Israel under attack

[gas112]

I have never started such a thread, its not me that is protesting and getting all worked up about Gaza. I'm still genuinely curious as to why so many people have taken such a massive interest in this conflict.

I merely mention other recent conflicts involving Arab nations to put this one into some perspective. well over a million Arabs killed by other Arabs in horrible brutal wars and it barely makes the news and there is no flag waving protesters. But 10,000 killed by Jews and the world is outraged.

So please tell me why this conflict is affecting you so much. Is it a hatred of jews or are you just being swept along by the media?

so your just bumping your gums and dont really have any interest in darfur your just attempting to score some sort of point against brown and black babies dying , Why dont you start a topic on how many african and indian kids die of the ****s each year . Far more than any war conflict and in reality far easier and cheaper to deal with ......i dont see any mention from you f the millions that have died of this

We have sent billions and billions in foreign aid to the countries where this happens, the problem is that certain cultures simply have zero interest in solving the problem...

Not much more we can do...

How is that relevant to anything?

You just trying to cause an argument as usual?

Oh look a salty Tory voter

As I have said, I am not the one protesting, but you clearly are - so my question again, why has this conflict affected you so much more than other conflicts that were far worse ?

I'm not trying to score points here, I am genuinely curious in why the massive interest in this conflict. Like all wars in far away lands i'm not very interested, humans like killing each other and they have done since time immemorial. Too many people anyway!
But this Israel / Palestine thing has got folk all over the world protesting and waving flags - WHY? what is different with this mass slaughter to all the other far greater mass slaughters that the majority of us just shrug our shoulders at.

There should be a two state solution with both sides being accommodated

That would be the ideal solution.
The Israelis appear to support the creation of a Palestine state.
The only problem is that they don't want it in Palestine.

even if you put one lot in Australia and the other lot in Canada, they would still be trying to kill each other, they're both barking mad.

And just note, these figures of 11,000 Palestinians killed, of which 4,500 are children could well be propaganda, it is Hamas' propaganda, there are no official figures, and clearly, even to the most deluded souls, Hamas are going to exaggerate the numbers.

Last week, Barbara Leaf, assistant US secretary of state for Near Eastern affairs, told a House panel that the number of those killed in Gaza – home to 2.3 million people – is likely “higher than is being cited”. The Health Ministry had previously explained its methodology for compiling data on Palestinian casualties.

Once a victim who arrives at the emergency department of a government hospital is identified, their data, including ID number and personal information, along with the time of arrival, are recorded in the hospital’s computerised information system. Each hospital also records the cases of death for the wounded who spent a period in the hospital before their death.

The daily information about the killed Palestinians is transferred from the decentralised hospital system to the central database of a government registry. Non-governmental hospitals use their own forms to record data about the victim as soon as they arrive. Then, these forms are sent to the Health Information Centre at the Ministry of Health within 24 hours for entry into the central database. The ministry processes the data, verifies its completeness, and ensures there are no duplicates or errors after the transfer is completed. The ministry’s information centre prepares daily reports, which are sent to the government-run Health Emergency Operations Centre for approval and dissemination.

Israel has revised downwards the death toll from last month’s Hamas attacks in the south of the country from 1,400 to about 1,200, a foreign ministry spokesperson said. The revision is “due to the fact that there were lot of corpses that were not identified and now we think those belong to terrorists … not Israeli casualties,” they said on Friday.

Israeli government is full of lies.

Remember, the first casualty of War is always the TRUTH.

Speaking of Assad, does anyone know when the next demonstration is against the massacre of 600,000 Syrians?
or don't they matter?

There was a big demo more recently by Syrians in ME for calls for Assad to be tried under war crimes.

I'm no bigot.

Hating a lying, murderous regime like Netanyahu's government doesn't mean I apply that feeling to the decent good Jewish ppl.

Some who want Zionists out and support Palestinian ppl.

 

[Odds]

When the far-right turn up to protest in support of Israel something has gone badly wrong with the world.

I've said a few times that it is too easy for Israel to point to the aims of Hamas as a justification for what they are doing.

If the eradication aim was dropped, although it is embedded in Islam, then hopefully pressure could be put on Israel to accept a solution.

It looks pretty bleak at the moment though.
