Therefore, Jew

[Rev. Green]

"The quality of mercy is not strained. It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven upon the place beneath... Therefore, Jew, though justice be thy plea, consider this: that in the course of justice none of us should see salvation. We do pray for mercy, and that same prayer doth teach us all to render the deeds of mercy."

Have Jews learnt nothing since 1598?

//A rear admiral in the IDF said that the goal of their bombardment was "damage and not accuracy" //

Do you have link to that?

[naomi24]

Untitled, whenever your unfounded claims are challenged you jump to something else.  It's all coming across as somewhat hysterical.

[Untitled]

"Do you have link to that?"

here you are

http://web.archive.org/web/20231022083603/https:/www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2023/10/11/inside-gaza-entire-neighbourhoods-flattened-hamas-israel/

i have used an archive link to bypass the daily telegraph's paywall...

another unnamed spokesman for the IDF has expressed their intention to destroy every building in gaza and reduce it to a city of tents:

https://www.skynews.com.au/world-news/city-of-tents-israeli-defence-official-vows-every-building-in-gaza-will-be-destroyed-in-ground-manoeuvre/news-story/203242e24af1dd4757e0250001e7ed8a

this link also quotes an israeli lawmaker who is part of the ruling party calling for israel to use nuclear weapons on gaza. do you agree with her khandro?

[Untitled]

the rear admiral quoted in the telegraph is Daniel Hagari, who is a spokesman for the IDF.

[Untitled]

here's the guardian too

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/10/right-now-it-is-one-day-at-a-time-life-on-israels-frontline-with-gaza

"Speaking on Tuesday morning, IDF spokesperson R Adm Daniel Hagari made the startling admission that “hundreds of tons of bombs” had already been dropped on the tiny strip, adding that “the emphasis is on damage and not on accuracy”"

the rear admiral has not contested this statement and was quite happy to be named in his capacity as a spokesman.

[Khandro]

Perhaps the admiral should stay on his ship.

He isn't the spokesperson for the IDF.

and all this hand wringing for the attacks on Hamas is really no more than anti-Semitism in disguise. Were you crying out on the 7th when 1,220 Israelis were killed & many more raped and abducted?

[Untitled]

of course khandro. those things were awful atrocities.

re: daniel hagari, he is the head of the IDF's spokesman's unit... he's as close to an official singular spokesman as it gets.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Hagari

so according to him, israel isn't concerned with 'accuracy' or with precision bombing... it only cares about damage.

while i have you... do you agree with the israeli legislator tally gotliv that nuclear weapons should be used on gaza?

[andy-hughes]

roy - // So you think Israel has no right to go on the attack...how do you think hamas should be punished? //

The 'So' Rule strikes again - you just have to wait long enough, it will always come round ...

 

[andy-hughes]

Khandro - // ... and all this hand wringing for the attacks on Hamas is really no more than anti-Semitism in disguise. //

That's nonsense, it belongs in the same level of logical conclusion that a dog born in a stable is a horse.

You cannot assume that someone expressing sympathy for the civilian casualties in Gaza (I don't believe anyone has ever epxressed sympathy with Hamas over its actions), means that the sympathsier is an anti-Semite.

 

It's not logical, and says more about your attitudes than theirs.

thank you andy

[naomi24]

Untitled doesn't think Israel should go on the attack - and the 'so' rule exists only in your head.

[andy-hughes]

naomi - // and the 'so' rule exists only in your head. //

Clearly it also exists on here, which is why I keep drawing attention to it!

[Untitled]

and you think israel should kill whoever it wants including children. we can both make pithy unflattering summaries of what the other person thinks... it doesn't take much. 

[naomi24]

You draw attention to it because you invented it - but that aside it can't be applied in this instance anyway because roy is right.  Untitled doesn't think Israel should go on the attack.

[andy-hughes]

naomi - // Untitled doesn't think Israel should go on the attack ... //

I believe that is an interpretation, and an inaccurate one, of what Untitled has said.

I have read back through his posts, and I take his position as being that Israel should not be involved in the indiscriminate destruction and slaughter of citizens of Gaza, which is not actually the same as saying that they should not attack.

[naomi24]

andy-hughes, You haven't read back far enough.

[andy-hughes]

naomi - // andy-hughes, You haven't read back far enough. //

I started at the beginning of the thread - I don't have access to Untitled's thought processes before he started posting.

 

[naomi24]

You've missed the other threads.

[andy-hughes]

No, I haven't.

And you have no idea which threads I have, or have not read. 

You are doing your usual trick of presuming you know everyone's thoughts and motivations.

You don't. 

[naomi24]

You must have missed the other threads otherwise you'd know what untitled said.  That aside - you're off ... so I'm off.  Can't be bothered with it.   Bye for now.
