Will you be getting those troops from the same 'people factory' you'll be getting those builders, yeah?

How are you going to get the Youth to sign up for the Army when we all know you'll be tossed on the scrapheap of life once you're out of the Service? The State exploits us, then ignores us once we are of no use.

Waving flags and being a fan of the Royals doesn't really cut it.

@Lazarou had the chat with my son recently to find out what he would do if drafted into some war with Russia or worse on Israel’s side say. He made a great point: I’ll be there just after the politicians who’ve got us into this situation have put their own kids in the front line.

Precisely.

@JimmyB @Lazarou
Because God forbid your son defends those damned _Jews_, am I right?

@LeyviRose

Oh no. We'd all defend Jews - as we'd defend anyone against colonialism, racism, totalitarianism. It's fascist genociders we're slightly taken against.

@Lazarou

@JimmyB @Lazarou
Is that so?
Have you yet realized that you are sitting on your ass, spending time on your phone instead of going to Gaza and helping the IDF, Red Cross, etc distribute aid?
You could be doing a lot of different things to defend them, this is not one of them.
Also, given Israel is defending itself against terrorists who attempted to invade and genocide them, you should really be more supportive.

JimmyB (he/him)

@LeyviRose

Are you aware that Israel is occupied land? That the occupation has been achieved with massive largely unacknowleged violence? That the pervading rhetoric in Israel that dehumanises palestinians is deeply fascist in nature? That the deliberate torture, murder, and elimination of Palestinians and those brave souls trying to get the word out about the genocide - is evidence in itself, of the genocide?

You don't get to talk of defence while part of team genocide.

@Lazarou

@JimmyB @Lazarou
So who's land is it, if it's occupied? Does it belong to the migrants your ancestors deposited here when you exiled my ancestors, while colonizing this place your-sleves? I know the people you've accused of genocide personally… they are my friends and family, all of them are nice people, all of them value life as much as you and I.

@LeyviRose

I worked in the Balkans after the war. My Serb friends used to say the same kind of thing. One of my colleagues had been a sniper on the hills above Sarajevo. He was/is a lovely fella.

Doesn't change the fact that he committed grotesque war crimes.

And it isn't me accusing anyone of genocide. Though the evidence is absolutely overwhelming - check with independent international lawyers.

Those dropping 2000 lb bombs on tents with women & children do not value life

@Lazarou

@JimmyB @Lazarou
Those tents containing women and children also happen to contain various munitions, which the fathers of those families use to murder our families! These tactics are nothing new.

@LeyviRose

I tell you whose land it isn't: it isn't the land of deeply racist colonialists. That's whose land it isn't.

If the settlers (what a fucking concept!) had created a society where all were valued then this would be a different conversation. They didn't. From the beginning they dehumanised Palestinians - a core part of the Israeli narrative still - and treated them appallingly. Stole their land. Called resistance terrorism.

Well - now everyone can see it.

@Lazarou

@JimmyB @Lazarou
You missed the point of my post (you only read the first sentance); it really isn't their land, it's ours. We were here first, your ancestors displaced them from some other part of the region, and when your ancestors exiled mine, brought them there and named the land after a group we had already driven out to make sure it would be difficult for us to come back.

@LeyviRose

Oh - the old lie! Actually - it's quite a new lie - created by Zionist fanatics in the late 1800's but anyway.

As I may have mentioned: Educate. Yourself.

Let's just say you were right (you aren't: you've believed horrible propaganda), would it still be OK to do the things that Israel has done? No. It would still be genocide.

@Lazarou

@JimmyB @Lazarou
We are deliberately avoiding civilian casualties whenever possible, and distributing aid to Palestinians, even though it is unpopular to do so. But if you don't feel like beliving facts, get this: what were doing is much too ad-hoc to be genocide. Genocide must be systematic and organized. It can involve dedicating the military to killing civilians, or death camps, or whatever. But when a civilian gets killed by our wepons, it's never because we targeted them directly.

@JimmyB @Lazarou
It's always because they were standing too close to a real terrorist.

@LeyviRose

Like those people in the Lebanon when those pagers went off killing people indiscriminately?

Look at who you stand next to: Trump and Bibi - two of the most inhuman murderers in recent history. Both consolidating their positions, to avoid prison, by pushing whole litanies of fascist lies.

Why don't you just free yourself and find some actual information?

@Lazarou

@JimmyB @Lazarou
Those pagers were sold directly to Hezbollah. Any that may have made it into the hands of medical professionals were sold by Hezbollah. Maybe the Lebenese should stop buy equipment from Terrorists!

@LeyviRose @JimmyB lol, what a load of genocide denying bollocks.

Wipe the blood from your hands and fuck off out of my mentions, you weirdo.

@LeyviRose

Let's see if you can get it if I put it this way: "those nuclear bombs were sold to terrorists"

And BTW: who you class as a terrorist says a lot about you and not much about them. Personally, and given it's use, I don't find that word too useful. If you must use it then Israel is a terrorist state, if you like.

@Lazarou

@LeyviRose

Everything you say is contradicted by independent evidence. The aid workers demonstrating that children, journalists, medics are being deliberately targeted. The appalling abuse of palestinian hostages, held without charge in conditions of torture.

You need better sources of information: coming here and spouting fascist lies and apologetics is...something or other.

Many independent international lawyers have concluded, based on the super-abundant evidence of genocide.

@Lazarou

@JimmyB @Lazarou
Since you're so certain, why don't you provide factual evidence from a third party, which isn't as politically charged as you? I'd like to see if you know of any sources that think with their brains.

@LeyviRose

What's my political charging? Being opposed to genocide?

try harder. The evidence against you is overwheleming! Why not seek some out yourself? I am not here to educate you other than to the fact that the world is a big old place, and you live in a place where knowledge is supressed - extremely.

And it shows. Stop spouting this propaganda!

@Lazarou

@LeyviRose

Just so you know, in case this information isn't available for you: there is absolutely zero doubt that the IDF is not avoiding civilian casualities, presumably because like you, they see collective punishment as acceptable. never mind asking themselves why an occupied and oppressed population might spring up a theocratic, violent and murderous response.

@Lazarou

@JimmyB @Lazarou
It wasn't "created" so much as it was discovered by archeologists sifting through rubble excavated from the temple mount, as well as many other well-documented biblical sites.

@LeyviRose

Please stop. This is all a well constructed defence of genocide. It'snot new. It's well known and described. It's author's are well known.

Your ignorance is shameful. Do better.

Why don't you go and read stuff written by non-genocidal Jews? There are stacks of them all over the world. With a bit of effort you could find some actual information.

@Lazarou

@JimmyB @Lazarou
Also, notice this:
In the videos of the hostages being released, why is it that all the Palestinians appear to be fine, while the hostages being released look like fucking skeletons? Does that really scream "we are dying" to you?

@LeyviRose

We've seen very different videos. And you know why? Because I can see it all while in Israel, independent journalism has been erased.

Educate. Yourself.

The videos and tesitimony of grotesque torture, starvation, abuse, sexual abuse, of Palestinian hostages held without charge is so well documented that your ignorance is hard to excuse.
