Once you pull the “Zionist” card you lose.

The food truck stoush? Israeli soldiers were protecting themselves. Whether or not hunger caused the Gazans to attack the Israelis we are not told, but the Israelis were entitled to defend themselves from aggression no matter where it came from and why. You would defend yourself no matter what you thought about your attacker. It's human nature.

Your warning-then- bombing comment is nonsense.

Your “stats and numbers comment about getting bombed by an American plane is also nonsense.

What might have happened or not happened in Cambodia is as irrelevant to this topic as the Charge of the Light Brigade.

You don't have Communist mates? The Greens Party is the face of Communism in the West, where it still doesn't have the numbers to go the full hog. Never fear, the way our youth is going, Sydney will be renamed New Beijing soon enough.

Finally, I wasn't aware that America was run by white racists. Thanks for letting me know that Slow Joe and the Democrats are white racists, battling against all those darkies flooding in over the southern border.

"We all deplore war and killing. But sometimes, when dealing with maniacs like Hamas, war is a necessary evil. Those in the real world know this....you should join the real world some time."

'The real world' - That's bullcrap.
One side fights to steal land, they are the maniacs.
The other side fights for respect, justice, decency and dignity.

War is not a necessary evil.
War is a failure of diplomacy
War is diplomacy by other means
'Lets go sort things out in the carpark'

You're making the argument that if I have a grievance with my neigbour I should resort to violence rather than try to talk things through and avoid conflict.

Hamas are Palestinian resistance.
Did you call the French resistance in WWII terrorists when they attacked NAZIs as well?
It's the same thing.

As long as an occupation and subjagation exist, resistance will exist.
Call it Hamas... call it Santa Claus...
You won't destroy the spirit of resistance.

100 damn years, you'd think the facts would be clear by now?
If Israel wants them gone, it's going to have to kill a whole lot more of them.
But the worlds not going to stand for it.

Israel is on a path of self destruction.

Don't you like my idea to send all the hostages back dead from starvation?
I thought it might light a fuse the tears the whole country apart.
Isn't it like the ultimate Karma to the Jewish state who seem hell bent on staving others to death?
- And no great big win for Israel and Netanyahu at the end?
Of course they could trade everyone for everyone instead so it would be their choice.

Something needs to change over there, the killings have to stop.

The Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research, conducts surveys jointly with Israeli researchers, including Tel Aviv University.

Well hardly unbiased, but I suppose when some mob are bombing the crap out of you, and killing your children, you might support anyone who will say they are fighting to save you and your children lives. The way the Zionists are murdering the Palestinians, I can't believe 29% don't support Hamas, must be those breast feeding babies.

"if I have a grievance with my neigbour I should resort to violence rather than try to talk things through and avoid conflict."

Yes AC. If your neighbour breaks into your house, murders your wife, rapes and kidnaps your daughter and beheads her baby, you should absolutely "talk things through". Struth.

The two faces of AC:
* any death is deplorable and all killing must stop.
* let's kill all the hostages.

This thread is a clear indicator that the Israel-Palestine conflict insanity has already spread to Australia !

According to mhaze,

If your neighbour breaks into your house, murders your wife, rapes and kidnaps your daughter and beheads her baby, you should inflict all possible revenge.

The more than 20,000 women and children murdered in Gaza by the Zionists were a party to the Hamas atrocities of Oct 7th, correct mhaze? So you believe the Zionists are rightly extracting retribution from these women and children for their crime by murdering them. Struth!

Yes, a group of Palestinians calling themselves Hamas did commit a terrible crime of murder on 7th Oct, killing 1200 Israelis. BUT that doesn't justify the Zionists going about murdering 30,000 innocent Palestinians in revenge. Streth!

By mhaze logic, if your neighbour breaks into your house etc, then don't just punish the neighbour for his crime, punish the whole bloody neighbourhood. If he stole your car, murder his five children. Don't stop there go around to his brothers house who doesn't live in the neighbourhood and murder him and his family as well, as an act of revenge. struth!
