The Israeli / Palestinian Conflict In Ten Minutes

[sp1814]

I was hoping someone would put out an explainer.

Very useful for those who want an understanding of how we got to where we are today.

Israel was there 3000 years ago love! PMSL!

if you really think that naomi then you have no right at all to express outrage at hamas atrocities when you are happy to support the IDF killing masses of civilians with bombs and also preventing them from leaving. you are the one having it both ways. 

[naomi24]

Untitled. I have as much right as you to express my opinion.  That you don't agree with me is neither here nor there.

fair enough naomi. at least you are finally honest enough to say that you agree with genocide, you have long wriggled on that particular topic 

 

i will observe however that you are quite happy for some innocents to be killed but not others and therefore your opinion does look rather hollow and dare i say evil

[DTCwordfan]

And who engineered the creation of the Israeli state - only we Brits at the height of our post WW1 munificence.

untitled: "no i would not. i am also not willing to support mass killing of blameless civilians by the IDF in the cause of some ideological war with islam..." - but you are quite happy with beheading babies? Burning teenagers? house to house murder? right I get the picture standard left tawtism!

[Untitled]

not at all toratoratora. i consider those things unconscionsble and have referred to them as atrocities repeatedly... do try to read what i say before replying

[naomi24]

Untitled, I didn't say that.  If you can't have a discussion without attempting to denigrate your opposition with lies, I would suggest that in future you find something to talk about where you can manage to remain civil.

[Untitled]

yes you did. 

[DTCwordfan]

we should have offered them the Falklands rather than Patagonia...but then could they have put up with the Welsh and their sheep who had emigrated to Argentina? Llamb is of course kosher but are penguins?

However, if they had said yes, Galtieri and his mob would have been hesitant to take on trying to get the Malvinas back when face by the Israeli military - oh, the learning lessons of history if it had been rewritten.

[naomi24]

No, untitled, I didn't.

i am being civil naomi. if you cut off food and water to a place, prevent the people from leaving, and then bombard it with lethal artillery with all those people still inside then that is genocide. there is no other word for it. you have not once disputed this and continued to say that you agree with it.

there is no moral difference between doing those things and going into a village to massacre everyone with knives and guns. None. the only difference is technique. both are horrifying acts of terror.

DTC: "However, if they had said yes, Galtieri and his mob would have been hesitant to take on trying to get the Malvinas back when" - they are the Falkands. i did a night in Jail the last time i heard the M word in my company.

[naomi24]

Untitled, get a grip and read what I've said.

[ToraToraTora]

untitled: " am being civil naomi. " - no you are not. If you support these scum then you are one of them and fair game.

[Redhelen72]

TTT love do you believe God gave it to them too?

bless you that you think I am a 5C

I have read every word naomi. at least have the courage to stand by your opinions.
