Hamas attack Israel & subsequent genocide

[DaleCooper]

I would guess the jury trials being scrapped is related to Palestine action and anyone defying the present rulers of the western world.

"In a number of similar cases, activists who have disarmed weapons systems have been acquitted by juries because their actions were aimed at preventing war crimes. Although laws around such a defence have been tightened, juries can still acquit on the basis of jury nullification, where an acquittal is determined to be in the interests of justice as a matter of conscience"

Nothing happened until Israel got involved straight from Israel...

After the last 2 years (and it continues daily and for the past 75 years before Oct 7th) of the Israelis dehumanising Palestinans, straving them, murdering them, ethnic cleansing them, a live streamed genocide they lecture Ireland and the likes of benny agrees with it. Chaim Herzog did similar to Palestinans... shameful, patheic, i really dont have the vocab to describe those who suppost israeli zionists and fake anti semtic claims..

How about you grow up. I dont support nonsense like park name changes or hoisting flags over Belfast City Hall because it's performative nonsense. The genocide is a totally separate issue, but you all know that here yet still act like children.

No one is asking you to support it, but some people who play football in park decided to seek a name change.. Nothing unusual about that. they didn't seek attention for doing it, the attention game from the zionists.

you also smeared them with false anti semitism claims and have repeated it without any evidence just conjecture. a tactic used to silent many of Israeli critics.

Some Palestines support the name change as do some Jews so its not nonsense, it had broad support. Solidary with a people abandoned by the western government isn't nonsense.

You said if done 5 years ago it might be OK (paraphrasing) so it's a timing issue really. if it's the right thing to do, which it is, then the name should be changed.

keep going to the name calling well..abhorrent is false anti semitism claims.

[Milltown Row2]

Timing? Should not have been done in the first place.. Complete own goal

Funny you mention tactics to silence critics, that is Gaaboard 101 tactic for this thread. Everyone is a Zionist or an apologist for something or other.

Ah you're wrong on this one. 0 reason we should have a park in Dublin named after this fella.

[Rossfan]

Wasn't he was born in Belfast and fecked off to Palestine ending up President of Israel?
If a Park needs to be named after a Jewish person with Dublin connections how about former Lord Mayor Briscoe?

change.org has a petition for that, if you feel strongly about it.

It's as performative as the ladies in Dunnes stores refusing to sell Apartheid South African produce.

Israel is losing the culture war, they know it and are doing their best to suppress dissent for their genocide.

We're seeing a lot of articles in UK papers accusing Ireland of antisemitism.

Why would genocidal Israel give two shiny shítes what a small island in West of Europe care  considering they have the  US government in the palm of their hand?

OTD in 2012 the siege of the Palestinian refugee camp of Yarmouk began. Assad forces, backed by Russia, cut off all food and used starvation as a weapon.


How Yarmouk refugee camp became the worst place in Syria
The Guardian

Can you answer me how things are better for Syrians with the CIA trained, former ISIS 2nd in command, former FBI most wanted, now US backed leader Jolani in charge?

It's a genuine question. No doubt Assad was evil and a dictator but the same people aghast at him don't seem to be as bothered by a depraved ISIS extremist now ruling the roost who has

The world is a funny place I suppose. So many contradictions.

Syria is not trendy, Palestine is trendy, Gaza deaths matter, Syrian don't

Though you can add in the continuous daily murders and genocide's throughout Africa..

I believe you misunderstand the point.

Syrian deaths mattered when they had a Russian aligned madman dictator in charge but they no longer matter to those same people now some US backed ISIS fanatic has taken charge and agreed to be a Western puppet.

Generally you will find those most vocal on Ukraine aren't that bothered about Gaza. I find that the most incredible of contradictions. There is no parallel to the suffering the Palestinians have to endure with what Ukrainians have had to. It's not close, it is not comparable but some people believe the media outlets who tell them it was Hamas who bombed a hospital 2 years ago and talked about babies being raped and incinerated in ovens by Palestinians.

Your Piers Morgans of this world are very heavily compromised. Yeah we have posters parroting that complete propaganda and hypocrisy on this forum which I find chilling and scarey. Thankfully they are a minority in the population but worryingly it is the mindset of centre right neo liberal politicians who run governments. Amoral people who are bought and paid for.

In that picture of pure human horror are tens of thousands of starving Palestinian refugees  who had previously fled from Israel's oppression, who built their residential and business 'enclave' in Syria starting out from tents. The host dictator backed by Russia, financially and militarily, laid a vicious siege (a total blockade along with bombing the place to bits) in order to starve out the refugees on this week in 2012. It is incomprehensible to me  that a claimed Palestinian supporter who evidently has no knowledge of this genocidal act and instead ignorantly spouts Kremlin propaganda about al-Julani and doesn't know the difference between ISIS and al- Qaeda. al-Julani was aligned with al-Qaeda until 2016, never mind being CIA trained.That's pure and simple hogwash peddled to gullible muppets by a spurned and humiliated  Kremlin who exclaimed 'CIA coup' 'CIA coup' 'CIA coup'.
Ironic perhaps that al-Julani himself and his family were refugees from Israeli aggression when forced to flee from their Golan Heights homeland.

And then we had an earlier comment on this atrocity enacted against this long established sophisticated Palestinian refugee society, who blamed Israel for forcing the Palestinians out from their homeland in the first place and not the host terrorist nation who did the vicious deeds.

[PadraicHenryPearse]

The Palestinians are not all of a uniformed opinions even in Gaza and the West Bank.

I am pretty clueless on Syria, despite efforts to read up on it, so many different factions and name/side changes to alliances etc.

Palestinians fought on both side of the civil war, previously they were treated better than other Palestinians refugees in other Arab states. What happened in Yarmouk was awful, they didn't need to be Palestinans for it to be considered awful. Multiple atrocities were carried out during that war and continue today, thankfully to a lessor extent.

However if granted the international legal right of return, they would not have been in Syria but the West doesn't  care.

The hypocrisy and propaganda you spew is insane.

To decry the Jolani is not Western backed defeats you of any credibility here. He went from an ISIS leader and on the FBI most wanted list to being an accepted leader by the western world. You can't and won't explain how that happened. ISIS second in command now welcomed as leader of Syria by the West. How? Why? Try answering that rather than repeating your genocidal rhetoric.

You have zero credibility here. Zero.
