@fenderextender:
What constitutes 'terrorist machinery' now in any case? A school that has pupils who might go on to be terrorists? A hospital that houses people who might be angered enough by life-changing injuries to pick up a suicide vest?
And what about the hundreds of thousands of new recruits that Israeli actions have created? Kill them all?
Kill them all?
Err yes, haven't you been paying attention?

Crystal ball available for hire.
It is really hard to believe just low supporters of Israel are prepared to stoop. They really are shameless and lacking the most basic decency and humanity.
The Lancet found life expectancy in Gaza decreased by 34.9 years during the first 12 months of the war, about half (-46.3%) the prewar level of 75.5 years.
Ben Jamal, the director of the PSC, said: “As children in the Gaza Strip face the growing risk of starvation, illness and death, the suggestion by the head of UK Lawyers for Israel that they might benefit from weight loss is utterly sickening. These repulsive comments illustrate exactly what it means to be ‘for Israel’ and how low its apologists are prepared to sink in their attempts to justify genocide in Gaza.”
Presumably UK lawyers for Israel would argue that the Lancet is anti-semitic. And they have had remarkable success in the past with their racist claims that being supportive of Palestinians by definition means being anti-jewish. According to the article :
A complaint by UKLFI led Chelsea and Westminster hospital in London to remove a display of artwork by Palestinian children in 2023 after the group claimed that it made Jewish patients feel “vulnerable, harassed and victimised”.
Saw that posted a few days ago by Francesca Albanese 😡
Uk lawyers for utter genocidal ****s would be a more fitting description, they deserve everything coming their way for such bullshit
The scholar and writer Hamza Yusuf said on X that the outrage over everything depicted in The Settlers “says a lot about how well the media has shielded the public from the brutal reality of Israel’s occupation”.
As proud as I am of the film, I know that our documentary could never capture the full impact of what is unfolding in the West Bank. The reality of the displacement and harassment is often in interactions that are more extreme than those I saw.
Countries such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates — all of which Trump is visiting this week — are offering to invest hundreds of billions of dollars in the U.S., let their affiliated companies ink deals with Trump family businesses and purchase mind-boggling amounts of American weapons. On Tuesday, Saudi Arabia alone pledged to invest $600 billion in the U.S., including $142 billion in arms sales.
Israel, on the other hand, relies on billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars every year to help it buy weapons — and it must soon renegotiate a major deal involving that military aid. It is not a petrostate, a main reason it lacks the riches of the Gulf Arab countries. Israel also is mired in an expensive war in the Gaza Strip that has cost tens of thousands of lives and that Trump wants to see end.
This is just one reason why the apartheid regime's days are numbered, it is becoming less and less useful to the United States and it can only survive if propped up by the United States.
The IDF are now using advanced modern weapons to kill refugees in tents, not content with just starving them.
The only difference between the IDF and any other terrorist organisation is the sheer amount of weapons at the IDF's disposal
Yama Wolamsal interview with an utterly vile arrogant prick called Boaz Bismuth of Likud Party , he shows himself for exactly who they are.
I saw this today :
A kid threw a stone at me today (and missed) so I climbed into a fighter jet and blew up his entire street with an air-to-surface missile. I'm sure you will agree I acted in self-defence.
FFS
This isn't the result of a natural disaster, it the result of a deliberate government policy with clear and very easily predetermined consequences
Israeli society really is in an unprecedented crisis when the former IDF deputy chief of staff says :
Israel ‘killing babies as a hobby’ in Gaza
He is of course accused of "blood libel" anti-semitism, you would have thought that during his 38 years in the IDF someone might have noticed that he was an anti-Semite, and Netanyahu repeats the claim that the IDF is the most moral army in the world.
If you read the rhetoric of Israeli politicians with regards to the "heroic" IDF in that article it is the sort which you might associate with North Korea or Nazi Germany.
53,500 Palestinians dead vs 1,700 Israelis.
Self defence my arse.

That ^^ was in reference to something that was on a live feed, I notice that the headline has now changed. This is the story as covered by the Independent :

There’s just been a Tory MP (shadow minister and whip) Greg Smith - on the MPs panel on Five Live this morning and when asked about Gaza, his reply could have been written by Netenyahu himself.
He parroted the bullshit Israeli government lines in their entirely, in that Israel is simply defending itself against terrorists and is entirely justified in its present actions. That Hamas is stealing all aid, so aid should remain blocked. Apparently David Lammy’s (hopelessly belated) statement yesterday was endorsing terrorism. What Israel is doing is definitely not genocide or ethnic cleansing, it is merely self defence, according to him
I’d say it was unbelievable for someone, seeing what we’re seeing, to voice that opinion, but it’s entirely believable. In fact it’s totally unsurprising. The Tommy Robinsonisation of the Tory party continues at pace

Member of Conservative friends of Israel who support the settler movement..........he's bought/paid for by a zionist terrorist regime and has been on numerous "fact finding" missions/junkets/paid for holidays to explore the region, the Likud government and the settler movement deserves the same treatment we hold for groups such as isis.
I’d say it was unbelievable for someone, seeing what we’re seeing, to voice that opinion, but it’s entirely believable.
Well a couple of hours after Lammy's statement. another RAF recon plane left Akrotiri to fly over Gaza, so the collaboration continues uninterrupted. In that context the statements of the MP you mention are just saying the quiet part out loud.
As I've said elsewhere, Israel is nuclear armed, a US client and the US president is an asshole.
Everybody else's positioning is carefully calibrated to reach supposed breaking point just as the last Palestinian leaves Gaza - on foot or in a body bag.
What we have here is a genocide, plain and simple. Say what you like about the UN in the 90s/00s but at least the UN got around to bombing the Serbs by the time of the Kosovo conflict. No one is going to launch an airstrike against the IDF. So they'll carry on.
And, as is in very sharp focus right now, the UN is only the sum of its parts and it needs to contain the US. American troops get torn up in Mogadishu in the autumn of 1993, the US get scared of intervention - then along comes Rwanda. No US, no UN.

sorry for the tangent, but thats the third time ive heard that comment today, whats the basis for your info?
Ehud Olmert has just been on the radio yet again and he’s been on channel 4 news loads of times.
He seems to be the most outspoken critic of the present regime and totally despairing about where his country has arrived at with these far right, genocidal lunatics at the helm

Luke Lakehurst MP mentions the flights in this quote from a Parliament debate. It's from 18th March, but puts some context on the levels of activity.
In addition to the 400 the hon. Member mentions, we have seen close to 50,000 Palestinians killed, the majority of whom have been women and children. In addition to the manufacture and supply of F-35 parts, it appears that RAF Marham in Norfolk has been used at least seven times to send spare parts directly to Israel. Since declaring a so-called suspension of arms exports, the UK has issued 34 new licences, including those for essential aircraft components. I ask the Minister directly: which licences were suspended in September 2024, which licences remain suspended, and why have the Government refused to publish details of arms exports between July and September 2024?
Our military co-operation extends beyond arms sales; it is operational, especially when it comes to using our airbase in Akrotiri, Cyprus. In one year alone, from December 2023 to November 2024, the UK conducted 645 surveillance and recon missions, which amounts to almost two flights a day. Interestingly, during the same period, the US moved heavy transport aircraft carrying military equipment to Akrotiri, and the RAF subsequently conducted daily cargo flights from Akrotiri to Tel Aviv. We have been told that those flights were for surveillance and hostage rescue, but if that is the case, we must ask why we used RAF Atlas C1 aircraft, which are large enough to transport military vehicles and helicopters.
thanks both, will dig into that this evening as the IG link is blocked.
the accusation i heard on the radio earlier was along the lines that UK spy aircraft are being used to inform Isreal and enable their actions in Gaza.... somewhat different to the parliament quote suggesting that military 'parts' are being moved/sold from UK to Isreal (im not saying thats ok, or better, just different)
I read the logistics part of that quote as in addition, not the same flights. So from that text...
Arms supplies through F35
Recon surveillance flights
Logistics of US arms into Israel
All separate activities.

It's time to remove Netanyahu's genocidal government and hold every single IDF soldier culpable for war crimes, I don't care how it's done, hold every single supporter of this genocide to the same level that the Nazi's were held to

Absolutely this.
And the IDF cementing their reputation with the EU
It wasn't just EU diplomats that the IDF fired warning shots at, the visiting diplomats represented about 30 countries including Turkey, Canada, Egypt, the UK, and Jordan.
It is hard to believe that a country which is currently facing mounting international isolation due its relentless killing of innocent men, women, and children, and the growing global revulsion that its policy of deliberately starving children is causing, should do something so unbelievably dumb as firing warning shots at a diverse group of diplomats.
It seems almost as if Israel is determined by it's actions to secure the label of pariah state. I reckon that the primary explanation for this totally irrational and obviously self-damaging behaviour is that Israel is facing a vast and unprecedented crisis well beyond its control. It is in a state of absolute panic as Israeli society disintegrates from within and it faces an enemy it cannot defeat. Never in its entire existence has Israel's future looked less certain.
And as pointed out by Israeli historian Ilan Pappe when a brutal regime sees itself collapsing its behaviour is at its very worse.
Ilan Pappe explains it himself

I wouldn’t say it as “Israel”, more Netanyahu’s coalition government is desperate to secure the label of pariah state as he then stays in power blaming everything as antisemitism and can do whatever he likes, against whomever he likes. And the IDF have been carefully moulded to his advantage in this, they seem to treat it as a sick sport, just look at the tik-toks of IDF soldiers making jolly videos saying they’re going vermin hunting today and if it moves, it’s getting shot.
Any UK citizen who has volunteered for the IDF needs treated as a potential war criminal and should be subjected to the rule of law when they return to the uk.
Every single settler should be sanctioned, no excuses at all.

What a crock of shit…..

In an ideal world this would happen. But who is going to do that? If the US weren't led by a total horrible **** and backed the UN, it might be a possibility. But they are, and they don't.
Netanyahu isn't going to stop for the simple reason that no one is going to stop him.
Let's be clear about this. Netanyahu is going to ethnically cleanse Gaza. No Israeli is ever going to be in the dock at the Hague.
Nuclear armed states weren't ever supposed to act like this. But then, acceptable norms don't seem to be a thing any more. Not in UK politics, US politics or global events. Welcome to the world where being a total shit is acceptable.
Let's be clear about this. Netanyahu is going to ethnically cleanse Gaza. No Israeli is ever going to be in the dock at the Hague.
If that’s the case then I hope they are named, shamed and followed around or harassed wherever they go, or preferably sanctioned to the maximum extent
Let's be clear about this. Netanyahu is going to ethnically cleanse Gaza.
He isn't. Because firstly the Palestinians in Gaza have nowhere else to go to, neither Egypt nor Jordan will accept them, and secondly despite the IDF relentlessly killing them with everything at their disposal for the best part of two years there are still over two million Palestinians in Gaza.
Despite the Israelis now starving Palestinian babies in Gaza there is no feasible way to kill over 2 million people within a reasonable timeframe, it would take many years if not decades.
Ethically cleansing vast areas of Palestine during the Nakba in 1947 was reasonably easy because there were surrounding countries which the Palestinians trying to escape zionist terrorism could flee to, plus of course Gaza - that is why Gaza has the highest population density in the world, but conditions now in 2025 are very different.
Worth 3 mins of your time, not what you expect
The Israelis are very good at "hasbara" aren't they? And to be fair it is a skill which they have been honing for decades and which they pump a lot of money into.
All of which makes the latest incident of firing warning shots at a group of unarmed international diplomats even more ridiculous. And suggests that their actions are now increasingly driven by a sense of panic rather than careful strategy.
Eventually the Gazan Palestinians* will end up in Egypt. Just like they ended up in Lebanon 40-50 years ago. With the same enhanced regional instability in a more dangerous world.
*The ones who are still alive.
Edit: Not suggesting that it was Gazan Palestinians in the main that were pushed north into Lebanon.
Very apt post from sangita who was sacked from her position at LBC after a combative interview with an Israeli government gobshite, despite her show gaining the most new listeners.
James O’Brien (the acceptable choice of hand wringers) has repeatedly mentioned the absurd notion that “presenters have been pushed out/sacked” as conspiracy nonsense and on one occasion blamed sangita directly for not explaining why she left (she has a slapp/nda against her so can’t speak out) and he said she was let go for poor viewing figures (a lie, she increased the listening figures substantially for her weekend slot).
Sangita was replaced by the Zionist apologist gobshite that is known as Vanessa Feltz……..says it all.

And with reference to that bullshit outrage over kneecap….
Good article in the MEE by Jonathan Cook on the sudden condemnation of Israel by the Labour front bench
Slightly OT but mention of Sangita always reminds me of this beauty
According the the Israeli government the shooting of two Israeli staff in America is Keir Starmers fault due to his ‘blood libel’.
They seem oblivious to just how ridiculous they look, spouting this kind of bollocks, when everyone is watching their continued genocide on the news every night
Slightly OT but mention of Sangita always reminds me of this beauty
Thats brilliant, I’ve not seen that before.
And I do not miss the faux outrage nor the “I’m unsure about my stance on this subject, inform me” bullshit of James O’Brien
(I’ve purposely avoided all global broadcasts/podcasts)
And after watching that marsh family video on YouTube I read a few comments where it was mentioned that James (huffy) O’Brien had blocked them for this video, so I went to google and it appears he did……what a ****ing huffy prick 🤣

The Marsh Family have had a lot of fun in the last few years ripping the piss out of a lot of stupid situations.
Horrific reporting on the current situation at the Palestine Red Crescent Hospital in Khan Younis by plastic surgeon Dr Tom Potokar, he describes Gaza as a slaughterhouse.
He talks of operating on a young man with a missing left arm, his right leg was gone/missing hip joint, his left leg was so damaged and crawling with maggots that he was going to lose it below the knee amongst other blast injuries.
