Genocide is being committed in Gaza by Israel

Saudi Arabia is aligning itself with Pakistan.

The USA is looking forward to enjoying the planned Mar-a-Gaza pleasure beaches.

The biggest 'troublemakers' in the West Bank, are those illegal settlers.

Japan also?

Israel seems to have a very good working relationship with the USA.

Will Israel feel 'safer' now that previously staunch allies are drifting away, due to Netanyahu's war crimes?
Will Israel continue to flourish, as countries are beginning to think about banning produce from the illegal settlements in the West Bank?

You know it’s easy to do some research on this?

So these trouble makers in the West Bank Oreo, are they the same ones who had their land and properties seized by illegal settlers aided and abetted by the IDF?

They are the PLO and Fatha and two or three other extreme Muslim groups in the West Bank.

I am not in a position to condemn the Israeli government. I don’t think for one minute that the art of the meaningless gesture will help Palestine or Israel.

The comments on GNet tend to reinforce prejudices imo. I want all the killing to stop and I see no signs that it will anytime soon. Meanwhile the USA has a 6 billion dollar contract to supply Israel with weapons.

Hamas has posted a farewell collage of 48 hostages with RON ARRAD substituted for each individual’s real name.
What sort of people are they?

Hamas are terrorists ronib we all know that and nobody has ever said any different but that doesn’t deflect from the state sponsored terrorism being used by Israel.
The difference is everyone has condemned Hamas but I don’t hear you condemning the Israeli government.
It is possible to condemn both.

Wrong. If Gaza is not an independent state then it is part of Israel.

Israel has been acting as an occupying force for decades with full control of movement of goods and people.

A state that builds a wall does not have it citizens best interests at heart and is an apartheid system which always ends in violence by the oppressed.

Israel will never be capable of caring for its non-Jewish citizens. It has shown zero capability for doing so since it expelled 800000 Palestinians in the first year of its violent existence.

I have no doubt that it will eventually also expel the 2000000 Palestinians in Gaza. And then rebuild on the bones of the dead children.
They should never prosper from such a dreadful act.

Well said Oreo.
This thread is akin to knocking your head against a brick wall.

What is happening is that Israel is getting rid of all Palestinians so that they can take over their land.
Palestinians believe that there always has been Palestine and recognising it as a state just confirms that.
Israel was created on the understanding that they would not cause problems with the Palestinians but they have reneged on that agreement from the start.

Is that why there are still two million Palestinians in Gaza?
It wasn’t Israel causing trouble as you put it, it was groups in both the West Bank and Gaza continually attacking Israel and I do mean continually.

There isn’t much more I can say if the answers back to me are all lies and nonsense.
Palestinians are living in Gaza and were living in Gaza and it wasn’t and isn’t a Palestinian State.
Not granting it a State doesn’t mean that Palestinians have to go anywhere other than Gaza itself.

To publicly threaten lives of hostages, impossible to defend it surely?

So, if all the Palestinians were 'removed', Israel would then be safe from those 'malign actors'?

People seem to think that if say, Gaza and the West Bank were united in a State of Palestine that peace would ensue forever with the two States side by side.Hollow laugh.
All it would mean is that Israel would be in even more danger.
A State of Palestine that gradually became wealthier and propped up by malign actors all round the Middle East would launch ever stronger attacks on Israel.They don’t just want a State they want all Jews out or dead and Israel to become Palestinian.That’s what a lot don’t understand.

Also let’s not forget that very many non Muslims want the government to take a firmer stance on what Israel are doing.
