Israel is fighting on the side of civilisation | Bill Durodié | Battle of Ideas 2024

[@AnneGilmour-jq1ds]

I agree, Israel is standing tall in this world and fighting to preserve our civilisation.

[@joekerr6711]

Really? Slaughtering defenceless men women and children by the tens of thousands is perserving our civilisation? Hmm!

[@gabrielfrank5142]

This is moral clarity.

[@carlospinto5402]

Moral? This only the old colonial propaganda: "We are spreading civilization."

[@gabrielfrank5142]

@carlospinto5402 No it is not. If you tolerate the values propagated by the Arabs for the last ~150 years and later by the Palestinians, you are anti civilization. - Murderer for pride and family pride - Rape as a form of punishment - Ethnic cleansing - Gender apartheid - Tribalism - Religious persecution I hope you get the point.

The old community of Jews that used to live in Gaza perished in Islamist riots of 1929, concurrent with dozens of other communities, the massacre in Hebron was documented, you can see the photos of that ISIS style massacre in archives of the NYT. Photos like the gut churning photos of the massacre of Oct. 7 only in black and white. *In 1929 the massacres were committed mostly by mobs. 1929 is 19 years before the reinstitution of Israel, 38 years before Israel recovered Gaza strip from Egypt, 37 years before the process of appropriating the title Palestinians by Arabs has even started.

While it is true that there should be balance in everything and that includes authority and power, it is true as well in being sensible and logical. The pro Palestinian are more on the emotional side especially women who doesn't understand warfare & geopolitics. While the pro Israel is on the logical side especially those who understands war strategies & knowledgeable in world history. While the youth who are intellectually lazy and drowned on social media's misinformation has become what they call useful idiots marching in the streets as if it has become a fad or fashion that's why they are easily lost. They are the real victims not the so called Palestinians. They are simply instruments of ambitious evil leaders like Iran, Syria, Turkey & Russia. Don't forget October 7th was Putin's Birthday. Imagine how they play with the world.

[@verfed]

It means people want to learn English and be like America. It means the Chinese are learning English by the hundreds of millions. Compare that to China which no one wants to be like, no one wants to move and very few are learning their language.

looking at the war i would say humanity has been thrown out the window. history has shown that far right groups and governments can go too far and gaza is an example of when right wing extremism goes too far

[@castelodeossos3947]

To lay the crimes of Isr at the door of right-wing extremism is to ignore the country's history. The genocide didn't begin on Oct 7th 2023, but in 1948, and planned long before.

[@jase1158]

@@castelodeossos3947 I'm well aware of the dark history and that it was terrorism that played a big role in creating the Israeli state. I'm simply pointing out that this extreme right wing government has gone too far. in saying that i doubt a left wing government would be any different after all it is a rouge state

[@gabrielfrank5142]

This claim disregards the reality on the ground. Tne Palestinians still support their ongoing 90 years old genocidal idiology. The civilian to combatants death ratio in Gaza is dramatically lower than in any other urban war (especially when terrorists organizations are involved). So no Israel doesn't go to far!

[@gabrielfrank5142]

​@castelodeossos3947 The attempt of genocide and ethnic cleansing stats with the arab conquest and is ongoing. Where are thw jews of Iraq, Syria, Egypt, Yemen etc. Where are the Yezdi, the Assirians, the Copts? Explain the Supreme leader of the arabs meeting and indoesing Hitler.

[@gabrielfrank5142]

Israel did not go to far! The Arabs in the area still hold their 150 years old genocidal idiology. They still promise to go on with their pogroms when ever they can, they are still holding hostages. On the military side, the ratio if civilians to combatants deaths in Gaza is smaller than in any other Urban conflict (despite the plasetinisns using civilians as human shields).

[@HelenA-fd8vl]

The Israeli Minister of Defence, Mr Yoav Gallant, announced Israeli policy in Oct 23: “We are enacting a complete siege on Gaza. There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel. Everything will be closed. We are fighting against human animals and we will act accordingly”. Sounds familiar, doesn’t it? The Warsaw Ghetto?

[@mauricecohen3830]

Israel has done more to avoid civilian casualties than any other armies in the history of the world. Comparing Gaza to the Warsaw Ghetto shows your complete ignorance about the conflict. There is absolutely zero comparison

[@ef2718]

Gaza has its own power plant and distributed sources, Israel provides stability and topping of yearly consumption ~10% Gaza has its own water desalination plant and hundreds of water wells (the water table in Gaza strip is less than 60 meters deep), Israel provides topping of yearly consumption ~10%. In recent years Gaza has been importing fuel from Egypt not Israel. Gaza has a border with Egypt, Israel has no obligation to supply enemies more so in time of war.

And then Gallant was fired.

Why ?

[@castelodeossos3947]

According to the Oxford Dictionary, the word 'civilisation' is devoid of moral value: 'the stage of human social and cultural development and organization that is considered most advanced.' According to this learned gentleman, the 70-year genocide being carried out by the brutal Z colonial project is 'fighting on the side of civilisation and humanity itself'. That is the same as to say that the Nazi colonial project for lebensraum in the Soviet Union, and its industry of genocide was and remains the acme of modern civilisation, its value being only that it is modern. Hitler said the exact same, as did his academic poodles, although his language was not so precious. It was, as it were, far more modern, far more 'civlised'.
