Israeli soldiers' "cold blooded murder" of Gaza's civilians

[Nodin]

Then I say, you're not aware of the Jewish narrative, .

'narratives', you mean. Please don't try to claim that the "settlers" and the Israeli right are the best or only representatives of Jews and Judaism.

Right I'm going to take action on this. I'm reporting every single post of his I see from this point on for trolling. He absolutely destroys any chance of reasonable debate regards Israel and Palestine.

I fundametally disagree. I think that the likes of this clown and the other embassy staff that so frequently appear here shows up the emptyness of their argument. Remember when Marc Soper was Irish ambassador, he pretended to be a tolerant parton of the Arts. But HQ back in Tel Aviv saw a chance in him: non-american accent but excellent english, good in debates, and guess what, the 'arts patron' is now happily justifying the mass murder of children. We in Ireland need to do what we can to embarass this rogue state to engage in a sane way with it's neighbours while the Yanks still pay their way, otherwise the consequences will be even worse for the ME.

That's great except he just ruins every single thread he posts in.

Well in one sense maybe. In another, isn't he ideal for exposing the colonialist menality that keeps pushing settlement construction?

"Cold blooded murder" of innocent civilians whose lives were "very, very less important than the lives of our soldiers” - these are some of the matter-of-fact admittances to massacre that have emerged from Israeli soldiers who fought in the recent bloody Gaza war.

Testimonies from unnamed soldiers, published today in Ha'aretz, describe the slaughter of innocent civilians, all at the behest of commanders.

One soldier described "the cold blooded murder" of an elderly woman, who was shot dead as she walked across a road. Another told how a sniper shot a woman and her two children as they stumbled, under Israeli orders, from their home.


Ha'aretz reported: Testimony about wanton destruction of property was also given: The Israeli army, who initially denied the existence of the transcripts, has said it will investigate.

It is refreshing that Israel as a society can confront attrocities committed during a conflict.

The same honesty and concern for human life would be unfathomable in the Arab world.

Some parts of Israeli society can.

And whatever about the stance of Arab Governments, their people feel too, you know.

I'm sure you are correct on both points.

Oh yeah, I am now absolutely positive that him and his ilk are the scum of the Earth, but I'd like to move on from this realization and just discuss what can be done with that little sh*t of a nation and it's neighbours, and the whole fecking region which currently is a sorry excuse for a civilization.

It's hard for a lowlife like cheal to internalize the small fact that settlements are legal under international law.

In fact the right of Jews to settle anywhere in the Land of Israel was specified in the mandate given to Britain back in the 1920's. The Jews have more right to settle in Judea, Samaria and the Gaza strip that the Spaniards have to Ceuta and Melille settlements, the British to Gibraltar and Falkland settlements, the Americans to Alaska or any of their territory and the Australians to theirs.

The truth is hard to digest, especially when it contradicts one's false perception.
