View Full Version : Gaza appeal.

Should we donate to the Gaza appeal fund?
Could the funds fall into the wrong hands that want to attack Israel?
ITV will show the Gaza appeal ad but the BBC have pulled out due to the above, are the BBC right to do so? Many people are protesting outside the BBC today because of this...
Hammas rule Gaza with fear and terror and need weapons to fight Israel, should the UK public donate money?
JOSHUAH!
24-01-2009, 02:15 PM
I seen this on the TV today, about the BBC declining to show it. I suppose they are right to be cautious, obviously we dont want the money going to Hamas who would spend it on bombs and weapons to attack Israel.
But on the other hand, the BBC don't want to look biased towards Israel. IIRC, the BBC have Arabic radio and television channels, so if their viewers in the Middle East are hearing this, it may turn viewers away?

Sure, civilian death is always a bad thing, but it's often the consequence of absolute nutters in power. Precisely what Hamas are. I'm not particularly sympathetic.

Hamas fire rockets from schools, hide weapons in peoples homes and hospitals... They are thugs that use fear to control the people of gaza.. Sending money to Gaza will only fall into the wrong hands and will give Hamas greater power to control the people that they use as pawns!
I don't like the idea of turning our backs on the Gaza strip completely, but I agree that it seems silly to be giving them money that could be squandered when we, the UK, are in need of money right now.

For once I think the BBC are right, because as the main broadcaster its going to look like the UK are becoming biased
The BBC has already got thousands of complaints about bias on this matter so this is the last thing they need to be showing.
And I think more could be being done than airing an appeal around the world to solve this situation in the long term, just a waste of time,money and effort.

Go down the page
check Tony Benn - You Tube link.
The Stuffy Bloated BBC
have it very wrong.
Ch4 News is better than any Bloated BBC News.
The BBC wants to be the main Broadcaster
but they are Not.
It is a open market now.
Like 'The Wire ' on FX channel.
The BBC does not buy the correct shows
I want my money back
The BBC ain't worthy of the BBC Tax.

Gaza have asked for what has happened to them for a long time, they did deserve what was coming to them. Sounds harsh but Israel have just put up with it until now. Don't feel very sympathetic plus the money will probably fall into the wrong hands.
JOSHUAH!
26-01-2009, 04:42 PM
Xander, I don't think its fair to say innocent civilians such as children and women should be killed, which sort of what you're implying.
On the news, it said Israel had only killed about 45 Hamas fighters, with the rest being civilians. Now remember that 1000+ people died.
It's not right. I never ever would go on Hamas' side, because their a terrorist group, however, there is no justification for killed babies and toddlers.

Basically the point I'm trying to prove is along the lines of what Shaun was saying.
I know children etc have died but thats down to the fault of Hamas carrying out there ways, surely Israel were going to retaliate one day..

So they get away with it.
But SkyNews on Sunday
showed how Nasty Israel used Illegal
fire power on people in Gaza.
That burnt through their skin into bones.
The Bloated Pro Jewish BBC

That UK Charity Group will not allow money to go into the wrong hands.
Out in Gaza offices of the Red Cross, for example,
are staffed to deal with giving help
on the ground.
And the People of Gaza
never asked for this.
That is a Fact.
Good on Ch4 /ITV and Five

Hamas use the people as pawns in their vile ways... Hamas support children to become bombers to kill jews!
Hamas support the death to all jews!
Hamas use the death of the normal people of to gain support for their vile sick movement!
None of this is new and goes back many many years.
This is going to sound quite harsh but I actually don't care. I've got other worries atm than just donating a few quid which might not even go somewhere, and donating to a cause I hardly know anything about, and something that isn't affecting me.

The money raised is going to charities such as Care and Save the Children, obviously this money will mainly go into redevelopment. It won't go into the hands of Hamas if the charities are careful.
I just don't get how some people can't see that it was wrong for Israel to target children. Fair enough, target Hamas but why children?
I know some of you are saying they would be brought up to hate Jews and Israel, but its not always the case. There is an area in Gaza were Palestinians and Jews live together in peace, we learn't about it in R.E.

Yes the Massive Troops went in

So the Charirty Appeal

I think we have so much poverty and deprivation in our own country that its a shame people are not a little more focused on what is happening here.

They had plenty of warnings about the attacks but hamas made people stay near the rocket launch sites etc, anybody did any other then hamas would kill anybody that dont agre with them, they control the people with fear, pure fear!
Hamas dont care about the people, and will continue to use them as pawns to gain media support... Evil twisted sick tactics by hamas!

I dont want to sound argumentative, but I think this is a completly ignorant and rather rude statement to make. Wherever we live, we all share problems, and our world ending 'credit crunch' is just a spec of dust in comparrison to what is happening over there.

The 'poverty' is non-existent compared to what happens there. Look out your ****ing window, do you see people dying, starving, people being murdered?

My eyes are wide open thanks, I have my views, you have yours. It is only ignorant when I make a post without being armed with the facts. I am armed with them and still choose to want things made better in our own country instead of getting involved in something that will rage on for years without resolution because both sides are unprepared to see things from the other side.
As for money not being given to the military, it isnt really a choice, they take what they want and we will have not control over it.
I do feel for the people in Gaza but I equally care about the state of our already fragile economy that is forcing more and more people out of work daily and into potential poverty. We can little afford to be involved in financially aiding another country when ours is in such a terrible state itself.
I already donate money to several charities on a monthly basis, they are charities that help the starved, beaten children of this country so an unprepared to give any further even as a one off.

We in the U.K. are, in general, lucky enough to (for the most part) have access to homes to live in. People die, people starve, and people get murdered behind closed doors. Just because it's not splashed on the news, doesn't mean it doesn't happen. We hear of deaths all the time on the news, and our troops get killed when we decide to go charging in to help somebody else. I think it's equally as ignorant to challenge Sunny like that, when she's got her own opinion and so do you.
People that suffer in our country don't always have access to the means to survive. Why do you think homeless people are homeless? It's not a choice; they are stuck in an endless cycle of poverty and can not get out of it. If it was that easy, they wouldn't be on the streets. Do you give money to every homeless person you see in the street? If you do, only then can you truly say the things you said re: the Gaza crisis, because it's all very well to care about something, but it's another thing entirely to accuse people of needing to open their eyes about what's going on around them - we all do.
I still don't think we should be concerned with the Gaza Strip situation, I think that we, the U.K., need to let somebody else handle this one. We already made a mess of Iraq, there is no need for us to go charging into Israel and make more enemies.

Those innocent children can't vote anyway, so it doesn't particularly matter. There's harsh casualties in any war, and it just goes to show how stupid Hamas are to pick continually at Israel when Israel are much stronger and well-armed than they are.
If you were 4 foot 8 and picked a fight with a 6ft 8 professional wrestler, you'd have to be an idiot and would quite frankly deserve the consequences.

Currently they don't see " made in the uk" on food parcels or aid etc ... they see " made in the uk" on weapons and handcuffs.
And please don't compare the hardship in the uk in recession with the hardship in Gaza. Even if you did have a family of 5 and were living in a park in a bif UK city you'd still have a welfare system in the to support you.

this is the other rubbish argument for not sending money. "Hamas will use it to continue it's war". Aid agencies don't give cash to Hamas, they spend the money themselves ( locally when possible) to build schools, hospitals etc. Obviously there needs to be some Hamas involvement as far as planning goes. With 5 or 6 aid agencies all planning to build schools, clinics etc there's a possibility that the cash will be wasted by doubling up on services. If the planning of where it all goes isn't organised they'd be huge wastage. And believe it or not this is one of Hamases roles...Hamas aren't just a terror organisation they are, for better or worse, the government and welfare state. They provide welfare payouts, fund schools... the lot. Usually from cash via Iran and Saudie money too. That's why they are so loved despite being equally responsible for bringing so much death to it's people. Isreal are in effect keeping Hamas in power by further radicalising the population... Humas knows this and dolls out the Iranian and Saudie money and says.”see only we care... the west and Isreal hate you” Hamas were the winners in that last war... the civilians were again the biggest losers.

Yes, you can blame the Palestinians for voting in Hamas, but surely not those innocent children?

Those innocent children can't vote anyway, so it doesn't particularly matter. There's harsh casualties in any war, and it just goes to show how stupid Hamas are to pick continually at Israel when Israel are much stronger and well-armed than they are.
If you were 4 foot 8 and picked a fight with a 6ft 8 professional wrestler, you'd have to be an idiot and would quite frankly deserve the consequences.
this is the guy that believes in creationism (scary!)... calls himself a Christian ( please stop that...your embarrassing me)...and who's line "those innocent children can't vote anyway, so it doesn't particularly matter." makes no sense at all and if anything backs JOSHUAHs point of view instead of it being the smack down he'd hoped for :P

Of course not, but with that logic lets blame the arabs from the 7th century with the take of east roman (byzantine) lands.. No that would be silly.
Hamas have a goal to destroy Israel.. That is well known, even your eastern greek church will agree with that.
Hamas will never stop and they get the full support from Iran...
Hamas are a legal elected government... So was that party in germany, you know... Sure you do.
Plus does ange7 have his own opitions on the topic.. Or any other topic? Lol.. Thats one thing you aviod..

... your keep rabbiting on about how evil hamas is as though I've ever defended them... have I... no. I've even spoken here about hamas's ulterior motives for continuing the was with Isreal because it's how it defines itself and gets cash from Iran etc to fund that war. I could have attacked Israel's historical record... it has far far more blood on it's hands but honestly this thread isn't a blame game that you want it to be. You answered JOSHUAH 's question about the the young children by saying “oh well that's war... hamas are evil!”. We get it … they are... but the question remains should innocent suffer. What crime has kid under 10 done? Some nut jobs on this thread even said “they deserve it... they can't even vote!!” lol wtf.... madness...
“Hamas have a goal to destroy Israel.. That is well known, even your eastern greek church will agree with that. “
Who the fck argued against that? Are you just muttering to yourself now? And what's with this b*llshit “ even your eastern greek church”. As though my religion is the stupidest of all religions... that even we get it. The whole world gets it mate because Hamas have the destruction of Isreal in their constitution ….gawd... it's hardly secret Einstein..... but irrelevance to the debate given that I never contested that point so did you go there.. Oh was it you trying to be nasty by attacking my church? Lol...try again champ...
"7th century with the take of east roman (byzantine) lands No that would be silly."
you what now? Lol mate your starting to scare ..end the weirdness please..
"Hamas are a legal elected government... So was that party in germany, you know... Sure you do."
Again ... it ain't about hamas it's about the civilians ( on both sides) that are suffering.... question was should we help... why keep moaning about hamas ...we get it dude but the humanitarian aid doesn't go to hamas despite all your repeated lies saying that you KNOW that it does. Mate aid agencies make it there business to make sure donated money doesn't get syphoned off. If it did their reputations would be lost. Your confusing the issue with aid that get handed to the governments in Africa etc by Western governments and get used to buy yachts and casinos. Government to government aid. These are 2 different things … aid agencies account for every cent.
"Plus does ange7 have his own opitions on the topic.. Or any other topic? Lol.. Thats one thing you aviod"
mahaha I'm avoiding what? ...mate even blind freddy can see what my position is... lol when has anyone not known my position on anything? I ram it down people's throats over and over again yet apparently even that is still too subtle for you . OK hint for andy …. I've gone through these posts and disagreed with EVERY person who, for one reason or another, has said none should give aid to the kids of Gaza. ….so?.....my position must be that I? …...
a. ( support) OR
b. (don't support) giving to the gaza appeal
....correct I support giving money …. the hint was in the last 5 posts arguing we ought to give money to the gaza appeal ( ffs)

I call myself agnostic actually, so there's another point you've totally missed. I also said I don't know which I believe regarding evolution, but was more inclined to believe creationism, not an avid follower. Check your facts, especially when they're already irrelevant to this topic.
And as I've said, it's Hamas' responsibility alone to repay the debt owed to their area's children and casualties, as this conflict was started by them. Whilst I applaud anyone else's charity and initiative to donate to those hurt, I don't see anyone having sympathy for the Israeli casualties.
Therefore I made my point a political one; there's only more focus on the Gaza strip because they were damaged more, a consequence of petty wars picked with stronger neighbours.

Ooh yes Shaun.. really mate. “another point” I've missed huh.. have you made a point yet? You said you leaned most towards creationist theory... or did you not say that?. Then ( lol) you said your an agnostic, I presumed you threw that in there to try to impress so I ignored it. You can't have an agnostic position and yet have sympathies for creationism. That's nuts mate. Agnosticism is a position people only come to after years of inner reflection and thought, it requires the dissection of years of religious doctrine …. creationism on the other hand is a position that has ZERO logic behind it. Honestly …. every logical underpinning of creationism as long since been shown to be rubbish. When you hear the world “creationist” just think to your self “ right wing Christian fundamentalist” lol... you can't be that AND a little bit agnostic. Sorry dude but your winging it. But then again you did say "I know I don't know a lot about science OR religion" over on the “Half of Britons do not believe in evolution“ thread so let's leave that their shall we.
Re the point of the topic and regarding the innocent of the civilian dead …I'm talking of the kids, the mums and newly disabled..all the people your arguing deserved what they got.... my point was yep hamas are b@stards but the money goes to help the needy not hamas. To which you responded with...
“Those innocent children can't vote anyway, so it doesn't particularly matter.” This make zero sense to me … the fact that they don't vote is in the kid's favour ...not against them... ooops do you see what you did there?
Does that mean they deserve what they got? Your basing all this on your idea that “Hamas' responsibility alone to repay the debt owed to their area's children and casualties, as this conflict was started by them “ but that shows how little thought you've put into it. That's the blame game and that's been going on “tit!” or tat since the nation of Isreal was created and the Palestinians were forcibly evicted from their own lands. Mate it ain't about who's to blame... it's about...”are innocent suffering?...can we help?”. Probably a foreign concept to you mate
then you said
“....a consequence of petty wars picked with stronger neighbours. “
plus
“If you were 4 foot 8 and picked a fight with a 6ft 8 professional wrestler, you'd have to be an idiot and would quite frankly deserve the consequences. “
I've got to talk about this too...lol...so your saying here that if you believe in something but the odds are against you then you really ought to give up and take it up the @rse. And if you don't then you deserve what you get? Am I dreaming all this ...are you real?

Wrong. There are human rights charities that have alot of power to ensure that money goes to the right places...and the Israelies have been as cold as Hamas in the way theyve handled themselves. Theres been widespread and corroborated reports of cold bloodied and targeted killing/maiming of women and children. You might not have any empathy for ordinary families being torn apart and women and children being maimed and killed but thank god other people do!

"More people agree with me than you" ... you came up with nothing on every point but you won because ""More people agree with me than you" ... who talks like that?
Buddy... what is right and what is wrong IS NOT a democratic process. If you and 10 others say 1 + 1 = 3 .... that doesn't make it right. Argue the points one by one as I've gone to the trouble of arguing them. Don't try yet again to short circuit the debate by claiming the win just because more people agree with you. Big deal.... bring an argument if you want to impress.

dude.... your the one putting up the proposition that hanmas will steel the money from aid organisation. That's YOUR proposition.... you need to back it up. You can't make a statement and then argue it by asking people to disprove it 100% .... it's your argument... but instead of bothering with proof you just pulled it out of your arse. DO YOU GET IT? I don't need to PROVE your point is wrong until you actually put up some evidence or argument for why it's right. I've said that when it comes to funds falling in the wrong hands it usually government aid... ie Government to government aid where there is next to no transparency. In the case of charity money they make it there business to make all that info totally transparent and accessible. Your argument was " yeah but hehe can you guarantee hehe 100%?!!! NO haha so I win" FFS mate...even you must be bored of you.

By that I mean slapped each others backs with your hands....... not w@nked each other off in some gay sex kind of way... let me just make that clear lest I'm misunderstood and the reported.( quality?)
You just keep going round and round...asking for 100% proof.
Here's the point .... your trying too prove the existence of something by demanding proof that it doesn't exist. ( stay with me mate...) eg nut jobs and wing nuts that believe in space man will argue for the existence of spacemen by asking "well do you have proof that they don't exist...100%?". It's not up to us to disprove your theory that humanitarian aid money will go to hamas... it's up to you to prove it does get diverted. At this point I'd settle anything....you've come up with nothing. Admin Edited. James.
Andyman so you'll only donate if you get a 100% guarantee? dude do what you like... this isn't about me getting you to give... it's about you trying to convince us that we ought not. Lol 100% guarantee...you want that from me? I'm not their accountant. What position am I to give a 100 % guarantee mate... and even if I could you know you still wouldn't donate. Out in the big wide world ( the thing behind those closed shutters you peer out of everyday) you don't get 100% guarantees. Will the sun rise tomorrow? probably...but 100%... nah a meteor might hit and bang it over. Is the fact that I can't give you a 100% guarantee prove anything?... no mate it's not.

Generally it is best not to personalize posts by including user names but instead be more general in your replies. This has two advantages for the debate, firstly it avoids flame wars and secondly it opens up the debate to more replies from more members.
Just remember when writing a reply use the same courtesy that you would show when speaking face-to-face with someone and know it's fine to disagree strongly with opinions, ideas, and facts, as long as you show respect for the other person.
