I was just about to say exactly the same thing. 

Plus - blasting my tumour wouldn't mean thousands of dead children.

Yup it's a bit of a daft analogy often used by hawks to dehumanise an issue they don't agree with.

Mate had to turn back from Salmsbury this morning. Protesters all over the gaff.

They even had a little tea and coffee stand.

Expecting that to start more and more down at our site. Think there’s a few more laws protecting it though down there.

Truth coming out about Israel’s actions in the West Bank today. 
 

Just goes to show they were oppressing & killing innocents long before the 7th October.

Be bigger news if not for Microsoft’s shite update.

No shit!

Israel has been in breach of un resolutions for yonks.

Been occupying land for decades.

Arab world been opposed to their existence also for decades.

They've been at each others throats for centuries.

All this is common knowledge, but again, your post only reflects one half of the story.

Fuck all will change, unless there is a change of heart- which nearly happened- with Saudi etc accepting the Jewish right to a exist.

[gonzo]

Kind of highlights the point that with all the atrocities going on before October 7th, with all the bullying and control Isreal were implementing, why the fuck would you carry out an attack and make the situation 100 times worse for your people?

It was like the shittest retaliation ever and served only to fuck everything up for themselves even further.

 Just reiterating the words of the ICJ. You can return to my other posts on this thread if you want to see similar criticisms of Hamas.

 What’s interesting is that one side is labelled as a terrorist organisation… but the other isn’t. When it’s quite clear they’re as bad as each other. 
 

What’s clear from their actions in the West Bank & the evidence in today’s report, is that Israel’s current government never had intentions to respect the right of Palestinians to exist.

They’re vermin. To do that to their own people for their own goals. You won’t find many worse people in the world.

People get desperate in war though. You see it from both sides in this one.
 

Israel haven’t done themselves any favours either. They never wanted any form of peace, else they’d have stopped the settler violence. 

Now security forces are saying we’re set for a new wave of increased violence from the likes of Isis due to Israel’s actions.

It blows my mind that Western governments defend them. It’s so counterproductive.

To be fair, RW is awful at that. I know he thinks right on every point ever even when wrong. Give me someone who changes an opinion.

That's why folks like RW are no doubt lovely people but such assurances in your own view smacks to me of limited experience.

It is. I understand you're not great at context or anything beyond your view. That's fine, but don't have a pop a folk when you are just on the same dull loop.

Also, I think like you, I'm actually working tonight so boringly no time to enjoy a beer my love.
