no you don't - there is very limited knowledge and almost no 'logic' in your argument - just the usual blinkered nonsense of a colonel blimp in denial.


Very limited knowledge? No that's you remember. I actually know what I'm talking about and have researched and taught this topic while subbing.

As for moaning at me for being rude....Well, that's just hypocrisy.

Balk surely?

Israels response to the Hamas threat is over the top. That is not to say that Hamas don't pose a threat, but Israel to my mind are doing a great recruitment job for Hamas and other organisations who do not see Israel in a good light.


Yup....I agree with you Nick...It's way over the top..It's actually quite nice to type those words.

As you may have noticed, I am only rude to you, no one else, because you treat people with such contempt. Showing you up as a pompous, xenophobic little Englander is just too easy.

You are a person of very limited knowledge, ability and experience and if you do have some intelligence, you keep it well hidden.

The idea you could teach anyone over the age of 6 is quite scary (indeed teaching under 6's is also a worry).

 


Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand!

Good old Hamas. Rejecting an extended truce which will cease the hostilities and deaths:

[Link]

When will the Palestinian people wise up and get rid of these arseholes who care not a jot for their own people and only of sustaining their own power?

Probably because Hamas provide 80% of the welfare, education, food and security in the Palestine Authority.

Before Hamas it was Fatah, and before that The PLO.


Security equating to 'encouraging [sic]' Palestinians to face Israeli shells with their bare chests whilst being placed at hospitals, schools and other such buildings where, coincidentally, a s*** load of Hamas rockets are situated?

Palestinians need to reject these c***s. They are killing these people.

Edited by matt_himself (17 Aug 2014 7.33pm)


They aren't though are they? Israeli rockets are. You're conclusion is based on the premise that Israel have to launch rockets at civilian targets if there are rockets based there (something which seems true although to what extent none of us know).

Let's not forget that the human cost of blowing up schools, hospitals and other humanitarian relief centres is far greater if they are destroyed with US weapons that annihilate everything but the fillings in their teeth, than if they accept that massacring dozens is not a fair price to pay to destroy some largely ineffective rockets.

There is NO justification for bombing these targets, just as there have never been any justification for targeting civilians. People only become human shields if you still go on and fire weapons at them. It is always a two-way process, and no matter how extreme Hamas' actions become, Israel will always be committing unspeakably depraved acts if they continue to fire.

Edited by serial thriller (17 Aug 2014 7.45pm)

Complete and utter bollocks. Israel is targeting where the rockets, being launched at their people, are coming from.

Hamas is situating these rockets on built up areas and strategic sites, such as schools and hospitals.

In order to stop the massacre, Hamas need to be deposed from power.

However, you will never accept that Hamas do wrong because it is against your 'right on' programming, isn't it Serial Boredom?


I don't know, nor will I claim to know, the exact situation in terms of where rockets are or are not situated in Gaza. Hamas claims they are in underground tunnels, Israel say they are in humanitarian areas. But both of those are serial liars.

I agree with you that Hamas is an obstacle to peace. However their rockets have killed 3 civilians since the fighting began, and to my mind this makes any justification on Israel's behalf about bombing hospitals, schools etc. in order to protect people f*cking laughable. They are to blame for their actions, and as much as they try and shift the blame, I hope it is Netanyahu and his government going to sleep every night with the cries of innocent Palestinian children ringing in their ears.

As for the bit in bold, yes I do try and be 'right on' Matt, I much prefer it to being 'right off' the mark. I've long accepted my role in your mind as some sort of lefty-liberal cyborg intent on cosying up to terrorists, converting the nation in to peadophile vegans while sucking Karl Marx's posthumous member till it coughs up it's final centuries-old load, but actually, and this might come as a surprise to you, I'm really just a human being with a couple of views I agree upon with you and a few that I don't. I try to think about nice things when I get angry, drink some orange juice maybe, take a walk, and avoid unnecessary confrontation. I'll die one day and so will you, ending both of our pointless little cameos on this planet, neither any more right or wrong about anything than when we first plopped from our mother's uterus'. So basically what I'm saying is, instead of getting some warped self-satisfaction from unprovoked sly digs at those you categorise as opposing your perceptions of the world on here, why not have a sit down, put some chilled jazz on, maybe think about loved ones, before committing to post on a public forum eh?


In response, may I suggest that you cease getting a boner from pointing out those who oppose you are heartless, uncaring, sub human and nazi b******s in a patronising and passive aggresive manner?

Also, using loads of words to justify yourself doesn't make you right. Just saying.


Only a very decent human being would make the effort to start a thread about people coming here in a container and making the rest of us think about such an iniquitous 'industry' so none of those labels can be applied to you.

Take a bow, Matthew.

Quote serial thriller at 17 Aug 2014 8.51pm

I'm not unaware that it's been going on ad infinitum but this doesn't make it any more tolerable.

In killing a non-threatening civilian you are taking life from somebody who posed no threat to you in order to prove a point to somebody else. It is a sick thing to do and should be avoided at all costs. It suggests a hierarchy of life and an arrogance of control that repeatedly doesn't deliver the ends it desires. Are Israel doing anything more than flaming the hostilities towards them in Palestine by murdering civilians, are they achieving a long lasting peace by blowing bits of family members in to the air which are lying dormant waiting for aid?

Sure they may take out a few bombs in the process, but the bombs aren't the issue; it's the mentality that allows the Palestinians to vote in Hamas who will fight Israel by any means necessary, be it by arms, suicide bombings or something even worse, and that's the mentality which surges through Gaza every time Israel decide to target innocents.


The whole premise of your post is biased and wrong.

Israel haven't been targeting civilians so the language of your posts is misplaced.....Listen how many civilians in Gaza have died?......What is it? Even according to the Hamas backed health ministry it's around about a thousand isn't it?

Do you actually know the population of Gaza? It's one million eight hundred and sixteen thousand.

If Israel were truly 'targeting' civilians mate, Gaza would be a river of blood stretching from end to end.

Stop believing the hype.


You are losing the plot Stirling. Third incursion into Gaza in last nine years with around 6,000 civilian deaths including a helluva lot of children. Wounded must be at least three times that too.

If they are not targeting civilians they are doing a bloody bad job at it.

Errr.....That still means you're a hypocrite.....For someone who professes to recognise the presence or absence of intelligence you display poor credentials.

As I told you once before bitter lemon, you make statements with no content backing them up......Particularly on this thread.

Your loaded phrases do provide me with occasional amusement though....Though you drag it on for too long. The insults mind are getting rather stale now. What is it?....'Pompous, xenophobic little Englander'.

Well, 'pompous'.......Yeah, I can be pompous....Mind you coming from you that's just more hypocrisy....You do a lot of that....Is it connected to your job perhaps?

'Xenophobic'.....Nope, that's probably just your poor understanding of my arguments. Provide the content to back up the statement.

'Little Englander'.....Well, that's just a repetition in meaning of xenophobic.....I guess your understanding of intelligence should have informed you of that before you typed it.....Guess not.

They are fighting Hamas Kermy......Though I recognise the issues of civilian deaths.....And as before some elements of the IDF are loose and unethical cannons.

Like I stated before, if Israel really wanted to kill civilians......They aren't being very effective at it....There are one million and eighty thousand Gazans.

The reality is that they are targeting Hamas and that civilian deaths are an unavoidable result of how Hamas operate......If you attack them, most of the time you're also going to also kill innocents.....It's how they fuel the fire.

Don't forget there are no soldiers in Palestine. Everyone is a civilian. This distorts the numbers.

I am not taking sides, just pointing out that whatever one thinks, nothing is clear cut.

Is it the fault of 'evangelicals' and 'right wing extremists' that those poor people ended up in a container in Tilbury Docks, so you can claim the moral high ground and unleash a misguided and misinformed diatribe at people who you despise but don't quite understand the reasons why you despise them?
