Re: Israel what is next???
Anyone watch the news last night, the families of the hostages asking members of the Knesset for a cease fire to enable the hostages to be released?
Those from the Ultra wing government ranted at those family members there will never be a cease fire. There was one rather large guy a member of the Ultra right wing government!!! the way he acted!!!! just like a lunatic.
They interviewed some other ring winger and asked her to explain why over the years Israel has been building new settlements in the West Bank. Because we can, those Palestinians who have been removed can appeal the decision in the courts, but they never do, why have they not been doing so? They know they will never win.
Israel will not rest until they have removed the last Palestinian from the West Bank and Gaza,That is until they no longer have the USA backing them.
The Jewish lobby in USA and other EU Parliaments will continue to turn a blind eye.
Say something that sounds anti semitic in Hollywood as an actor good luck in getting a job again.

I wonder if they mean the swap of women and children both sides hold? because I haven't seen in the media any reference to Israel taking any hostages. Prisoners from past assaults on Israel yes, but not women and children.
Johnny.
Israel said that they will release 150 women and I think about twenty children.
That is according to our SBS which is fairly impartial.

Re: Israel what is next???
Yes DEs, very good news station, not biased like the ABC.
USA will continue to support Israel as long as there is something in it for them, but the time will come when some new president will say enough.
Way back a guy by the name of 'Yas sir Are I fat, lead the PLO, then in 1987 HAMAS took over.
The people of Gaza voted for them, no doubt told as is always the case with any political party, we will fix it for you.
For a short while things were quiet, then it began culminating in the current situation.
But who is fighting who?
The arms for both came from the same sources, making them as guilty as both sides in the war.
But as has been said this goes back to the time of the old testament the only difference the bows and arrows are not a lot stronger.


Happy daze John in Oz.

It pains me to have to say this, but I think Israel will be wiped out before much longer. Israel is not only up against a genocidal next door neighbour, but almost the entire International community as well.
The cease fire will give hamas the chance to regroup, re arm and plan another atrocity. Palestinians are not victims, they are genocidal, murderous sub-humans.
Israel has given much to the world in scientific, technological and medical innovations; what has ***** given us?

Your 'guilt' equivalence is quite wrong. Israel only attacks in retaliation, Hamas attacks through a genocidal hatred of Jews.

It goes back 1400 years, not to the Old Testament which is thousands of years old. The 'religion of peace' dates from the 7th century only.

Re: Israel what is next???
The difference between the Nazis and Hamas is that Hamas actually glorifies death, they love death more than life. How do you deal with an enemy that has no fear of death.

Re: Israel what is next???
The 'Palestinians' are not interested in acquiring Israeli land, they are motivated by a visceral centuries long hatred of Jews.

Re: Israel what is next???
#256, So the state of Israel is not removing Palestians from there homes and building new settlements then ? The Palestinians are just expected to suck it up and quietly bend the knee and move aside. A certain idiot USA president in recognising Jerusalem as the captial of Israel as good as light the match that started the fire we have raging in that region.

Re: Israel what is next???
Israel builds houses on its own land, not in Gaza, and the international community calls them 'settlements.' The 'palestinians' are largely a very unpleasant people, more than 80% support hamas and we know what hamas likes to do to Jews, don't we? Hamas dragged the corpse of a raped and slaughtered Jewish girl into the street and the 'palestinian people mocked her body and spat on her. If anyone thinks that is okay, they are sick. The certain 'idiot USA president' was the best US president since Ronald Reagan. Why should the capital of Israel NOT be in Jerusalem?

Re: Israel what is next???
Ah !!! The United nations and the international community do not recognise the West Bank as being part of Israel.
The Palestinian territories are the two regions of the former British Mandate for Palestine that have been occupied by Israel since the Six-Day War of 1967, namely the West Bank (including East Jerusalem) and the Gaza Strip. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has referred to the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, as "the Occupied Palestinian.
Have you actually any experience of living or working with Palestinians?
You are condeming a people because of the actions of the few. Yes the raping and the killing of Jewish girl was barbaric. One would hope that those responsible for that Barbaric act will be caught and punished accordingly
Israel builds houses on its own land, no doubt but the west bank and Gaza are Israeli occupied lands.
Have I got this right are you saying that Trump has been the best US president since Reagan. If that was true wht did he not get re elected ?

(1) Yes, not recommended
(2) I think there were more than a few, and don't forget the people elected Hamas
(3) It wasn't only one girl on 7th October, 1400 plus lost their lives in barbaric methods on that day, do you actually think that an individual(s) will be caught for such a vile act(s)
I know you like to stir, but making excuses for what happened is beyond the pale
