Alistair saw the Piers v Corbyn interview and thought fookin’ brilliant that.

Are people still going for the ‘you want a cease fire so you must be anti semetic / a peado / a transvestite’ route?

Along_the_Wire

nicksneddon Sadly yes. Another argument is that a ceasefire merely give me Hamas more time to regroup and re-arm. I doubt Israel would think about doing that themselves though, right?

I’m stealing this for the next time I’m attacked on here. It’s definitely around the jc level and fits the debating style perfectly.

alistair The fundamental difference here is Palestine has a population that is 50% under 18, and the death toll has been consistently 50% under 18. And you can put your October 7th Hamas terrorism blinders on all you want, but there is no forgiving the death of nearly 5000 children over the last month. This is nothing short of state sponsored terrorism by oppressors who have been wheeling and dealing land grabs for over half a century.

Homegrove It’s just that the children’s deaths are so galling because people keep saying the people of Gaza voted for Hamas. In 2006.

People on here - with comments like the above - are acting as if the allies shouldn’t have bombed Germany and marched on Berlin, and instead tried to broker a ceasefire, because not every German civilian would have voted for the Nazis in 1933 (before they also then turned their country in to a totalitarian, one party, single ethnicity state which invaded its neighbouring country and wished for the extermination of all Jews).

rhouses the absolute cognitive dissonance in this post when you think of India’s recent history. It still hasn’t even publicly criticised the invasion of Ukraine.

Here’s another interesting stat about Palestinian demographics:

“Among Palestinian Arabs the rate of consanguinity is very high and some 44.3% of the marriages are between relatives (22.6% of them between first cousins)”.

Bit fucked off with all this children bollocks if I’m honest HG. Comes across a bit ‘whiny liberal’ and slightly patronising.

Murdering anyone is off really, doesn’t matter if they’re old / young / black / white / Welsh etc…

General observation by the way, not specifically targeted at you.

Homegrove

Mad_Cyril not that I’m disagreeing with you either. It’s just that the children’s deaths are so galling because people keep saying the people of Gaza voted for Hamas. In 2006.

Mad_Cyril

Homegrove not that I’m disagreeing with you either.

I know mate, likewise. We don’t have to debate it to prove which of us is right or wrong, and I wasn’t really trying to.

Was more of a general observation 👍

Along_the_Wire

Homegrove and 38% of them voted for them then

hugopal

Homegrove Yeah, I’m pretty sure nobody here needs to be convinced of the fact that Hamas are absolute cunts.

Then what do you propose is done about them?

zackster

hugopal Germany was not an open air prison at the time. They also had access to light and power at all times.

alistair

hugopal Quite. A ceasefire with an unrepentant Hamas is laughably naive. Give up the hostages

hugopal

zackster Germany was not an open air prison at the time

Yeah they were free to come and go in to France and Poland any time they wanted…

What a fucking stupid comment.

zackster They also had access to light and power at all times.

Not when they were bombed.

You really have lost your marbles in this thread zacko.

Along_the_Wire

alistair what do you see as the favoured outcome - what’s the best Israel can realistically expect?

hugopal

Along_the_Wire and 38% of them voted for them then

Hamas had the most votes of any party at 44%, with what you say to be 38% of the possible people who could have voted.

Funnily enough, in 1933 the Nazis also won the election with 44% of the vote, and that represented 38.6% of the potential voting population.

So following your supposed reasoning - and as per my comment above - should the allies have then tried to negotiate a ceasefire with the Nazis, and not have bombed them or marched on Berlin, because not everyone had voted for the regime?
