Yep, some very unpleasant posters defending terror attacks by Iranian armed and funded groups. Just as Israel, Saudi and others are forging peace and trade links together, Iran steps up it's campaign to dislodge the progress. |
Who has done that? |  | | |

There is an element of "Well, they started it!" from both sides which doesn't help.
Israel need to withdraw to the internationally recognised borders.
Palestine should be allowed to build their own state.
Neither country should operate in each other's territory, unless specifically requested or permitted by the other
International peacekeepers need to be admitted into both countries.
But the hardliners have taken over both territories and it suits outsides to keep the war rumbling on. |
Well said.
Not going to get bogged down in "side-taking", and I 100% condemn Israel's hard right politics + illegal activities over recent year, as well as this horrendous attack by Hamas of course, but some people are forgetting that, whether a mistranslation or not, the statement by Palestinian/Irani leaders to "wipe Israel off the face of the earth" is always going to prey on the minds of the largely Jewish population of Israel, most of whom only live there because of centuries of persecution in so many other parts of the planet previously.
I think you need to have lived in Israel for a while to understand the overwhelming sense of collective fear amongst the population, which pervades everything. - it's almost a hereditary thing. I spent 7 months on 3 different kibbutzim (N, middle & Negev) in the early 70s, & really couldn't stand the chauvinistic & defensive mindset of Israelis that results.
But if rockets are being fired into your country on an almost daily basis, which country wouldn't retaliate and/or get more defensive?
Sad that good work by previous, more thoughtful & enlightened Israeli, Arab, US & UK leaders appears to have gone down the drain.
Also sad that one or two people on here (edit - not you, and realise now that after the first couple of words in my first para, I should have posted the rest as a general reply to the OP/thread generally, not addressing you in particular - apologies for that) who should know better are still conflating 'Jewish' with 'Israeli'.

Absolutely disgusting. If somebody can be quite rightly prosecuted for glorifying the Hillsborough deaths or the tragic death of wee Bradley Johnson, then the same should apply to these scumbags.
It is worth noting however, that this event is nothing to do with the official Labour Party conference. Thankfully, these people are no longer in the main hall. |  |
