Europe (and the USA) should have told Putin within 3 days of his entering Ukraine that he had 48 hours to turn around or they would all be coming into the fight. The only way to beat a bully is by standing up to him. Then they took months to give Ukraine what was needed; always enought to keep the fight going on, but not enough for them to win. After all, it’s good for the armaments business, no?
As for Palestine, Europe has already caused ONE Holocaust. Now by backing Hamas instead of Israel – they are going to create another, then cry crocodile tears. The MEDIA are to blame here.There are 1.5 Billion Mulsims in the world and only 16 Million Jews; The Media need viewers and readers to survive. 1.5 Billion Muslims provide more potential viewers and readers than 16 Million Jews, so OF COURSE they promote the Palestinian narrative even if it is basically lies. Example: The Media constantly talks about Israeli “genocide” of the Palestinians.Journalists should know the MEANING of words, no? Genocide of the Jews is what the Grand Mufti was sreeking when he met Hitler in 1942.. Genocide is when Hamas’s Charter calls for the complete destruction of Israel and the death of Jews everywhere. Israel’s killing of Palestinians is NOT from intent. They did NOT START the war; they would stop in two minutes if the hostages were released and Hamas surrendered. Collateral damage is NOT “genocide”. The collateral damage is Hamas’ fault because they COUNT ON high civilian deaths for their propaganda so they use theri own people as shields. Meanwhile the Media keep telling us the death toll using figures which come directly from Hamas and are possibly bogus.Without pointing out that we are never told how many of the dead are really Hamas combatants – VALID targets. All this to make theworld assume that the dead are ONLY civilians. Reality: about HALF are combatants.This is not “genocide” it is manipuulation by the Media, intent increasing their Bottom Line!
I can hardly believe you are so inhumane that you think protesting the murder of 30,000 Palestinians (half of whom are children) has to do with building circulation. You are so stuck in your prejudices that you don’t see an apartheid state when it is staring you in the face. The Settlers have turned Israel into a fascist state. This is sad, but not antisemitism, to point out.
I see a lot of yammering about 30,000 casualties and how they’re all civilians. Let’s do a bit analysis here from the military intelligence perspective. Hamas had 24 battalions at the beginning of this war. The IDF has destroyed 20 of those battalions to date. Now each of those battalions consists of about 1000 combat troop plus around 300 auxiliary support personnel for a total 26,000 troops. See where we are going here regarding that 30,000 casualty claim. A blind man could roll those numbers and see that most of the claimed casualties are not civilians but Hamas terrorists. In fact the Intel services of the USA, Britain, France, Israel and other countries place the actual number of civilian casualties at about 2 to 3 thousand. Lawrence and others in these forums are lying when they claim like half of that 30,000 figure are children. The actual number of casualties is between 25,000 and 27,000, again with most of them being Hamas terrorists.
