What's your take on the recent stories involving Israel and Gaza that have been dominating the news?
I for one am appalled at Israel's behaviour. Don't they realise that these are HUMANITARIAN ships, trying to help out the Palestinians who are severely lacking in the most basic of goods due to Israel and Egypt's blockade of the Strip.
The aid ship's are in no way interested in helping terrorists in Gaza, and that's what the Israeli government seem to believe. Intercepting them, and bringing them to Israeli ports for inspection is utterly ridiculous. They are not war ships! The banning of cement from getting in to Gaza because it's a so called weapon is laughable.
The murder of innocent humanitarians was the straw that broke the camel's back, so to speak. Now the whole world can see that the Israeli's are nothing but cold-hearted, murdering bastards.
If we don't help the people of Palestine, who else will? Certainly not Israel OR Egypt. World-wide comdemnation of the Israeli state has been long overdue.

It sickens me really... They, the israeli's afterward force the activists into Israel for some sort of tribunal and later charge them with illegal entry. They continually deny humanitarian aid for unheard reasons and end up attacking them and killing some in the process. why? because of the activists' malicious and dangerous approach. Honestly, what a pathetic arguement.
This is just another crime in what is a series of outrageous acts and stunts pulled off by the Israeli government whom continue to abuse palestinians without no stop. It's an absolute shame no decisive actions have been taken and with allies like the United States i wouldn't expect any anytime soon although God yes, condemnation is long overdue.
shame on Israel

The hypocricy of the Israeli's is unbelievable. They board the humanitarian vessels in INTERNATIONAL waters, an act of piacy, then claim that they're taking it to an Israeli port to be checked, and from there the aid and the activists on board could proceed to Gaza. This is a lie, as they dock the ship, don't allow the vast majority of aid in to the Strip, then swiftly deport the activists.

Pathetic as right. The activists had a right to fend off the Israeli pirates as their vessel was in International waters. The Israeli pirates then opened fire, killing nine innocent people. The post-mortems said a total of 30 bullets had been found in their bodies. What an absolute disgrace.

Their good links with Turkey, one of their closest Muslim allies, are as good as severed now. Their murderous act of piracy will come back to haunt them 100-fold, believe me. Israel is and will continue to be the most shameful nation World-wide, as long as the blockade of Gaza continues.
I say we bomb the cunts.
:ninja: I agree.

I'm not even sure what to say...I resent Israel anyway. But, one must bear in mind, there's always two sides to every story, so I can't see the Palestinians being completely innocent in all these conflicts, albeit nobody's doubting that anyway nor is that an excuse to attack humanitarian forces.

The Palestinians are by in large innocent. However, the Hamas regime that took control of the Palestinian Government in 2007 have strong links in terrorism, and have carried out a number of terror attacks on Israel, arguably for understandable reasons as Israel treat the people of Gaza like dirt, for example, stealing Palestinian land by pushing the barrier inwards, and building houses etc on PALESTINIAN land just to gloat.
The Gaza War in 2009 was a disgrace. Although provoked by Hamas as they launched rockets into southern Israeli cities, the Israeli reaction was WAY over the top. In total, 13 Israelis and approximately 1,400 Palestinians were killed in the 22-day war. Shame on Israel, as the majority of the murdered Palestinians were innocent civilians, and a lot were defenceless kids. :(

I fully agree with you, and yes, I did mean the Hamas, and it is not right the Palestinians have to suffer for their misdoings.

You are probably right, but Israel's recent doings has left a "World v Isreal" scenario. :)

In fairness though, there's only so much shit you can take. That's why Hamas seized control, as the Palestinians are angry at the years of mis-treatment from the Israelis. They feel the need to fight back, as the blockade has turned the Gaza Strip in to hell on Earth!
I've no love for Israel but to even claim that the Palestinians are largely innocent is laughable. Neither side is anywhere near innocent and its blatantly obvious that media outlets are all biased one way or another.
Its the same with the North Korea-South Korea situation.

So the Palestinians can start something but should expect Israel to only do damage of equal measure? That's rubbish.

well I think we all can agree that Israel's restrictions on goods coming into Palestine is pretty heavy handed in itself and is exacerbating the problem.
It's a never-ending story.....and I blame England for this! Why didn't you just give them Belgium or Iceland instead of a piece of land surrounded by justifiably angry Muslim countries!
It's also not beneficial if you appoint Avigdor Lieberman as your Foreign Affairs minister. He loves Arabs.

I agree with Zero. That's the problem, the blockade imposed by Israel. That's why Hamas started the bombing because of the atrocious treatment of the Gaza Strip as soon as Hamas took over, before a bomb was even launched in anger.
Come on Sweey, killing 1,400 Palestinians in almost three weeks is not justifiable. Could be argued that it was the Israeli's who started the war, by imposing such a stringent blockade in 2007.

In that vein, it could be argued that it was the Palestinians who started it long before then.
I just think you've completely swallowed the media bias to be coming out with some of the things you are. This isn't about the numbers, its about who should have what. In the given instance alone ignoring what went before it, if country A attacks country B, who are you or I to say how far country B should go in retaliation? We have no vested interest in either country, we're people sticking our noses in when we should mind our own fucking business.
The attitude of Britain, the United States and a number of other countries sickens me and that too goes for the Korean situation. We need to pay attention but to constantly get involved and 'help' one side or the other shows just how much we're desperate to be liked and have control of everything as though we're right and other countries cannot govern themselves.
Look, to make a long story short, the Brits backed by the UN allowed a bunch of bloodthirsty European and American Zionists, back in the 30s-40s, to assault Palestine. Now tell me who's at fault here.

It goes back too far to ever be sorted out fully. Both sides feel like they are in the right and deserve the land. And both sides would have an argument for it.
The Israelis are clearly being cunts though, attacking an aid ship is way out of line. Does anybody know how they backed up their theory for cement being dangerous toward them at all? Would love to know how something as basic as that can be considered as not being aid and justify attacking the ship over.
The alliance and friendship side of things between Israel and the US has probably created this scenario. They feel they can get away with virtually anything because they have the most powerful nation standing over them. Kind of like having an older brother in school so you can do/say what you like to other kids.
I can kind of agree with you Sweey about that Hamas and Israel thing. I wouldn't go as far as you though. I think they went a bit too far in their retaliation to it, but I don't think it should have been a tit for tat sort of thing either where they can only do back what was done to them. I think the way in which they went about it was wrong, and the number of innocent fatalities was really too high.
They claim they'd use the cement to build bunkers. :lol:
Gaza is now a "terrorist" breeding ground, which i'm sure is what they want, so they can have an excuse to go in there and finally root them out. Cunts.
Zionists are evil. Period.
Israel is not a Jewish state, it's a Zionist stronghold. I've heard loads of Rabbis saying that it is a sin to live there. According to their scriptures, they were exiled and have no right to live in the promised land.
Go look what the group called Jews United Against Zionism have to say on the matter.

Nobody is innocent in the whole affair, except perhaps Papua New Guinea. That said, the media coverage is atrocious. The whole affair is a disgrace and all parties should really consider how irrational and pathetic their religions are to condone and warrant this behaviour. All this suffering over glorified cults.
This is not about religion to those that were living there before those Ashkenazi cunts showed up.

Israel have committed crimes far worse (killing hundreds of children and women) than this and have left unpunished. What makes you think this will be any different?
Boarding a ship on international waters with commandos armed with sub machine guns against aid workers. Heh. Fucking ridiculous.
But when the USA bends over for you, I guess anything is possible. Cunts.
In that vein, it could be argued that it was the Palestinians who started it long before then.

Wow. What do you consider a country? PEOPLE are suffering, if anyone has the power to prevent it surely they should. I know The Britain and the US could stop it so the fact that its going on shows this conflict is of benefit to those in power in some way.
If Britain and the USA interfere, it's basically a PR nightmare for all involved, regardless of good intentions.
