Conflict in the Middle East

To think someone has got to stop the mass killings in Gaza

We are back to hundreds of Gazans being killed each day after the so called ceasefire and over 50,000 now slaughtered, mostly women and children.
The bombing of hospitals, schools and 'safe zones' not being enough, they are now picking off paramedics. How much depravity is the world going to tolerate?

AIBU to suggest that the world leaders complicit in Netanyahu's genocide should all stand before the Hague?

There's various boards (citme) where there are thousands of threads saying the same thing, whilst ignoring other conflicts where innocents are dying.

The other genocides get little interest though eg Sudan. Which suggests it's not about people being killed, otherwise why not think about Sudan etc, it's more about hatred of Israel. Hamas are still firing missiles into Israel who also have hezbollah and the Houthis to contend with. It seems some would rather no Israel in the middle east 🤔just the countries with large terrorist organisations. 🙄

Yep. It’s so simple isn’t it?

Interesting- you say she is obsessed because she posts about the atrocities on multiple threads and yet you are there on all the threads posting your pro Israel rhetoric - why are you so obsessed. One of you is highlighting a genocide and one of you is defending it.

Also when people post about Putin’s crimes no one says it’s a lie or tries to justify it. No one tries to say Syrian women deserve to be oppressed or Ukrainians deserve to be bombed. There is no need to spend time showing proof as we accept the evidence.

Israel has spent a fortune on flooding the internet with pro Israel propaganda and whitewashing their crimes against humanity - students, a division of the IDF, a whole government department. They have also got a private contract with Microsoft which gives them their own AI to utilise in doing this - any chat or board that highlights Israeli crimes there is a flood of posts twisting words and facts, flooding the web with misinformation so people get confused about the issues and think the facts are up for debate. There are not two sides, this is a genocide. Even Israeli soldiers are breaking the silence about crimes that have been committed.
There are no international Doctors or journalists that have visited the area that back Israel’s version of events. There is video evidence, there are dead bodies, there is testimony from Israeli soldiers and Israeli citizens. All international human rights charities and the UN have declared it genocide. It is not a war, it is not two sided, it is an extermination.

No other country has this level of investment in cyber war and whitewashing their genocide so there is less need for ordinary people to stand up and fight back. I applaud NattyTurtle and others for standing up for human rights and innocent people who are unable to defend themselves.

I’ve never read so much utter BS in my life. You think you know so much but you know so little. Have you ever even been to Israel? Gaza?

Jujujudo · 09/04/2025 08:36

You know what? You’ll never admit it to yourselves because you genuinely think you’re right. But most of these comments are filled with tropes. Jews running the media, controlling comments, getting away with things other people don’t. These comments are innaccurate and propaganda filled and 90% of the things written vilifying Israel are untrue. LIES! Just because you think you can somehow justify any of what you’re saying about the only Jewish majority country in the world, home to 8m people, a tiny dot on the map, doesn’t mean it’s ok.
Nobody here would ever say any of these things about any other country. One person even offered weak, racist justification as to why not!!!
in 1936, one man managed to convince an entire nation to support him while he annihilated almost all the European Jews. They helped him do it! Today, I’m reading about how Jews somehow DESERVED it!!
Shame on you all. Shame on you for readily believing terrorist propaganda while questioning pro Israel rhetoric.
It’s almost as if Jews and Israelis are not human.
i assure you, one day in the future you’ll see how mistaken you all were.

So many antisemitic tropes and veiled racist comments about Jews to even warrant a response. I used to ask my Nana about the Holocaust and she used to tell me that being Jewish was a curse, because no matter what they do, say, look like, they will be targeted. You may not realise you’re doing it, but you are being openly racist. Maybe take a moment and consider that. Or is every word out of a Je.. sorry, Zionist’s mouth a manipulative expensive piece of propaganda?

Interesting choice of links. I wonder if the poster realises that kibbutzim are at heart socialist enterprises. They might find more in common with Israelis than they realise. (But then they might be harder to dehumanise- oh the cognitive dissonance.)

Funded trips, office donations and so on, it’s in the public domain. About 118 conservatives and 41 Labour. Don’t know about the rest.
MPs shouldn’t accept any form of hospitality or funding imo, from Israel or anywhere else. Even if there are ‘no strings attached’ it looks dodgy

User46576 · 09/04/2025 10:10

Hamas need to release the hostages and surrender. Gaza then needs a program of de radicalisation to try to break the hold of various Islamist terrorist groups over the population. It won’t be easy. The Middle East is a scary place

The article that was cited links to a spreadsheet showing every single donor here:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vQJ34ufwob2saDo1Zjhx2DM6Rp1Vsx9AHdIEAVtQidI/edit?pli=1&gid=1880237433#gid=1880237433

It's a bit clunky to try and verify, as the registers of MPs' interests kept by the HoC appear to be separate documents for particular time scales, and the spreadsheet doesn't show exact donation dates. In addition, it was compiled before the last general election so many of the names on it (particularly Conservatives) are no longer MPs and can no longer be searched online.

But for those that are, I found the easiest way is to Google the MP and donor (eg, "Wes Streeting donation from Labour friends of Israel"), then scroll down to the search result from the MP's register of interests, and it will take you to the precise one with that donation in it. I've done a few and not found any that were false. Enough to be satisfied that I don't have to work through the entire House of Commons.

I wonder what the basis is for your claim that it's all made up.

This is what's so perverse about the mainstream western narrative about this issue.

The Palestinian population had their homeland completely upended in 1948, with hundreds of thousands evicted from their homes and villages to create space for the state of Israel. In 1967, that state occupied what was left of Palestine, an occupation that has repeatedly been declared illegal by the UN, and which keeps the Palestinians living under an apartheid regime, subject to the Israeli state but without representation or normal human rights within it.

But the problem, apparently, is not that they're under an illegal and brutalising occupation. The problem is that they fight back.

Hardly any of what you wrote just now is factual. You’re repeating the propaganda. Nobody had to “make room” for anyone. Tel Aviv was sand. The north massages, the south desert. Jews already lived in many places, as did Arabs. Nobody stole anything. Just because it’s spread around as truth doesn’t make it fact.

The evidence that the Israeli armed forces forcibly drove Palestinians from their homes in 1948, uncovered from Israeli state documents decades later by the new historians - that's all completely made up?

Let’s say that the government is not corrupt and that there is no such by thing as propaganda… do you also believe that Iran and Qatar are behind all this? That Qatar funds the protests and the universities in the US? That they fund and provide protection for the billionaire leaders of Hamas?

Don’t be ridiculous so many ethnicities and religions have been persecuted and no other country is using that as an excuse to commit atrocities today. Also not all jewish people are Israeli and not all jewish people support Israel - it is wrong to equate the two things. You can’t blow up babies and accuse anyone who says “don’t blow up babies” as being racist. Also judaism is a religion not a race!

I know loads of wonderful lovely Jewish people who are appalled by the actions of Israel, there are some wonderful groups of peace activists who are jewish. There is a wonderful jewish rabbi I follow on Instagram who films the violent crimes of settlers and the IDF in the West Bank, he is supported by a group of jewish peace activists.

You can’t just shout racist at someone who presents well documented facts that Israel doesn’t even dispute.
