When the crowd chants 'ceasefire now', this is why some governments remain 'deaf'
When the crowd chants 'ceasefire now', this is why some governments remain 'deaf'
Global Palestinian solidarity demonstrations are getting bigger, but whether taking to the streets will make a difference to government policy is up for debate, writes Riley Stuart.
You're viewing a single thread.
This article essentially says "These protests are unlikely to change government agendas because governments currently don't support a ceasefire." it doesn't explain why this is the case.
That point is neither enlightening nor interesting.
This article does a horrible job of explaining it.
Russia-adjacent countries have a strong incentive to support Israel if they want to purchase missile defense systems. Finland signed a deal earlier this week. Many countries around the world use Israeli-made/designed military systems, and they don't want to jeopardize their continued access to those systems.
The other factor is non-public intelligence - tack this sentence before every IDF tweet: "We have shared intelligence with our allies and are making a tiny bit public:"
Or they support Israel against terrorism because that's the moral thing to do
There is no moral war, stop spouting nonsense.
So countries like Vietnam did not have a moral ground to fight against their french, american or chinese invaders?
I'd be careful with blanket statements.
No, there is no moral war.
Wars are fought for things not ideals.
Should Hitler have been allowed to complete his final solution?
Should Ukraine just give up 20% of their nation?
Not moral, and also not actually about any of those causes but actually about economic capture.
Again not a moral war, Russia wanted land and former ussr bases not to eradicate Nazis.
I agree that’s what Russia wanted, but I don’t find it immoral for Ukraine to defend itself from a war of aggression
It's not immoral to defend yourself, that isn't however why the war started.
Fair enough
Wow bro are you glorifying Hamas right now?
Are you fucking dumb?
Well you said the defender has the right to defend themselves against occupation. While what Hamas did Oct 7 was completely within the international laws, it was still a bit rude.
Correct.
No shit.
What's your point.
no but there are strategically needed war. Lets take France.
During 7th October attack France saw 30 of her citizens murdered, tortured and raped directly by the HAMAS and there are still french hostage in Gaza. I want to note this is an act of war France could perfectly respond to with the full might of its armament. This happen in spite of the tens if millions of euros they send each year to Gaza in humanitarian aid and their political condemnation of Israeli colonization. France suffered a terrorist attack motivated by an international Jihad partly supported by HAMAS around the same date. On the wider spectrum, France as a large Christian population who regularly send loads of pilgrims in Israel and Palestine, therefore the HAMAS is indeed a very real threat to french security.
So yeah France is not going to blame Israel for destroying the HAMAS However France has spearheaded vast humanitarian effort for Palestinians since the beginning of the slaughters, from taking part in the EU airlift to sending an hospital ship to Gaza, the French Republic has been resolute in preserving civilian life while letting HAMAS die in their hole
It's 100% French tourists went to a country that is actively in conflict with it's neighbors while occupying and carrying out offensives in occupied territory. Death is a risk France specifically warns people about and Israel hasn't been on the French safe travel list since 2021 because it isn't... Safe.
That is not casus belli but way to warhawk!
Gaza had not received aid in over 48 hours, no power, no water, dead left to rot. France has no left to stand on homie, that's not how any of this works.
Those are mostly Christian pilgrims. Second war still doesn't allow you to target civilians.
"French safe travel list"
The french Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not work with a safe travel list but with a safety scale. It has been around the middle or even lower middle of that scale for the past two decades and was never green. You don't know what you are talking about.
"That is not casus belli but way to warhawk"
Except France didn't went two war, so your argument is fucking dumb. Lastly if someone steal your bike and you decide to break into the robber's house with a gun to gat it back and the robber hurt you this still count as self defense even if the robber is an asshole ^^. According to you France should let that slide but Palestine should not let similar things slide ? Why.
"Gaza had not received aid in over 48 hours"
False. The border with Egypt was closed. But the EU airlift wasn't. And a shitton of aid had managed to pass right before Israel forbid the entrance of aid inside Gaza (problem is that we had report of HAMAS stealing aid which didn't help)
"it isn’t… Safe"
And ? All cities have "unsafe area" where a lot of crimes happen does that justify the rape happen there ? Is your excuse for thirty murders with acts of torture and barabarism that "they just do that in Palestine" ? If that is, I think Palestinian find it very cool you like them but clearly the best thing you can do for them is to stop saying stuff.
Lastly,
France has been involved a lot in Palestinian history. By sending so much aid to Palestinian it becames one of the main sources of PA budget to the spearheading of an EU condemnation of Israeli colonization. And most importantly it is thanks to the French Army and Navy that Palestine even exist. Oh yes, the Palestinian State was proclaimed by Yasser Arafat in 1988. In 1982 as the IDF was closing in on Beirut it was the French Army who interposed itself between the advancing IDF and the survivors of PLO command. And it was the Marine Nationale and the U.S Navy who escorted them to safety. Without this intervention 1982 would have been the end of Palestinian Resistance as an organised political movement. So that is how, you a Palestine "supporter" talk about one of the few countries that actually stepped in for Palestine.
P.S : "offensives in occupied territory" that... is by definition not possible an offensive is a military action conceived to conquer a previously unoccupied territory
TL;DR : Why are you trying to convince everyone Palestine only behave medievally everytime there's an armed conflict and murder everyone they see be it allies or enemies ?
Who gives a shit why they're there. And I have specifically and repeatedly condemned civilian deaths and Israels ethnic cleansing.
Remind me again, is France part of the eu? Yeah? Ok because the eu removed Israel and the US in 2021 because of both crime and the pandemic those things being not totally separable. You don't know what you're talking about.
That's my point, they didn't go to war because they couldn't, france has to let it slide, civilian deaths in Israel are on Israel not a terrorist organization that has not held elections in the lifespan of over half it's population.
Multiple outlets report no aid for 48 hours, argue with them homie.
It clearly isn't safe given the deaths, right? It's not at all "they just do that" you fucking bigot, how you even got that is beyond me, like legit are you high?
Sure, they've sent aid historically, that doesn't actually change anything. I'm aware of the history, hitting up wiki isn't going to make your argument less dumb. I'm not a "Palestinian supporter", if you think saying Israel is going to goddamn far after killing ten times as many most of which are civilians then you're a goddamn moron.
noun
/əˈfensiv/
an attacking military campaign.
Just stop, you're getting both tedious and idiotic.
Literally no one said that, but why are you trying to convince everyone "Palestine only behave medievally everytime there's an armed conflict and murder everyone they see be it allies or enemies ?"
Similarly the war isn't against Palestine it's against hamas but nuance clearly escapes you.
the eu removed Israel and the US in 2021
Yes I also remember the famed entry of Israel andthe US in the European Union
Multiple outlets report no aid for 48 hours
Yes during the first 48 hours there was no aid the first
Sure, they’ve sent aid historically
The ancient history of 2016. Oh and this aid has only been growing since. US and EU aid make for a majority of the PA's budget (that is without project funding)
I’m aware of the history
no you are really not. You clearly know jackshit about the History of French and US military relations with the PLO and intervention against the IDF and how Arafat was even alive to proclaim the state of Palestine in 88.
Literally no one said that, but why are you trying to convince everyone “Palestine only behave medievally everytime there’s an armed conflict and murder everyone they see be it allies or enemies ?”
read what I wrote, my point is : people who described ethnic cleansing by the HAMAS as an act of palestinian resistance which should be answered only by negociation are actually portraying Palestinian as bloodthirsty genociders and doing them a great disservice to say the least. (btw i'm not sure if your point is that i claimed that what's between in quotation mark is true or if your sentence is so poorly constructed it is barely understandable, same goes for the EU argument)
Similarly the war isn’t against Palestine it’s against hamas but nuance clearly escapes you.
Yes Netanyahu said that I agree. Sadly for you Gazans for "some" reasons don't really feel that way
Are you drunk? Did you bother to read the text of the conversation before you popped back in only to say crazy shit?
You completely flipped sides, hilarious. Thank you for agreeing though.
I don't care about your opinion. I am not even arguing opinion. I'm pointing out that you are either turbo-wrong on the facts or can't make a bloody sentence. I can't agree with you because you are so bad at making your point its like you have none.
Again what does THAT
is France part of the eu? Yeah? Ok because the eu removed Israel and the US in 2021 because of both crime and the pandemic Fucking means
seriously everything in that sentence is not only wrong, but that barely qualify as sentences.
Again, are yu trying to say Israel was part of the EU ?
Literally no one said that, but why are you trying to convince everyone “Palestine only behave medievally everytime there’s an armed conflict and murder everyone they see be it allies or enemies ?”
What is also THAT ? Why is the quote so poorly made, why is there a "but". The construction of the sentence seems completely reverse, how am i suppose to understand what you are saying.
You completely flipped sides, hilarious. No bro that is called having complex non-manicheist thought. Try it sometimes
