Israel Palestine
- Edited
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

hugopal I just see sheer desperation and people who have been oppressed for generations in those videos.
Put a gun in Ahmad’s hand and turn his skin to white with some blue eyes, and all of a sudden he’s autistic and mentally unstable. More to the point he’s under 18, so really anything goes. Tell that to the James Bulger family.
Another novel-length thread worth reading. Good points about how Israel is happy to embrace known anti-semites as long as they support Israel. And Hugo-like call other Jewish people who do not support Israel in it’s current apartheid form anti-semites. For people like them the only real Jew is one who is a Zionist.

A 13 year-old hasn’t even been alive for a generation - chasing after another kid with a knife with intent to kill is clearly a sign of having a screw loose. And Ahmad was from Jerusalem btw, it’s not as if he was someone who had somehow been forced to leave anywhere.

I have no idea what point you’re trying to make here? Any kid of that age willing to run after another kid with a knife to stab them is clearly an incredibly disturbed and mentally unstable individual, whatever their race. The fact that he was detained is completely understandable. The killers of James Bulger were also jailed btw, despite them having been even younger at 10 years-old when they committed their offence. So really you’re agreeing that it was deserved.
Not really reading this thread properly, but I do now want to downvote Homegrove’s posts even more than Hugo’s.
How did that happen?
Homegrove they have lived in a bubble for years. They speak this way openly amongst themselves and just assume everyone else agrees because the west does nothing but shower them with praise and cash. Now that they have a platform to share their views and defend their actions they seem genuinely confused as to why everyone is suddenly upset with their daily routines.
Remember when folks here denied Israel attacked hospitals? How the fuck can anyone still be on Israel’s side?
Really Homegrove it’s very fucking simple.
Would you rather live under Israeli rule than Palestinian rule?
Because if the former, you could still play your records to (an admittedly small) handful of diverse PLUR-ed up people of different nationalities, who include gays who wouldn’t be stoned to death, whereas in the latter you would have already been chucked off a roof with your cats just for looking ‘infidel’.
bosstrabs did you know Gaza prior to October 7th 2023 had one of the oldest Christian communities on Earth and were allowed to practice their faith there?
None of Hamas’ atrocities come close to those trabbs you posted yesterday, Dave.
Already pulled the trigger.
On those trabs. Not Hamas.
Homegrove genuine question Hanners: what if you are on no ones side because those promoting wanton violence are all essentially fascist, fundamentalist cunts who long ago have turned their backs on any form of compromise and misled their people into a view of the future which drives their opponents into the sea ?
Fucking lol!
Are Hamas doing jihadi dance moves on TikTok?
I don’t know want to dox anyone, but I am fairly sure Hugo is just a Lindsey Graham alias. Could absolutely see that Ol’ Linds being into club music and Berghain so makes sense as I think about it.
LOL! Senator outed as pedantic ex pat Britt living abroad.
Definitely not genocide.
Having read this thread since i posted how fucked the whole Israel/Arab thing is + has been for years,Hannu is completely deranged.
Lol
Hamas-flag lol.
