officially the Islamic Resistance Movement (حركة المقاومة الإسلامية Ḥarakah al-Muqāwamah al-ʾIslāmiyyah), is a Sunni Islamist political and military organization governing the Gaza Strip of the Palestinian territories.

I’d like to know how many slaughtered innocent Palestinians would be enough for Israeli revenge against Hamas, I mean, the current number clearly isn’t high enough for the people who are, at this point, very obviously blood thirsty, how many more war crimes are Israel allowed to commit in the name of vengeance? How many more children dying will be suitable? Over a thousand in under 7 days didn’t quite seem to quench the thirst for Israel and its fans, the number of Palestinians murdered has already doubled the amount of people murdered by the hamas atrocity, how long will the west sit by and idly watch as Israel cuts off vital resources to the innocents so they can watch them slowly die and use illegal chemical weapons over civilian areas without a care in the world, the history books will not be kind to those that allowed and egged on these crimes against humanity

Fair enough, I totally respect that it's possible to have your sensitivities more alight by a certain angle/side.

My algorithm is the same in all honesty. I will say though that in Ireland pro-Palestine stances have always been symptomatic of our own history as a repressed, colonised nation. Even our centre-right leaders have condemned both Hamas and expressed extreme caution and concern at the magnitude of the IDF response in the last week or two. We've historically been vigilant of Netanyahu's regime overstepping international laws and being a grand-stage bully. This should not be conflated with anti-semitism or outright rejection of the Israeli state.

In very practical terms, condemning the Hamas atrocities whilst not picking 'Team Western' and instead actually airing vigilance, context and caution to the cyclic history of bloodshed and oppression that precipitated these atrocities to begin with would seem to me to be the most humane, actionable stance as it speaks to prevention rather than reaction. Prevention is possible, reaction is inevitable.

Pissing in the wind, as they say.

Great post Stu.

Every time you post a quote from wiki you look like a fool.
I understand you have emotional resonance with this situation but almost every time you post in this thread, it's to insult somebody or let them know you don't want them to reply to you/won't be reading their responses. You do this whilst consciously (because you're doubtlessly clever) avoiding any posts clearly and cleanly articulating context you might not be comfortable with.

I'm not a lawyer and I don't suddenly expect you to stop doing this, but it feels helpful to address.

Anyway, there's a quick and easy low hanging fruit reply to this I'm sure that speaks to preferential genocide.

“If the Arabs put down their weapons today, there would be no more ‎violence."

The problem is that every single person who knows the history of the West Bank and illegal Jewish settlements/enclaves knows that this is patently not true. Since the founding of modern Israel, Israeli territory has expanded over time and Palestinian territory has shrunk. There's no way to argue against that - it's not an opinion, it's geographical fact. So the statement simply makes no sense.

I don't think there's even a remote possibility of that which is why I said you'd have to remove morals from the equation entirely; you would have to purge Palestine, which is in essence what the goal has been for many decades.

Cherie is right and it would prompt another generation of increased terrorism (but we're past the point of no return on that one). Ultimately, Israel as a nation with a clear, clean border would increase global stability.

Again for the record I'm not saying this is what should happen. But if you start to wrap your head around the logic behind it and who it benefits, a lot of things that on the surface make no sense start to come into much clearer focus.

We don't know how effective it would have been because it was moved out of the area the attack occurred in in the weeks before the attack. For whatever reason.

A conspiracy theorist might say that it was removed deliberately and utter the words "false flag"... Though I think being sensible, the more realistic explanation is that it was moved for valid reasons, and someone leaked the intel that there was a vulnerability.

It5's a shame that we have action man doll style posters, who will repeat one of 7 catchphrases in any and every thread, with just the pull of a chord. Although to be honest, if the posters that did this decided not to do it, they'd literally have to sit in silence as they would have nothing else to discuss, so you have to smile at the paucity of intellect on display.

Netherlands Government warns its citizens with a Code Red negative travel advice for Lebanon, and those who are there now, telling them to leave immediately



Tensions are high in Lebanon due to the escalated violence between Israel and Gaza. “Rocket attacks and shootings are being carried out from Israel and Lebanon in the border area. It is unpredictable whether this violence will spread to other parts of Lebanon,” the Ministry said.

Until now, the travel advice for Lebanon was orange - only visit if absolutely necessary. Code red only applied to the border regions.

Transavia canceled all its flights between Schiphol and Beirut in Lebanon until at least Tuesday due to the “increased uncertainty” in the region, a spokesperson told ANP. The KLM subsidiary already canceled all flights to and from Tel Aviv, Israel, until at least December 21

https://nltimes.nl/2023/10/20/well-anything-free-says-grandad-israeli-dutch-teen-abducted-hamas


The family of Ofir Engel, an 18-year-old teen abducted by Hamas and urgently granted Dutch nationality this week, is doing everything they can to free him. “We have to keep hope,” his grandfather, 77-year-old Jucha Engel, said from Israel. Outgoing Prime Minister Mark Rutte expressed condolences to the teen’s loved ones.

Jucha Engel told us by telephone that his grandson was with his girlfriend of about a year and her family in the kibbutz Be’eri when Hamas attacked Israel on Saturday morning, October 7. They looked for a safe place in the shelter, Engel said. “They sent a selfie around noon, but we didn’t hear anything after that.”

Later, Ofir’s family learned that Hamas had raided the shelter. “They shot the dog, and everyone had to go outside to the garden. Ofir, his girlfriend’s father, and a 16-year-old boy from the neighborhood were taken in a small car,” said Engel. The women were left behind and were in agony for hours. Only that night did Israeli soldiers help them and take them away from the kibbutz. “Their house is completely burned down. Everything is gone.”

Jucha Engel’s mother was Dutch. In the hope that international pressure would increase the chance that Hamas would let his grandson go if he also has Dutch nationality, he contacted the Dutch embassy in Israel. The Netherlands arranged a Dutch passport for the boy “very quickly” via an emergency procedure. “I have no words to express how it feels that the Netherlands is helping us so well.”

Ofir’s grandfather’s mother was a Jewish woman from Amersfoort. She helped many Jewish families in hiding near Wilp during the Second World War, he said. His father had forged their identity papers, so it was not clear that they were Jewish.

The family visits the Netherlands often. “We were also there with Ofir and other grandchildren. To show our history, which goes back hundreds of years.”

Ofir’s birthday was on Sunday, and he turned 18. The family - Jucha Engel has five children and 14 grandchildren - is together all the time in the kibbutz Ramat Rachel near Jerusalem, where Ofir lives with his parents. “We help each other and hold each other.”

Prime Minister Rutte expressed condolences to Ofir’s loved ones. He called the fact that one of the kidnapped in Gaza is someone with Dutch nationality “heavy and poignant.” He said he was working with Minister Hanke Bruins Slot (Foreign Affairs) and her “regional partners” to ensure the hostages were released.

Hamas captured many people during their attack on Israel and took them to Gaza. Hamas and other radical groups claimed earlier this week that they were holding 250 hostages. According to them, 22 hostages were killed by Israeli airstrikes.

Don't be silly Arista, they keep the hostages in hospitals and then blow them up themselves, it makes perfect sense.

Palestine supporters in London tear down posters of Israeli children kidnapped

Shocking footage has been posted online showing a female Palestinian
supporter in London ripping down posters of kidnapped Israeli citizens and
claiming there was 'inaccurate information' on them about women being raped.
Appalled witnesses filmed the young woman, who has not yet been identified
(left), clutching the torn down posters depicting the innocents taken hostage by
Hamas terrorists in Israel on October 7. In another incident, (right) a different
woman was tearing down posters to support Israel , accusing her confronter of
not caring about Arab victims, and telling her to 'go cry'.

A banker has been fired after she defended Hitler and the extermination of Jews following a devastating hospital blast in Gaza.

Nozima Husainova, 25, wrote on Instagram: ‘No wonder why Hitler wanted to get rid of them all,’ and ended it with a smiling emoji.

It followed an air strike on al-Ahli Baptist Hospital on Tuesday, which killed hundreds of people.

Hamas said Israel was to blame, but Tel Aviv then pointed the finger at a rocket misfire by Islamic Jihad, another terrorist group operating in the Gaza Strip.

Ms Husainova’s comment was met with outrage, and several people called on her employer, Citibank in New York, to sack her.

Citi Group, which owns Citibank, has confirmed she has now lost her job.

A spokeswoman told the Metro: ‘We terminated the employment of the person who posted the revolting antisemitic comment on social media. We condemn antisemitism and all hate speech and do not tolerate it in our bank.’

Very nicely put.

What is it about this particular conflict that gets so much attention, and what makes it so important to those with a particular political slant?

What makes them side with, and want to further empower, a movement which goes against everything we're meant to stand for? Only one side in that conflict treats women, gays, and non-believers as human beings.

See, I usually dismiss claims that "the left is antisemitic", and with the likes of Jeremy Corbyn I see it more as he being dismissive/not seeing it as racism so not treating it as such, rather than him actually holding actively antisemitic views.

That's a very fumbled way of saying I don't really think lefties in general (or Corbyn specifically) hold antisemitic views.

BUT - as that quote pointed out, why on earth would anyone actually advocate for Palestine, given the way Hamas treats their citizens and the views they hold? Could it be to do with who their enemy is?

The error in logic is assuming that because you recognise that one thing is wrong, you necessarily have to believe that the opposing side is right.

The Hague, Netherlands today another pro-palestine protest rally



Several hundred pro-Palestinian demonstrators marched from the Transvaal Park in The Hague to the Zuiderpark on Saturday morning.

Before the march, an Islamic prayer was held and an address was given to the crowd. "This march is not a march of aggression, but of peace," the speaker said. Through the march, the participants want to draw attention to the "injustices in the world and especially in Palestine."

Some participants brought Palestinian flags as well as protest signs and banners reading "Free Palestine." In addition, participants accused Israel of terrorism and shouted "Allahu Akbar." There is also one participant waving a green flag with Arabic text. The flag resembles that of Hamas, a group that is considered a terrorist organization by the EU, among others, but it is not. The police in The Hague wrote on X that the flag is not punishable.

The march ended in the Zuiderpark. There, several speeches were given from a small stage, calling for, among other things, to hang up the Palestinian flag and to boycott products from Israel. There were also prayers and a moment of silence. The demonstration ended just before 1:30 p.m.

The march was accompanied by the police, who are present with vans, horses, and bicycles, among other things. In addition, volunteers from the neighborhood also accompany the march.

It’s amusing that people are still trying to push the ‘Muslims don’t respect your sexuality!!’ thing towards people who want Israel to stop slaughtering innocent Palestinians on a daily basis.

Newsflash, most religions have subsections of people who twist their beliefs into bigotry, a lot of Christian’s would quite happily see lgbt people dead too, yet shockingly, I wouldn’t want them to face genocide either.

It’s all ‘respect other peoples views’ ‘stop pushing your views onto everyone else’ until it comes to Muslim people, then it’s perfectly fine to expect people to hate them and want to see them suffer for some of their views.

I don’t believe in the death penalty for pretty much the same reasons I will never support a government committing genocide against a population of people, killing for revenge is never justified, especially when those doing the killing are claiming to be morally superior to those they are killing.

What Israel is doing to Palestine currently and for the past 75 years is not defence, it is systematic ethnic cleansing on a mass scale, whether the innocent civilians dying would happily see me dead or not, frankly, doesn’t even begin to matter to my opinion on their murders

The line between the two is paper-thin and it's only due to a relatively VERY new social illusion that it appears otherwise -- and a delusion that it's necessarily permanent. The Christian Right is on a clear trajectory to being no different to hard-line Muslims or other religious fundamentalist groups.

It's not a paper thin line. Everyone, every day comes across things they dont agree with or don't like and they don't then go on to kill someone for it. Trying to say those that go out and murder are pretty much the same as those that don't, is mind blowing and completely wrong

I'm saying that you're falling into the trap of believing that recent history (a matter of a handful of generations) represents some great world truth.

Christians were killing people for not adhering to Christianity a few hundred years ago, Christians killing in the name of Christianity is historically just as precedented and normal as Muslims doing so, and you're being extremely naive if you think Christianity is "past that now" and can't slide backwards. It not only can, it demonstrably is doing so.

[edited to add] This is not a defense of killing in the name of Islam, just a kind reminder that there are no "goodies and baddies" when it comes to world religions, especially the Abrahamic ones. They're all absolutely swimming in blood. A handful of generations of [relatively, not entirely] peaceful Christianity doesn't suddenly negate thousands of years of violence, and again (vitally) doesn't mean there aren't still violent elements within Christianity. Growing elements. We ignore them at our peril.

https://www.thelocal.de/20231021/germany-sees-over-1100-offences-linked-to-israel-hamas-conflict


German police have recorded more than 1,100 offences in relation to the Israel-Gaza conflict since Hamas launched its deadly attack earlier this month, Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said Friday.

"These are preliminary figures... and investigations are underway everywhere," Faeser told journalists in a press conference at the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) in Wiesbaden.

Hamas militants stormed into Israel from the Gaza Strip on October 7, and killed at least 1,400 people, mostly civilians who were shot, mutilated or burnt to death on the first day of the raid, according to Israeli officials.

More than 4,100 Palestinians, mainly civilians, have been killed across the Gaza Strip in relentless Israeli bombardments in retaliation for the attacks by the Palestinian Islamist militant group, according to the latest toll from the Hamas health ministry in Gaza.

Since Israel began its bombing raids on Gaza, pro-Palestinian protests have erupted across major German cities despite widespread bans.

The recorded offences included "bodily harm... breaches of the peace, incitement to hatred and damage to property", BKA deputy chief Juergen Peter said at the same press conference. In all, a "low three-digit" figure of violent crimes had been recorded, Peter said.

Berlin had become a "hotspot" for offences, he said, with the majority occurring in the capital, where clashes between protesters and police were fiercest.

Police had made "hundreds of provisional arrests" in Berlin, Faeser said, adding that this was "the right response".

"Over 100 police officers have been injured by thrown bottles and fireworks" in the city, Faeser said, adding that "this violence... is in no way acceptable."

In all, 46 gatherings related to the conflict had been prohibited by authorities since October 7, Faeser said. By contrast, 211 pro-Israel events and 129 pro-Palestinian events had taken place in that period, Faeser said.

.

honestly when you ban something, everything illegal becomes more inviting for some of these crazy morons, same with a ban on fireworks, illegal fireworks are more fun for most

sad but good that the police are doing their job correctly, and recording everything on file, sad for the police officers who got injured :(

Police are investigating a Tube driver who has been slammed for leading a chant of "free, free Palestine" on a London Underground train.

Minister for London Paul Scully said staff should "focus on the day job" and warned against stoking tension in the capital following Hamas’ deadly attack on Israel two weeks ago, after footage of the chant circulated on social media on Saturday afternoon.

Conservative mayoral candidate Susan Hall told The Independent the behaviour was “completely unacceptable”.

There are multiple civilisations thousands of years old who believed the same, and are long gone because they were very wrong. As I said... we believe that we're any different at our peril. The only way to stop it from happening is to acknowledge that it absolutely can happen, and take off the blinkers when it is happening.

The current political situation in the US is terrifying and it's spreading to all of Europe, and fast.

How true this paragraph is
It's really not that clever a point, and it's been rubbished countless times.

It's also ready-bake copypasta sloganeering that begs an "And?"

What's your "And?" to this? That Palestine shouldn't be free because their current cultural and societal views are radically different to your own? That protesting against historical systematic oppression should only be done for tribes at a certain benchmark of societal evolution?

Granted I'm a layman who only dabbles in history, but a cursory glance at it would tell you that when people are engaged in a literal existential struggle, it's not fertile soil for much of any other kind of major overhauls to their way of life.

It's reductive, sneering discourse peddled by arch cynics who've driven up their own arses to build camp out of a cul-de-sac. The giveaway is that you could still word that point the exact same had Hamas never fired a rocket. You could deliver it with the same rotten sentiment, so it deserves to stand alone and be taken apart alone, on its own merit.

"Don't you be telling me about the misfortunes of brown Muslim children as an atheist democrat!"

Well it's a newspaper opinion piece so will be a bit editorial but it's great writing imo

That phrase in particular is a very loaded one which many people consider to be anti-Semitic because it basically calls for the elimination of Israel as a state. Even if you argue it doesn't mean that, it's still divisive and contentious yet will be parroted by many who often blind themselves to the sensitivities of the conflict and to the true colours of their allies because they romanticise the Palestinian cause.

The 'and' is that maybe they should take a step back and think about who they are supporting and think about why so many Jewish people now feel unsafe in the UK and Europe. The 'and' is that maybe there should be more acknowledgement that aspects of Palestinian leadership are part of the problem and also contributing to death. It's not sneering at them for holding radically different views, it's about what those views mean for Jewish people and people in Israel. I think instead people would often rather overlook that and instead just reassure themselves - 'I don't hate Jews though'.

Interesting to refer to a 'literal existential struggle' because for many people in Israel that basically sums up the history of the Jewish race.

No one is talking about British or Israeli Jews (in this thread). Anyone with a differing opinion has been talking about the Israeli government or the IDF. Not one person (as far as I've seen) has said anything negative about Jews from anywhere in the world. This is just absolutely false.

It does a massive disservice to the Jews across the world, who also oppose what has been happening in Gaza for decades, and plays into the "right kind of Jew" anti-Semitic tropes.

80% of Israelis blame Netanyahu, according to a poll in their oldest Newspaper.

There's nothing to play down. I've heard the clip, and you can tell by his voice that it seems good natured, not the scary mantra you're implying, to whip up the the London branch of Isis..

He will probably have an "acceptable speech over the tannoy" section in his contract, and if he's breeched the rules he will be punished. No need to beg the mayor for help.

Now this man deserves to lose his job for having his opinion? Just say you don’t want people to support Palestine and be done with it

He was not on him own time, he was driving a tube train and is there to serve all his passengers not just those going to a March....he could have taken the day off and gone on the March where would the issue be, you should just say you want Jews to feel as unsafe as possible in the UK and be done with it

There's nothing to play down. I've heard the clip, and you can tell by his voice that it seems good natured, not the scary mantra you're implying, to whip up the the London branch of Isis..

He will probably have an "acceptable speech over the tannoy" section in his contract, and if he's breeched the rules he will be punished. No need to beg the mayor for help.


Good natured, for whom? Him and the people going to the rally!!

Definitely not for the isolated jew sitting alone terrified incase he is recognised.

Saying "free Palestine" is not an attack on Jews. That's absurd. Jews were also out in force to protest for a free Palestine.

For the millionth time, "free Palestine" does not mean death to Jews. It just doesn't. The last 4 years has just been Galahads telling every other minority group that they don't have the right to not be offended, so I'm a bit confused.

What about other Jews that were on the train on their way to protest in solidarity with the Palestinian people?

I'm not sure that's as common as you think it is

Can't see many Jews wanting to be there amid a 300% rise in anti-Semitic incidents in the UK and amongst protesters chanting for jihad and the elimination of the state of Israel. Of course there will be some exceptions, just as you often get some non-white people in far right movements.

How common does it need to be? What's the percentage of the UK Jewish population that needed to be in attendance to qualify as also being worthy of consideration?

It's not that they're not worthy of consideration, it's this idea that the presence of a few Jews at a pro-Palestine march means the Jewish community as a whole has nothing to worry about or is not facing any discrimination

You do accept that anti-Semitism has been on the increase recently and we should be worried about that?

Of course I accept that AS attacks are on the rise, and probably haven't stopped rising yet, unfortunately.

The initial inference was that Jews all view things the same way. I've only pointed out that it's not true, and I didn't stray into any territory where I've dismissed a minority of Jews supporting Palestine, being equal to non-white people supporting white supremacy.

"Self loathing Jew" is a very real AS trope, and that's where you were heading - not for a second do i think intentionally, but still not a good argument to make imo.

On Wednesday night I had one of the most disturbing experiences in almost a decade since we founded Campaign Against Antisemitism. It exposed a chilling failing in how the Met polices London.

Our charity has enormous respect for the police and the risks that ordinary officers take in ensuring our safety here in the capital. But somewhere, the Met has taken a seriously wrong turn.

I saw this firsthand on Wednesday. In the early evening, there were protesters at a demonstration at Whitehall in which the chant “from the river to the sea” was heard. The Home Secretary has said that it is “a staple of anti-Semitic discourse”. The police were present but did nothing.

Those protesters then came to a van, contracted by our charity to raise awareness of the crimes of Hamas, a proscribed terrorist organisation, by displaying images of the child hostages. These protesters hurled abuse at the van, leaving our volunteers very shaken. The police, who were present at the scene, still did nothing.


If there are people threatening harm to other people, the priority of the police must surely be to stop the people threatening harm. But this seems to be less and less the case, and even more so in the past couple of weeks since Hamas terrorists murdered over 1,400 Israelis and took some 200 people, including babies, children and the elderly, hostage, and London’s streets have erupted.

When the police finally did decide to take action, it was – would you believe it? – against the van. They ordered it to shut down the images and leave central London. Why? Because it was a soft target. It was easier to order law-abiding citizens to take their humanitarian call for the return of child hostages elsewhere – ostensibly to keep the peace and ensure safety – than it was to arrest those who were trying to suppress our freedom of expression by blocking and intimidating the team in the van.

How is this policy of policing meant to reassure law-abiding citizens, Jewish or not?

The worst was yet to come. When the volunteers explained to me what had happened, I returned with the van to the same location. By then, no protesters were present. But the police again ordered the van to stop displaying the pictures — physically holding me aside until the drivers had done so — and get out of central London. Apparently there are too many people in London who might be offended at a reminder that a proscribed terrorist group has abducted Jewish children for the police to control.

The mob has won.

The Met released a couple of mealy mouthed statements, failing to take responsibility or apologise. But they also didn’t acknowledge what an abysmal failure of policing this is, because of what it says about the force’s priorities. All communities in London – including the Jewish community – deserve a policing policy that protects their rights, not the rights of those who mean us harm.

100% and I would argue it is definately British Transport Police issue as it involves the safety of the travelling public

So (while I agree on the unprofessionalism aspect) you're of the opinion that publicly expressing Palestinian-supporting sentiment is a public safety issue worthy of police involvement...

[Israeli forces have debuted a new weapons
system dubbed the 'Iron Sting', sharing video
of it being used to destroy Hamas
rocket launchers as they step up aerial assaults
and raids on terrorist squads in Gaza ahead of
a planned ground invasion.
The Israeli Defense Forces have already staged
'limited' raids to fight Palestinian gunmen
and said it is targeting sites where Hamas
was assembling to resist any wider
Israeli invasion. 'During the night there were
raids by tank and infantry forces.
These raids are raids that kill squads
of terrorists who are preparing for our
next stage in the war.

These are raids that
go deep,' chief military spokesperson
Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said in a briefing.
Hamas said the infiltration by what it described
as an armoured force took place east of
Khan Younis in southern Gaza.
As Israel promises an escalation
of its aerial strikes and hints an
invasion may be imminent,
Palestinian Prime Minister Muhammad Shtayyeh
told his cabinet that Gazans are being
'exposed to the Israeli murder machine'.]

err give your head a wobble, one was conducted whiie a driver was at his place of work and should have had his mind on the job, the second was at a peaceful protest to raise awareness for the kidnapped, or are you of the mind that they should stay and home and shut up, I thought you were all for people being able to peacefully protest?

I didn't say that the police were right or wrong in the second case and I was also clear on the first case; inappropriate for work (employer issue), not illegal (not a police issue). You were clear that it WAS a police issue, due to public safety.

Is your contention that you were saying that you thought the tube driver was creating a public safety issue because ... he was distracted and should have been concentrating on pressing the "go" button on the train? If so I apologise (but entirely disagree with the idea that that presents any sort of safety issue, lol) HOWEVER I assumed you considered it to be an issue of public safety because it might create an unsafe environment/civil unrest amongst those listening.

Which you seemed unconcerned about with the bulletin board; while the police were concerned.

Perhaps I have it wrong and you really were commenting on ... err ... the tube train driver's ability to speak whilst driving a train, which might cause ... I don't know. Him to forget where the brakes are or something?

You must really freak out when the pilot starts talking on flights :joker:.
