is to kill as many Hamas fighters as possible but very sadly, many children are getting killed in the war too.

Yet its repeated so often.

You have no justification for saying people on here don’t care about children being malnourished or starving.

Not one person has said that or thought that, to my knowledge.

I have no knowledge or experience of being an editor but, to my mind, the second headline, while containing more factual information, leads the reader to an assumption that their employment at the Israeli embassy was a factor in their killing where it was not and they were murdered solely because of being at an event at the Jewish Museum

Two more innocent, young lives lost, perhaps we should all take a step back, in quiet reflection and say a prayer for the young couple, their families and all other innocents effected these in current conflicts. May they all rest in peace.

What you expect is neither here nor there.

I expect people to have a basic level of humanity and care when children are starving in their thousands and the country next to them is deliberately depriving them of food.

But I cant expect everyone to care on here and quite a few don't

If it's trending on social media watch your step.
OTOH some people will find something else to target you for, faith, politics, skin colour...if you tick several of those boxes you may need to become a bigger bastard than your enemy, until your enemy finds some like-minded mates, then you'll have to find some like-minded mates.........you can extrapolate how this ends.

Both! But I dont want to think about it too much as neither are pleasant images 😃

About the arseholes...or the implosions?

Too right.

Oh my god, I'm glad I'm not targeted because of conflict where my family originated.

Yeah sorry, reminds me of the poster who takes her kids on demos and talks to pro-pal holocaust survivors to show them not all Israelis are evil.
We all have blind spots, stream of consciousness exposes them.
I loved it when Tim Minchin said 'opinions are like arseholes, everyone has them, but unlike arseholes you should regularly examine yours.' that will make some people familiar with my posts implode I'm sure.

Can you hear yourself? Only an antisemite turns against Jewish people be ause of the actions of the Israeli government.

There's so much vitriol online, as @mids2019 says, his trial could expose what influenced this man.
I've seen a lot of exaggerated accusations whilst minimising any actions from hamas. That's troubling and speaks to the influences on them.
Mobbing Yuval Raphael at Eurovision I will put in the same frame as screaming at autistic kids having Macdonald's, and 'Lord of the Flies'. If I see a mob baying for blood my first urge is not to join it.
There's a joke that 50 % of people are below average intellect, we're seeing standard deviation in action when some people join a mob and others manipulate it.
My ideal - hostages return, 2 states peacefully co-existing under moderate leadership, hamas/hezbollah/houthis/Iranian theocracy sidelined & diminished. It's too much of a mouthful to shout & not exciting or soundbitey enough for a placard.

"it is the killing today that is turning people against Jews today"
Can't you see @andtheworldrollson that's problematic?
Why should Jews in Leeds or New York or wherever be blamed for something beyond their control, by another nation for which they have no responsibility?.

Thank you for that . That's actually the website I looked at earlier. It's a very interesting read and shows the horror and danger of antisemitism over the centuries.

I have read it all now but I still can't see the link as it refers explicitly to those accusations of ritual sacrifices only.
