Part 2: Israeli-Palestinian conflict

[AndHarry]

Starting a new thread as the original is almost full.

The original thread is here. It was started on 1st July after three Israeli boys were found murdered, before the murder of the Palestinian boy and the resumption of sustained rocket attacks and Operation Protective edge.

There are lots of excellent posts and links in the original thread showcasing a variety of views. The main consensus was that there is fault on both sides. We also considered various options for people on both sides of the conflict to work towards a lasting peace.

I am lost for words. Cheer

Cheering as lives are be

You know what I meant.

I think you will find there was celebration when the young boys were murdered on the way home from school too...

These threads are unpleasant.

Sorry on phone. Disgusting behavious. No humanity left

No, Wannabe, I don't know what you meant.

Is it anti-Semitic to see pictures of Israelis cheering and whooping when bombs and shells kill and maim people?

Or did you mean something else?

805 dead now. Last night it was less than 700.

I hear that the IDF will be attacking the infrastructure for mobile phones, so a lot of contact will be lost and we won't see so many shocking images.

It is quite usual for armies of occupation to want to prevent anyone seeing the evidence of what they're up to.

They are losing their pr war so are desperate....ooops too late the world has seen it all

not all. There is more to come.

When the wreckage is cleared how many more human remains will be found?

if anyone comes here again and screams you are antisemitic i shall squeem and scream and squeem...pathetic little blackmailing vacuous and desperate argument and so old news! try harder!!!!! But sleep well whilst innocents DIE for nothing!!! Shame on all of the killers! Karma wil be a big bitch and we all know who set her off

Yes shame on ALL killers

piglet Im sure Israel is in for a massive fall....they just cant kill and destroy with impunity any more, and think they can just get away with it all over again, the world has changed...

zinher figures are always conservative.....i predict 1500 dead and 10 000 injured in the next few days....this is Israel saying it does everything to make peace and respect human rights, and protecting themselves from terrorists, when they are being the terrorists here, blowing up kids, its merciless cruel and unfirgiveable, goodnite

yes wannabee, the israeli army have killed hundreds and injured thousands, the hamas have thrown rockets and made a lot of holes in the ground...no casualties at all so disgustingly disproportionate >>>>>>>>>

Anti-Semitic? Ha! Fuck that. If standing up and saying that zionists running Israel are murderers makes you anti Semitic, then yes I am. Except I'd be just as angry if it were any other country, race or religion doing the same. Don't play that anti-Semitic card with me. It's not valid in this situation.

so people protesting in west bank as well tonight and fired upon by the israelis..and west bank is an occupied territory too? Wtf? So israel controls ALL the land? Bloody fkn cheek of them no wonder the palestinians are pissed off!!!

anti semitic card fakebook is a joke...used by weak argumenters....i dint hate the jewish religin or jews, end of! I hate the govt cruelty and aggression.secular issue! If anyones using religion its the Israelis saying god gave them all that land, tossers

Oh that old chestnut again. Anti Semitic? Afraid that one Iiner is no longer working on the decent people who want this genocide to end.

Thank goodness people aren't afraid of critisising Israel anymore. Thank goodness for social media helping to get the real stories out there. Thank goodness for decent reporters (not you, bbc)
Now the world knows the truth, where are the politicians making a stand? When will this slaughter of innocents and children stop?
I find it really hard to sleep at night after seeing distressing images, how the hell do the people who are responsible or the people who can do something sleep??!

Do you need lie down Emma your getting a bit rabid!?

The words of a doctor to Jon Snow will forever haunt me as he said, 'if you want to look for a safe place in Gaza, stay away from children. The Israeli army have been instructed to target children'.

This is the thing I've noticed about Israel apologists. They seem to be very calm about this whole horrible situation. Calm, matter of fact, sweet about everything. I can't find the word for it....sinister I suppose. When they see normal human beings crying out, getting emotional, we're told to keep level headed, to stop acting "rabid" and to stop making anti-Semitic remarks. Why is that? Why is it anti-Semitic to scream out loud that Israel is the biggest terrorist the world has ever seen right now? How l

How long can they use anti-Semitism as the answer to everything?

Fakebook I've noticed that when they're asked what they think of Jewish people against the incursion, they don't answer.

I think calling someone rabid because they feel anger and frustration on this issue was uncalled for.

Ban Ki-moon is appalled again. When is he going to stop being appalled and fucking do something!

I think the israel apologists have no other rational argument, so they hope that the over used, out of context accusation of anti-semite might make those who are sickened by the Israeli regime's actions recoil in horror.

Not anymore - people are seeing how pathetic Israeli government looks, acting big and hard killing and maiming children.
People are seeing how two faced USA is, banging on about human rights in other parts of the world, yet not wanting its insolent child be held to account.

Its funny that the countries which supposedly hold human rights in high regards voted against (US) or abstained (EU)
The European people are sickened though, despite what their leaders do.
