To wish those in Israel safety in these coming times

Israel is currently committing a genocide in Gaza. It has bombed Iranian nuclear facilities. It has bombed and invaded Lebanon, it has bombed and invaded Syria. It has bombed Yemen. During ceasefire talks it bombed the Hamas negotiator in Tehran. It has starved over 2 million people in Gaza. It has bombed every hospital, every school, every church, every home in Gaza. It has sniped CHILDREN in the head. It has razed Gaza to the ground. It has killed over 200 journalists in Gaza. It has killed thousands of medical workers. It has killed people waiting in line for aid. It has killed civilians in Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Iran, Gaza, The West Bank. It continues to expand its settlements in the West Bank. Israel is not defending itself.

Calling people antisemitic for being against Israel’s actions is pathetic at this point.

Those people get their information from pro Palestinian groups - not from history.

Well TBF most of the Israel haters/anti semites didn’t much care about the lives of Gazans under Hamas, the Lebanese under Hezbollah, the Yeminis or even the Iranians under the current regime before Oct 7th did they?

They only seem to care Israel when has had to defend themselves against them…………..

I’m pretty sure those who are showing such care and support for the innocent lives in Israel haven’t shown or shared the same level of care and support for the other innocent lives in Gaza and Lebanon etc.

I also wish safety and peace upon the innocent people in Iran, Palestine and Lebanon.

I have to agree. It seems posters don’t want to acknowledge that it’s not Israel who start these conflicts with Palestine.
Maybe leave Israel in peace with the land they were originally given in 1948 🤷‍♀️ They were more than happy to accept the offer, declare independence and start afresh.
Unfortunately those holocaust survivors and their descendants are still being persecuted.

💯 Some posters like to start fights. I doubt it is rooted in a concern about civilian deaths.

Or deliberately prodding the bear…

You will find the answer to that in the number of deleted posts on the thread.

Surely people post threads to provoke discussion and discussion entails different points of view.

We should be able to talk about this, giving different opinions, without resorting to personal remarks of which I have seen a few here.

The more you post, the more ignorant you expose yourself to be. I’m cringing for you.

I'm not particularly interested in learning anymore about Jewish history. I mean this is an admission not only of your ignorance, but the fact you are unwilling to change that.

I guess educating yourself might expose you to the possibility of having to change some of your opinions, right? And why let facts get in the way of the pleasure of self-righteousness.

Getting the thread back on track,
The safety of those is Israel would be vastly improved if Benjamin Netanyahu choked on an olive.
Could we crowdfund to send him some ?

So just to derail the thread then? Thought so.

Is this thread purely Israeli supporters territory? Are we not allowed to share support to other nations too in this brutal, somewhat one sided conflict?

I see you

Why are any if you on this thread, if not to share the OP's support to Israel?

Sorry @Elladisenchanted and @quantumbutterfly , I got the quotes wrong.

Oh the old “I see you” nonsense

Much like the anyone in disdain at the current situation because they aren’t unequivocally behind Netanyahu and his awful govt are somehow supporting Iran and their awful regime by default.

And that anyone expressing disgust at the barbaric situation in Gaza is somehow an anti semite and supporter of hamas…

I wish the innocent citizens of Israel safety.
I wish the innocent citizens of Iran safety too.

I also believe far far more Innocent civilians from Iran will now be killed on this conflict. This is what history has told us.

😆 🤣

apparently so

The guys constantly referred to "Arabs" in a contemptuous and derogatory way. It made me quite uncomfortable as I have had always close muslim friends.

You seem to equate being Arab and being muslim. You sounded ill-informed.

Are you very young?😂

My father in law is 90 and I'm younger than him. Are you very old?

Those holocaust survivors and their descendants are still being persecuted. I don’t see Hamas protecting their citizens like Israel are.
I would rather Israel continue to protect itself from Islamic nut jobs

But you clearly don't really know anything about how the Jewish diaspora has evolved. There are European Mizrahi Jews for example. It was you who introduced 'blood' into the conversation so of course you don't want to talk about genetics now. Noone has ever said Jewish people get a free pass to treat others as disposable but you are a classic example of someone doesnt want to educate themselves as you have openly admitted because it would undermine your position. Whilst you have kindly told us that you have no empathy for the Jewish people and that they have no right to live in their homeland of Israel, you havent told us where you think they they should live. I think you mentioned Australia - a place with a nasty antisemitism problem. It is because of people that hold your views that many of them feel that they are not safe in the diaspora.

You're on a thread about Israel - remember? I see you.

what is wow?
