Netenyahu was advised about the need to remain where he was.

Yes, I heard about that one – but how many times has Netenyahu been advised to remain where he was and no bombs have gone off anywhere?

hundreds of thousands of Middle Eastern Jews coming to tiny puny Israel

Yes after WWII. A very large number went to Israel from North African states that were still under European colonial rule. If I remember correctly over a third of a million. And millions more people were refugees, stateless, in Europe also.

Arabs from the area indulged in hatred, fanaticism, and anti-Jewish pogroms long before there was an Israel, disputed territories, etc.

How many Middle Eastern Jewish people were deported to death camps during WWII.

American Jewish groups must speak up over Gaza

I thought I’d do a bit of research, and it turns out that the most pro-Zionist UK political party is none other than the anti-Semitic BNP

The BNP and the ultra- Zionists hate Arabs/Muslims. They have a common enemy so it is logical that the BNP, for now, are pro-Zionist.

The old hatred updated

The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini, collaborated with Hitler before Israel was ever created

Lots of Germans did as well. And Italians. A few well known US industrialists including Bush’s grand daddy
also found doing business with the Nazi was profitable. I think some Zionists had leanings towards the Italian fascists. As did Churchill.

Israel and the white heat of justice

The Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories is illegal so Israel can’t really claim self-defence.

So what if Israel uses the internet?

to be fair though – Berchmans has condemned Hamas rocket attacks on several occasions

Berchmans has condemned Hamas rocket attacks repeatedly. Seth, it appears, hasn’t been paying attention.

Seth writes: “….your complete refusal to say a word of condemnation for any tactics – so long as theyre used to attack israelis…”

I would say also that laritournelle and hermine, and berchmans are some of the most thoughtful and compassionate posters on cif.

hysteria and vicious barbs -

At least there wasn’t a reference to the many headed mythical snake beastie.

Mahmoud Zahar has betrayed his people

Would you launch mortars form within your childrens school at an ATTACKING army?

There is no evidence this happened. You folk are getting really sick. Truly disgusting.

As its troops march in, again Israel looks to its military past

“Israel’s right to exist”

States do not have ‘rights’. I believe states are bound by international laws, treaties, and so on.

Europe must take the initiative

Israel has a clear and valid goal of stopping Hamas from firing cross border barrages of rockets

- the rockets stopped. During the truce. Which was broken by Israel at the beginning of November. So stopping the rockets isn’t really the goal of this brutal war is it.

Poisonous and Dangerous

You all seem to be Jewish so doubt this is preventing you from seeing the issue clearly. But get this, this is UK and British interests are not the same as Israeli ones. You would do well to consider loyalties to the country you live in with a bit more gratitude.
