chrisp65 Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Looks like both sides have bombed the moral high ground now. Do we still need to fly the Israeli flag from council buildings or has that passed now? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking advantage of the free speech regulations. I do think it’s disrespectful and you’d think some people would have more sense knowing the backlash from the Muslim community. By doing stuff like burning the Koran some innocent poor bastards are going to have to pay with their lives. It’s absolutely bonkers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnkarl Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 There is no moral high ground in this shitshow anymore. Israel dropping JDAMs on or near a hospital is a new low. It’s up there with Putin bombing a theatre full of children with the word children plastered all over the roof. The consequences of this will lead to suffering on an unprecedented scale for years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been speculated about the reasons behind the burnings in Sweden. All 3 guys have been said to possibly be working for Russia which I guess is possible. The Iraqi guy could also be doing it in an attempt to make himself impossible to deport back to Iraq as now he will be facing torture or worse there so we can't deport him. The Danish guy is a far right wing white supremacist who want's to cause exactly the response he was getting with riots and terrorism. And the 3rd guy who I think is a Swedish far right wing guy is the most likely one to be on the take from Russia. They all knew very much what they were doing thou and what the response would be.

chrisp65 Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Tricky isn’t it, on the one hand why do something so pointless that is so sensitive to people and so likely to result in innocent third parties being hurt. On the other, it’s just a paper book, £4 on Amazon. People need to get over themselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least 500 killed and hundreds more trapped under the debris according reports (take them for what you will) Apparently it was the last Christian hospital in the region as well. 800 casualties and counting. Horrible situation right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamas HQ is under Al Shifa hospital in Gaza, so if the IAF was going to target a hospital it would be that one, not the Al Ahly hospital. Edited October 18, 2023 by blandy Twit screenshot removed.

Hit righti in the centre too, so I doubt it was destined for another target. If true people should start dropping those Israel flags. Indiscriminately bombing children and anyone fleeing on the designated “safe route” probably worse than a cancer hospital in the league table of abominations isn’t it 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted October 17, 2023 Moderator Share Posted October 17, 2023 if it's a Hamas rocket, it's a bigger rocket than they've ever had before - I guess they could have gotten something through from Iran, but then a bigger, more sophisticated rocket would be a lot less likely to fall short wouldn't it? I'm not buying it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just doesn't add up - if 33% of these rockets fall short, then Hamas have landed hundreds in Gaza over the past week - does it seem likely only one of those has hit a target that makes the news, or that the only one of those that has the power to do this sort of damage has ended up hitting this target quite so accurately?
