Dr Gloom 19714 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 This is the photo from my cousin’s house the other night. She lives in Beer Sheba. Those are rockets, not fireworks. Meanwhile my 17 year old second cousin (basically still a child) has just been sent to Gaza ahead of the threatened ground invasion. Refusal to fight would mean prison. Absolute desperation from Netanyahu to cling to power. What a cunt of a man 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 17520 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Awful stuff. There was an interview on the Beeb last night from a man whose block of flats had been hit by a Hamas rocket, killing a person I think. Whilst you could imagine his fear and exasperation, he advocated complete genocide of the people of Gaza as the solution Netanyahu should implement, saying it was the final solution to the problem. Words fail, I hope somehow peace can prevail but it doesn't seem likely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4948 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 What the fuck is going on in Israel at the moment - I've been trying to avoid getting caught up in looking at it but I keep seeing videos doing the rounds on reddit of Palestinians being shot, lynched, beaten, thrown out of their homes, etc. I watched this video through, of this Irish MP calling them out too: It feels like it's suddenly gone up a level or two in the chaos and destruction stakes.

If so, I’m actually speechless No, I'm paraphrasing what he said and don't want to make it sound worse than it is, but he wanted Gaza "raised to the ground once and for all" or words to that effect. I can sympathise a bit because someone in his block had just been killed, but the Palestine causalities are a magnitude worse. Israel's behaviour has always struck me as astonishing considering their history. Just shows as a species we learn nothing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to think at this point that either Israel is going to do exactly what this guys wants them to, or they're going to have to take a great many steps backwards in terms of how they're dealing with the issue. I mean this is already apartheid and it doesn't need to go much further for it to be genocide/ethnic cleansing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19714 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 this not a military conflict so much as a political one. my cousin reckons netanyahu, who has failed to win four general elections in a row and is unable to form a government, is using the situation to pull off a fascist, racist coup. it's a desperate attempt to cling to power, to reinforce his image as the strongman leader, tough on security. he doesn't give a shit about the innocent civilian casualties on both sides. he no longer needs votes, just hordes of incited, undemocratic, hate-filled jewish fascists and disenchanted, frustrated and dispossessed palestinians, who have had their fill of being treated like shit by Israel and their own leadership. It’s not as simple as that, of course, but that’s the gist. the violence in Israel is unbelievable, on every level. this has to be a turning point, or there is no future for this country. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is an illuminating op-ed from the NYT which explains the situation better than I managed to the other day and why Hamas and Netanyahu need each other. It’s a political play from both sides - absolutely sickening https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/16/opinion/israel-netanyahu-hamas.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 4948 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 It's the arrogance of it that gets me - why does she feel entitled to watch this man get arrested? To stand in his yard? To make a PR stunt out of his moment of humiliation? She's a fucking bitch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
