Doesn’t look like there will be much land left for the Palestinians.

And in other news, from the Guardian:

“Israel’s defence minister has said he is committed to the ethnic cleansing of Gaza through large-scale migration of Palestinians as part of Israel’s long-term plans for the territory.
Israel Katz said the government would implement a plan for large numbers of Palestinians to leave Gaza “at the right time and in the right manner”, in a statement on Wednesday marking the targeted killing of Mohammed Odeh, Hamas’s most recent military commander.
Pushing for mass departures violates Donald Trump’s ceasefire plan for Gaza, which Israel signed last year. The second point of the plan states: “Gaza will be redeveloped for the benefit of the people of Gaza, who have suffered more than enough.”
Israel’s government has promoted the prospect of Gaza without Palestinians since Trump suggested early last year that hundreds of thousands of people should leave to “clean out” the strip for reconstruction.
Last year Israel set up a bureau for “voluntary emigration” and eased travel restrictions for Palestinians who wanted to make a one-way journey out of the strip.
The forced transfer of civilian populations is a war crime and a crime against humanity. Israeli officials, including Katz, use the term “voluntary migration” to describe their ”

Hopefully this won't be deleted. Its better for when posters talk about being anti Israel that we can see the depth of hatred on the other side also .

Fair play to you for saying it out loud, there are many more that think like you.

Its still a vile opinion though.

Agree it has become more than obvious that many in support of Israel would not care a jot if Palestinians just disappeared so Israelis could access West Bank and Gaza without those pesky Palestinians getting in the way of a greater Israel

Yes, the mask falls at times and they let you see who they really are.

I know there are plenty of pro Israeli posters here who would also be disgusted with an attitude like this. Its just a shame when this level of hate is shown.

Why will your post get deleted ? It will have to be reported and moderated to be deleted. And oddly enough, the poster on these threads who admits to being a reporter of posts would likely agree with you.

Very unusual for posts on these threads to be deleted.

It's good that the post stands, as it is an opinion shared by many on the Pro Israel side, such as Melanie Phillips saying quite openly stating that Palestinians are a "non people". https://www.middleeasteye.net/trending/british-columnist-melanie-phillips-slammed-palestinian-final-solution-comments

Additionally as American taxpayers increasingly question support for Israel, they can question whether they want their country and people to be associated with such thoughts which are antiethical to their values which state all men are created equal.

It also means that when the conversation turns to whether through Netanyahu's actions, Israel has forfeited it's right to statehood, no one can complain.

The Bibas babies autopsies showed they'd been strangled to death.

And thousands upon thousands of Palestinian babes have been blown up. We are now looking at hundreds of Lebanese babies dying the same way.

All due to Israeli bombs and targeted attacks.

Is there a difference between these babies?

Hate begets hate.
Violence begets violence.

There is no moral monopoly on either side - Hamas provoked this latest cycle of blood-letting on 7th October 2023.

Where’s the opprobrium for them?

Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard suggests Egypt and Turkey are next targets for war.

Seriously, do you actually believe that! Just because someone suggests it, doesn't make it so.

Are you suggesting that Hamas’s violence in October 23, was justified?

Just so I am clear.

I have not enough negative words for that evil evil woman. She has a voice that incites hatred (she also said the Irish had a tenous claim to nationhood as it only seceded from Britain in 1922-26 years before the formation of Israel) .

I see someone reported the post, shame.

Your very narrow viewpoint on the world is doing you a disservice here.

Although Ankara has not explicitly identified a specific adversary, growing evidence suggests that the Erdogan government may be steering Turkey toward a potential military confrontation with Israel, possibly in the Syrian theatre. This concern is reinforced by increasingly belligerent rhetoric from senior officials and a notable shift in Turkey’s strategic doctrine, in which the Jewish state is now framed as a fundamental national security threat.
Erdogan has previously attempted to push Turkey toward such a confrontation. In 2010, following the deadly Mavi Marmara incident in the eastern Mediterranean, he sought a military response against Israel but was ultimately blocked by resistance from senior generals. That institutional constraint, however, has since been dismantled.
Over the past decade, Erdogan has systematically consolidated power and reshaped the state apparatus. In 2014 he shut down a long-running counterterrorism investigation into a network linked to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force, paving the way for pro-Iranian figures to rise within the intelligence, police, military and diplomatic services.
Following the false flag coup attempt in 2016, Erdogan carried out mass purges that removed tens of thousands of officers, including much of the pro-NATO leadership within the armed forces. He appointed Adnan Tanrıverdi, founder of the paramilitary group SADAT, as his chief military advisor, and consolidated sweeping executive powers after a controversial 2018 referendum conducted under total government control of the media.
Under Erdogan’s leadership Turkey has expanded its military footprint abroad, arming Islamist groups in Syria and Libya and establishing overseas military outposts from Somalia to Qatar. Ankara has also deepened ties with Hamas — designated as a terrorist organization by its NATO allies — providing operatives with shelter, funding, logistics support and even Turkish citizenship.
At the same time Turkish intelligence and police have intensified crackdowns on Israeli networks, including alleged Mossad operatives tracking Hamas activities in Turkey, while largely overlooking the presence of jihadist groups and Iranian intelligence networks operating on Turkish soil.

If article 5 does not get triggered, then NATO will collapse. Then it becomes a free for all.

Take off the blinkers.

So this is all Israel's fault then? You have signalled all the ways Israel is being targetted by the military dictatorship in Iran and fast becoming military dictatorship in Turkey. Do you think Islamic fundamentalism is a force for good in the world?

It's not the fault of the British Jews that the conflict occurred. I do care about the feelings of British Jews who didn't cause the conflict and don't deserve hatred at all.

YourAmplePlumPoster · 31/05/2026 18:23

Yeah, it's fine to target British Jews who are just running their Kosher shops or attending Synagogue in their local towns. Kristallnacht coming up next.

Do you stand by this?
Do you think British Jews are in any way connected to and responsible for Israel's conduct in Gaza?
Would it be ok to say 'I don't care about the feelings of Chinese people in the UK as long as the CCP is eliminating the Uyghurs?
Isn't that- to paraphrase your last sentence, your own hate breeding more hate towards people unconnected with the original source?

They're trying to get rid of Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis. ALL Iranian backed Islamist terrorist groups. Why are you against this? All the countries mentioned would be better without terrorists operating. They are NOT trying to kill civilians.

The actively stated intention of many members of the Isralei government is to expand Israel. This has been happening in the Westbank for years and now it's happening in Gaza, Lebanon and Syria. They have occupied the Westbank and moved into thousands of settlers to illegal steal the Palestinians lands. This is a clearly stated goal. The article linked in this thread tells us that the intention is to remove the majority of Palestinians. Only religious extremists could believe that this choice is justified or deny that this is happening. Why are you okay with this?

I actually find this a quite disgusting thing to say to anyone of Jewish heritage. Because Kristallnatch was clearly a horrifying and terrible thing, and should never have happened.

Do you think Jewish fundamentalism, or Christian fundamentalism or any kind of fundamentalism have any place in this world? Because there are lots of all of them. Personally I do not. However, if you are just going to hold Islam to account, go you.

I think the settlers violence recently should be dealt with severely. I don't think at all that the goal is to remove all the Palestinians from Gaza ( I don't think that's even possible as there's no country that would take them).

I do think that Islamism is a threat to us all though. It harms women and children more than most and we should all have a goal to try and eliminate it. Israel is fighting to eliminate these terrorists who have been firing rockets at them continually for years. Maybe the Lebanese government should have tried a bit harder to get rid of Hezbollah themselves. Hopefully there is less Iranian money now too....although now it seems the president's resigned and the IRGC have control of the country....I'm just reading this now. If the money could be stopped that would go a long way.

What? Don't you think thats true?

Afghanistan?
Iran?
ISIS?

No extremists are desirable, obviously, but when it comes to religious ones there is one religion much more often associated with violence? Or don't you agree?
