mhaze: Foxy says there is still some doubt about the hospital bombing.

Foxy: That's a lie.

Foxy (on the same day!!): "The explosion at the car park of Al-Ahli Arab hospital in Gaza City, the exact cause of the blast is still contested."

Struth.

Hi Fester,

You have no idea how broad my world really is or
what I have and still do live and experience. I
am a professional researcher and trained in
garnering and dealing with facts from a wide-variety
of sources. However, my friends and colleagues do
keep asking me - why I keep coming back to the forum -
and allow myself to be exposed to personal attacks
from anonymous people?

The aim to correct falsehoods and misinformation
far outweighs the personal attacks dealt out by
a few narrow-minded and ignorant people. So I keep
trying to do what I see as my job.

Besides I feel sorry for many on this forum.
They, if they were honest, would have to
admit that this forum would be boring without me.

Hi Mavs,

If we can't or don't discuss or talk things out from
all sides of an issue, the issue can't or won't be put
to rest. And if it's not put to rest, the wounds will
fester from generation to generation.

People in glass houses Foxy, and you've thrown far more stones than me. What I question is your avoidance of some areas of discussion, most recently of the association of UNRWA with the horrific and ongoing abuse of children. It is particularly pertinent given your very active history of concern about child abuse in the Catholic Church, yet with the industrial scale of child abuse being conducted by UNRWA and granted Australia's support by Albo and PenPen, you choose to stand by in silence. Why is that?

The only sense I can make of things is that you are an Albo rep here, and other than it being a reason for your conduct I couldn't care less.

Hi Fester,

I don't live in a glass house. I live in a high-rise
apartment. I also don't throw stones. I seek and
provide facts and evidence-based information. I also
do not avoid areas of discussion. What I avoid are
falsehoods and misinformation. I don't believe in
giving platforms and publicity to those.

UNRWA has long been a target of Israeli criticism.
Israel has made, and continues to make many accusations
against UNRWA. Netanyahu has sought to dismantle the
UN body. Israel did succeed in getting several Western
countries, including Australia to suspend funding
temporarily to UNRWA. Countries like Ireland,
Norway, and others refused. Australia has re-instated
its funding as has the US.

The allegations could not be proven and it was decided that
punishing millions without just cause would not only be
shocking but criminal. Unsubstantiated allegations should
not be taken seriously.

You seem incapable of looking at issues from various points
of view. But you certainly are not alone as far as Israel is
concerned. Especially on this forum. For that reason I am
not interested in any further discussion with you. It's
pointless, and won't produce anything productive. I would
therefore appreciate it if you did not direct any more posts
to me.

I don't have either the time or the inclination to continue
to respond. No offence. There's simply no point. And using
slurs of our politicians is not at all endearing and is
considered by man as an out-moded tactic.

Cheers.

Fester,

Using Zionist sources is hardly creditable, no more than Hamas sources are creditable. This appears in YOUR article "ties of thousands of UNRWA employees to terror groups." not true, Israeli blogger Lilia Gaufburg reproduced in 'The Times Of Israel'.
