I guess we're putting peace in the middle east on hold for another decade or two.

Well if you can find anyone in the west wing who could make the argument for supporting Ukraine against the illegal invasion and genocide by Russia and somehow explain how the Israeli invasion and genocide in Palestine, are somehow two different things, and Palestinians are somehow the ones in the wrong in their situation and Israeli actions are justified….

A Siege Broken
Hamas launches an unprecedented operation against Israel, breaking through the border wall that blockades the Gaza Strip and taking control of Israeli settlements.

This want an attack out if the blue. Israel bombs and kills Palestinians on the daily.
To provoke a response and the response is portrayed as a terrorist attack.

In order for this asshole to go on tv and be a demented fuckin evil bastard

Netanyahu has just adressed the Israeli nation.

"We will take revenge for this black day. We will turn all the places where Hamas hides into ruins. The Israeli army will use all its power. Residents of Gaza, leave from there immediately."



This is the point. Bomb the Palestinian people out of existence. Without making any distinction between Palestinians and hammas.

Dime, if you are feeling ok about what has happened today, go look at the videos of what Hamas is doing and ask yourself if this is really the team you want to be on. Then over the next few weeks watch as the videos of the retaliatory strikes roll in and ask yourself if it was worth it. We love you either way, but there is some real soul searching to do here.

I wouldn't characterize what Dime said as siding with Hamas.

You can be anti-israel without being pro-Hamas.

Not anywhere near the side of Hamas. They’re evil cunts holding ordinary Palestinians hostage just as much as Israel.
The part you’re missing is Israel has killed 230 Palestinians in the last 12 months alone. 12 people killed by IDF in July *in a refugee camp*
Where’s that outrage all over the media? That’s just one year, it’s constant. Every year.
And he’s telling them to leave? He knows they can’t.
They live in open air prisons and can’t get out to go anywhere.
And so the genocide will continue as this sick fuck will order strikes that will kill untold amounts of innocent people. They’ve already turned off water and electricity to each region.
Itself a violation of international law and collective punishment.


I’d ask you how people are so selectively blind to the whole situation and only choose to read as far as the headline and not find out what’s going on in total.

Just to add, anyone calling this attack ‘unprovoked’ really hasn’t been paying attention, hasn’t the first clue about the murder and slaughter carried out daily by Israel, or, supports it.

If you ever needed to understand Irelands empathy and support for Palestine, this is a pretty much perfect potted history. The same cunts (Balfour, Churchill) the same tactics and deployed and carried out with the same brutality in Ireland as in Palestine.

who is the current obstacle to the 2-state solution?

the economic situation in Gaza doesn’t sound conducive to stability

If you’re going to reduce it to headcounts, that’s a tiny fraction of how many innocent Palestinians have been killed by IDF not even in a decade.

Fair point dime, but slaughtering 260 people at a music festival isn’t the answer
