Hamas attack Israel & subsequent genocide

[johnnycool]

Other Arab nations ought to be helping Gaza citizens especially Egypt. The fact that they aren't says it all.
 

Egypt is run by it's Army and who funds them?

Read up on how the Islamic Brotherhood won the Arab Spring elections in Egypt only for the Army to stage a coup.

Follow the money.

Really disappointed but not surprised to see BBC NI GMU give free rein to an Israeli Colonel this morning to describe events in the most emotional terms with little or no challenge from Tara Mills. They did try balance with a Palestinian living in Belfast, Joel Taggart to be fair was better at challenging his evasion whilst allowing him to make his points about Israeli war crimes. Hamas have a lot to answer for but so do the IDF.

Didn't hear that particular interview but to be fair to the BBC I think their coverage has been quite good.  Victoria Derbyshire sitting in for Kuenssberg yesterday completely filleted that charlatan David Lammy.  He basically admitted he wouldn't criticise Israel as he wanted to be the next Foreign Minister in the UK.

One thing this crisis has shown is that Twitter is not a place to go to for news, discussion or any sort of nuance!

Gates closed the Egyptian side, would say alot about their backing of Palestine state long term. Possible beneficial to them of Gaza was over run.

Gaza was established by the Egyptian army in 1948 as a safe zone for all of the Palestinian farmers of what is now Southern Israel who were ethnically cleansed by the Zionists and became refugees. The Gaza Strip was not on the Egyptian side of the border for strategic reasons. The Egyptians did not want any hassle like bombs launched from Egypt into Israel. Egypt managed Gaza from 1948 until 1967 when Israel for some really f**king stupid reason decided to occupy it and take all the refugees onto its balance sheet.

The gates are closed because Egypt does not trust Israel . The fear is that Israel will attempt to clear Gaza of people if they seek shelter in Egypt. Egypt has enough problems already with poverty .Nobody is going to absorb 2 m Gazans to suit Israel.

They don't give the slightest f**k. Never have and never will.

Care to tell us why? Its hardly to do with the proxy US friendly governments in many of them?

Sammy made absolutely no distinction between Hamas and Palestinians, and got a round of "Here here's" for his speech fronts.  Terrible stuff in Parliament.

War is a lucrative business for some, ably financed by the US tax payer as "aid"

BBC - Earlier we reported on some of the pro-Palestinian demonstrations at the weekend.We spoke about "several demonstrations across Britain during which people voiced their backing for Hamas".
We accept this was poorly phrased and was a misleading description of the demonstrations

poorly phrased!!
