I could say the same about pro-Israeli posters.

On the other hand, perhaps the people posting here genuinely have the opinions they express?

Stomacharmeleon · 30/11/2023 21:36

@DevonDiva I Don't understand truly why you would come on a thread with such a specific title in order to not talk about it.

What do you hope to gain from it? A change of opinion or is it just virtue signalling?

Depdawg · 30/11/2023 21:37

Those who try to ease their way in, talking
about seeing both sides, eventually show their true colours.
Like the one who's just flounced off.

parksandrecs · 30/11/2023 21:41

I came on this thread - with a very specific title - because I thought that the title itself is an attempt toshape the narrative in ways that were lacking in balance.

That it was creating an either 'Israel are 100% justified whatever they do or you support terrorists' environment.

Whereas some of us say Hamas's actions were appalling and barbaric, AND some of Israel's actions are appalling. And pointing out that Israel has been in contravention of international law for a long time in some aspects of its actions.

For someone who claims to not be taking sides, you sure seem to be taking sides an awful lot of the time.

Seeing as your family is Iraqi, how did they feel seeing terrorists hanging people in the West Bank the other day? Must have brought back some not so great memories for them. At least that's how my family feel about it. They feel like history is repeating itself except now they don't have anywhere to escape to.

Stomacharmeleon · 30/11/2023 21:45

@parksandrecs I think the title is quite clear as to what way it's going to go. And I can't see anything to argue about with that title. Not 'shaping the narrative' it's a fact.

parksandrecs · 30/11/2023 21:45

Most of my family decided against settling in Israel because they did not agree with the Zionist agenda. They are primarily in the UK and USA.

Those who are living in Israel do not agree with the opppression of Palistinians, and the increasing Israeli settlement in the West Bank, but they have chosen to live in Israel and be active in politics from within in the hopes of changing from within.

Stomacharmeleon · 30/11/2023 21:47

@parksandrecs feel free to start your own thread with that title....

You can put whatever title you choose - and posters will respond as they choose.

Hamas's actions are appalling.

That does not justify the mass killing of Palestinian civilians,especially children

parksandrecs · 30/11/2023 21:50

Well, I would love to be paid for posting my opinions - after all, I have a mortgage to pay!

If you choose to believe anyone disagreeing with you is a troll, or paid Putin stooge, I can't stop you. It is an easy way of trying to undermine and discount opinions that are uncomfortable.

Stomacharmeleon · 30/11/2023 21:50

@localnotail I can generally tell by spelling and turn of phrase. Some stick out like a sore thumb.

This is concerning Kfir and his family in case anyone is concerned about looking. More brutality from Hamas.

Stomacharmeleon · 30/11/2023 21:58

That footage of Shiri being bundled into the jeep with her babies will forever be in memory. She looked so frightened.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 30/11/2023 21:59

I'm now going to sound very "tin foil hat" here - but Hamas are very chummy with Putin, and russians have huge troll farms they are quite happy to lend to whoever is paying. Just saying

Possibly. Anti-semetism is very old and ingrained. I’m sure the internet is awash with trolls posting anti Jewish sentiments right now, many of which have been ingrained into algorithms and picked up by the unthinking new incarnation of the left and further amplified.

Odd how the first hospital bombing has been found to be a Hamas misfire and so few are talking about this even though many children were killed.

To lose your wife and two boys.
Just unfathomable.
If true.

I agree. Horrendous. Whichever 'side' it has happened to - and it has happened because of Hamas and because of the IDF

Of course not everyone who is blinkered shouty Pro-Palestinian online is Botox Vlad's employee. Some are naïve and maybe well meaning but mis-informed, some are useful idiots, some enjoy hating Jews. Who knows what drives people to display a wholly one-sided, angry and antagonistic view immune to any evidence. But there are definitely trolls, there are a whole army of them on IG and FB, I cant see why not here. Its all fair game in the business of "hybrid warfare!"

Stomacharmeleon · 30/11/2023 22:08

Yagil and Or Yaakov (12 and 16) drugged whilst they were kept hostage and burnt with exhaust pipes in case they tried to escape and could he identified.

More brutality.

Any critics of Israel's actions against the Palestinians are Putin's stooges, naive,or enjoy hating Jews?

The Israeli government is perfect and above criticism?

localnotail · 30/11/2023 22:13

We are not going to hear all of the witness accounts from the hostages until all of the remaining ones are released - no one wants to add the pain to the relatives who's loved ones are held by these monsters. There are some little hints of what was done to all the women and children in captivity - little girl who would now only speak in whisper; old lady who slept on plastic chairs; hostages who had no treatment to their injuries, despite Hamas propaganda; 12 year old who was made to watch people being brutally murdered on film; women who said they were kept in dog crates. Horrible, evil shit.
