quilp Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 What's the leader of hamas saying today? ''We are eager for death!'', and what amounts to ''No surrender'!'' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shake me up Judy Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) As I think Sam Harris said in the blog a few pages ago; there is perhaps a sense in which 'we're all Israelis now' and Hamas and all it stands for must be defeated. It's important not just for Israel and its neighbours, but for the whole West, whose complacency and collective guilt has informed its thinking for far too long. I'm tired of hearing the half-witted argument from the brainwashed left that the biggest enemy to peace in the region is and has been Tony Blair. I talk to people all the time who really believe that. Edited July 30, 2014 by Shake me up Judy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolley Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Good post SMUJ except for the last sentence about Tony Blair. A more self-righteous, self-deluded individual would be difficult to find. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donald Trumps Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 "A more self-righteous, self-deluded individual would be difficult to find." There's one or two on here surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at least none of them have inveigled themselves into the grand position of World peace envoy to the Middle East. Clearly he has something. I wonder what it is.

Tarne Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) It really does surprise me how many people still leap to Hamas's defence, and I really don't understand why. Just right now on my Twitter feed, there is "Baby was saved and in incubator, but has now just died because there was no power to the hospital" or something to that effectIt does beggar belief. I kinda wish the Israeli's were this BIG BAD EVIL that people think they are... Edited July 30, 2014 by Tarne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alibaba Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I don't think it's people leaping to the defense of Hamas, everyone knows that they are total fruitcakes, it's the leaping to the defense of the kids who are being slaughtered, and the total idiocy of the mass bombardment. 'They're using kids as human shields' say the Israelis, so we'll kill the kids to get to the terrorists. Fucks sake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.K. Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Sam Harris on Why I don't Criticize Israel. Interesting, thought provoking! Excellent article, reflects my own sentiments entirely.... Nothing in there that the better-informed haven't known for years..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reality is that the Israelis have done their level best to avoid injuring such civilians as there appear to be but faced with attacks what are the Israelis to do? Just stand and be shot at? I don't think so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
