Exactly what did he say that was anti-semitic? That he doesnt consider Hamas terrorists but mujaheedens? Newsflash UN and many nations do not consider Hamas a terrorist organisation. If Hamas is a terrorrist organisation, so is Israel.Well it's actually the truth, just coming from an unpopular source
I think that "ethnic cleansing" would more of an apt description, which would still go against the UN Security Council Resolution 1674 and is of course wrong on any level. I see people throwing around the word "genocide" which has been around since the mid 40's without fully understanding what it entails. Here's what the UN says about this:Genocide is a broader term than just "kill all of them". If the ultimate goal of Israel is to gradually force the Palestinians out of Gaza and the West Bank, then that would be genocide.
Dont make things up.Key is in the words. Criticism of Israels supporters and Zionism in general is anti semitism, but he doesn’t give a feck. Blinded by hatred. He approves of ripping kidnap posters off walls, and he is visibly supportive of Hamas too so it’s par for the course.
I've seen many of his interviews about the Russian-Ukraine war, and he's a source I'd take with someting like a ton of salt.
Refreshing honesty.Tweet

But what would have been a fair and proportionate response from Israel?If we pretend that nothing happened before october, the world started at that time and Hamas did this horrible thing that everyone condemned, as they should.
How can people still watch videos of children blown to pieces, mothers buried under their own homes and fathers dead cowered in dust from bombs and still think, ”yes, this is fair. This is a fair response”?
I pity everyone of you who thinks that this is in any way okey, fair or the ”only way a nation should response”
That is not what proportionality means.The proportionate response would have been to invade Gaza, rape, murder and burn 1400 civilians and then take 230 of them back into Israel as prisoners.
No of course not, that would be horrible.But what would have been a fair and proportionate response from Israel?

Would this have been a fair response?
What is the hypocrisy compared to Ukraine?This thread is just people trying to find a starting point to this conflict. I don’t care who started it, the reaction from Israel right now is over the top and will only create more friction in that part of the world. Nothing justifies trapping people in a region, cutting off food, water, electric, telephones and emergency aid. It’s disgusting how the Western media are portraying what is happening and slowly the general public are starting to realise the hypocrisy compared to Ukraine.
Are comparing them to terrorists? Israel is a democracy, a member of the UN, agreed and signed on to many charters and should act accordingly and within international law.But what would have been a fair and proportionate response from Israel?

It would have been as unfair as the actual response.But what would have been a fair and proportionate response from Israel?

This sort of rhetoric, these sorts of comparisons are childish.Israel's transformation into Germany in the 1930s is almost complete.
It's wild that anyone can watch what is unfolding and still belive that. Childlike naivite.A proportional response is what you do when you are signalling that you don't want to escalate, or that you are trying to deter.
Israel's goal is not deterrence against a threat from Hamas, it is removal of the threat from Hamas.
Yet accurate.These sorts of comparisons are childish.
The fact that the Israelis are apparently willing to sacrifice their own hostages to remove Hamas is quite telling.A proportional response is what you do when you are signalling that you don't want to escalate, or that you are trying to deter.
Israel's goal is not deterrence against a threat from Hamas, it is removal of the threat from Hamas.
We really don't need that type of nonsense. You can criticize and even heavily criticize Israel without making inflammatory references to the Holocaust.Israel's transformation into Germany in the 1930s is almost complete.
Their leader is calling Palestinians the children of darkness, he's making references to the Torah about how they have to kill all the women and children as well, they have a government full of racists who see the Palestinians as a blight to be purged, and last but not least, they're bombing the fecking shit out of a captive population that they keep in a ghetto and are denying even the basics.We really don't need that type of nonsense.

Probably gonna charge someone for that later or threaten to pull out unless 'someone' pays.It’s a rare sighting these days when Ol Elon is on the right side of something

If they leave, they won’t be able to return. This is a very tough situation for everyone.Egypt could have done more.
Maybe they shouldn't have done everything in their power to keep Hamas in charge then?I don't agree with what Israel is doing.
But of course understand why they need to get rid of Hamas.
Hamas is literally hiding behind its citizens and bunkered underneath the hospital.
Hamas has no regard for Palestinian or Israeli lives.
What should Israel do in this situation? They are damned either way.
You seem to take a less stout approach now, please continue with that.I don't agree with what Israel is doing.

Let's theorycraft a little bit here.I don't agree with what Israel is doing.

well no one has answered my question about what Israel should have done after 7/10.You seem to take a less stout approach now, please continue with that.
So lets turn the tables. You have been asking alot of people what Israel should have done in response to the Hamas attack. What do you think they should have done?
Can’t argue with any of thisTheir leader is calling Palestinians the children of darkness, he's making references to the Torah about how they have to kill all the women and children as well, they have a government full of racists who see the Palestinians as a blight to be purged, and last but not least, they're bombing the fecking shit out of a captive population that they keep in a ghetto and are denying even the basics.
And then there's the whole stealing land from the the other Palestinian population that they deny rights to and treat as second class citizens.
Do you think comparing that to Germany in the 1930s offensive? Okay. I find the fact that we have people in here going "this is all Hamas fault", is if Israel has no agency, disturbing. I find the fact that we have people arguing that Israel has to do this disgusting. I find the fact that we have people arguing that Israel is showing restraint mind-boggling.
Israel attacks turkey.Just words. Flat track bullies, may be they should attack Turkiye
You can't guarantee anything when you live in a neighbourhood of hostile countries that want you destroyedLet's theorycraft a little bit here.
Lets assume Israel are successful in 'destroying Hamas' whatever that means, lets forget the death count supposedly necessary to do that. What should Israel do going forward to ensure the 10.7 attacks never happen again?
