Josephus,

No one in their right mind is supporting this conflict.
And it is disgraceful for you to again point fingers at
people with different views. Go say a prayer and ask for
guidance. Your heart appears to be full of venom where you
need to strike out at people.

Yuyutsu,

Professor Elan Pappe is not an extremist. He's been described
as one because he presents the history of the state of Israel
in a way that encompasses the narrative of the Palestinian
people. A bold ambition in a society in which militarism,
nationalism, and religion are potent unifying forces.

Criticism of Pappe's work is not surprising given that his
work has sought to challenge the accepted truths in a
divided land. This led to his being forced to resign from
the University of Haifa in 2007. He now teaches at Exeter
University in the UK and is highly respected by students
and fellow colleagues.

When religious intolerance is mixed with social and political injustice the results can be catastrophic. The Middle East is the "perfect" example of what not to do when dealing with people from different ethnic, social and religious backgrounds, add in foreign interference and look at the result.

Hey SM,
Truthfully, I take no sides in this fight.
As for you, you've been cheering on Ukrainians being sent to their deaths for the last 18mths to the tune of 500,000 men.
- Now you're spakking out because people are dying that you might actually care about.

My Great Grandfather was there in 1917 fighting at the behest of the British to take the land from the Ottomans.

This isn't the first blood of innocents in that damned place, and it sure won't be the last.

This is more of a prison riot, happens every few years.

From what I understand Hamas was created BY ISRAEL, to counter Yasser Arafat, probably not to different from the way the US created the Taliban the Mujahudeen, and probably Islamic State too.

I found the images of the last few days quite disturbing, and I know there's a whole lot more worse stuff out there.
Now Israel are running around killing innocents with as much fervour as the Palestinian attackers were.

The State of Israel was established on the back of terrorism with the bombing of the King David Hotel.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_David_Hotel_bombing
The leaders of Haganah opposed the idea initially.[15] On July 1, 1946, Moshe Sneh, chief of the Haganah General Headquarters, sent a letter to the then leader of the Irgun, Menachem Begin, which instructed him to "carry out the operation at the 'chick'", code for the King David Hotel.

Founder: Menachem Begin

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Netanyahu
is an Israeli politician who has been serving as the prime minister of Israel since December 2022, having previously held the office from 1996 to 1999 and again from 2009 to 2021. He is the chairman of the Likud party.

A nation founded by terrorism, a political party founded by terrorists, to which Netanyahu was / or the leader of the party.
(Yuyutsu might correct me here not sure the current political situation)

What do you expect me to do with this?

[Cont.]
I'm sorry all I know it's horrible but I agree with SteeleRedux, Palestinians have just as much right to defend themselves against the occupation, as the Israeli's have to defend themselves against Palestinian militants.

Israel is not at war with Hamas, it's at war with Palestinians.

Proud Boy Jose'

Where have I said; "Paul supporting conflict and Hamas as justified killing of innocent people" YOU are a liar and a reprobate, I've never remotely said anything remotely like that, nor have Foxy or Steele.

Police just watched pro-terrorist rioters in Sydney, but arrested a man for carrying an Israeli flag. The man said that the flag was furled, and he had only just arrived on the scene. He was "breaching the peace" , said the police who didn't have the orders to deal with rioters associating themselves with a terrorist organisation.

What a gutless, pissy little country Australia has become, under all its gutless pissy little governments, aided and abetted by its gutless, pissy little population.
