Netanyahu has confirmed that Gaza will be occupied by Israel when the bombing stops, with no role for the UN.

Now tell me how this isn't ethnic cleansing ?

But of course, we can't say anything negative about Israel because... anti semitism.

Whydo people keep repeating that? There's criticism of Israel everywhere.

@playhallways

There is criticism of Israel from the average Joe and every day people and therefore some MN’ers, but you do get reported for anti-semitism if you’re concerned for Palestinian civilians on MN. Repeatedly told you sympathise with Hamas and condone the 7/11 attack - twisted.

However the people and governments in POWER are pro Israel 100%

PeasfullPerson · 17/11/2023 08:08

Yes.

No there really isn't.

The government of Israel (supported by Uk & US ) are openly discussing ethnic cleansing & obliterating Gaza & Palestiniansz

But

If you suggest on here that your sympathy for Israel & Israelis is wearing thin given their bloodthirsty appetite for revenge to the point where they will justify cutting oxygen from incubators.
You a) get your post reported b) get the "but Hamas mob" coming for you.

I'll openly say it & see how
Long my post lasts. My sympathy is gone. Gone gone gone.

If your "fear" and need to be safe makes you justify depriving prem babies of oxygen. Go elsewhere. Apply for citizenship elsewhere & apply for refugee status elsewhere.

I've had quite enough of the "ah but" mob. Thank you and I'm
Not alone.

@Alcemeg genuine question. If Israeli people are so so terrified of Hamas that they will
Justify killing babies, why not go elsewhere? America would gladly have every Israeli. Why not go to safety?

Seriously. Give them Florida. Why steal someone else's land?

I've also been thinking about this quote.

If you age truly native to a land, you would not bomb it into oblivion, you would not kill olive trees that were planted generations ago, destroy ancient buildings and their rich history.

Its very telling who is native to Palestine - their love for the land and tending for their trees and produce, respect for nature and their history.

This speaks volumes.

So are you now not allowed to call these sorts of posts anti-Semitic?

Literally saying that Jews don’t belong in the region, are not native, and need to be expelled somewhere else, is totally fine

Good to know

beachcitygirl · 18/11/2023 09:45

@hamstersarse can you explain why it's ok for many many posters to talk about Israel telling palestinians to move or suggest on so many posts that they move again and again. Even out of hospitals & also to suggest moving to Egypt & other Arab countries (as I have seen suggested on here many times) but is not islamophobia to suggest that.
But you feel it is antisemitism to suggest Israel people move?

Can you explain the difference?

No one has suggested Israel doesn't have a right to exist. I and others have said that IF Israeli people are so scared of Hamas that they are able to justify cutting of oxygen from premature babies, why don't they go to safety elsewhere?

Thats literally not what was said.
•not native’
’don’t belong there’

What I see is that many people supporting Palestine are absolutely unable to admit that fundamentally their belief is that Israel should not exist, as per the post I quoted.

If you can’t even acknowledge this, or even that that is what Hamas / Iran (who finds them) want, the whole conversation about Israel’s actions is pointless

It's bizarre that calling for freedom, that calling for a right to exist, for a freedom to live in your own homes and your ancestral land, or using a word genocide is deemed illegal, but doing an actual genocide, killing 5000 babies and children and burning down buildings, hospitals, churches, mosques, schools is not.

ChickHenLittle · 18/11/2023 10:35

So @hamstersarse

Saying Israelis should move elsewhere, away from their homes and family, friends, etc. = Not okay.

Saying Palestinians should move elsewhere, away from their homes and family, friends, etc. = Okay.

Yes?

The fact is that Israel was at late stage negotiation with Saudi Arabia right before the 7th October attacks. This deal included concessions for Palestinians.

I get from this that Israel want peace in the region.

Hamas’ attacks were not a strange coincidence, they wanted that peace deal ruined, and so did their sponsors, Iran

@bness

Florida is not an empty land. Florida belongs to the Seminole and Miccosukee who never surrendered to the Spanish or the American invaders. Despite this, colonisers have pushed these First Nation peoples into the most rural, remote fringes and Florida is a nominally US State after the USA took it from the Spanish. Florida is not even the USA’s to give.

Israel was not at war with Saudi Arabia, so it wasn’t a peace deal. It was an economic partnership deal. I see no link between Hamas attack and Israel’s talks with Saudi Arabia about cross-border sharing and pricing of electricity and water. It’s more logical to think Hamas attacked to take hostages to negotiate a deal with Israel regarding the Israel blockade of Gaza, the Israel illegal acquisition of Palestinian Territories, and the Israel erosion of the civil rights of Palestinians. I really don’t think Hamas would have staged their biggest attack EVER against Israel to protest Israel and Saudi Arabia shaking hands on cheap electricity deals.

That's my point. Palestine was an inhabited land, not for the British to simply pick up and give like a piece of candy at Halloween

@bness reported.

For saying that Palestinians belong to the land they live in and their ancestors lived in?

Are you okay with the way Israel has gone in, massacred Gaza, hoisted it's flags on its beaches and buildings, children's names erased from classrooms and merrily posing with their flag in front of landmarks?

I sincerely hope none of us are ever, ever, EVER at the same position where we open our doors to guns and are kicked out, not just out of our homes but out of our entire country.

Israel. Get out before we bomb your apartment block, go south you'll be safe, actually no we're now going to bomb Khan Younis, go west.

The actions of Hamas shouldn't affect the Palestinian public. Many Israeli politicians have alluded to, or outright said, they want to see the land occupied by Israelis.

Israel's actions don't scream "peace" to me.

Agree. As for peace negotiations alluded to above -
2023 was a very violent year for Palestinians, with Jenin and many other West bank villages attacked and Palestinians killed by settlers as well as attacks by Israeli army and police.

Certainfailure · 18/11/2023 11:39

@bness Jews have as much right to a home in the Middle East as Palestinians.
I’m sure that’s what you really mean.
Why are you so incensed about this to even suggest that they don’t. If you’re a British Christian, really you have no say.
