    Israel controls supplies of water, electricity and other essentials. It is a blockade. Netanyahu has no interest in a two-state solution. He wants to do everything he can to ensure it never happens.

  5. Third place or better isn't quite guaranteed but it should happen.
  6. Another great win for Brighton :cheer: The once-mighty Ajax have now failed to score against Brighton in three hours of football. Every other opponent this season has managed to score at least once in half that time. The result means Brighton should finish at least third, thereby remaining in European competition into the new year.

    Or, to summarise, "Israel withdraws from territory it invaded".

    So you haven't addressed my point at all.

    Israel controls what goes into and comes out of Gaza. Israel controls the supply of essentials such as power and water. That doesn't fit into my definition of "independent".

    Both sides are breaking international law. The fact that Hamas broke international law multiple times on October 7 doesn't excuse Israel doing the same in response. That's before we look at Israel's multiple breaches before October 7.

  12. Charities generally don't give out tents to homeless people. Therefore, not for the first time, this government is aiming for good headlines in the tabloid press by proposing to ban something that isn't happening. I have said in the past that Braverman is pure poison. I think I might have been too kind.

    “Between the sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty.” That comes from the founding charter of Netanyahu's Likud party.

    The Geneva Conventions post-date WWII. They were established as a response to events such as the Allied bombing of Dresden.

    No they don't. And the amount of aid being let in is a small fraction of what is required.

    I want to have a civilised debate. However, that is difficult of you cannot accept that destruction of innocent people's homes amounts to collective punishment.
  19. Suedehead2 posted a post in a topic in News and Politics
    Destroying homes regardless of who occupied them is collective punishment.
  20. Bayern Munich v Darmstadt was goalless at half-time. Bayern ended up winning 8-0. Harry Kane scored a hat-trick, including one from beyond the half-way line.

    In what way do you think collective punishment is not a war crime? BTW, you haven't addressed my original question.
  22. Suedehead2 posted a post in a topic in News and Politics
    It doesn't matter who is the aggressor. War crimes are war crimes.
  23. Suedehead2 posted a post in a topic in News and Politics
    Collective punishment IS a war crime. Both sides in this latest conflict have committed numerous war crimes.
  24. Suedehead2 posted a post in a topic in News and Politics
    I didn't say that Gaza was an occupied territory. However, Israel's occupation of Palestinian territory helped to lead to the disaster that is Hamas. Israel's response amounts to collective punishment. That is a war crime and will only serve to increase Palestinian resentment against Israel. If an election had been held in the Palestinian territories last month, Hamas may well have been defeated. Now they would probably win a landslide.

    What do you think will be the predominant response of Palestinians whose homes have been destroyed, along with the possessions they had to leave behind? Will it be a) "Well done Israel" b) "It's a bit of a blow, but life goes on" c) "I hate Israel and I'm more determined than ever to get them to leave the Occupied Territories" d) "I hate Israel and I want to see it wiped off the face of the Earth"? I suspect the predominant feeling will be c). However, a significant number will go for d) which is a route to further suffering and disaster. Which leaves approximately 2.3 million people (including 1 million children) who are not Hamas. Previous figures from the ministry (which are accompanied by lists of the dead) have been accepted as broadly reliable by, among others, the UN.
