Hamas attack Israel & subsequent genocide

[Truthsayer]

The total annialation and/or displacement of the population of Palestine was always the plan. Is very disturbing how US/UK and the entire 'west' has supported this while our media gives it a nod of justification. Jesus! Was more outrage in Australia about a fucing baby wombat being lifted from it's mother.

The entire West has not supported the total annialation and/or displacement of the population of Palestine.
The "West" is an increasingly diverse concept, the Norwegian approach to this issue is not the same as that of the US.

America lapdogs which is in effect at military beck and call of Israel.. Irish government are no better.

I am not sure that the ceasefire will be ended. It is backed by Trump. Netanyahu was forced into it.

Hate to say I told you so, but...

I read some time ago that any time Israel has been an offensive in Gaza which co-incided with the inauguration of a US President, they have always ceased the assualt, temporarily, for the inauguration and for a short term after it, before resuming their slaughter. This is history repeating itself.

Over 300 people murdered overnight by the War Criminal Governnent of Israel as they prove they're not interested in peace talks.

It was always going to  be this way. Call a ceasefire, but  make outrageous demands knowing they'll never be  achieved. Then, it's ah well, you had your chance. Back to the bombing so, and it's  all your fault

Israel blatantly broke the ceasefire. Hamas has upheld it.

They blatantly do whatever they want whenever they want and it never ever matters

Not sure this time. I wonder how Europe will react. Netanyahu has banned food being delivered and is murdering children because Israel has Trump's backing. Europe is anti Trump. Netanyahu broke the ceasefire.

You have said this before. I hope you are right but I very much doubt it.

It's easy to blame the Israelis as much they're a bunch of psychotic scumbags, but they are facilitated by the west. The UK is patently complicit along with the EU & US.

Full text of Mahmoud Khalil's statement as dictated to his lawyers.

"My name is Mahmoud Khalil and I am a political prisoner. I am writing to you from a detention facility in Louisiana where I wake to cold mornings and spend long days bearing witness to the quiet injustices underway against a great many people precluded from the protections of the law.

Who has the right to have rights? It is certainly not the humans crowded into the cells here. It isn't the Senegalese man I met who has been deprived of his liberty for a year, his legal situation in limbo and his family an ocean away. It isn't the 21-year-old detainee I met, who stepped foot in this country at age nine, only to be deported without so much as a hearing.
Justice escapes the contours of this nation's immigration facilities.

On March 8, I was taken by DHS agents who refused to provide a warrant, and accosted my wife and me as we returned from dinner. By now, the footage of that night has been made public. Before I knew what was happening, agents handcuffed and forced me into an unmarked car. At that moment, my only concern was for Noor's safety. I had no idea if she would be taken too, since the agents had threatened to arrest her for not leaving my side. DHS would not tell me anything for hours — I did not know the cause of my arrest or if I was facing immediate deportation. At 26 Federal Plaza, I slept on the cold floor. In the early morning hours, agents transported me to another facility in Elizabeth, New Jersey. There, I slept on the ground and was refused a blanket despite my request.

My arrest was a direct consequence of exercising my right to free speech as I advocated for a free Palestine and an end to the genocide in Gaza, which resumed in full force Monday night. With January's ceasefire now broken, parents in Gaza are once again cradling too-small shrouds, and families are forced to weigh starvation and displacement against bombs. It is our moral imperative to persist in the struggle for their complete freedom.

I was born in a Palestinian refugee camp in Syria to a family which has been displaced from their land since the 1948 Nakba. I spent my youth in proximity to yet distant from my homeland. But being Palestinian is an experience that transcends borders. I see in my circumstances similarities to Israel's use of administrative detention — imprisonment without trial or charge — to strip Palestinians of their rights. I think of our friend Omar Khatib, who was incarcerated without charge or trial by Israel as he returned home from travel. I think of Gaza hospital director and pediatrician Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, who was taken captive by the Israeli military on December 27 and remains in an Israeli torture camp today.

For Palestinians, imprisonment without due process is commonplace.

I have always believed that my duty is not only to liberate myself from the oppressor, but also to liberate my oppressors from their hatred and fear. My unjust detention is indicative of the anti-Palestinian racism that both the Biden and Trump administrations have demonstrated over the past 16 months as the U.S. has continued to supply Israel with weapons to kill Palestinians and prevented international intervention. For decades, anti-Palestinian racism has driven efforts to expand U.S. laws and practices that are used to violently repress Palestinians, Arab Americans, and other communities. That is precisely why I am being targeted.

While I await legal decisions that hold the futures of my wife and child in the balance, those who enabled my targeting remain comfortably at Columbia University. Presidents Shafik, Armstrong, and Dean Yarhi-Milo laid the groundwork for the U.S. government to target me by arbitrarily disciplining pro-Palestinian students and allowing viral doxing — based on racism and disinformation—to go unchecked.

Columbia targeted me for my activism, creating a new authoritarian disciplinary office to bypass due process and silence students criticizing Israel. Columbia surrendered to federal pressure by disclosing student records to Congress and yielding to the Trump administration's latest threats. My arrest, the expulsion or suspension of at least 22 Columbia students — some stripped of their B.A. degrees just weeks before graduation — and the expulsion of SWC President Grant Miner on the eve of contract negotiations, are clear examples.

If anything, my detention is a testament to the strength of the student movement in shifting public opinion toward Palestinian liberation. Students have long been at the forefront of change — leading the charge against the Vietnam War, standing on the frontlines of the Civil Rights Movement, and driving the struggle against apartheid in South Africa. Today, too, even if the public has yet to fully grasp it, it is students who steer us toward truth and justice.
The Trump administration is targeting me as part of a broader strategy to suppress dissent. Visa-holders, green-card carriers, and citizens alike will all be targeted for their political beliefs. In the weeks ahead, students, advocates, and elected officials must unite to defend the right to protest for Palestine.

At stake are not just our voices, but the fundamental civil liberties of all.

Knowing fully that this moment transcends my individual circumstances, I hope nonetheless to be free to witness the birth of my first-born child."

A flight carrying 150kg of replenishments for Israel's bombing of Gaza illegally passed through Irish airspace this morning – hours after Israel killed more than 400 people.
Last week government 'distanced itself' from plans to inspect these planes.

First time I quit a studio literally in search of oxygen, surprised to debate on what "the IDF says" or  what "The American Jewish Committee thinks" IN IRELAND!
My friends: Israel has killed 20,000 children in 16months. NO EU gvt has cut ties with Israel yet, including Ireland. This is what we must discuss.

sadly they will get away with it. Nobody will stand up to them

Looks like a lot of the Gazan people are fed up with Hamas. Not surprising.

Looks like a lot of the Gazan people are fed up with Hamas. Not surprising.

probably more fed up with 18 months of genocide from Israel. it is very few people so far and probably those who support fatah ans never supported Hamas  but even still impossible to know as even in protesting they are risking their life's from Israeli attack.

a fairly moderate summary here,

other Palestinians would have very different opinions for/against such protests.
