Israeli forces killed at least 24 Palestinians in three separate airstrikes on Gaza City early on Tuesday and the dead included a sister of Ismail Haniyeh, the chief of militant Islamist group Hamas, Gaza health officials and medics said.

More precise and accurate strikes by the IDF against Islamic extremist terrorists.

Collective punishment by death not the behaviour of a civilised country.

I would write "shame on Israel " but shame not a feeling/emotion seen in "God's Chosen People"

Theirs is an "Old Testament God "...mostly smiting, and vengeance .

The message of Jesus, a Jew, was against this.

Love thy neighbour.

Jewish Lobby in Washington has succeeded in having the Congress pass a bill that expands the reach and definition of "anti semiticism " to include criticism of Israel

The Bill sent to the Senate.

What happened to First Amendment rights.

Oh...Israel must be protected...from words...while it rains bombs on women and children in Gaza.

Money talks.

And next to my gold.

Genocide and ethnic cleansing should never be a cause of celebration or glee.

A generation of orphans is not a "precise and accurate " targeting.

I hope Israel drowns in the blood flowing from Gaza's innocents.

I don’t think that innocent civilians should be murdered by the IDF.

Does that make me a supporter of Hamas?

Am I now a legitimate target for voicing that opinion?

There are bloodthirsty fanatics that would answer in the affirmative-that is the problem with Israelis!

Yes it does. Unfortunately my friend, that is the discourse today.

If Hamas bombed 2 schools and the homes of Netanyahu's family you'd never hear the end of it. Instead this is just another average day of Israeli war crimes carried out by "the world's most moral army".

While waiting Gaza people dying from famine, occupier keep doing genocide to speed up the process.

In North Gaza, there is a famine, and children and babies are starving. They face the threat of both bombs and starvation.

Very compelling stuff Guru mate. The love thy neighbor part especially.

What part of love thy neighbor was October 7th again? Just need to be reminded.

As Douglas Murray stated at the debate the other day, You don’t get to start a war, then complain about it when you are losing. The deaths are, and will always be, on Hamas despite this latest journalism piece trying to turn Hamas into the victim here. Hamas!

Just another day where people feel the need and believe themselves to have the right to trumpet their low resolution moralistic narcissism. Nothing new, nothing insightful, just the usual. But, please keep it up. The creativity and mental gymnastics has become a circus side show.

The IDF is as bad as Hamas.

A report by UNRWA today stated that 10 children a DAY are losing one or both legs!

As the west govts sit on their hand allowing the animals in Israel to commit genocide! Absolutely disgusting!

Ricky..."trumpet their low resolution moralistic narcissism "

Nice turn of phrase, mate

Original is it ?

1/ The entire world is against the current state of Israel simply because of the way it is conducting this genocide.

2/ Is the planet a 'moralistic narcissist ?

3/The UN has ruled against this genocide...more "narcissism ?

4/ Oct attacks were a well planned attack by a resistance group fighting the brutal Israeli occupation of historic Palestine. Suck it up Israel....you cant imprison a million plus people and not expect some blowback.

5/You seem to infer any criticism of Israel is wrong. Why is that ?

Killing babies and the relatives of militants quite OK is it ?

Something grotesque is happening in Israel and you take the time to criticize a poster on a web news site.

No time to criticize Israel though. Why is that ?

Its 20266, an Israeli family sits around the dinner table.

Child asks of his ex IDF father

"Dad...what did you do in the war ?"

Dad replies, "Killing babies , son, oh that, as well as women and children, and old men "

Oh so you are the planet now. Give it a break guru. Seeing one side of the coin day in day out. Thought todays appeal to Christian’s to join you in your Jew hatred was an especially nice touch. The Jews killed Christ! Yell it from the hills dude.

How about this one, “Judge not lest ye be judged”. You could line up behind millions mate and still not get it.

Enjoy your day.

You jest, but have you seen the documentary 'Tantura'? it is basically what you describe. A bunch of old Israelis who used to serve as paramlitary fighters laughing about how they killed children and raped Palestinian women.

Ha ha ...you lose Ricky.

Accusing me of "Jew hatred "...a wide brush to smear me.

"Blood libel " and "antisemitic " dont get a run today.?

Criticising Israel, the state, not an inference that Jewish people are bad, and deserving hate.

Jews attended my wedding...Jews stayed at my house for a vacation...I baby sat the children of a Jewish couple so they could have a "date night ".

Jews are on the forefront of calling out Netanyahu and his mad militia. All praise to them.

Does that seem like "Jew hating ".

And why the sensitivity about calling out a genocide.

Come clean...

Do you imagine if the Hamas Rebellion, or any other prohuman rights action against the Israeli regime killed a member of Netanyahu's family it would be counted as 'targeting civilians', or 'nearly getting the chief militant terrorist'?

Chabbawanga, do you think that describing last century's 'heroes of Ukraine' as being 'as bad as the Russian army' apt, given that the first were willing participants in genocide, and the second are the reason the genocide was stopped?

There’s no win or loose here Guru. It ain’t an endgame, nor a genocide, and your fondness for our Jewish brothers and sisters is clearly evident. No need to hide behind veils or distractions.

It is what it is, just own it.

Making me subjugate myself on your alter of genocide too ain’t gunna happen. If that’s what it takes to join your tribe then you’ll have to excuse me if I decline. Once again, none of this changes anything. Two angry old men screaming at each other on a public news forum is all it is. Performance art at its worst.

Have your convictions man, will keep mine if that’s ok with you. Am 100% ok with them. In fact the more you engage with the holy mob, the more you realize that’s not where to be.

time to work!

CNN interviews a former Shin Beit head.

On Netanyahu and the war in Gaza he says...

"We are losing our {Israeli } identity as people, as Jews as human beings..."

Is this Jew hatred ?

No...its a comment by someone who knows.

Calling criticism of Israel "Jew hatred " as levelled against me above is a type of "Godwin's Law " where the argument is lost.

Criticism of Israel is not criticism of Jews per se...Judaism is a religion {an "idea "...like Hamas }...not my cup of tea but thats the choice.

BTW The Israeli Supreme Court has ruled that all Israeli's must be open to the IDF draft, this means the Ultra Orthodox {funny hats and haircuts, funny wobbling before a wall }.

Hopefully the Ultra's in parliament will withdraw support from Netanyahu and the Israeli Govt collapses, Netanyahu goes on trial and ends up in prison.

Shalom.

The "most moral army in the world's" bombing, shooting, killing and starving civilians, destroying their homes, hospitals, universities, libraries, historical buildings and monuments, mosques, churches, and waging a campaign to assassinate journalists, aid-workers, intellectuals, mothers would never be able to give birth to grow the population, children who would never be able to grow to adulthood, men who who would never be able to procreate to increase their numbers, all males of "fighting age" killed on sight or abducted by their thousands to be tortured, starved, abused and held indefinitely in Israeli prisons, all these crimes against humanity proven by a mountain of evidence, would never be called a "war" were the perpetrators not Israelis, Americans, Germans and British etc. So when do we stop calling these genocidal enormities "plausible"?

What part of love thy neighbor was October 7th again? Just need to be reminded.

The same part where IDF since 2009 to before killed 6000 Palestinians 99% unarmed civilians many children and women.

The same part that Israel has kidnapped and held on average 6,000 Palestinians including many children, women, lawyer trying to find out about the "disappeared".

The same part that Israeli army has imprisoned more than 12,000 Palestinian children since 2000.

And puts them on military trial for throwing stones and without lawyer or defence sentences them to life in prison most taken from the west bank where Israel isn't supposed to be!

The same part that lets IDF armed settlers killed 1,000 Palestinians and took their land in the west bank all before October 7th in order to build 140 more settlements in direct violation of the Israeli Palestinian agreement.

The same part that lets Israel torture all these illegally kidnapped Palestinians and violate 28 UN resolutions (all documented in a yearly report by the UN)

Now seeing Israel has constantly violated international laws, their own signed agreements, human rights, imprisons without trial tens of thousands including thousands of children.

I would like to know how the h... Israel gets away with everything we condemn places like Syria and Iran for doing!

Oh and please no junk about Israel being threaded by genocide!

In the same period 2009 to before October 7th IDF has killed over 6,000 Palestinians 40% women and children, Israeli settlers killed 1,000 from 2009 to January 2023 and in 2023 alone settlers killed 1,000 more.

According to Israel between 2009 and October 7th 350 Israelis were killed by Palestinians this includes regular civilians crimes with no political association.
