Trump

Lol,the punctuation ICE squad ..The sum total as you put it is in your head,it was followed up by a concise explanation.
FMD,I have explained it to you 3 times now,you seem overly sensitive,did you have overly critical teachers or parents as a child or get picked on?
I read the article and responded to your point that people would blame the Israeli's,you do realise that was what you posed?
Self edit done here by me.
So you disagree that people will blame Israel.

On what grounds? Do you have some kind of precedent that supports your statement?

Because from where I'm standing Israel and the Jewish community are being blamed for everything by a lot of people, even the atrocities that started this whole war are Israel's fault. Al Jazeera is the main source of HAMAS propaganda and the many lies (mixed with some truth) has worked really well thus far. The hatred towards the Jewish community is almost unprecedented. But not according to you.

@Adz claims people won't blame Israel before going on his "tangerine twerp" rant. Decent humans would hope for peace, not sit there waiting for it to crumble in order to get more anti Trump ammunition.

It's pathetic!
 
You are incapable of calling out Hamas aren't you?
Hi Cliffy, just as a bit of a counterexample,

Say Hamas posted a clip of Israeli forces driving tanks over Palestinian civilians (think Tiananmen Square) and that it was later found to be a fabricated clip. A pro-Israeli poster then replies saying “hey, this clip is actually not credible”.

Applied to this scenario, your stance was that the pro-Israeli poster should have still called out Israel on an event that was found to not transpire.

First of all, was that your stance originally or were you just venting a little at manlyfan76? If the former, do you still stand by that initial stance in the equivalent scenario above?

Out of respect for people on here who may have family caught up in this, I'm going to pass on providing any further opinion on the whole HAMAS/Israel situation.

I do want to delve into this topic at another point, but can I first just get a sense of how you feel Jews in particular are being blamed - as opposed to the policies and tangible actions of the Israeli state and the broader Zionist settler movement

For now, let’s just assume it is true that Palestinians exist under apartheid. A scenario where the Israeli state does seek colonialist expansion and in the process commits war crimes against civilians, encourages illegal settlements, withholds food/water, etc.

In that scenario even if 99% of Al Jazeera’s content happened to be truthful, your argument is still applicable. They could be perceived as pro-Hamas simply because they criticise the state of Israel and try raise awareness of Palestinian struggles. FYI this is just an observation, it is not to say Al Jazeera content is or isn’t as you claim.

I was thinking more that some people would feel it was tending to lead a bit off topic from the Trump thread. If we put it back down for a bit that’s fine (ie. disregard the post I made a few minutes after)

Note: I personally think it is all highly relevant. Particularly given people are quick to praise Trump’s foreign diplomatic efforts. There is a problematic opinion of late that just because Trump said there is peace that this conflict is solved. This is far from the truth.

The US did similar in 1993 following the Oslo Accords. It is step 0. The US cannot step away now after re-assuming the position of mediator. If they do, it will be no different to the way Britain and the UN neglected the region in the 1940’s both before and after Zionist leaders declared Israel’s independence. At the time it was the (colonial) British Mandate for Palestine.
