Anti Israel Rhetoric is rife. Why?

[cindyhove]

As of April 5, 2025, numerous armed conflicts are ongoing worldwide, varying in scale and intensity. According to the Geneva Academy of International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights, over 110 armed conflicts are currently being monitored, encompassing both international and non-international engagements.
why is israel the only one to be demonised out of the current 110 conflicts?
The answer is blindingly obvious

Have you seen today's news?

Really? You really believe that?? Unbelievable

Can you cite examples of this bias that haven't come from claims by Israel or their proxies, like the Jewish Chronicle?

Because the consensus amongst British journalists is that there is a pro-Israel bias in what they're allowed to report.

"All of the journalists requested anonymity for fear of professional reprisals. Despite working for a range of outlets from across the political spectrum, they painted a consistent picture of the obstacles faced by reporters who want to humanise Palestinians or scrutinise Israeli government narratives.
A reporter from the right-wing Times newspaper said: “I literally cried in the bathroom so many times because of the uphill battle of trying to get things reported.” Disgruntled staff at the liberal Guardian have compiled an “exhaustive spreadsheet” with a “mountain of examples” of the paper “amplifying unchallenged Israeli propaganda…or treating clearly false statements by Israeli spokespeople as credible”.
Journalists working in TV studios face a similar struggle, with swift repercussions if guests from the Israeli government are asked difficult questions on air. Declassified was told: “The Israeli narrative always reigned supreme and instructed the coverage at Sky News, no matter how inaccurate”.
At the BBC, when it comes to reporting accurately on the nature of Israeli conduct in Gaza, a journalist said “the use of the word genocide is effectively banned, and any contributor who uses this word is immediately shut down.” At ITN, which produces news programmes for three British TV channels, the focus is on “clicks not ethical clarity”, a member of staff lamented. “Tragic footage [from Gaza] is often met with…remarks about how much traffic it will generate, as if it’s not real lives being impacted.”

Consensus? From one article citing anonymous journalists, which also mentions that scenes from Gaza are being aired on news reports.

Your response to the slaughter of 15,000 babies is all we need to know about you and your inability to see anything beyond your rhetoric

I don’t think most pro Palestine people would agree with you that Israel has essentially won but I would - then again I’m more pro Israel.

That being the case wouldn’t it make sense for Hamas to surrender now and release the hostages, hopefully bring an end to the bloodshed? I don’t understand what they think they are achieving by continuing to fight.

I don’t read the JC so have no idea what they write. I am going with my personal view of what I watch on (too many and too often) news channels. Of you feel that they are pro israel biased I hate to think what your perception of “anti” is.

Seriously it isn’t

Well what did they expect? They kidnapped all those people and what Israel are supposed to just sit back and do nothing? I'm with Israel on this

Can you not add anything substantive to the discussion?

Many experts believe that the UK's bombing of Dresden in WW2 was a war crime due to the indiscriminate nature of the attacks and the large numbers of civilian casualties.

Are you saying that, in your opinion, there is no legitimate criticism of the IDF's and the Israeli Government's actions towards the Palestinian civilian population and that all cricism is anti-semitic?

Either they expected just this response, and the increased support for their cause that would (and has) caused, or they hoped to use the hostages to bargain with. For Hamas, it's a win-win, for the Palestinian women and children, not so much.

How much are you with Israel on this? Would you personally press the button that wipes out a hospital full of women and children? Would you have pulled the trigger on the civilians inside the convent?

Personally, I wouldn't support, or defend, any actions that targeted civilians from either side.

That's a no then. You don't have any evidence of anti-Israel bias and nothing of substance to back up your claim. Or, looking at your replies here, no evidence of any of your claims other than your "personal views".

I find it strange that you can hold such strong views without anything at all to back them up. Where does your confidence in your opinion come from?

That's certainly the case on this thread. The only concession to Israeli war crimes has been, "it's terribly sad", hardly a balanced view. Imagine defending the atrocity of Oct 7th with, " well, it's a war, these things happen"

What does the end look like to you?

that is why international court warrant out for both Israel and Hamas leaders. Until they have their day in court you absolutely can’t declare ‘it isn’t’.

Well, thanks for another well reasoned and supported response that doesn't explain how or why you've come to your conclusion.

Is this your debating tactic, bore people into submission with bold assertions? Well, you've won, it's like having a discussion with a pigeon, a total waste of effort.

7/10 happened during a 'ceasefire' not a war.

Do you often talk to wildlife?

That’s extremely simplistic.

Indeed, there were still rockets being lobbed over the Israeli border, many nova witnesses didn't appreciate the difference until it was too late.

Can you have a ceasefire without a war? If there’s no war, what’s the use of a ceasefire?

You’re conveniently ignoring my posts that say the direct opposite.

Yes and they often talk back. I'm not anti-semiotic.

Of only it were really that simple to get people to admit out loud that they are just anti israel full stop. But bye
