All great points made, particularly about Hamas being portrayed as the super-villains of all time to justify genocidal acts against Palestinians.

I would urge everyone to go to Craig Murray's website and read his recent article "Has International Law Survived or has the Western Political Class Killed It?" Craig is a historian, a former UK ambassador, and human rights activist. He explains in detail the significance of the ICJ's ruling. Most importantly, the ICJ has not affirmed Israel's right to self-defence. "Now the ICJ did not repeat that an occupying power has no right of self-defence. It did not need to. It simply ignored Israel's specious assertion."

Hamas is a terrorist organization. Their goal is the annihilation of Israel and a jihad against Jews everywhere. Check out their charter. Check out their leaders.

No resistance ever entitles the gang-rape of innocent women, raping, beheading adults and babies, tying people together and burning them alive and kidnapping hundreds of civilians raping and killing some of them.

The people of Gaza and the west are being played so that UNWRA and the billionaire leaders continue to get $$ from the west.

Here is how it works. Convince a population that they will achieve a reward in the afterlife if they die killing Jews and then blame Israel for retaliating making up a fiction about Israel Oppressing Palestinians so the west sends $$$.

You must follow the money. You bemoan western oligarchs but if you defend Hamas and oppose Israel you are defending the enrichment of Palestinian billionaire oligarchs. Not to mention the Russian military industrial complex supplying weapons to Hamas.

My Irish ancestors did not chop baby’s heads off and they were driven out. One amazing thing is how honest Hamas are. It’s also amazing how DEi cultists claim to be so driven by compassion and love. They freak out if you complete Taco Bell to Mexico, they are so sensitive. But they somehow throw that all away and align with medieval savages. Wow.

I understand now why Arabs used to refer to the USA and Israel as, respectively, the Great Satan and the Little Satan.

Really. So you think on a moral level the US is lower than Iran ? People suffer there, they die in prison for political opinions, the police slaughters protesters. And idiots like you sit on your couch eating bonbons and refusing to condemn evil. You have a broken moral compass. If you had any integrity you would go spend a month in your glorious Iran and talk to real people. Right now you’re just a useful idiot for the Mullahs.

The U.S. executes its own people AND had the highest rate of incarceration in the world. And Bonbons? WTactualF? Sit your bitch-ass down and stop projecting.

You haven’t made a point. You just made typical anti US bogeyman comments. So I can’t respond.

Hamas are evil, they murder peaceniks, they murdered the supporters of Palestinians. It was disgusting savage act. Your have highly selective morality, in other words you are just another garden variety Jew hater. Bibi is a bastard, selfish to the core, but we are stuck with him. What to you propose Israel do whe war is declared on them? When Hamas (nobody can call Hamas liars, I hate them, but they are the most honest people in the room) says they willl go do more of the same? I have no idea, I sure as hell wouldn't push any button if one child or parent could be killed, No, but you are missing it all, Iran sits in luxury, manipulating the Palestinians. Asshole settlers kill Palestinines and try and kill peace. Many Paletinians don't want peace, they are getting too rich. Hamas leaders are billionaires and order room service while babies are pulled from rubble. I don't know what the solution is, but carping about Zionism is a waste of time, it's over, it's done, Israel is here. They are not moving, if not for a strong Israel one day there will be a new Holocaust. And let's be honest, that wasn't the Arabs, that was the land of Bach, the manipulated Germans abused by the elites at the Versaille treaty who did that, so maybe let's look at ourselves. And actually care about others too. Chechynas were slaughter by Putin. Syria has been forgotten, Putin is there, America abandoned them, Yemen is the playland of those horrid Saudis and Iranians, and so many die. Sudan. Bangladesh. And it's not equal. Russia is worse. If you don't care about Syria and only care about Gaza, you are a racist. And a solution, I have no idea, you have people so tramatized that they have become monsters, and these bombs are making more monsters each day. I can support Israel all I want but if my children were killed by their bombs I would fucking hate Israel. Let's be a bit real. I have no idea what the solution is. But follow the money, look behind the scenes, things are not what they seem. The bombed in Gaza, the massacred in Israel, and even the Hamas fighters, they are all the pawns, you need to find the pawns and expose them. And both sides have pawns.

I don’t think that anything John said is inconsistent with the idea that these populations are pawns of a broader geopolitical game. It’s very unfair to resort to that kind of name calling.

I'm sorry but selective morality is an implicit acceptance of other crimes and it comes from somewhere. And nobody will answer what Israel should do, can they live next to a government dedicated to their destruction? You can't say stop the bombing and not address that question. If the answer is yes, it must be explained. If the answer is no, it must be explained. I have no idea. Maybe I was acting in bad faith and maybe you are right. But am tired of the cheap arguments, the fact is that Hamas has broken ceasefires, the fact is they are in both offensive and defensive modes now, the fact is that a ceasefire will give them the opportunity to kill more IDF, the fact is that concern about the Palestinan population doesn't exist for Hamas, the fact is they could have offered to return the hostages for something reasonable but they will not, they want all their fighters returned and a lot of people who are very dangerous. You know how many have been released from Israeli prisions and later gone on to kills Jews, this is not a speculative point.

We don't have to follow the money but follow the narrative. If we are to look at who is controlling the pawns, we would find the great US empire with its swathe of Israeli hierarchy in positions of power. I suggest you brush-up on your geopolitics. You will find I am not wrong.
