Well let's see, tactics over the years with various conflicts or wars have used indiscriminate bombs to create fear..

Doesn't mean it will impact change from the aggressors, in fact might have the opposite

You don't need to wait and see, Russia has been hitting civilians targets intentionally for over 2 years now. Including double tap strikes to kill first responders and those coming to help the wounded.

Ukraine hasn't adopted their 'strategy' and they aren't going to. In fact, every time Ukraine hits a high value Russian military target such as an airfield or ship watch out for the next shopping mall or marketplace packed with civilians to get obliterated. They think they can break the will of the Ukrainian civilian population, they are wrong.

Since some on this board seem to be in doubt, deliberate Russian targeting of civilians continues, as it has done since Feb 2022. The slaughter continues, as in Kharkiv yesterday:

Russia, Israel - zero difference, two blood soaked fascist regimes.

There is some difference, one of the regimes is supported and funded by Western countries, many of whom are our allies. The other is despised by these same countries. Another difference is that media in the West attempts to give balance/equivalence to Israel v Palestine but makes no attempt to do the same in Russia v Ukraine.

Well first of all, the Ukrainian government isn't a regime, it's the democratically elected government of Ukraine. I suppose Israel isn't technically a 'regime' either but it's most definitely blood-soaked and fascist in nature. 

It is right that Ukraine is supported by other countries in their fight against Russian aggression. By the way the civilian slaughter in Ukraine would be many, many times greater if it wasn't for western supply of air defences to shoot down Russian missiles and Iranian drones.

Also, support given to Ukraine doesn't alter the nature of Russia's deliberate and indiscriminate attacks on civilians. See Syria, Georgia and Chechnya also. Just like Israel in Gaza, deliberate murder.

The media doesn't attempt to make a balance/equivalence between Ukraine and Russia because there is none.

I agree with you that it's unfair and hypocritical to equate Palestine with Israel in their fight against aggression. I agree with you it's shameful that western countries supply Israel with weapons and that Israel hasn't been sanctioned and kicked out of all sporting and international events (like SA was back in the day).

You misread my post. Regime 1 = Israel, Regime 2 = Russia.

Ah, yes I took it up wrong, I thought you were referencing Ukraine and Russia.

Very significant win as it now brings Celtic level with Rangers as regards major trophies won with both now standing on 118 and Rangers no longer able to boast that they're the most successful club in Scotland

Or the world lol.

This incident also comes to mind:

With 'friends' like Israel who needs enemies.

Regardless of the match what a fantastic way to end the season with another trophy. It was a difficult season but we came through in the end.

Hopefully we continue to build over the summer.

Big day today - am feeling confident after the last two derbys but the fact I'm feeling confident makes me nervous lol.

Pure unadulterated hate, it just happened to transfer from the non-whites to a woman there... Vile

I'd say it there was dole parity with the North, this would sort alot of this out

Garda need to start recording these incidents and scoop these scumbags up later.

It really doesn't make good reading lads.

There wasn't armed resistance by Palestinians over the last 75 years? Really?

I've edited the post to be clearer.

There was armed resistance for most of the 75 years would be closer to the mark. As is their right as a country under occupation.

There wasn't armed resistance by Palestinians over the last 75 years? Really?

Let's all live in a world where we don't consider any possibility of intelligence agencies infiltrating opposition groups. 

Who are you addressing that to?

Dyou know that Netenyahu funded Hamas so as to divide Palestinian allegiance in Gaza and the west bank? The PA were moving towards peace at that time and Israel didn't want it. They've never wanted a "partner for peace"

Can we not all agree that Zionism is the  problem. Heartless and evil cnuts

Israel funding Hamas is well known and if anything it proves MRs point. Hamas violence suits Israel's agenda.

I've always felt that armed resistence was heroic and unfortunately necessary and why it is enshrined in int law..... bad faith

You called the Hamas attack of Oct 7th a heroic action and attempted to justify it when pressed.....extremely bad faith.

International law justifies it, I support that armed resistence is allowed. resistence against occupation is heroic. palestinans are a heroic people who for 75 has resisted their occupier armed by some of the world's most powerful countries.

you made this comment -

I've said Israel are criminals and committing genocide

, should I read into that that every single Israeli is a criminal and committing genocide... if I did it would be bad faith as more than likely you mean those who actively or passively support there actions, not all Israelis or all actions... bad faith

Israel - the state of Israel as represented by their government

Yet more waffle as you try..and fail, to twist and turn your way back out of what you said. Heroic actions, on Oct 7th.

so I made the comment, know what I meant by the comments, explained in more detail at the time what I meant, have explained on at least one other occasion what I meant, explained again today what I meant but you think you know better... catch yourself on (think that was directed at whitey early but fitting here too.)

It's clear as day. You made the comment of 'heroic action' on the day of the massacre and attempted to justify it later.

I'm sure you must have felt heroic yourself being Uber pro-Palestinian when all the quislings and closet Zionists were asking questions about the morality of murdering unarmed men women and children.
