Freedom fighting??

Recommended Posts

Dozens of British supporters of Israel do serve in the Israeli army. They don’t necessarily gravitate to being war criminals. This may not be what an Arab would say – and it is certainly not what Israelis would suggest. But there is plenty of evidence – from 1982 in Lebanon, from 1996 in Qana, from 2008-9 in Gaza and again in Gaza these past two weeks – that individual Israeli soldiers and pilots have committed acts which, under international law, are war crimes.

 

The co-director of the Israeli veterans’ movement , Yehuda Shaul, who spoke at a meeting in Tel Aviv a couple of weeks ago about the brutalising effect of occupying other people’s lands. Mass arrests, the liquidation of even a suspicious “silhouette”, families paralysed with fear during searches. “You adapt to it all,” Shaul said. “The first time, you’re in a state of shock, the second time, a bit less, and at the end of the week, you do it quite naturally.” It sounds as if Shaul is talking about being radicalized. Isn’t that what we say about certain other young British citizens with weapons who head off to the Middle East to fight in Syria and Iraq??

 

Muhammad Ali Khalidi, Philosophy Professor at York University in Toronto, points out, intentionally striking civilians in order to accomplish political ends is “the dictionary definition of terrorism”. After all, isn’t that what Hamas also does?

 

Let us hope and pray that no UK citizens have been involved in such terrible deeds. But it wouldn’t be a bad idea, would it, if the lads in blue had a friendly word with them when they arrive back at Heathrow – and insist on knowing exactly what they were up to when they wore another country’s uniform.

What are you attempting to actually say in your usual round the houses not saying a lot fashion?

Thanks for the example of how when information is provided without a simplistic one sided point of view it is incomprehensible to most people, who like others to provide them with a set viewpoint they can go support or go against.

 

Brainwashed Britain where the ignorami tribal groups need to be told what to think, as its obviously hurts their brains to work it out themselves!

We are indeed blessed. But then again he seems to gain pleasure talking about people being killed for sport so we aren't that blessed.

Less rhetoric and a whole load more evidence would be useful.

 

How about a link to what constitutes a "war crime".

A little bit one sided, and do you actually have any proof to support your statements??

 

I mean like actual proof, not just flippant statements.

Funny that, because hamas are classing themselves as freedom fighters. Do we actually need another thread on this drivelish whinging?
