Getting as bad as China, I’m sure Elon will have something to say.

    Funky are the Irish government intentionally trying to make themselves as unpopular as possible?

        hugopal seems that way making the north seem almost normal for once. Problem in the south is you have no opposition parties they all sing of same hymn sheet.

          By Israel’s own estimates, 94% of the deaths have been civilian casualties.

          Worth it!

            C_J The key thing to remember though is that Israel inflicted this on the Palestinian people when they deliberately invaded and stole their land, whilst targeting and massacring men, women and children.

            Fixed that for you.

              Homegrove that’s the nicest thing you’ve ever said about one of Hugo’s posts

                Pro Zionist march in London getting good coverage from the Beeb I see.

                Homegrove ‘collateral damage’ they’ll say, when it’s blatantly terrorism.

                  Are there any stories about truly heinous Hamas Palestinians that have been freed during this hostage swap? Because right now I’m only seeing stories of Palestinians who were imprisoned as children and teens for years because they threw rocks at tanks.

                    Taking the time to bomb the Damascus airpot during the cease fire is really on point.

                    Are you being Syria’s?

                    Lol, you can’t have been looking very hard.

                    For instance, the exemplary individual who Gigi Hadid chose to post her happiness on Instagram at their release was Ahmed Mansara:

                    "In the since-removed post, Hadid shared a photo of Ahmed, who was imprisoned for going on a stabbing rampage in Jerusalem in 2015, where he proudly claimed, ‘I came here with my cousin to stab Jews.’

                    Disturbing footage released by police at the time, shows the then-13-year-old knife-wielding Ahmed and his cousin, Hassan Manasra, 15, chasing after Israelis on the street as the innocent civilians run away.

                    They critically stabbed a 13-year-old boy on a bicycle, who was leaving a candy shop"

                    “Ahmad was convicted of attempted murder and sentenced to nine and a half years in prison. While in prison, he attempted to harm himself and others multiple times”.

                        Of others who were arrested as teenagers, lots of them were c. 17 year-olds who amongst other things committed arson and/or were throwing molotov cocktails, and were serving sentences of typically about 2 years:

                          And here’s a clip with a few more of the released prisoners (which includes some of the Ahmed Mansara clip above):

                            Wow, on a related note - just another messed up tidbit I only just discovered about Palestinian society - they actually pay (or incentivise) their citizens to become martyrs, whether it be by becoming a suicide bomber or committing crimes which land them in Israeli jail:

                            “Families of individuals killed by Israeli security forces are paid stipends of about $800 to $1,000 per month. The families of convicted Palestinians serving time in Israeli prisons receive $3,000 or higher per month.”

                            "A 2017 analysis by The Washington Post revealed that $160 million was paid to 13,000 beneficiaries of “prisoner payments” ($12,307 per person) and $183 million was paid to 33,700 families in about in “martyr payments” ($5,430 per family) annually. Of the total amount, the newspaper estimated:

                            $36 million was paid to prisoners serving sentences of >20 years
                            $10 million was paid to former members of the security forces
                            $1 million was paid to families of 200 suicide bombers
                            $10 million was paid to the families of the Palestinians with life terms, lengthy sentences, and in the security forces"

                              Fucks sake Hugo. I wish you would just pick a side

                                Millsy refreshing to see someone be so explicitly “genocide is cool, kill them all.”
