Who's trying to dictate anything to the Palestinian resistance? All we can do is play the hurler on the ditch. . . And if this latest horror turns out to be for real. . .

Utter horseshit. You can't have moral lines you draw in the world?

You don't think there's anything to be said by people in other parts of the world in solidarity with dissenting voices within Palestine. Or Israel? Or anywhere? Solely the business of those with that country's citizenship or nationality or similar? It's all pro-Hamas and everyone else shut-up, full steam ahead for anything they do? Fucking hell.

I don't belive it to be true, but this post is after a report of babies being beheaded?

Edit - the post you quoted for someone I happen to have an ignore. If that was not clear.

Twitter/X is more repulsive than usual at times like this. There is bullshit everywhere. So many ‘hot takes’ which are just bad takes, so much ahistorical revisionism and loads of displays of performative drum banging.
Be good if U75 debated matters without unchecked twitter posts.

972mag is very good. I'd recommend them for people who want to read Palestinian and Israeli writers many of whom live there.This is interesting on Netanyahu and Hamas.
The end of the Netanyahu doctrine
The prime minister's claim that Middle East peace was possible without the Palestinians has been shattered by Hamas' incursion, and the ensuing war.www.972mag.com

We haven't lived our whole lives in an Israeli-run prison colony, discriminated against and threatened every day of our lives, loved ones regularly seen needlessly dying, dispossessed and mostly forgotten by the rest of the world. A bit of humility is due, at the very least, from those of us who criticise.

Not a Girly Swot, but I like them....
I'll believe the baby story when I see it in Haaretz or the JP - not saying it's not true, it wouldn't surprise me - it's just there's a lots of excitable/panicked/deranged people posting on SM.
The BBC is having a bit of a mare this week - they're still reporting tensions between Vortigern and the Hengist PMC....

Israel’s Channel 12 reports that Israeli officials warned their Egyptian counterparts against supplying aid to the besieged Gaza strip, saying they would conduct airstrikes on trucks carrying supplies to the area.
Shortly after the announcement, convoys of fuel trucks and Egyptian goods due to enter Gaza via the southern border crossing with Egypt “retreated from the Rafah crossing,” said Channel 12. The crossing is currently closed indefinitely.

There's no future in England's dreaming
Hen Mazzig is not only unapologetic for his Zionism, he even sees it as a blueprint for the rest of the world. His homogenization of Hamas as baby beheaders is not exactly coming from an unbiased slant. It is also only one unqualified sentence from that news report - unqualified except for "that's what they (the IDF) told us".

A bit of humility is due from those of us who criticise, what?
The rape and murder of kids?

I think that the word you need is "atrocity." Blowing up an electricity pylon is terrorism, but it is not an atrocity.

Why is it hypocritical to advocate an ethical standard?
There is a video online. I lasted about 3 seconds and almost vomited. A roomful of very young kids with their throats cut, dont know about the beheadings but no way I could make it any further.

No amount of cajolery...
I think you can criticise peace activists being kidnapped, raped teenagers being paraded around, etc
And the 'Those who criticise' line has been used by zionist apologists re Israel countless times through the years. 'We meant never again!' Etc

Do you feel the same about Ukrainian resistance? If you don't, why not?

Yes, fair enough. I'm thinking more of the Palestinians who support Hamas than those committing rape, tbf.

Before we fall out before the Urban Christmas Drinks might I suggest time out, or a breather away from the thread, or just stepping back from the last few pages?
This issue hasn't been resolved for hundreds of years, we won't resolve anything in 40 pages of an internet forum.

No problem. The wording of your post wasn't entirely clear.
