You know that Hebron isn't in Gaza?

and….

So you're calling the West Bank a war zone?

Don’t want to get overly technical but do you know what GBH stands for? Because there’s no evidence of any in that clip. It’s assault, definitely. Maybe that’s what you were trying to say tbf.

Indeed, it is more of ABH assault less of GBH.

In a world of guerilla warfare, where children wear IEDs and are spotters for their masters, there is no “nonchalantly hanging out on a street corner.”

Equating that with “in our country that’s GBH,” is naive nonsense. Uniform or no uniform, everyone is a threat.

Oh, brilliant. Open season.

And punching him is going to stop him setting off his imaginary bomb? Should have just shot him. Poor kid should be grateful he's alive.

It is clear that your zealotry has caused you to lose your faculties, or at least your English comprehension. As evidenced by your other posts, this is clearly very personal to you, and is thus clouding your judgment. For that, I forgive you. Putting words in my mouth and twisting what I said is less easily forgiven.

It is a war zone. One doesn’t have the luxury of your armchair liberalism.



Absolutely, everyone is a threat until proven otherwise.

If I had a child in that war zone, I would hope I’d taught him enough street smarts to not stand around, alone, legs folded, leaning on the corner, as if he was waiting for a bus in Piccadilly!

I’m not sure where your “your country, your rules” comes from, but if it’s my screen name and America you are referring to, that’s silly. If you’re saying Israel and IDF fighting a guerilla war, I’d say you’ve finally stumbled into the truth.

Clearly, you believe Israel is wrong and the Palestinians are somehow right. I’m going to go with Israel and Palestine were operating under a very tense mutual stand off. That was broken on October 7th in a way that was meant to provoke EXACTLY what is happening. Indeed, I believe outside actors have, once again, stepped across the line to increase regional tensions, for reasons I cannot fully know. What I do see, however, is that while it has created rising tensions in this region, it has distracted from tensions in another. All of that is playing out against a backdrop of global elections that are going to affect who are the leaders of half the world’s population.

2024 is a very big year politically, globally. The face of geopolitics could change dramatically. In my own country, the election will definitely have global indications, impacting relations in Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

Does the world want Trump or Biden? Does Israel? Iran? Russia? China? Ukraine? Europe? NATO?

A smacked arse on the street of a war zone? Not exactly earth shattering, but you do you.

I'll put words in your mouth.

It is expedient that one Palestinian gets thumped for the sake of your basketcase country.

I do think we're headed for a boycott of all things israeli. No matter how much our govn support them. Like apartheid like thatcher supporting the South African govn... people know right from wrong.

And so it begins.

Always important to celebrate a bit of ethnic cleansing with a dance

I presume the scripture scroll is not Isaiah: "They shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more."
