Well they went to war against Israel, they lost, badly. Their country was destroyed. And they should do what countless other people have done in that situation, and go and settle as refugees elsewhere, perhaps to move back post-rebuilding and when they’ve given up on the idea of killing all the Jews in Israel. And, while on the subject of ethnic cleansing, how many Jews (or for that matter Christians) are currently left in Muslim/Arab countries in the Middle East? Or in Bethlehem post-Oslo accords? And why is it that no neighboring Arab country wants to help any Palestinians?
@CatholicRelief A whole year later & the cruelty, the killing, the starvation, the destruction.....still goes on. Has yr family survived? Just opened my Gaza press cuttings files & came upon the photograph of the 3 of you & article u wrote at Christmas a year ago. Love fr Sri Lanka
@zei_squirrel Starting with propaganda already ? An all out war will have civilian casualties. I know you covering for Hamas using Palestinians as human shields.
With all the great work you all do you really have to make these type of comments? That is extremely disingenuous and simply not true as a matter of fact and law. People need to be a lot more careful using that word genocide at some point, it is going to become just a meaningless phrase.
@RnaudBertrand Israel is a righteous nation and doesn't listen to the nations who curse its people. Their God blesses those who bless Israel, but He curses harshly to those who curse it.
@RuFreeman I've been trying for months now to get a copy of your book Extraordinary Rendition. Finally a friend in London has ordered it from OR books. Very strange that no-one here (SL) has reviewed it.
Erdogan, who is committing genocide against the Kurds and who holds the world record for imprisoning journalists who oppose his regime, is the last person who can preach morality to us.
The IDF, which is the most moral army in the world, is fighting to eliminate the most abhorrent and brutal terrorist organization in the world, Hamas-ISIS, which has committed crimes against humanity, and which Erdogan has praised and whose leaders he hosts.
@RnaudBertrand There are always spineless traitors in every war, in every country. Draft dodging is not unique to any country. He will do jail time, and he will be forgotten.
