Hamas attack Israel & subsequent genocide

Netanyahu in 2019:

 "Those who want to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state should support the strengthening of Hamas, and the transfer of money to Hamas," Netanyahu said in March 2019. "This is part of our strategy, to differentiate between the Palestinians in Gaza and the Palestinians in Judea and Samaria [i.e., the West Bank]." Whoops.

Israeli PM's office has confirmed that Israel declined to accept two Israeli hostages from Hamas, stating that they will not address what is considered to be "mendacious propaganda" by the group.

And then today they accidentally bombed a piece of Egypt. I don't think they have blamed Hamas yet, this one was just a "mistake"

Brown people=bad is about the height of his reasoning

[Milltown Row2]

I don't think from the reports I've read that they have blamed anyone but themselves?

Maybe you could post something that says different?

Cosgraves saying all the right things but has now realised the folly of his actions and can't actually from this point forward, make a difference in ensuring (within his job role at the time) of restricting job opportunities in Israel, probably increased businesses in those areas now..

Like I said earlier he's probably sorted in life so can say what he wants

This article does have one point, if Hamas will send out people to go around houses killing people then it quite capable of lying. However, other evidence cannot be ignored.

What Miltown replies

Am I missing something?

You were implying that the reports from Israel would change by blaming hamas at some point, and that wasn't the case!

When you start to look for made up stuff you will look silly.

Seems very easy for you, so carry on.

But keep remembering, I'm on the Palestinians side, but I'll pull you on makey up stuff

[Milltown Row2]

I didn't imply anything. I know you were a poor effort of a teacher but do you not have a basic grasp of the English yet. I did however imply it wasn't a mistake.

You've no idea of my teaching skills by the way.

But your comprehension skills well not inspire the next generation

Just go to bed

[Milltown Row2]

Israeli Ambassador claims President is 'misinformed'

By Fergal O'Brien
The Israeli Ambassador to Ireland has accused President Michael D Higgins of making misinformed comments after he accused Israel of breaking international law.

During a visit to Rome earlier this week, President Higgins addressed the conflict between Israel and Hamas on a number of occasions when speaking to reporters.

He said it was important to retain and insist on the veracity and cogency of international law.

Mr Higgins said: "To announce in advance that you will break international law and to do so on an innocent population, it reduces all the code that was there from second world war on protection of civilians and it reduces it to tatters."

In an interview with the Sunday Independent, Israel's Ambassador to Ireland claimed the President was misinformed in his remarks.

Dana Erlich, who last month presented her credentials to President Higgins, said she is "concerned about spreading misinformation".

"Israel is abiding by international law," she said.


A spokesperson for Michael D Higgins said the President's comments "related to the breach of international law that attacking civilians as collective punishment represents".

"The President has condemned all of the outrages and killings that have taken place and said that in responding to all of this it is important that international law is observed," the spokesperson said.

In a statement, the spokesperson said the President has "expressed his revulsion at the killing of civilians by Hamas, called for the immediate release of all hostages taken and has been clear that we must be absolutely unequivocal about anti-Semitic expression."

In the newspaper interview, the Israeli Ambassador also questioned Ireland's neutrality.

Ms Erlich said "there is a strong feeling in Israel that there is an unconscious bias against Israel in Ireland."


A pro-Israel rally took place outside the Israeli embassy in Dublin following the attack on Israel by Hamas on 7 October
'Standing up for all'

The Minister for the Environment and Green Party leader Eamon Ryan rejected the claim that Ireland is not neutral, saying Ireland is standing up for all innocent people affected by the conflict.

Speaking on RTÉ's The Week in Politics, Mr Ryan said it is simply not true to say because Ireland has sympathy for Israeli victims means we cannot also have sympathy for Palestinian victims.

Mr Ryan said Ireland "absolutely condemns Hamas" and has full sympathy for the "the history of Israelis".

However, he added that "that doesn't mean you don't also stand up for the Palestinian people".

Mr Ryan said "the bombing of civilians in Gaza is not going to achieve anything other than strife" in the region, and that Ireland is sympathetic to anyone caught up in the conflict.

Labour Party leader Ivan Bacik said the Israeli Ambassador's position "is now under question" after what she described as "outrageous" criticism of President Higgins' Gaza comments.

On The Week in Politics, Ms Bacik defended Mr Higgins and said "he did have a right" to raise the issue.

"The President has said nothing more than what [Government] has been saying," she said.

Ms Bacik continued that in her view the Israeli ambassador "has overstepped the line, I think it [the Israeli ambassador's comment] was outrageous".

"She accused him of breaking the law, of saying something that was untrue, and I think her position is now under question," the Labour leader added.

The Israeli ambassador is a mirror image of itchy. Unless you are 100% with them, then you are not neutral, there is no room for looking at any other side.

I see itchy totally lost himself last night, not for the first time. He's deleted all of his posts thankfully to mitigate his embarrassment. Hope all is okay.
