Terrorists in nappies

So you were opposed to the October 7th invasion of Israel then? We must have missed that thread you started on it.

It's more than fair, that many folk are commenting on the ongoing atrocities in Palestine.
 
Weren’t really headline news were they - shocking and appalling people around the world (except for a few forumites). Stop covering for the chief *** hater.
 
Depends on the news channel you watch for the kind of headlines you see.
I'm not covering for anyone - and unless you can find a post by anyone using anti-semitic language then you can't really keep using such slurs, can you.

What is not especially visible on Israeli television is the unrelenting horror of Palestinian suffering in Gaza, where more than twenty-three thousand people have been killed in three months, and an estimated 1.9 million have been displaced. Only rarely do Israelis see what the rest of the world sees: the corpses of Palestinian children wrapped in sheets by a mass grave; widespread hunger and disease; schools and houses, apartment blocks and mosques, reduced to rubble...Gaza is a presence on Israeli television mainly through the dispatches of reporters embedded with the I.D.F. And they tend to emphasize the experience of Israeli soldiers—their missions, their clashes with Hamas fighters, the search for hostages, the crisp pronouncements of generals and officials helicoptering in from Jerusalem.

“You do see Gaza on TV, but not enough,” Ilana Dayan, the longtime host of “Uvda” (“Fact”), a kind of Israeli “60 Minutes.” Dayan, who has aired countless reports critical of the Israeli government and military, allowed that a patriotic tone has overtaken much of what appears on the air. “And when I come home and I say, ‘We have to know more,’ it’s hard for them to care. We know our audiences are impatient with any kind of deviation from the mainstream. We interview people about October 7th - we are stuck on October 7th - and, after those atrocities, we too often, understandably, lack the empathy to see what is happening on the other side of the border. As an Israeli, I felt so, too. As a reporter, I feel that we have to tell Israelis about the price being paid in Gaza.”

You have to forgive mottie, as he is extremely infantile...

He still doesn't understand that someone can criticise the actions of the Israeli state without it being anti semitic :rolleyes:

You said they weren't headline news. Many were.

I don't care about your fueds with JohnD or Ellal or whoever you've decided to hound this week. They're boring.
