[@ilyakuryakin4639]

I think Omar Baddar held back when asked to clarify what he meant by the Israeli pathology. He made mention at the beginning of the incident where a grandmother was targeted while walking with her grandson carrying a white flag, and also instances of IDF personnel taking pleasure in the destruction of Palestinian property and society. Clearly these examples are more than 'political pathology', but a deeper pathology that takes pleasure in others' pain and borne of indoctrination from childhood.

@@gaulishrealist A resistance organization who had been under occupation for 75 years (ie. Israel created an outdoor prison for 2.3 million people). This group fought back. They took hostages, IOF watched it happen then took the helicopters that our tax dollars pay for and initiated the Claimed use of the Hannibal Directive on 7th October 2023 Some commentators have argued that the Hannibal directive, previously understood to generally apply to situations involving IDF soldiers, enemy combatants and possibly non-Israeli civilians (with the goal of avoiding a repetition of the Ahmad Jibril, Samir Kuntar and Gilad Shalit prisoner exchanges). There is a video from an Israeli Journalist, Sahat News who recently exposed that the “crime scene that BIBI McKloswskni (aka Netanyahu so he will sound Jewish) was fake. Apparently, BIBI also made up stories that the female hostage who came before congress publicly stated that she was never treated inhumanly by her hostage takers. It’s crazy how when you watch Israeli news media, they are exposing the lies that many journalist had exposed in November. Finally, we have a petition with 98k signatures that because the US continues to veto 12 of their 14 veto’s were against a ceasefire agreement. So God willing, the US will soon be taken to the ICJ by “we the people”. IF you need anymore information about what happened 11 months ago…I am happy to answer for you.

In 2004, the International Court of Justice established, in a case relating to Israel and the West Bank, that a state like Israel that is in belligerent occupation is not in the same position as a state that is attacked by another state. That means Israel does not, in fact, have a right to defend itself under Article 51 of the U.N. Charter, says John Quigley, emeritus professor of international law at Ohio State University. Instead, it falls within the law relating to a belligerent occupation and to actions taken by a military force within the occupied population. “That puts a much greater burden on Israel to protect the population,” Quigley says. Under the Fourth Geneva Convention, which decrees that occupied people are “protected persons,” the occupying state has an obligation to protect this population.

I applaud Tom for providing a platform to discuss this very controversial topic. However, it was frustrating to hear Tom continuously play devils advocate on a situation that is more or less black and white. Overly intellectualizing clear evidence of atrocities being committed by a regional power on a defenceless population and labeling them as "frames of reference" and "differing world views" sterilizes the grotesque breach of fundamental human rights that has been carried out by the IDF for the entirety of this occupation. There is a reason for the UN charter of human rights; to apply universality to the basic treatment of others so that a genocide cannot be justified by intellectualizing a particular world view. I'm sure no one would question the brutality and evil committed by the Nazi's, or the slaughter of the Tutsi's of Rwanda, or the hell imposed by Stalin on the Soviet Union or apartheid South Africa as a "differing frame of reference".

[@salmivec]

This statement, by Bertrand Russell, on the Middle East was dated 31st January 1970, and was read on 3rd February, the day after Bertrand Russell’s death, to an International Conference of Parliamentarians meeting in Cairo: The latest phase of the undeclared war in the Middle East is based upon a profound miscalculation. The bombing raids deep into Egyptian territory will not persuade the civilian population to surrender but will stiffen their resolve to resist. This is the lesson of all aerial bombardment. The Vietnamese who have endured years of American heavy bombing have responded not by capitulation but by shooting down more enemy aircraft. In 1940 my own fellow countrymen resisted Hitler’s bombing raids with unprecedented unity and determination. For this reason, the present Israeli attacks will fail in their essential purpose, but at the same time they must be condemned vigorously throughout the world. The development of the crisis in the Middle East is both dangerous and instructive. For over 20 years Israel has expanded by force of arms. After every stage in this expansion Israel has appealed to “reason” and has suggested “negotiations”. This is the traditional role of the imperial power because it wishes to consolidate with the least difficulty what it has already taken by violence. Every new conquest becomes the new basis of the proposed negotiation from strength, which ignores the injustice of the previous aggression. The aggression committed by Israel must be condemned, not only because no state has the right to annexe foreign territory, but because every expansion is an experiment to discover how much more aggression the world will tolerate. The refugees who surround Palestine in their hundreds of thousands were described recently by the Washington journalist I.F. Stone as “the moral millstone around the neck of world Jewry.” Many of the refugees are now well into the third decade of their precarious existence in temporary settlements. The tragedy of the people of Palestine is that their country was “given” by a foreign Power to another people for the creation of a new State. The result was that many hundreds of thousands of innocent people were made permanently homeless. With every new conflict their number have increased. How much longer is the world willing to endure this spectacle of wanton cruelty? It is abundantly clear that the refugees have every right to the homeland from which they were driven, and the denial of this right is at the heart of the continuing conflict. No people anywhere in the world would accept being expelled in masse from their own country; how can anyone require the people of Palestine to accept a punishment which nobody else would tolerate? A permanent just settlement of the refugees in their homeland is an essential ingredient of any genuine settlement in the Middle East. We are frequently told that we must sympathize with Israel because of the suffering of the Jews in Europe at the hands of the Nazis. I see in this suggestion no reason to perpetuate any suffering. What Israel is doing today cannot be condoned, and to invoke the horrors of the past to justify those of the present is gross hypocrisy. Not only does Israel condemn a vast number of refugees to misery, not only are many Arabs under occupation condemned to military rule; but also Israel condemns the Arab nations only recently emerging from colonial status, to continued impoverishment as military demands take precedence over national development. All who want to see an end to bloodshed in the Middle East must ensure that any settlement does not contain the seeds of future conflict. Justice requires that the first step towards a settlement must be an Israeli withdrawal from all the territories occupied in June 1967. A new world campaign is needed to help bring justice to the long-suffering people of the Middle East.

It doesn’t take an intellectual to see how harmful the state of Israel is to everything it touches.

[@SaraSara-ti6ex]

80% of Palestinians have Canaanite ancestry, it’s their land

[@jennarose60monroe51]

It's a part of the world that's been fought over for 2,000 years

[@soulsmouls]

@@jennarose60monroe51 Palestinians never had to fight for it until now because the Romans, Arabs, Kurds, Greeks, Byzantines never kicked them out

[@VanessaDiazNYC]

Kudos to Omar for patiently explaining what’s for blatantly obvious.

[@talg7131]

Let's see Omar Baddar debate Douglas Murray💯%

[@Z5100-k7t]

What’s the point Douglas is just a gay lier

[@michaellebor8458]

I really don’t want to see Douglas Murray speaking, full stop. But yeh an actual debate would be interesting. Tom doesn’t do a good job

[@pretzelandmustard]

Murray doesn't have a logical argument for the prolongation of this conflict, the legitimacy of the settlements, and/or the continuation of Western financial support. If he did, he would have provided them by now and wouldn't rely on appeals to emotion [and racism] as much as he does. He preaches to the fringe of both the left and right; he speaks as though people are either wearing a green bandana or bleeding blue and white. He doesn't speak to or for the rational people who appreciate the plight of both peoples and have empathy for both, the group of people that can actually affect change because a compromise is ultimately what is going to bring peace to this land. In fact, it's his objectors that provide the most rational reason why Israel should continue to stand as a state - removing Israelis now would be akin to when the Palestinians were forcibly removed and murdered in 1948 - people who live on the land now weren't alive, hence should not be held responsible for what their despicable ancestors did. Everything else mentioned above - there is nothing to talk about, it's unlawful, immoral, and Israel and the West needs to stop.

@pretzelandmustard Typical response, not even worth articulation...
