Are you a colonial type? your views do seem to point towards this

interesting perspective here

http://politicalviolenceataglance.org/2014/07/15/why-hamas-escalated-when-before-they-didnt/


"This pattern concurs with the assertion that the early round of missiles was largely the work of the PFLP or other factions with less firepower and an interest in demonstrating their resistance bonafides. It is not until July 7, after Israel struck a tunnel and killed 7 Hamas militants that Hamas unleashed its long-range arsenal and the overall number of launches jumps to over 80.


In other words, the macabre peeing contests currently taking place is not between Israel and Hamas, nor even Hamas and the PA, but between Hamas and the rest of the resistance camp. "

What he's calling for is genocide.

I guess the limit of info could just as easily be explained by sensitivity to the parents until the full facts are known.


Conspiracy type stuff sounds ludicrous to me, but that Netanyahu would take advantage is no surprise, he's a cynical bastard at the best of times and could only gain from derailing detente between Hamas and Fatah for a unified PA.


He'd have had to say Hamas' presence delegitimised it, in face of the fact that it was the opposite, how much nicer a good ramp of tensions.


Same reason that it didn't make sense that Hamas had done it as they would only lose following the deal.

Rival groups likewise only had something to gain from the deal as Hamas eased its way to pragmatism and ultimately to muddy compromise, portraying themselves as the true inheritors of armed struggle and HAmas as betrayers (just as Hamas had done with Fatah).


Dissidents in Fatah or Hamas always seemed the most likely, and Netanyahu's insistence otherwise reminded me of Aznar's insistence of ETA culpability in the Madrid bombs.

But, according to that article, that is for a purely defence system, not any attack facility. Or do you want to see people hit by rockets?

Whatabout if you see it as a massacre or not.

Whatabout it not getting in the way of day to day business.

Whataboutery covers a lot, can anyone imagine how these people will

feel, knowing people know what is happening,and a decision like this is made

supporting the people targetting your family.

Whatabout international law.

This line taken from the article says it all for me "The residents of Gaza are not innocent, they elected Hamas. The Gazans aren?t hostages; they chose this freely, and must live with the consequences" so just kill them all eh Israel?

http://www.imemc.org/article/68487


israel human rights say international laws being broken.


To call a ceasefire through the media, where no contact was made with Palestine is wrong,

To use the election of Hamas to justify civilians guilt, then refusing to recognise them as a polutical party

when it comes to a ceasefire is wrong.

The link above states what is law, Israels acts are crimes. Interpretation is being twisted to suit,

    • So you are justifying building on the green belt, in Londons case "the lungs of London" which will causes harm to natures ability to turn co2 into o2? 
    • But at the same time those she sought for advice told her, very clearly, she needed to seek specialist advice which she did not do and carried on regardless. So I think the jury is out on whether this was a legitimate mistake or not.
    • Thanks @Sephiroth I was thinking along the same lines (demonisation of Rayner by the media) and came across this article yesterday from Manchester Evening News.  It doesn't excuse her, but the title "Angela Rayner's real offence was being a working class woman in power" is self explanatory. https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/angela-rayners-real-offence-being-32422596 The crossing legs nonsense is particularly telling.
    • Given her role, she pretty much had to go. I don't think she is an avid tax-schemer who deliberately set out to avoid tax - I do pretty much believe her story of multiple high-profile roles and looking after a child with needs. But many regular voters juggle demanding jobs and families and are afforded no leeway by taxman, so she totally should have known better But here we are - she was found to be negligent and now she has suffered teh consequence. To me that its the OPPOSITE of all parties/politicians as generally the ignore the whole thing (today we have Tice saying Farage's tax affairs are of no interest to voters for example) And it would be poor form to not acknowledge why she was targeted quite so viciously - we even have posters on here here saying "when I saw her taping on a boat that was the  end for me" - like the end of what?. Her gender and class were clear motivators for many people. Two wrongs don't make a right - but it';s interesting to see some posters on here give so many others a blank cheque. Many are planning to vote for Farage despite his dishonesty being 100x worse than Rayner PS - I don't think she will join Corbyn party - unlike him she is smart and unlike him she recognises that being In power means you can at least stand a chance of delivering results This. The Greens will have a rise in the polls on back of new leader but that is one hell of a coalition of NIMBY/YIMBYs As what would Reform do if in government to help with... well, anything?   Labour can at least point to decreasing waiting lists, lower immigration numbers, not having a different PM every 6 months - not that anyone is listening
