Jesus, I thought you were thick when it came to football. |
Ah, good, when called out on your nonsense you resort to insults, well done you.
If you are incapable of holding debate on matters and just want to post up some numbers you've plucked form a story somewhere on Google, then fine, just don't try and dress it up like you know what you're banging on about. |  |

OK genius, please point to anything that I have said that is nonsense.
Why are you trying to bait people on an issue where people are actually dying? |  | | |

The normal opposition parties in Israel's current Emergency Coalition govt. don't seem to be having much influence in urging restraint do they.
I wonder what the mood is amongst ordinary Israelis about their Govt's latest tactics - normally there's plenty of opposition (& protest), but perhaps they're overtaken by fear now, which would be understandable. |
Think it was on another thread, but I mentioned before the BBC posted an interview with an Israeli near the area where Hamas attacked. He partially blamed the West for urging restraint before when Israel were at war with Hamas, saying if Israel had been allowed to carry out the attack in full, Hamas would have been destroyed. He backed not showing restraint now.
It would not be surprising if many Israelis shared this view. |  |

You'll never get any sense. The board as ever is a left wing echo chamber.
The usual lefties all jump on as normal and try belittling and bullying people like yourself. It's pointless. They have their faux egos to protect.
Honestly, a pointless exercise! |  |

Yes, saw that, hoped it was very much a minority view.
Could really do with a BBC 'From Our Own Correspondent' full length feature from Israel right now - that show really is a jewell in the crown of BBC World Service, never fails to be informative & enlightening. |  |

People seem to have difficulty understanding what's happened and it appears necessary to break it down into the simplest of terms, which is what I've done, to avoid confusion over what we are discussing.
Your attempts to bait me and derail the thread, alongside the accusation you make, are extremely distasteful. |
Give over, no one on here has called, or referred to, Hamas as "brave" as you seemed to imply, and your suggestion that the ordinary Palestinian population are a) to some degree complicit in Hamas' horrific actions and b) therefore can have little argument against what is happening to them is truly disgusting. As I said before, posting inflammatory stuff then playing the victim when you get the desired negative responses is bad enough on football threads.
Will leave it there as don't want to be a part of shifting the thread away from what has generally been an interesting and empathetic discussion. |  |

A is attacked by B, so B retaliates and the general feeling on this thread becomes disapproval of B, how does that make sense to anybody? Feels like there's a lot of underlying "stuff" that people are afraid to just plainly say and so they flip flop around it, but still firmly point the finger in direction of B.
In an ideal world, nobody gets killed, but that's not reality. Kids will be killed, alongside parents, grandparents, nephews, nieces, animals etc etc, a bomb doesn't discriminate, like the the Hamas terrorists didn't when they raped and murdered women, children and old people in Israel.
As others have alluded to, these "brave" fighters from Hamas hide in schools, hospitals and amongst the general public to give themselves a better chance of survival, I can't think of anything more cowardly. The question we don't know the answer to, is how complicit are the Gaza residents with all this? They had a choice and they chose violence, over peace, this is the sum of that choice. |
Correct, we don't know how complicit the Gaza residents are. That's probably all the more reason not to assume well over half the population deserve being starved and possibly killed, just because some other residents voted Hamas 17 years ago. Besides, the last two governments formed by Hamas were without elections. It's effectively a dictatorship.
You seem to be misreading the room. I'm not aware of anyone on here who isn't thoroughly appalled by the atrocities committed by Hamas. People are very plainly saying the loss of life is a tragedy. |  |

If 47% of the population are kids and 50%'ish of the population voted for Hamas, then you're indicating that pretty much the entire voting age population of Gaza firmly support (and voted for) a violent, terrorist organisation, that wages religious jihad in the pursuit of the destruction of Israel, who just committed horrendous atrocities.
You can't have it all ways, make up your mind, are they all innocent, or does the finger point towards the population being complicit with Hamas? [Post edited 13 Oct 2023 12:06]

Your idiocy is offensive enough when you're posting about something trivial like football, when it spreads to serious topics it's a bit much to be honest. |  |

If you read the thread and the room, it reeks of anger towards Israel, no other way to view it. I disagree with a number of the views expressed here, which seem far more embedded in historic beliefs and opinions, rather than recent events.
I see nobody has bothered looking wider than Gaza/Israel for answers, why did Hamas decide to attack now? Anything to do with Saudi relations improving with Israel by chance? Something which is widely viewed as detrimental to Hamas’ cause? | |

Yes, sure, why not, I'm in the wrong cos I won't support a terrorist organisation that just committed atrocities, resulting in the murder of thousands of innocent people.
And I'm the one with bad take? My days, this place man |
Who here is "supporting a terrorist organisation"? |  |

I can’t believe it’s taken you this long to reply to a post of mine, you are one of my groupies, well done on controlling your fingers for so long. It is a pity that you couldn’t focus long enough to contribute to the debate in any way, but there’s nothing unusual about that, is there? | |

Everything you are saying is pretty irrelevant to people being appalled at the actions of both sides. It's actually you that appears very blinkered here. | |

Bloody hell. I disagree with plenty of people on here but you are entirely misrepresenting the general mood.
If Israel could go in clean and kill every Hamas member that would be great. Unfortunately they are taking action which is going to kill a lot of innocent people. It's not black and white. They have the right to respond and when their people are being held hostage I understand the anger and the desperation but it doesn't change the fact a lot of innocent people are going to die in a number of horrific ways.
You seem to be one of those people who think you need to pick a side and then filter everything through that viewpoint. |  |

Either you haven't bothered to read this thread properly (let alone the many other threads on the topic), or your comprehension skills are very poor, or you're extremely biased yourself. Or maye a combination of those things. | |

I think there is another more unsavoury explanation, which is that they're trolling. They have form (usually football related) but to do it on a thread like this is really out of order. | |

Either you're trolling, or you have not been able to understand the mood, which as I see it generally seems to be a stated abhorrence of excessive violent acts, and a desire for peace rather than ongoing war. Any genuine criticism of Israel seems couched in understanding their need for justice, but not for them commiting a genocide.

I can only imagine what this character has been saying.
Theoretically only, we could have a working two state solution here if enough people used the ignore feature. Nothing specific, but I'm pretty sure certain yellow and greeny-coloured trolls are trying to twist very bad international events into their attempts at football trolling, which, if I'm right (and I may well not be) I find utterly despicable. |  |
