Middle East Conflict

Very impressive words and backing from Biden there for Israel.

Terrorists must never be allowed to win, never.

Because of the emotions and passions roused, we're trying to be reasonable here. But we need help from the members on this. As for your comment about other threads, and posters being removed, we don't remove as many as

A. You seem to think we do. And
B. As many as we probably should.

Of course, if you have an issue with the way the forum is being moderated, you are free to raise your concerns with @Ric. We don't claim to be perfect; all we say is that we do what we do for what we believe is the best interests of the forum.

I think before threads ever get pulled Jim posters should be turfed off. As why should other folk be punished.

So you keep saying despite @jimharri giving you an answer.

Perhaps make a Xmas style wish list of posters you think should be turfed off as you put it and send it in?

The thread can run without abusing each other. That abuse should be aimed at Hamas & the Israeli authorities.

But without getting to the route cause it just carry on, hopefully the US puts an equal amount of force in to getting peace and not kowtowing to the right wing extremists

Anyway the UN are now stating this is a grave situation in Gaza and are deeply worried. Some of the UN Human rights rapporteurs are saying War Crimes are now being commited with them withholding Food, Water etc for the civilians.

Apologies if someone has already posted this.

On Twitter (or X if you prefer), I keep tabs on Shiraz Maher’s feed. Maher is the author of the definitive book on Salafi-jihadism and a very measured and balanced commentator on terrorism.

His latest tweet was urging people to read this article.

He was right to do so. Whatever your position happens to be when it comes to this unfolding conflict, it’s a pretty extraordinary first-hand account of what it is like to know that Hamas are right outside your door.

I've said all I'm saying on the matter. Up to you whether you choose to ignore that.

The starvation of citizens as a tactic of war is absolutely a war crime under the Geneva Convention. So it would depend on exactly what they do.

Biden and Sunak have still said they are behind whatever Israel want to do. Totally 100%. So no one is going to challenge the War Crimes.

Of course they’re not. Nothing but lapdogs, always have been and always will be.

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Absolutely. But you absolutely can disagree with the tactics when they start coming out with shit like cutting off food, medicine and water to 2 million people. Even the Russians haven't publicly come out with a policy like that.

Putin has stopped Ukraine exporting thousands of ton's worth of Wheat, Grain, etc. As for Water and Medicine he would if he could.

Israel needs all the support it can get from the International community and for those who have cynically taken this crass opportunity to bang on about "Free Palestine" are no better than those extremists who support ISIS.

You're part of the PR wing of a terrorist state whether you like it or not.

I'm absolutely sick to the pit of my fucking stomach.

A terrorist state? It's their home and that's a ridiculous accusation to make.

Who are they lapdogs to?

Not to sure I'd want to be feeding somebody trying to kill me or my family if I'm being truthful, blockading enemies has been employed as a tactic as long as people have been trying to kill each other.
