@im_PULSE @Solfasan @CKoellmannZH @UN Wow! Intelligent response.

@ramixgz @CKoellmannZH @UN You’re sick.

People concerned about the welfare of ‘the children’ in Gaza should be wondering why they are being indoctrinated to hate the Israelis and become future ‘martyrs’.

Who is actually committing a genocide or intends to? Use your brains people, the evidence is in front of you.

[Ahmed Al-Khalidi @khalidi79397]

Why does a UN agency the world calls "humanitarian" keep producing Hamas company commanders disguised as schoolteachers?

A US federal probe just flagged 101 more UNRWA staff as October 7 participants tied to Hamas's military wing. School principals. Math teachers. Psychosocial counselors. A sniper. A man tasked with moving anti-tank missiles on the morning of the massacre.

If a "deputy school principal" is also a deputy company commander in the al-Qassam Brigades, who exactly was teaching the children, and what were they teaching them?

How does an organization claim it cannot possibly vet its own staff for terror ties, while Hamas somehow has no trouble identifying which of those same staff to embed as platoon commanders and squad leaders?

At what point does "isolated individuals" stop being a credible defense? 108 already blacklisted, 101 more referred, an investigation spanning 1,500 suspected staffers. What's the number that finally changes your mind, 5,000? 10,000? Is there one?

Why have UN agencies reportedly stonewalled the investigators rather than open their files?

Why did it take a US inspector general, not the UN's own internal oversight, to surface this? What does it say that the institution tasked with "relief" had to be investigated by an outside government to learn who was on its payroll?

The donor governments that funded UNRWA for decades, the journalists who cited its casualty figures as gospel: do any of them owe the public an explanation now?

If these are the people running the schools, what is being built inside the next generation of Gaza's children, and who decided that was acceptable to fund?

Oh, grow up. It’s a war and the only people to blame is Hamas. Or do you just want Israel to sit on their hands and allow those bastards to continue lobbing bombs into Israel and probably repeat October 7th over and over again. As per their mandate? FFS, I’m so over stupid people.

[JacquiP @jacpem]

This is a remarkably convenient theory.

Whenever something happens that you don’t like, simply find a strategist in the background and declare him responsible for everything.

The problem is that politics doesn’t work that way. The Lib Dem collapse wasn’t caused by Ryan Coetzee. Brexit wasn’t caused by Ryan Coetzee. And the DA’s relationship with the FF+ isn’t determined by Ryan Coetzee.

Political parties make decisions based on their own interests, voter coalitions and electoral calculations. The DA has strategic reasons to distinguish itself from the FF+ whether Coetzee is involved or not.

Claiming that one adviser is the puppet master behind every decision is just dumb.

@tarathinks How do you know this? You have a poll you can refer to? Substantiate otherwise it’s just something on your wishlist.

Top British attorney Natasha Hausdorff dismantled the Palestinian narrative with cold historical facts.

There was never a sovereign Arab state called “Palestine.” The British Mandate of Palestine was simply British administration over the historic Land of Israel after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire.

Jews lived continuously in the land for centuries — including under Ottoman rule, when they formed the majority in Jerusalem. Before 1909, Tel Aviv was empty desert legally purchased by Jews, who built it from nothing. No Arabs were displaced.

After the British handed the mandate to the UN, the Arab world rejected the partition plan and launched a war to destroy the Jewish state. Arab armies and local militias tried to “push the Jews into the sea.” At the same time, Arab countries ethnically cleansed their ancient Jewish communities, forcing nearly a million Jews to flee to Israel.

During the war, Arab leaders ordered local Arabs to evacuate combat zones so their armies could annihilate the Jews. Many of those who left later became permanent “refugees” under Egyptian and Jordanian control.

Israel has never committed genocide — and never will. By defending itself, it prevents another holocaust.

Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Islamic regime of Iran are the real obstacles to peace in the Middle East.

Retweet if you support Israel’s right to exist and defend itself.

This feels like an attempt to shift responsibility from bad governance onto economic theory.

Apartheid left deep inequalities, nobody serious disputes that. But it is difficult to explain state capture, Eskom’s collapse, Transnet’s decline, rampant corruption, cadre deployment and decades of policy failures through “neoliberalism”.

South Africa’s problems are not the result of one thing. They are the result of historical inequality compounded by poor governance. Ignoring either side of that equation leads to an incomplete diagnosis.

@Amaiur09581574 @sFletwitt @HenMazzig Perhaps one day….sadly.
But these don’t have a choice any more.

[JacquiP @jacpem]

@sFletwitt @HenMazzig Indeed we do.

[JacquiP @jacpem]

@sFletwitt @HenMazzig Let me fix that for you:
These weapons and explosives are used to kill terrorists. Every day - because the terrorists continue to attack Israel.
You’re welcome.

My issue isn’t with people criticizing Israel. Every democracy should be open to criticism, especially when military operations result in large-scale civilian suffering.

My issue is with people pretending there is only one side to this conflict.

Hamas deliberately targeted civilians, murdered families, took hostages and has repeatedly stated its intention to repeat such attacks. Hezbollah has spent years building an armed state within a state in Lebanon, firing rockets into Israel and dragging Lebanon into conflicts many Lebanese themselves did not choose.

If rockets were being fired into any other democratic country for years, and then thousands of armed militants crossed the border, massacred civilians and took hostages, that country would respond militarily. The United States would. Britain would. France would. South Africa would.

That does not mean every Israeli action is beyond criticism. It does not mean every strike was justified. It does not mean civilian deaths should be dismissed with a shrug.

But neither does civilian suffering magically erase the actions of Hamas or Hezbollah.

The same people who demand “context” when discussing Hamas often demand none when discussing Israel. The same people who correctly point out civilian casualties in Gaza often have very little to say about Hezbollah embedding itself in southern Lebanon, firing rockets from civilian areas, or turning Lebanese communities into frontline positions.

A balanced view accepts that Palestinians and Lebanese civilians are suffering. It also accepts that Hamas and Hezbollah bear responsibility for helping create and prolong those conditions. And it accepts that Israel has legitimate security concerns while still being subject to moral and legal scrutiny for how it conducts its wars.

If your analysis always concludes that one side has no agency, no responsibility and no accountability, then you’re not looking for truth. You’re looking for villains and heroes.

@sky7i @havivrettiggur @Wikipedia Another nameless propagandist. Sigh.

[JacquiP @jacpem]

@ElsaAubergine @havivrettiggur @Wikipedia Wow - now that’s what I call being fully propagandized.

[JacquiP @jacpem]

@jared_wilburn @senafins @HenMazzig In short: you’re a total fuckwit. End of story.

[JacquiP @jacpem]

@jono700101 @RyanCoetzee @alanwinde That’s because some of the ‘people’ are actually pretty clownish themselves.

[JacquiP @jacpem]

@EmmyJo87 @Bushra1Shaikh @WestminsterWAG It’s okay - you can’t help being stupid.
