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

You don’t like the fact that it’s a war, but it is. Incessantly banging on about it being a genocide (in your opinion) doesn’t change the reality that it’s a war. One that Hamas started and for which it bears the blame. Civilian casualties are, again, the fault of Hamas.

Your bias is very obvious.

Yes, the willingness to say things like this… It’s very revealing.

Yes they were murdered. Some of the things we did during the war were also atrocious.

I couldn’t give a flying fuck which religion/culture/state is murdering people. Do you seem to think just because Jewish people have faced lots of persecution in history the Israeli government should be excused for this? Thats such a fucked up view to have. I don’t blame any Jewish person, or the people of Israel. The only people I blame are the governments playing puppets with innocent lives.

And anyone claiming antisemitism when someone doesn't believe a superpower like Israel should be mass bombing a tiny area full of civilians is quite frankly - dumb.

Hamas are a vile group of extremists. But the fact you think they started the war shows your lack on knowledge on Israel-Palestine relations. This shit has been going on years.

They factually did start this war. Nothing about that statement is untrue, and it’s a shame that you feel the need to descend to personal insults.

This

You really need to read some history and then come back to this thread.

Try disagreeing without insulting someone next time.

Point out the insult please? The war started before the Hamas invasion of Israel. That’s a fact.

Where’s the insult @verysmellyjelly? If they’re wrong what’s the problem with outlining why that is instead of hiding behind pretend outrage at being ‘insulted’. It’s farcical.

You've pointedly ignored the explanation I gave. I have to assume that you are not genuinely curious about the answer to your question.

I'll just quote myself here for you in case you are willing to engage with any explanation other than antisemitism

Were you living in the area over the years so that you know that as a fact?

I don’t need to be curious. I know the facts that lead to it

Eh? It’s well documented. Had been for years. Are you a conspiracy theorist?

If it were simply my opinion, then you might have a point. But it isn't. The ICJ had to order Israel to refrain from any acts that could fall under the Genocide Convention and to ensure its troops commit no genocidal acts in Gaza. The UN has documented evidence of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza, by Israeli forces.

There's no contemporary war that's seen this level of civilian deaths, particularly amongst women and children.

My bias is pro-life and anti-killing. I hope that's clear.

Israel's actions under Netanyahu have made the world less safe for Jews, stirring up antisemitism and garnering support for Hamas. Few would be criticising a proportionate response, whatever that may have looked like.

It happened during a siege/blockade. What Hamas did on 7th October was horrific, but it didn't happen in isolation. It was part of an ongoing war.

No conspiracy theories on my side. You?

Gaining support for Hamas?? You are deluded if you genuinely think that @TheWombatleague

Even on these threads where there has been a lot of anti Israel sentiment, I haven’t heard anyone go so far as to admit they support Hamas.

You’re sadly walking a fine line. Do you realise that the ICC have issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and 125 countries are required to arrest him if he steps foot in them .

There are some horrific genocidal conflicts around the world, aside from Israel Palestine.

Events in Sudan are beyond awful, but we hear little about it in western media because Sudan is a huge country and it is dangerous for reporters to get close to the conflict. It is much easier for reporters to report on events in Gaza because it can be done from a safer country just a few miles away. I suspect racism at play too.

I don’t think minimising October 7th as in pp helps either.

Would you mind just clarifying, you don’t believe there was any conflict preceding the Hamas invasion?

Err why is it the fault of Hamas that the IDF opened fire on 15 unarmed aid workers for over 5mins, then lied and covered all this up? the truth only coming out when a mb phone was found in the "grave" of one of these workers.

Dropping bombs on tented refugee camps is a decision made by the Israelis, they don't have to do this and their actions will not help release a single Israeli hostage.
In fact, its likely IDF actions have killed many more hostages than Hamas have done, the only time hostages have been released is when there has been a negotiated ceasefire.
It does appear that the safety & return of the hostages is not on Netanyahu's agenda.

A war usually has 2 sides fighting, atm, only Israel is doing the bombing etc etc
