Decades of oppressive occupation and repeated attacks by armed forces on Gazan people had nothing to do with Oct 7.

Is that what you are saying. ?

I look forward to the next meeting of your like minded thinkers...held in a phone booth.

Hamas and the “Palestinians” sowed the wind. They are reaping the whirlwind.

According to the " Hell's Angels ", they too are complying with the law..

On the Israel side, how come some many, many breaches of UN Security motions/laws/decrees have been ignored ?

No...Israel is not complying with International Law of Warfare....here's one for example "Proportionality of Response "

Anyway, shouldn't you be writing your dissertation to the Nobel Peace Prize Committee explaining your wish Netanyahu gets the Peace Prize.

It doesn't need to be pointed out what is wrong with this argument, does it?

It really does

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has for two months talked of sending troops into Rafah to go after Hamas, 

Two months; too bad Hamas won't let them leave.

Israel being held to standards determined by the UN under laws Israel itself signed up to.

According to Israel, which signed up to the UN standards, it is complying with the laws.

If Hamas are "using" proximal human shields, then so did Israel by building their military base in a secular Kibbutz

We'll have to hope the Hamas terrorists don't continue to use civilians as human shields and don't keep using children as terrorists.

If Hamas are "using" proximal human shields, then so did Israel by building their military base in a secular Kibbutz and reorganizing the Nova psytrance festival to form yet another barrier between themselves and Gaza. Did Israel use human shields? I mean it wouldnt be the first time. It was part of IDF policy for years.

Students demonstrated against Apartheid, and in Australia, demonstrated against French Nuclear testing in the Pacific.

That was wrong was it ?

Israel being held to standards determined by the UN under laws Israel itself signed up to.

Not doing well today , are you Zibala.

You see, defending the indefensible has a limit and you've reached it.

Currently in Ivy League Universities across America massive student and faculty members are protesting the war/genocide in Gaza.

Allow students and faculty members to determine other countries' policies???

OK so for Israel to murder 36000 men, women and little children must go unmentioned but any criticism of Israel for this genocide is "anti semiticsm " and supporting terrorists.

Except it is not murder, and it is not genocide, but it is antisemitism to try and hold Israel to different standards than you do to other countries.

USA saying Israel should not attack Rafah.

Israeli President says he wants other nations to , basically, mind their own business.

OK good...can USA and Germany stop funding the Israeli war machine ?

No...didnt think so.

Currently in Ivy League Universities across America massive student and faculty members are protesting the war/genocide in Gaza.

Billionaire Israeli American donors to these institutions are calling for the protests to be shut down and in fact, the New York Police is arresting hundreds of non violent student protestors.

One Israeli faculty member at Columbia calls the protestors terrorists and the Israel Govt. web site repeats this stupid claim.

OK so for Israel to murder 36000 men, women and little children must go unmentioned but any criticism of Israel for this genocide is "anti semiticsm " and supporting terrorists.

Man, the depth of the ego and self worth and defering/transferring blame for this group beggars belief.

We'll have to hope the Hamas terrorists don't continue to use civilians as human shields and don't keep using children as terrorists.

This will greatly reduce the number of Hamas claimed "women and children" casualties.

Hamas is NOT in Rafah, and so are the hostages. Hamas would be a fool to just sit in their tunnels and wait for the IGF to attack them !!?

I would imagine that they have all fled taking the hostages with them.

Netanyahu is a FOOL thinking he can rescue them, 200 days have passed with ZERO success, only more dead Palestinian Women and Children and few Israeli's.

I wouldnt be surprised if they just openly killed them all. Israel thinks it is untouchable. What would the US do if Israel did just march in to Israel and murder everyone? Ironclad, right? The US would still support Israel.

The IDF forced Arabs out of Northern Gaza, telling them the south was safe. Now over 1 million are squeezed into Rafah with nowhere else to go.

Disgusting! When is the world going to stop the hypocrisy and sanction Israel?? War criminals !

Damn straight

Oct 7 has been described as a "failure of intelligence" by the Israeli's.

Yet the real "failure of intelligence " is in Israel's locking up millions of people in an open air prison without any access to basic human needs, continually under the military boot of Israel AND NOT EXPECT AN ERRUPTION FROM THE OPPRESSED PEOPLE .

That's a failure of intelligence and it means a blinkered stupidity born of arrogance

An arrogance that sees one racial group as superior, {God's chosen people } and the other group, Palestinian Arabs, not just as lesser beings, but as human animals to be dealt with as the oppressor feels.

Even at the base economic level, how much money has been wasted by Israel in maintaining this {so called } impenetrable security network of walls, soldiers, AI ,spies etc. ,and to what end ?

Peace is cheaper but the false and deluded dreams of a :greater Israel " drives the foolish onward ....towards what ?

More of the same or even the extinction of much of current Israeli lands.

This story wasn't covered by Japan Today but the Colonna report into Israeli claims of UNRWA involvement of the Oct 7th terrorist attack found that Israel has still yet to present any evidence for its claims.
