Middle East Conflict

I presume it’s in reference to the alleged beheading of babies, which as far as I’m aware is still actually unverified. The very fact that babies were massacred is probably more important than arguments about the actual nature of their killing though.

Yes, its a great argument isn't it? "They didn't behead them they only shot them, the reports were false, just propaganda".

Russia sharply condemned Israel's strikes (according to Russian media statements) at the airports of Damascus and Aleppo.

“These actions by the Israeli side represent a gross violation of the sovereignty of the Syrian Arab Republic and the basic norms of international law. In the context of a sharp aggravation of the situation in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict zone, such forceful actions are fraught with extremely dangerous consequences, since they can provoke an armed escalation throughout the region. This is not the case. “in no case should it be allowed to happen,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement" ..

Those cunts have got some brass neck.

I thought that too Ric about babies being massacred. Despicable. I think most posters feel that Hamas are so evil that they are capable of such terrible crimes. I also think fair points were also made about reporting can be in an inaccurate during war times.

Given the highly emotive and horrific scenes (on both sides) and that there are diametrically opposed partisan views, I think this thread has been a good one overall. Far better than some in the past.

I think it's clear to virtually everyone on here that there are no winners and only losers from this action. Even people who take a pro-Palestinian view have been appalled by the Hamas action and all but the most pro-Israeli are highly critical of their actions as well.

Top post PB.

Truly awful scenes and stories from both sides of the conflict onnthe news. Hamas commit horrific attrocities and incite justified Isreali revenge.

However despite backing Israels right to hunt down and 100% destroy Hamas. I find the scenes from the Gaza strip after bombing of civilians and the lock down on the entire population horrific.

If I lived in Gaza as a normal person and came home to find my wife and family killed by an indiscriminate Isreali air strike I would be picking up a gun a trying to kill as many of the IDF personnel as I could. This violence perpetrates more violence. What a total nightmare.

I don't know why Israel's revenge is justified. I understand the anger, and I was sickened by Hamas's terroristic acts. But an attack on the Palestine people in Gaza is exactly what Hamas wants.

I know it's going to be hard, but Isreal's retaliation should be to strike at Hamas. Frankly, the UN should strike at Hamas. But not with bombs on Gaza.... With pressure on Qatar and Iran and paying moderates to kidnap and kill these folks off.


Hamas is a stain on Palestine. Erase it. Not the Palestinians.

They have lots of that, didn't they virtually dismantle Aleppo a few years ago ?

Far from an isolated incident in their history.

I’m not one of the posters you’re talking about, but whats the point in posting this?

You don’t actually believe that the posters you’re referring to don’t care about babies being tortured and beheaded. No one believes that.


So the only reason you’re posting it is to throw petrol on the fire again. Or you think it’s worth some sort of points in some fucked up morality game?

It’s the absolute worst of this thread and online forums in general. Fuck off with it.


Bluemoon is a good forum, this is the leading news story in the world, and some of us would like to follow and discuss it without the minority turning it into an excuse to troll, fan flames and pretend people are indifferent to the murder of innocent children.

Well said. I think the majority of posters just want to be able to discuss what is clearly a seismic global story free from this sort of stuff.

To their credit, many with close emotional ties to either side of the debate have been able to do so. Any right-minded person will be appalled by the deaths of innocent civilians on both sides.

Does feel like a small minority are intent on stoking the fires of hatred though, using inflammatory language or allegations to goad others. If that’s your intention then please stay away from the thread, or face a thread ban.
