It isn't surprising that Hamas is being blamed for
this ongoing conflict. We're told over and over again that it is solely a response to Hamas's surprise attack on Israel and that it is not as a result of the past 75 years of Israeli violence and ethnic cleansing of Palestine and its cumulative depraved barbarity which is what prompted Hama's actions in the first place. But any suggestions of that - has accusations of being called a "Jew Hater" and an "anti-Semitic" thrown at you. Even though many Jews and Israelis also do not support the Israeli government's actions. Israel's carefully crafter monopoly on victimization and the dehumanization of Palestinians has always been accepted in the past - world-wide. But now this is now being questioned world-wide and getting stronger. It's been pointed out that "selective empathy" is not empathy at all. We're told that this is especially true when empathy for Israel is political expedient in terms of justifying huge quantities of military aid and money to that country and the slaughter of folks whose existence has complicated the US-Israel vision of the world. This bloody pattern has continued ever since with Palestinians consistently dying in disproportionate numbers and being cast as the aggressors and victimizers. There's no comparison in the number of people killed in the Gaza Strip with that of Israeli civilians. In either case - neither should be killed. But as long as Netanyahu is focused on staying in power this war has no end in sight. Posted by Foxy, Thursday, 4 January 2024 10:27:55 AM

mhaze,

This is the latest article Foxy plagiarised....
http://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2023/10/15/israel-and-the-weaponisation-of-empathy Its an interesting concept, this notion of proportionality. Hamas killed 1200+ people but Israel killed far more and this is somehow a failing by Israel. The US killed far more Germans in WW2 than Germans killed USians therefore Germany was in the right!! Wars don't work like that but the historically ignorant are ignorant of that. Luckily the majority aren't so naive. Posted by mhaze, Thursday, 4 January 2024 12:26:54 PM

mhaze,
Thanks for the compliment. I acknowledge the information I supply as coming from elsewhere - however the comments must hit the spot for you to continue to try to drag them and me down. But keep trying. I understand it's all you've got. However, - I shouldn't have left the bag of idiots open. Posted by Foxy, Thursday, 4 January 2024 1:39:23 PM

mhaze, you keep making all kinds of assumptions about me, most of which are untrue. I ask, given your extreme bias, are you a member of the "International Zionist Movement", as well as a far right wing radical cell here within Australia? I don't expect you to answer in the affirmative as that would give the game away, now would it not. You seem to treat the lives of innocent Palestinians as an expendable commodity, 12 dozen to the Shekel hummm, that to you is unfortunately (ha ha), but regrettably (ha ha again) but absolutely necessary. I can see where you are coming from.
During WWI a British Capitalist estimated that every dead British solider returned a profit of 40 pounds to British industrialists like himself. BUT here's the clincher, his death only cost 8 pounds in replacement, which was totally borne by the British taxpayer. The same Capitalist believed the war was sustainable at least until 1921, very disappointed when it ended in 1918. His thinking was a lot like yours.

Foxy, what you (or should I say what Al Jazeera !!) fail to understand is that people marching in the streets aren't a majority. They are vocal. They are disruptive. They gather the press coverage. But they aren't a majority or even a significant minority. For example, US polls show that overall support for Israel exceeds that for Hamas by a factor of 2 to 1.
Al Jazzeera - struth. No wonder you "regetably" forgot to cite your source.
Perhaps you take the advice of another member of the group...
"How about giving us the actual link that you've taken this data from - so we can read it for ourselves?".... oh. that was you. Wow.
