Shame on anyone who uses what happened to their forebears 80 years ago as "justification" for war crimes now

Ab so you’re saying that the people of Gaza should just give up any claim to the land and Hanas should promoted living in harmony with the Jewish people?

What I said can apply equally to the Israelis and Hamas, it's universal

Unfortunately, for Jewish people with at least 2,500 years of persecution and exile, it might be a little more difficult to forget especially when anti semitism is on the rise again

Tell that to all the men and women and children who starved to death. That there was literally no safe way of getting supplies to them when they were blockaded off by Isreal . Sorry but I just don’t believe that

Nor does the International Criminal Court. That is whyy Netanyahu is wanted to stand trial for war crimes.

"Charges
Allegedly responsible for the war crimes of starvation as a method of warfare and of intentionally directing an attack against the civilian population; and the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts from at least 8 October 2023 until at least 20 May 2024."

To stand trial isn't to be found guilty and the war crimes are alleged so it's a bit premature to assume he will be found guilty.

Agreed. Hopefully he will go and stand trial in the very near future so his innocence or guilt can be proven.

The drafters of the Geneva Convention took such matters seriously enough to include it, so it’s obviously not a “pathetic excuse” but a very real threat. If you have an issue with the drafting of international law, you might want to discuss the matter with those who make it (you might want to have more solid grounds than it’s a “pathetic excuse” though).

Can you honestly not see allowing aid trucks to flow through from countries hostile to your existence might be a bit of a worry on the security front???

Nope, Israel is an occupying power and as such has the following responsibilities in Gaza

As an occupying power in the Gaza Strip, Israel is obligated under international humanitarian law—specifically the Fourth Geneva Convention and Hague Regulations—to ensure the safety, welfare, and basic needs of the civilian population, including providing food, medical supplies, and maintaining public order. Israel must permit humanitarian relief, protect medical facilities, and is prohibited from using collective punishment, starvation as a weapon, or forcibly transferring civilians

The claim you make only stands if Palestine is free but it isn't and doesn't look like it is likely to be. So yes Israel is breaking international law by denying basic humanitarian needs. You can't have it both ways.

No, it says it needs to investigated, my post clearly states this, It needs proving in a court of law,

The source used here, the UN have previously been criticised by the UN watch fog for anti semitism and that needs to be considered alongside the report.

if the accusations are proved in a court of law the court will rightly choose what happens as a consequence.

Do you generally have an issue with legal due process.

Do you feel the same about the Hamas attacks? Israel should prove it in court right otherwise who knows? I mean what's good for Palestinians is good for Israelis. You don't have an issue with due process so until Oct 7 is investigated impartially and goes to court we best not talk about it?

Yeah, how dare Jews 'harp on' about what happened 80 years ago!

Time to move on, victim card has expired! Stop talking about that pesky actual real genocide!

The 'actual real genocide' of Jewish people in Ireland 80 years ago?

It’s pretty clear that it’s intended to lead you to that conclusion, relying as they are on a readership lacking in reading comprehension, but actually the wording is deliberately vague.

They are not stating for a fact that Israel or the US are responsible. If they did they would be wrong, as that isn’t something that has been verified.

The wording isn’t vague. You’re grasping at straws by quibbling over whether the word reported means speculation or substantiated journalistic reporting.

I am sure you weren’t saying Epstein was only reported to have raped underage girls, and that one would be lacking in reading comprehension to not understand this is just a vague speculation of what might have been.

Surely you mean the Telegraph? They’re the ones owned by Ahbu Dhabi
https://londontrends.uk/who-really-owns-the-guardian-truth-behind-the-uk-newspaper-s-ownership

Guardian is the only truly independent newspaper in the UK.

No I mean the Guardian. They may be 'independent' but their editorial is manifestly anti Jewish. The Telegraph is not anti Jewish.
Edited to add: Abu Dhabi normalised relations with Israel in 2020.

Yes and arrest warrant were issued for those leaders. It will be harder to prosecute them in court because the IDF killed them.

Has either country admitted this yet?

I don’t believe that two countries with the extraordinary powers of surveillance and intelligence they evidently have, do not know how that school got bombed.

There appeared to be confusion about where the Holocaust took place 80 years ago. It wasn't Ireland obv. HTH

Nor do I but when I said who gives a shit what Ireland did 80 years ago the poster I was quoting came riding on in on her horse accusing me of telling Jews to stop talking about that 'pesky actual real genocide'. So I am asking what genocide did Ireland commit against Jews 80 years ago that I am telling Jews to stop talking about? Because I don't see how saying who gives a shit what Ireland did 80years ago has any bearing at all on the holocaust that happened miles away on mainland Europe.

these comments and wild attacks that pay no relationship to the conversation make following threads impossible
