hugopal As an additional note - I’ve mentioned before that the most reliable opinion polls available have had Hamas support in Gaza at consistently above 50% across recent years.

Do you think Palestinians might be scared of Hamas and when it comes to option polls that they might just say what’s needed to be heard so they don’t have their door blown in at 3am?

    hugopal You really haven’t, you’re still dodging the question

    Your question is about whether or not the allies should or shouldn’t have pummelled Germany right? I’ve said it’s not comparable - international law has changed for starters. If you want me to directly answer an irrelevant question, then my answer is, I’m not sure - I disagree with innocent lives being lost in their tens of thousands on either side.

        Along_the_Wire The Conservative Party didn’t invade The Falklands, did they?

        It’s debatable if any invasion of the Falklands even took place by the UK, let alone the Conservatives or any other party.

        So anyway, you’d say that Israel is at war with Palestine then, based on the weird example you’ve tried to use above? Not just Hamas?

            Along_the_Wire then my answer is, I’m not sure

            That’s fine, at least you finally tried to consider it.

            “International law” bans the taking of hostages, as an FYI.

                  I they shouldn’t have done it, obviously.

                    hugopal I suggest they’re at war with Palestinians - they seem to be indiscriminately killing innocent civilians. It’s a war that can’t be won and will only get worse.

                      Along_the_Wire Yeah you fucking did.

                      No I did not - I said your thinking was similar to one of Hitler’s points of reasoning, not that you were “worse than”. And as a reminder - your stated opinion was that you “didn’t care” if millions of civilians died if they were merely unvaccinated, including that you subsequently wouldn’t have minded if they were therefore sent to concentration camps.

                      A very bizarre opinion considering your supposed compassion for civilians in this thread - in fact I doubt that most of the people in the Gaza Strip were vaccinated (nb - they weren’t), so why should you even care that they are dying now?

                      I didn’t just pluck the comment out of thin air!

                        Listen to yourself. You’re comparing my view on unvaccinated people (who had a choice) to innocent civilians being killed in a war?

                        For the sake of the wider board, can we go back to ignoring each other please?

                          Just aswell you are retired Grant, Hugo must be taking up a fair bit of your time here 😂

                            RichM it’s best to bail here or it’ll descend into me calling him a boring fucking cunt - something not even he could disagree with

                              <Jesus fucking wept, just ignore the boring fucking cunt like you said you would>
