@John Smith: Israel is the exact reverse of an apartheid state, such as the old South Africa. All citizens (Jewish, Arab, Christian etc) of Israel have exactly the same rights. Compare that to Hamas in Gaza where opponents are murdered, women have no rights, and LGBT people are beheaded and thrown from buildings.

@Pat Hazzard: “I’ve seen children shot twice by snipers in Gaza.”

“No toddler gets shot twice by mistake by the world’s best sniper.”

“I’ve seen shredded children”

“All the disaster zones combined don’t equal the level of carnage I saw in Gaza.”

Dr Perlmutter

@Pat Hazzard: The same Hamas that Israel backed to weaken the Palestinian Authority?

@A F: Hamas regularly murder their own civilians, they are a cult of evil.

@Pat Hazzard: You’re a cult yourself, Pat.

@Pat Hazzard: and Netanyahu pat….he’s a cult that murders children

@John Smith: No such thing as genocide in Gaza. It’s a war. Hamas is the one putting civilians at risk, not Israel.

@Alex: A one sided war, where Israel keeps accidentally killing civilians, accidentally destroying the infrastructure, accidentally hitting hospitals, accidentally hitting refugee camps, accidentally hitting UN schools where civilians are sheltering and accidentally killing journalists.
If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it is a duck!
The ICJ will eventually find them guilty but it will be too late for the innocent civilians who have been butchered by the genocidal state of Israel.

@Pat Hazzard: well that’s a blatant lie.

@John Smith: sure the natives can come to Europe for colonial reversal

@John Smith: So Israël is the only one who has to do a clean war without civilians casualties that’s what you are saying?
Because genocide is the deliberate will of eliminating a specific ethnic group, which isn’t the case here. Cope harder terrorist apologist.

@Alex: Israel has an obligation to minimise civilian casualties, that’s not what they are doing.
And yes, they are deliberately targeting civilians, which makes this a genocide.
Where did I write anything about apologising for terrorism? Are you referring to my support of the civilian and indigenous population of Palestine?
Cope harder genocide apologist.

@Pad: Catholic Church systematically repressed the Irish people, covered up the abuse of children and opposed every single reform to give women equal rights. An evil institution that is dying.

@Pad: it doesn’t forbid it, you can consume alcohol in a hotel or bar!

@Pad: you are not forbidden from drinking alcohol in Dubai, although consumption is restricted – you need a licence to buy take out, but it is freely available in lots of hotels, restaurants and bars

@Johnny King: Non of the Muslim women I worked with in the past considered themselves in any way subservient!

@Johnny King: no it’s not. You’ve just made a sweeping statement about the religion of over a billion people. You my friend are uneducated and misinformed.

@Sean O’Dhubhghaill: Tell us that you have never been to the Middle East without telling us. I worked and visited most countries in the Middle East. Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, UAE, Qatar, Saudi, Egypt. I can tell you that the only place where women were actually free was the only country which wasn’t a muslim majority and didn’t use the sharia. Only rencently women can drive in Saudi for example. Women can’t do much without the approval of men. Giving birth outside mariage will get you stoned to death in most of those places. Islam is backward and went back to the middle ages the last 60 years, that’s a fact. Like any sect, it should be banned.
