Speaking of Israel...

Israel cancelling the ceasefire because one of the soldiers it sent in to kill civilians is kidnapped. No further comment needed.

Anyone posted up the idf soldier's social media comment about his great success in killing kids?

Why don't you?

A handful of town councils in Britain have taken to flying Palestine flags to "raise awareness" about the situation in Gaza. It is not surprising to see it in Muslim areas like Bradford or Tower Hamlets, but strangely it has also happened at my local council building...

The immigrant community here is tiny, I suspect it is because our council is run by Republicans such as this guy. Note how he supports Irish football teams, his favourite bands include Irish rebel music, and his only inspirational figures given is Karl Marx. Yeah, guys like that are my democratic representatives, LOL!

Anyway, to bring it back to topic, this should not be allowed, councils should not be picking sides in foreign conflicts like this, especially when there is no clear cut 'good guy' to side with. I doubt we have much of a Jewish community but this sort of things may well be offensive to them. Apparently a British-Jewish organisation has already voiced their concerns about it. Certainly, I don't think it is a good idea when the conflict has caused a huge surge in antisemitic attacks in Britain. The council should be backing peace not picking sides.

I'd support any council that said "To hell with them both".

It's missing a unicorn.

And I think everyone should get a unicorn for free...

I respect your solution, but the odds of it happening in this century is extremely bad, to say the least.

GEEZ, at least source me when using my exact witticism in the exact same thread...

A beautiful image....but only the two hands depicted can make it happen. External efforts are past pointless and approaching farce.

True, but dropping the Israeli carte blanche would probably help Israel to go back to the negiation in good faith. The West Bank staying quiet will, according to current Israeli policies be rewarded by expanded settlements.

Be a good or bad Palestinian, current Israeli goverment will still treat you as dirt.

It requires two visionary leaders to be able to pull it off. A proper and equal peace would benefit both Israel and Palestine.

Did you know that Israel imports people from the Philippines to work in their fields, etc, to replace the jobs the Palestinians did? If there was a proper peace, the Palestinians could end up taking that work again and Israel could lift the embargo's, allowing free and prosperous trade to flow into Palestine, which could allow the nation to build itself up and end up forming a mutual partnership of good will.

I would love such a solution to come about, but it feels that sometimes the conflict will only be 'ended' if one side wins, hence my other solution of trying to do the best for the Palestinian people as the 'losers'.

What about this?

You'll want the Israeli hand to be 4 times the size, and covered in armour.

[Fragony]

Pfffft Israel warns the Pallies if an attack is comming, Hamas makes sure that everybody stays at home so as many civilians as possible get killed. Goes like this https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=C2vMAF9Kt18

The younger the better.

That is what it looks like. The second a call is made, flyers are dropped, or a tud lands, your neighbourhood is surrounded and people aren't allowed to leave by Hamas order troops. Hamas needs dead civilians. Israel may have a bigger army but they don't have the almost undying support of western media.

You don't have to take my word for that.

Yeah, political councils acting all political-like, what gives?

Idaho:

While I am more than willing to ding Israeli leadership for being cavalier about "collateral damage" (which the numbers make readily demonstrable) it is another thing entirely to imply that they have a policy directive for killing civilians.

Are they collecting ears or paying bounties now? Perhaps the time-honored process of scalping for proof is being used....

If you are that adamantly certain that it is not hard-hearted negligence but active pogromatic policy, why aren't you wearing a keffiyeh as part of the "Legion of Lawrence" and working to rid the world of Zionist evil?
