    Here's a video that you might enjoy of the IDF taking potshots at the tents set up by displaced people, with a tank. They share this shit themselves.

    Just a little troll point for the newb. People do not normally reply twice to the same post. It shows you are an impatient little twat who is so butthurt they spit out multiple insults.

    This is a message board, not real time chat. If you need to take a moment to get your zinger right, do so the first time.

    Jesus fucking christ man, this is lessons from the mid 90's or earlier. Do catch up. All that time spent jerking off on TK with no one else but your own waste of bits bots has really made you pathetic.

    Here we have totally non-apartheid Israel which is definitely a liberal democracy using bulldozers to demolish an entire village (Wadi Al Khalil) consisting of dozens of homes belonging to its Bedouin citizens. (i.e. this isn't even in the West Bank.) The pretext is that they were unlicensed, but the licensing regime doesn't allow Bedouins to gain permits.

    The idea that these people want peace, only for dastardly Hamas to ruin everything, is risible.

    You better watch out that @jack guy will not let you post over at TK if he gets real mad. He sure told you. I bet you have never been told to go fuck yourself or that you are small minded before.

    That jack sure is on top of things.

    Holy shit, the kid can't even quote properly. Even Dayton could quote.

    No, these are separate acts.

    Israel had been in negotiations with these Bedouins for years to move not because they hate Arabs, but because the village was erected on Israeli state owned land slated for a highway.

    After refusing all compensation or resettlement the Israeli High Court unanimously ruled the government had done all it could and that the highway construction would begin.

    Two of the sitting judges on the Israeli High Court are Muslim Arabs.

    Evidently the sticking point is a blood feud between the family of the illegal settlement and one in the town that they initially were to have new apartments built for them in.

    I can certainly see the objection to them proceeding with demolition before the new appartments were built, a right wing extremist Ben Gvir was the one recently put into charge of enforcement.

    But to say this was just done out of hatred is just more bullshit propaganda. This issue had been ongoing for years.

    IMO all you have to do is look at October 7th for what Hamas is/will always be up to.

    If Biden doesn't ship these arms that were approved, he could get impeached. I hate Trump, but this is the same fucking thing. If congress approves it, that's the power of the purse. I don't get why Dems are always so fucking self-destructive...

    Which head?

    The one he keeps his brain in? You'd need a fucking tight grip.

    The other one has a ginger beard and goggle marks from his welding job, and is not as large as he thinks.

    I know everyone thinks I hate biden, and I really do.

    Still, if he could go in and help enforce some sort of peaceful solution where Isreal is protected from Hamas in palestine, and The palestinians in Gaza are protected from the abuses of Isreal. I would do a radical shift on my opinion of him. He is the leader right now, and if he could bring a peaceful end to this conflict as a referee to both sides providing some sort of independent punishment for the terrorists on both sides and protect both people, that would make him awesome man in my book.

    Right here, right now we are seeing what Joe Biden is capable of as the president of the US in a mess that has been created by the US and involves a strong ally of the US and a region the US wants to make amends for crap it has done in the past.

    I am not saying Trump could possibly rise to this occasion and do something good. However, this is a moment where Joe could show us how great he is rather than capitulating to both sides like the loser he is.

    This is one of the reasons I do not like Joe over all. He is terrible when we need a leader. Right now Isreal, Iran, and that whole area needs a force that is going to suppress the fighting and punish those who terrorize the community. Yes, they are not going to be liked on both sides, but with the world's help a leader could do it. I don't think Joe has an ounce of that strength, but if he does wield the power of america to de-escalate the hostilities and war in this situation he has my vote and my annoying voice.

    Unlike the repugs and libertarians I am rooting for him because he is all I have to root for.

    all you have to do is look to the history of Isreal and the IDF to see what they do in the slow genocide of palestinians and apartheid governing.

    This nonsense is doing the rounds on Zionist media and social media so it's no surprise you'd uncritically repeat it. It's a lie and the fact that your link is to the blog page of a pro-Israel think tank rather than the UN themselves is indicative.

    There has been no reduction. The methodology employed by the Ministry of Health in Gaza relies mostly on counting actual dead bodies. The first set of figures is that.
    The second set (the supposed reduction) is the number of identified dead bodies. They discrepancy is because many are known to be women and children but that's about all - that's what happens when you drop 2000lb bombs on people.

    It's also demonstrative of why the real number of dead is far higher. There are many bodies that haven't been processed by the health ministry and that proportion has increased as Israel has worked to destroy Gaza's hospitals. As such the official numbers have been climbing much more slowly in the recent past despite no let up in violence.

    Is the Gaza Ministry of Health capable of doing anything BUT counting dead bodies?
    That's not giving a pass to Israel, but seriously, Hamas are not the good guys here. We shouldn't treat anything from them like anything even close to the truth.

    It's the official UN statistics, as confirmed by the deputy spokesman for the UN Secretary General. You lie. Constantly.

    Turns out they couldn't corroborate the Hamas Health Ministry's numbers, and when pressed Hamas stated they couldn't identify 10,000 people that they claimed were dead. They couldn't provide death certificates. Not even names. It took Israel six months to identify everyone who was murdered on 10/7, there's still new findings. They found the body of someone they though was kidnapped dead in a kibbutz just last week.

    This is the same crew that claimed that the Israelis bombed a hospital and 500 people were dead within an hour of the occurrence. Remember that Rick? You posted that info immediately with all the outrage you could muster. Turns out it was a lie. Turned out that Palestinian Islamic Jihad were responsible and that the fatalities were a fraction of the total claimed - largely because the hospital itself wasn't hit.

    Oh, and mainstream US media is now picking up the story: https://www.yahoo.com/news/united-nations-cuts-estimates-women-170941270.html

    And here's the revised figures on the UN's website: https://www.ochaopt.org/content/hostilities-gaza-strip-and-israel-reported-impact-day-215

    Rick has been so radicalized at this point he's pro-Hamas. He'll say he isn't, then report verbatim every single talking point Hamas puts forward.

    Of course they're official UN statistics. And the UN takes them from the Gaza Ministry of Health. I attempted to explain how they work but you appear to want to ignore that. Here are the screencaps from the OCHA website.

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    So again, I pointed out that they were two different variables from the same data set (reported fatalities versus identified facilities), that you are treating them as being the same thing and your response is that they're UN statistics, godammit! As if that constitutes a refutation. :dayton:

    Total invention. There are 10,000 bodies for which one or more key data points is missing. These are identity number, full name, date of birth or death. There is no controversy that those are still dead people. They are still using the MoH numbers, they simply changed the variable that they show on their graphic.
    Although it's great to see that you think Hamas are above forging death certificates! But that's not how this works.

    You can't by sheer force of will manifest that it was a lie because the IDF and their allies claimed it. There has been no proper investigation. And as we have seen, hospitals feature prominently among IDF targets.

    :dayton:
    All that I have to do to show that this is a lie is to point out once more my actual opinion of Hamas.
    Despite their Islamism (with which I also profoundly disagree) their worldview and political organisation actually has a lot in common with Leninism, democratic centralism et al. That is, they see the Palestinian people as human material with which to achieve their goals. This is what was behind the October 7th attacks and their analysis that the Israeli response would fundamentally alter the landscape, including in some ways that would be in their favour. They aren't much interested in governing (which is why the Health Ministry operates fairly objectively). They just want to do resistance. It's an execrable worldview. But it was pretty inevitable in the context of Fatah collaboration, corruption and all avenues being closed off to them that people would gravitate to it.
    Their history of suicide bombing, hostage taking and their general human rights record is also abominable.

    But no, everything you find inconvenient about Israeli conduct, no matter how it's corroborated by independent organisations must be a Hamas talking point.

    Is it similar to why they have no food either?
    Cause apparently that's because Hamas cares more about getting stuff for themselves than their own people.

    U.S. warns Israel has no plan to eliminate Hamas, as IDF battles regrouped militants in northern Gaza

    TEL AVIV — The Israeli military intensified its attacks on northern Gaza on Monday, battling a regrouped Hamas in areas it said it had cleared and renewing questions over Israeli strategy in the war as the United States issued some of its harshest public criticism yet.

    Israel has insisted that it must invade Rafah, a city in southern Gaza where more than 1 million people had sought refuge, in order to accomplish its core objective of "eliminating" Hamas' presence in the enclave after months of fighting further north.

    But Secretary of State Antony Blinken warned Sunday that even a full-scale ground assault on Rafah would fail to achieve that goal.

    Israel is "on the trajectory, potentially, to inherit an insurgency with many armed Hamas left or, if it leaves, a vacuum filled by chaos, filled by anarchy and probably refilled by Hamas,” he said in an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

    "Even if it goes in and takes heavy action in Rafah, there will still be thousands of armed Hamas left," Blinken said, noting that "we’ve seen, in areas that Israel has cleared in the north, even in Khan Younis, Hamas coming back."

    It's one thing to fight a war with loads of collateral damage, it's a whole other thing to fight a pointless and largely ineffective war with loads of collateral damage. :shrug:

    Let's face it, that's what they both want. Endless war that they can each use for propaganda to prop themselves up.

    I can't think of any time I've ever seen something like this so nakedly out in the open.
