According to the testimonies, Israeli quadcopter drones opened fire on Palestinians who had gathered to receive flour brought by UN trucks. Fifty Palestinians were killed and dozens more were injured during the incident. Testimonies gathered by Euro-Med Monitor indicate that dozens of residents gathered on Al-Rashid Street, which had been devastated by Israeli bulldozers in recent weeks, awaiting the arrival of the trucks carrying flour. The quadcopter drones arrived suddenly, however, and started shooting at the residents.
Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor’s leadership routinely posts antisemitic and pro-Hamas content online.
The chairman of Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor’s Board is none other than Richard Falk—the former UN Special Rapporteur on Palestine who has hailed Hamas’ “spirit of resistance,” justified Palestinian violence, and claimed that Hamas aims for “long-term peaceful co-existence.” While he was Special Rapporteur, Falk was at the center of multiple controversies that led to continuous calls for his resignation by the U.S., UK, Canada, Australia, and others. According to the U.S. State Department, this was because of his “despicable and deeply offensive comments, particularly his anti-Semitic blog postings, his endorsement of 9/11 conspiracy theories, and his deplorable statements with regard to the terrorist attacks in Boston.” Falk had first called the Boston bombing a false flag and then justified it as a form of “resistance” that was “bound” to result from U.S. “military undertakings.” Even Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon had to come out several times to publicly denounce Falk’s statements. Falk’s antisemitism has even gotten him fired from a Human Rights Watch committee.

No, Israel cannot do about anything they want. And actually, they don't.I agree, Hamas is really bad, so Israel can do just about anything they want with impunity.

I am sure they would like to negotiate. But there is no partner to negotiate with at the moment. So they cant.

But keep up gaslighting, fighting windmills and justifying the unjustifiable. It doesn't bring much to the discussion but it's at least entertaining.
Sure.I am sure they would like to negotiate. But there is no partner to negotiate with at the moment. So they cant.
Doesnt change anything on the validity of the statement.
Congratulations you just brought home the gold in mental gymnastics.

Oh, I can type. The thing is that your posts are so disingenuous and disconnected from the reality that they generally don't warrant more than an emoji.So you can type, not just post emojis. How nice. I am happy that you find this topic entertaining. It says a lot about you.

A full on ethnic cleansing without (some) push back from allies.
Giggsy PO is an interesting one. I know people who are very pro Palestine. People who are very pro Israel and who's argument is that Palestinians should be punished and are quite explicit in this viewpoint. People who don't care. People who are distraught at the whole situation.
They are basically the only person who is still parotting the line that they're against civilian casualties but this is all inevitable and Israel are actually trying to be restrained in their response.
I suspect their actual viewpoint, especially considering the people they've posted, is the pro punishment view, but just isn't quite brave enough to explicitly say so. At least fearless was explicit in their views.

Yep, that's what I found interesting about that comment — it suggested that Israel wanted for something even more brutal to happen than what's been happening. Which is a weird thing to say if you're so obviously pro-Israeli.A full on ethnic cleansing without (some) push back from allies.
But turns out the only thing that they can't do (but desperately yearn for) is negotiate. As can be easily deduced from the words of the head of their National Security CouncilNo, Israel cannot do about anything they want. And actually, they don't.

Calm down @DamienDo you want me to do an average word count per comment on you two?
I mean how do you negotiate with people in power who historically have boasted about destroying the prospect of Palestinian statehood, believe all the land should be homogenised into Israeli territory, and continue to ramp up illegal settlement activity in occupied territories? Right now the only thing they're willing to negotiate on is which countries will take on the Palestinians they're wanting to ethnically cleanse.I am sure they would like to negotiate. But there is no partner to negotiate with at the moment. So they cant.
