How many children in Gaza today, will not have pure vengeance in their blood towards Israel, for the crimes Israel is doing to them right now? Its said it takes a generation? As an example Netanyahu had a brother died in conflict. Possibly / probably among reasons he is a hardliner. Was also a fighter. Yahya Sinwar more family & more blood on his hands. Including Palestinian. 46 minutes ago, moosehead said: Blinken said that “the only way to ensure that this crisis never happens again is to begin setting the conditions for durable peace and security”, including “no reoccupation of Gaza after the conflict ends”. The key question is who supplies security and peacekeeping? Also rule of law. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanPer Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 6 hours ago, Taxi said: I think its quite the opposite. Prior to Oct 7, a lot people were giving Hamas the benefit of the doubt and questioned Israel's actions on the grounds that Hamas could never cause any real damage to them. After Oct 7, we know that not to be true, and that Hamas is very much a threat. Considering the level of devastation in Gaza, very few people have been speaking out against Israel. Typically, the world comes down on Israel hard after about a week of bombing and pressures them to stop. This time has been different. The only people speaking out are the ones who had already made up their minds about Israel beforehand. The kind of people Israel was never going to woo to their side. Sorry, @Taxi, it’s not meant as a reply to you. Just saw a quote of a moose head about “more and more people choosing to boycott Israeli products and services”. This is one of the biggest bs things. Those who choose to do so are conveniently ignoring the boycott of things that would make their life impossible. First and foremost, every one of these clowns should throw away their computers, because standard now solid state hard drive was designed and developed in Israel. That would put many of these “boycott-warriors” out of jobs, most likely, because they have to use computers for their daily work activities. They also have to give up their cell phones since most of the current phones use variety of Israeli technologies, including face unlocking. Oh, and don’t forget to stop using Google and predictive features of Google search were developed in their R&D office in Israel. So, get on with a program, get back into the 80s and live your life disconnected… 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technology originating from Israel like SSD's doesn't benefit Israel directly in their efforts against Palestine. The things being boycotted for example is HP, who run systems for the IDF. Or Dell, which donates millions to the IDF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck Surfer Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 (edited) Once upon a time the Middle East was full of Jews. Algeria had a 140,000 Jews. Where are they now? Egypt had 75,000 Jews. Where are your Jews? Syria, you had Tens of Thousands of Jews. Where are your Jews? Iraq, you had 135,000 Jews. There are none now. Where are your Jews? Where is the real Apartheid Mr UN President?

Agreed, 100%. The thing is, at a large rally, some protestor with a megaphone was screaming about which companies need to be boycotted, with dozens to hundreds of people listening on....and she said NIKE...while wearing nike's. It is stupid as hell. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Long Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 14 hours ago, Junkyard Dog said: Good post but to add context in regards to the religion aspect of it. Muslims, Jews and Christians all fundamentally follow the same god. They’re all Abrahamic religions. They just each share different ways/beliefs/relationships with god. There’s some irony to be had here considering despite that fact these religions also have fought each other and committed atrocity throughout history. Though I guess when another religion comes in claiming to be the true religion of your god then you might have significant issue with that. What a world we live in. Until we stop trying to control and kill each other over sky fairy preference we will never get a handle on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
