I seem to remember in the 1st Gulf war , Sadam fired a scud into Isreal that caused a bit of damage and Isreal got world wide praise for their restraint, as retaliating would have escalated that war. I’m sure that happened, though it was early 90s so I was probably pissed while the news was on so could be wrong

Gibsons?

Can only assume that had something wrong , something stuck , wouldn’t lift a container that high in any circumstance, unless he genuinely didn’t know what he was doing , in which case him and his company are fucked

I drove to Huddersfield last week and it was snowing a blizzard like the depths of winter over the tops , dark and bad visibility, tracks in the lanes the lot. came back an hour later and no sign of it ever snowing, no trace in the fields or anything, just bright evening sunshine and roads just a bit wet . freak shower in just the right conditions think

Yeh seems it from the clips taking the piss, does he do other stuff as well or is that the basis of it , just ruining people ? he is funny on those clips but that’s all I’ve seen

Is he the one who has clips all over taking the piss out of people asking them their job and stuff?

Aye, it’s almost as if it’s a discussion forum where people can put alternative points of view across about their concerns about the number of innocent kids being killed and their desire to reduce that aspect ,rather than just accepting Israel has carte Blanche to do what they like , it’s almost as if they have a concern about innocent kids, without knowing the full solution , the soft brainwashed screeching idiots.

Not what I said or was even inferring and is typical of the responses on here . “Gaza screechers “ really? that alone shows where this thread is in terms of rational thinking. I’ll leave you to it

No idea.

Don’t think I said that to be honest . Don’t have a “ side” , think Hamas are cunts who need obliteration, however, think if it could be done without killing innocent kids,( as far as reasonably possible as I accept it happens ) that would be more inline with acceptable protocols of civilised nations .

Possibly but the human shield aspect could be an argument why Israel have to tread lightly? they know they’re using human shields, so maybe don’t bomb them as you know you’ll kill innocents ? there’ll be those that disagree with that and say it’s Hamas fault for using human shields, my opinion is don’t bomb if you know innocents are there. it wasn’t some Hamas mouthpiece stating it either , it was a UN person, who had figures from other conflicts covered by media or not . I have no idea as I said,neither do you or anyone but if it’s true it’s pretty bad stat, think everyone would agree on that surely?

They will, but I heard a stat, that more children have been killed in Gaza in this 5 months that in the whole worldwide conflicts over the last 4 years . it was from an un aid worker, no idea how to verify it but if that’s anything near true it shows that the response has been disproportionate to put it mildly and isn’t the “ normal “ collateral damage that obviously does occur in these scenarios.

Aye, those lads making their own explosives out of soap and petrol, strapping them onto drones and still being successful in eliminating foxholes , only for a whole new batch of Russians shipped in showed that perfectly in one 5 min section . the whole dehumanising effect of trampling over “ dead fucking Russians” everywhere as they put it must be awful but also saw the human side when they found one of theirs , could see the effect on them .

Ukraine enemy in the woods on BBC2 now grim but fascinating, a battalion fitted with body & helmet cams showing the reality of it.

Yeh can’t remember which poster it was but he was raging about it 😄

The royals love a good St Patrick’s day celebration, celebrate it every year fair play to them

Indeed 😉

Yeh I know what you mean, but not creating a rabbit hole, certainly don’t want to, I’m just making the comparison , doesn’t matter the cause , just the organisation/ cause you said you supported were murdering British troops 20 years prior to your support starting and you wouldn’t do that for any other, it seems the Isreal thing is unique in that respect and I find it interesting and confusing in equal measure . not just you either by the way, in general

Not dislike or like you more than likely don’t support the republican cause in Ireland now though I’d say that’s me being presumptuous , but I doubt you’d support the aims that those who did that in Warrington want to achieve and you wouldn’t side with them

This is what interests me/ confuses me, you can obviously lean which way you like, but, 1967 was only 20 years after Jewish insurgents were hanging executed British soldiers in trees and booby trapping their bodies so those cutting them down copped it too and there was anti Jewish demos in Britain . it’s like leaning towards the Taliban now , as they’re now the government in Afghanistan and ignoring what they did in the early 2000s not saying you are wrong, just saying it’s strange that people pick either side with such surety on this conflict

Said similar at the start of this thread , when you consider Israel’s role in the terrorist murders of British soldiers to establish control in the state, the unwavering support is quite surprising.
