@CallMeMammy perhaps you're new here but people recognise Israel's faults regularly, both here and out in the world. Most of us don't do much more than correct the endless wild misinformation & one sidedness on here (with a dash of antisemitism thrown in) - chance of a proper discussion would be a fine thing but its clear how little good faith there is so its hard to get past that.

🤣 one-sided? That’s rich

I think part of the problem is the number of attacks experienced by the Israelis and the aggression directed at Palestinians over settlements etc. it is inevitable that a society becomes increasingly restrictive, militarised and paranoid (with good reason) when 2 groups inflict damage on each other and don’t reign in the worst of their own people.

The reality is Israelis have been attacked time and again, the reality is that all Palestinians have suffered for the actions of the demented amongst them, the reality is that there are people on both sides that genuinely wish harm on each other. I would hope that the majority want to be able to live in peace and don’t want to live in eternal conflict.

I hope for the sake of Palestinians and Israelis that one day there is a 2 state solution that allows both peoples to live in peace. The pictures of children with limbs amputated or the babies that are hostages is just unbearable. None of them deserve this.

The two state solution is dead. It has been the most epic piece of diplomatic theatre for decades, and if anyone is seriously under the impression it was ever coming back, the events of the last few months should show what a folly that notion was.

The Zionists have fully committed to making sure it is NEVER on the table again. There is no going back to a state pre 7th October 2023.

Please excuse me breaking in to make a point about the description ‘Zionist’ as you have used it here, which I have learnt from other posters on this board can be a common misuse of the word.

If by “Zionist” you mean an Israeli nationalist, supremecist, extremist you need to actually say Israeli ‘nationalist, supremacist, extremist’, not ‘Zionist’. Otherwise it is misleading, confusing, or offensive.

There are many ordinary Jewish Israelis who are Zionists, in that they believe Israel is their homeland - given after WW11 by Britain after the Holocaust when Jews had nowhere to go and even Britain and the US were not accepting them. These Zionist’s for whom Israel is their homeland, nevertheless do believe in a two state solution and that Palestinians have rights too.

I saw in a Haaretz (Jewish) article that saying “Khanist” instead of “Zionist” ( misused) would be a good description for the nationalist, supremacist, extremists -
People like Smotrich, Ben-Givr, Netanyahu and the Likud party who are, as you say, making sure there will never be a two state solution.

(Khan was an American Jewish head of a terrorist movement. I think Ben Givr was one of his followers.)

Excellent post @RoadSidePicnic.

Thinking of this poor woman and all the other Yazidi girls captured by Isis, or those captured by Boko Haram, it is dreadful to think this is what happened to girls and women throughout history and it hasn’t stopped.

SharonEllis · 05/10/2024 14:32

@ScrollingLeaves yes, this terrorising of women and girls is horrifying. And thank you for pulling the earlier poster up on the use of the term 'zionist'.

stomachamelon · 05/10/2024 14:38

I echo that thanks scrolling.

Disgusting. But not surprising

Another version of the story regarding the Yazidi woman, this one from the Hamas authority. I have no idea what details are true or not but thought people might be interested.

stomachamelon · 06/10/2024 22:48

And another version to counter that

www.reddit.com/r/Jewish/s/qwvCe3MZS1

The Israeli public broadcaster published exclusive recordings of Fawzia Amin Sido, the Yezidi girl who was recently rescued by the Gaza Strip after being kept by A militant for years.

The Hamas spokesman claimed she consented and came to Gaza of her own free will. Like 11 year olds generally do to be a sex slave.

Well Hamas would say that wouldn't they.

Absolute monsters, all of them.

Hamas are monsters, and it may well be she never ended up in Gaza of her own free will, but there is not any claim in The New Arab report claiming she went to Gaza of her own free will when she was 11.

Wonder if there are any more Yazidi slaves still trapped in Gaza, who didn't have the good luck of their purchaser being killed? I fervently hope the fucker suffered in death and it wasn't quick.
