What happens if you give money to a regime that shoots and kills civilians waiting for food at aid stations, uses children as target practice for snipers, commits sexual violence against prisoners, and calls for the use of starvation as a weapon of war, all while claiming to have ‘the most moral army in the world’?
@valhac@BriannaWu What’s the conspiracy theory? There is nothing bigoted in what I said. If you are referring to the Israel lobby’s impact on US politics, it is documented fact, not theory.
Lol, so the BBC, UN and Amnesty etc are all ‘captured’ by pro-Palestinian voices!?
That is completely detached from reality. The BBC has for decades presented a one-sided, pro-Israel narrative on what is going on in Gaza and the West Bank.
Senior editors are terrified of criticising Israel because they fear being smeared as antisemitic by the very well organised and well funded Zionist lobby. The same goes for politicians in the UK.
Who exactly on the Palestinian side has ‘captured’ these organisations? And how are they funding that capture? (They aren’t. it’s a fiction that you have invented, and you have no evidence for)
@HeidiBachram There is a right to free speech in the UK which means there is a right to protest. You can’t just shut down people saying things you don’t like.
What total nonsense. When do you ever hear people critical of the Israeli government saying Jews drink blood or worship Satan?!
That is simply unhinged and detached from reality. Saying things like this just makes you sound ridiculous. There is no link between criticism of the Israeli government and the mad accusations you’re talking about.
@Mr_Andrew_Fox You’ve not responded to his question though have you? You don’t have a valid answer on the facts so you just attack the person. The most tell-tale sign of someone who knows they’ve lost the argument.
The main thing ‘getting people killed’ in this situation is the IDF. Will you post about those deaths?
Will you post about the senior surgeons who give accounts of dozens of children killed by a single sniper bullets to the head?
Will you post about the civilians at food banks being shot and killed by Israel?
Will you post about the most senior Israeli military command demanding starvation be used as a weapon of war?
Will you post about Israeli soldiers committing sexual violence against Palestinian detainees?
Will you post about the illegal bombing of Lebanon and the murder of civilians there?
Or are some lives worth more to you than others because of the race or religion they belong to?
@matthewdmarsden He said this months ago when bellinhgam was getting a lot of criticism from certain parts of the media. Some of those people were calling for him to be dropped because of his ‘attitude problem’.
It’s not selective outrage. Israel’s barbarity in Gaza is not comparable to the actions of any other country in the world at the moment. It is uniquely cruel. The outrage is proportionate and entirely justified.
It should be even greater but our media fails to report on much of it so many people still do not know the depths to which Israeli society - it is not just a few fringe extremists - has sunk to. Truly, truly shocking.
@EinatWilf@realzoestrimpel You need to read the room. When senior figures in the US are telling you Israel needs to change, it means Israel has no friends left. It’s over. Stop the violence.
