Middle East Conflict

[TinFoilHat]

Israel’s ambassador to Britain continues to go unchallenged by our main political parties. Meanwhile a Labour MP has ban suspended by Starmer for saying a lot less. Clearly, Starmer thinks this is racism when it suits him.

It seems The Times has told a porkie.

"In 1944, the Royal Air Force bombed the Gestapo headquarters in Copenhagen. It’s a perfectly legitimate target, but the British pilots missed. And instead of the Gestapo headquarters, they hit a children’s hospital nearby. And I think 84 children were badly burned to death. That is not a war crime. That is not something you blamed Britain for doing."

Benjamin Netanyahu, during press questions today. Does he have a point?

"Is that a good enough excuse? Are you inflicting here collective punishment on the people of Palestine?"

For starters.
I could have sworn Germany had aircraft of their own during WW11.

I must be blind not to have seen the Palestinian airforce carrying out bombing raids on tel aviv.

lol who the fuck are you?

Can’t fact check your own posts but think everyone else owes you a sourced and referenced essay to explain things you should already know and could easily find out.

He needs to give his arse a chance.
The last 8 or10 pages full of him spamming vacuous bullshit has tempted me to use the ignore function for the 1st ever time.

Two other points
The RAF probably didn't know about the location of the hospital nor did they have the modern precision guided weaponry the Israelis have

"Part of the raid was mistakenly directed against a nearby school; the raid caused 125 civilian deaths (including 86 schoolchildren and 18 adults at the school)."

Come back to me when NPR have launched a campaign to tell the world Hillary Clinton is having ritual sacrifices of babies in a pizza parlour and gotten a crackpot to go in there shooting the place up.

Again, your evidence that Breitbart did this is...?

I think the difference we have is that you think you can "wipe out" Hamas through a short-term use of military force, and I (and I suspect others) don't think you can.

No. I think you can render Hamas or any terror organization practically ineffective. It's like someone with HIV who has taken drugs to suppress the virus into remission. So much so that you can't even detect the HIV in blood samples.

That, you haven't gotten rid of the virus entirely is wholely irrelevant. What's relevant is that it's practically ineffective. And that is achievable with a serious attack.

Terrorist are not superhuman or special. Let's stop ascribing nonhuman qualities to them.

Imo, the only way to defeat Hamas is to cut off the head through targeted, precision attacks against the leaders in Gaza when they pop up out of their holes, targeted assassinations of the leaders in Qatar and Iran using special forces (let's face it, the Israelis aren't shy of doing that) and then working on a diplomatic solution to the Israeli/ Palestinian problem and on the US/ Iran sabre-rattling using grown-up diplomacy. Time to forget about revolution, hostages and failed rescues. It's a slow strangling of Hamas, rather than a decapitation, that will work imho.

Of course, this could all be bollocks. I am perfectly able to accept that :)

I agree with you on targeted assassination in Qatar. But like I said, a multifaceted approach is best and most effective.
