They have been saying that part out loud for a long while. People just pretend that they aren't.
Saying the quiet part out loud now I see.

Which people? Do you have any evidence?That there were apparently some people on the demonstration who specifically supported Hamas.
Where? At the London protest? Or are you talking about the NYC BLM protest?We saw the people with paraglider pictures.
This has nothing to do with the protest.Jeremy Corbyn called Hamas his friends in the past.
Another lie it seems. The saying itself predates Hamas' creation, emerging in the 1960s.But anybody chanting 'From the River to the Sea' is more loosely effectively allying themselves with Hamas' overall goal which is the destruction of Israel, rather than a more moderate 2-state solution. And that was being chanted a lot. You can't destroy Israel without killing lots of Israelis after all.
I was at the march - there was no Hamas flags, no pro-Hamas chanting, no glorifying terror. I know I didn't speak / see everything but it was a great show of solidarity for Palestine from all walks of life.But that does not mean the majority on the march took that view. We can't know that either way,
Not thick, it's just they're saying the quiet part out loud more often now.What an incredibly thick person.
Which if said by a Palestinian would undoubtedly be seen as calling for genocide but has become par for the course recently. Just people don't want to hear it.“This land is ours. All of it is ours. We did not come here to apologise for that.”
@Pogue Mahone where is your god now?They're walking it back now.

Israel's army is classed as 18th best.Israel has a top 10 army in the world, likely the best army in the Middle East (or at least the second best after Turkey) and by far the best Air Force in the Middle East (and maybe the second best overall after the US). They should be able to invade Gaza while fighting Hezbollah.
Just that it might be bloody for them considering that Gaza means urban warfare, while Hezbollah would fight a guerirà war. Both give significant advantage to the defenders.
Still, I think that if Hezbollah attacks in mass, Israel will occupy Southern Lebanon. Throw Syria in the combination, and Israel still wins. Of course, the more actors, the more damage to Israel, and consequently, the higher chance the US gets involved. And the more state getting involved means it becomes more unpredictable.
Labour have cleared up the point that Israel should allow humanitarian aid etc.
Do you think the unanimous international support that Israel got from the US, UK, and EU emboldened them to shut off water and electricity to the entire population?Labour have cleared up the point that Israel should allow humanitarian aid etc.
Poor preparation and a gaffe more than anything
The European Union will initiate a humanitarian air corridor to Gaza, president of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen announced on Monday.
"In the face of this horror Israel has the right to defend itself in line with humanitarian and international law," she says.
"And right now, Palestinians in Gaza are in need of humanitarian help and aid.
"They cannot pay the price of Hamas barbarism. And this is why the commission has announced to triple humanitarian aid for civilians in Gaza to €75 million ($79 million)."
The statement continues to say that the EU will be launching a "humanitarian air bridge to Gaza through Egypt".
It's not clear how exactly a humanitarian corridor might work
Apologising and correcting their mistakes. The evil, biased bastards.@Pogue Mahone where is your god now?
Ah, so you can't lose in this setup, I should have known!Apologising and correcting their mistakes. The evil, biased bastards.
All Israel fault?75 years of war, death and enduring misery, thanks Israel.
Do you have any guesses about what the feeling is right now? Based on the replies to that tweet, it seems that those families wanted to (understandably) prioritise their family member hostages, while the others want more bombing (understandably, but less so, imo!).The Netanyahu supporters are idiots, violent and totally incapable is accepting any sort of criticism against their **** leader.
c'mon man. you are smart enough to know what the effect is.Apologising and correcting their mistakes. The evil, biased bastards.
He's like this when he's asked about litterally anything. To scared to say anything in case the papers jump on him.Tweet

Well, not apologising would be worse, right?Ah, so you can't lose in this setup, I should have known!
"Hamas will want to exact the highest possible price for the release of the Israeli captives it is holding. Therefore, Israel's first and immediate task is to appoint someone who will deal exclusively with this matter, 24/7, a gentle person suitable for this challenge who will be dedicated full time.”
This, according to former Mossad director, Efraim Halevy, who spoke with IsraelDefense. Halevy spent many years dealing with the diplomatic aspects of Mossad's activities, representing the organization and the country in negotiations with various parties over the years.
A short time after speaking with Halevy, Prime Minister Netanyahu announced that he had appointed Lt. Col. (Res.) Gal Hirsch to handle the issue of the captives and the missing Israelis. It is estimated that Hamas is holding more than 100 Israelis. All government ministries will be subject to Hirsch's guidance on this matter.
"There have been reports of a proposal for the early release of women, the elderly, and children, but the Israeli government is not willing to negotiate with Hamas," says Halevy.
"With whom will Israel negotiate if not with Hamas? Refusing to negotiate means abandoning the lives of the captives. Even the worst government cannot avoid such negotiations. You need to talk to them and conclude the matter."
"Next on the agenda," says Ephraim Halevy, "is the establishment of a state commission of inquiry to investigate what happened starting Saturday. However, this is not an immediate matter; it should wait until the current events are concluded. After everything is over, there will be a need to clarify all the facts.
"You wake up on a Saturday morning and hear on the radio what has been happening in the south since the morning. It's been 50 years since the Yom Kippur War. At that time, I was the Mossad representative in Washington. I received warning signs of war ten days before it broke out; I passed it on to the necessary parties, and we all know the rest.
"I don't know how to explain what happened this week. I am not familiar with the facts, and I was not involved in any classified information, so I will not express an opinion on what happened at this stage."
Nope, but mostly Israel and it's WesternAll Israel fault?
The EU have zero power to do anything here. This is all a game involving the Israelis, Hamas, the US, and Egyptians (with a bit of clout from the Saudis and Qataris).Gazan Airlift?
President of the European Commission saying she wants to create a "humanitarian air corridor" from Egypt to Gaza
I'm sure you understand what the original report does, though.Well, not apologising would be worse, right?
@Pogue Mahone where is your god now?
The families want to be heard. The treatment of them has been terrible. It took many days for govenment officials to have any contact with them. It took Netanyahu nine days to meet with their representatives (and turn it into a political set-up).Do you have any guesses about what the feeling is right now? Based on the replies to that tweet, it seems that those families wanted to (understandably) prioritise their family member hostages, while the others want more bombing (understandably, but less so, imo!).
Nope.Which people? Do you have any evidence?
Where? At the London protest? Or are you talking about the NYC BLM protest?
It has everything to do with who supports Hamas though which is what we're talking about. Jeremy Corbyn.This has nothing to do with the protest.
It refers to the wiping out of Israel - which is now Hamas policy and their main point of difference with the Palestinian Authority, the successor to the P.L.O. from the 1960's. As long as people chant it they can't really complain if the Israelis decide to do the same thing back.Another lie it seems. The saying itself predates Hamas' creation, emerging in the 1960s.
I guess you missed the paragliders then. Perhaps you see what suits you? I see two sets of extreme irreconcilable religious ideology. You seem to see only one.I was at the march - there was no Hamas flags, no pro-Hamas chanting, no glorifying terror. I know I didn't speak / see everything but it was a great show of solidarity for Palestine from all walks of life.

In the grand scheme of things, not much? Was it even part of one of their main news shows? Or a clip from their 24 hour news channel? Just seems mad to me that tiny snippets like that would be in any way influential. Obviously whipping up a Twitter frenzy around the clip will expose a lot more people to it but that’s a separate issue.I'm sure you understand what the original report does, though.

Oh look, Israel's 'collateral' damage, bombing rescue teams working on a site already bombed. What makes so much more mad at this situation are the p*ssy Western nations looking at all this as still continuing to defend Israel, and then act holier than thou when it comes to criticizing Muslim countries and their human rights record, also being appalled when we don't buy into their BS.
Today Bayern also said they will speak to Mazroui because he put out a statement calling out Israel. Seriously, f*CK them, they were trying to act like they care about human rights when it came to Qatar.
No one in the West gives a damn about human rights, it's only power and money they care of and are very willing to look the other way when it favours either of that.
Dunno why you’re interested in my thoughts?@Pogue Mahone
Interested in hearing your thoughts on this read.
https://www.thenation.com/article/society/palestine-censorship-rallies-banned/
I have heard of a fair amount being banned. Some that you see in France were banned, people still went and protested peacefully. In fact our cnut of interior minister congratulated the police for arresting organizers and somme journalists.Dunno why you’re interested in my thoughts?
The general vibe seems to be that protests supporting Palestine are being banned or suppressed? Which seems odd to me in the context of thousands of people peacefully protesting all over the world.
@The Corinthian was at one of those protests. I’m sure he would have mentioned if he had to run away from baton charges, or water cannons. Or maybe he just hasn’t got round to bringing that up?
No, that's not the "general vibe" of the article, which (especially in the context of the posts before) goes into some detail about the media reaction. Which, the article suggests, is a bigger problem than "tiny snippets from a news show".Dunno why you’re interested in my thoughts?

So we expect Hezbollah to get heavily involved in the coming days, following iranian remarks?Canada has urged its citizens to leave Lebanon. I would imagine other countries will follow.
I'm still doubtful to be honest. Why would Hezbollah get involved, with what goal? They're not wiping out Israel with 2 American carrier strike groups nearby.So we expect Hezbollah to get heavily involved in the coming days, following iranian remarks?
Its sort of why Hezbollah exists, so I would imagine the Iranians will use them to open up a 2nd front once the Israelis start the ground war.So we expect Hezbollah to get heavily involved in the coming days, following iranian remarks?
