@abierkhatib No Abier, you're deliberately misrepresentation her words.
What Helen is saying is that it was magic to witness the birth of a nation but it was wrong that many people were thrown out of their homes.
Yep, I've had many people say I'm not Irish, remove the tricolour from my bio, etc.
My nationality isn't really relevant to my comments or reasoning, but I am Dublin born and bred, now living in the UK.
It's all too typical of leftists to resort to ridiculous accusations to deflect from their complete lack of coherent thought.
They spoke a lot about the risk of genocidal conditions but had to clarify the fact that they did not conclude there was a plausible case for genocide.
Anyway, it's getting late, my hope is for peace to come to the Middle East, to all nations. There might be a 2 state solution for Palestine but if it's even going to happen it's been set back a generation or 2 by this war.
It's a shame everyone is piling in on Israel, Israel didn't want nor start the latest war.
Israel isn't openly saying that. The fact is that they could have wiped out Hamas in 2 days but didn't because the collateral death toll would have been over 1,500,000. The 70,000 death toll is remarkably low considering over 80% buildings in Gaza are destroyed. Having said that, every innocent death on either side is a tragedy.
Even the ICJ, often misquoted, didn't find plausible grounds for genocide. "Former International Court of Justice (ICJ) President Joan Donoghue clarified that the court did not rule that South Africaโs claim of genocide against Israel was "plausible""
