Israel/Palestine (Conflict to more Conflicts)

[Bodhi]

I'd have thought the best thing about being a Zionist @Bodhi is that it's currently the only politically correct form of outright racism that's not only allowed, but encouraged and financially supported in the UK.

Tell me you've never been to Israel without telling me etc etc.

For instance I've sat in a meeting with one of our customers talking to an IT team made up of both Israelis and Arabs and they got on famously. We had dinner with them afterwards and that continued, so I'm not sure where your accusation of racism comes from - other than ignorance from swallowing Hamas propaganda wholesale.

THe next morning a Palestinian taxi driver took me to the airport and spent most of the time telling me about how he spent the weekend with his Jewish neighbour and their family.
So again, your accusation of racism doesn't seem to fit with the reality I observed when I actually visited Israel. Maybe your experience there was different?

Sure is incredible that Israel has killed 50,000 members of Hamas, that has to be some kind of % record.

I've already stated why multiple times @Bodhi. Zionism is inheriently racist. It's why Israel is lobbying so hard to get governments to adopt the IHRA definition of antisemitism - because it says that being anti-zionist is antisemitic.

It's a perverse, supremacist wankstain of an ideology that has led directly to what we're seeing in Israel right now.

As for this:

Tell me you've never been to Israel without telling me etc etc.

Tell me you've never been a politician without telling me you understand democracy eh?

Zionism is an idea. You don't have to go to Israel to understand what an idea is. Whether I've got friends who lived on a Kibbutz* (and I do) or not is immaterial to whether I can understand the ideology.



*and they can see it for the racist supremacist ideology that it is too. And are also friends with Arabs. But they can see it, because they're not knuckle-dragging idiots.

A hugely technically advanced and liberal society getting a bit fed up with people continuously lobbing rockets at them and taking their citizens hostage you mean?

"A bit fed up" 😆

50,000 killed, men, women and children, not just as collateral damage, but targeting people queuing for aid, shooting children. It's a genocide, and not at all explained as "defense"

Israel is a terrorist state, and should be treated in the same way as Syria, or Afghanistan.

You mean, an oppressive racist apartheid society have continuously provoked a section of the indidgenous population that we helped shuft off their historical land on the pretext of religious texts, and are using their (initially gifted) advanced technology to massacre sections of the non-jewish population that they've herded into walled concentration camps and denied basic levels of water and power - with the overall objective of wiping them off the face of the map?

Yeah them. I'd be lobbing rockets too. As would you.
