Did you not state that “ethnic cleansing” was not occurring in Gaza and that because Israeli leadership talks about it, that it’s not the same as carrying it out, as well as making a comparison to “war is hell” and “Hamas started it?”mrussel1 said:I have no idea what you're saying to me.

So you post an article that backs up what I said. Right wing politicians may want it, but it's not currently happening. And the military knows it's impossible.Halifax2TheMax said:

You should then take a look at my posts in the Meanwhile in Israel thread as well as read through the ICC complaint filed by South Africa and to which Israel has claimed they’ll respond to. Documented Israeli military actions taken in Gaza and the West Bank, that in the view of South Africa, amount to war crimes and an attempt at ethnic cleansing. Take a look and let me know if its just a matter of “war is hell.”mrussel1 said:

Knowing “it’s not possible” doesn’t mean they’re not trying, and, do you really think they’d openly admit that it’s happening? Actions, sometimes and often, speak louder than words.
What has been happening in Gaza and the West Bank since 1967 is disgusting and since 2000, abhorrent.

Israel is wrong. Hamas is wrong.
Israel is a recognized state and a UN member. Hamas is a terrorist organization. And yes, Hamas is condemned by the South African complaint, as they should be. However, the actions of Hamas don’t justify nor excuse Israel’s response nor behaviour for two decades plus. You can differentiate between the two, yes?

Bidendo not forget settlement expansion, which has been driving this thing for a couple of decades. if israel keeps expanding settlements, which is against international law by the way, there will never, ever be peace. why do you think the hardliners want palestinians out of gaza?"You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln
