Middle East Conflict

I guess that makes it alright then, hey ? WTF

I’ve just said it’s wrong. Try telling the Windrush Generation those stats and see what response you get.

Err No. As he's stated its Wrong!

Followed up by basically stating that it's so low that it doesn't really count. It's not so much about the reported number but the huge increase, that will likely rise a lot further.

He said it was wrong and then you accused him of saying it was alright, why even pretend you’re arguing in good faith?

Increasingly it’s clear that some posters int his thread just want to throw petrol on the fire and have everything devolve into slinging insults at each other.

Why, what religious discrimination did they face ?

But why should it be allowed to?

I asked the same question after 9/11. Why should a couple of dozen extremists, who got lucky, partly because of inept US airline security, be allowed to change the course of human history, and impact on so many lives in the way they did, to such little discernible benefit? Especially as that was precisely what they wanted to happen.

The two situations aren’t identical, of course they aren’t, but there are parallels. As appalling as this tragedy is, it shouldn’t be a catalyst for full scale war across the Middle East when Israel isnt under any existential threat as a consequence; and moreover because what happened at the weekend was, to some extent, like 9/11, avoidable if catastrophic failures in Israeli security hadn’t occurred.

Israel needs to take a step back. Respond proportionately, but don’t get sucked in. That’s exactly what Hamas want.

Because tragically it’s what a lot of people want.

Netanyahu and the more far right Israelis, Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, Russia, lots of Americans….there’s a lot of people who either don’t care or simply want a full scale conflict to erupt.

So you want your own version of Sharia Law then lol.

What does that even mean in the context that you confused religion with race ?

I believe in equality. Not minorities demanding better treatment (regardless of race or religion) than the rest of the population.

Why, who is demanding the better treatment?

This is some tangent you are off on BTW
