[@aceheart5828]

​@@catsaresocute650 So the resistance went out with clear military & political aims, which was to cross over into Israel, to take hostages, and to use them as part of a negotiation to get back four thousand hostages which Israel had already taken. Do I condemn the planning and decision to undertake a mission to return already captured hostages ? No, I don't ! In the process of that mission its possible that things didn't go as planned, that some of the fighters acted out of hand, or came across a real circumstance that they handled incorrectly. Evidence needs to be brought to show how they deviated from their misson, and if they did they would be responsible for their wrongs. The planning, objectives & decision to undertake the mission remain clear and correct. And if we are to check on the particularities of the mission to retrieve hostages , by the resistance, than we must equally check on the particularities of every case in which is Israel took hostages. We must look at what their mission was and how they may have deviated from that mission. We must ask whether the outline of the mission had real, true and moral objectives , and whether the implementation was equally so....

The tragedy of the people of Gaza is that they have always been pawns on somebody’s game. In the 1950s they played the Egyptian game, sending terror raids into Israel and suffering Israeli retaliation. Then they became pawns in the Soviet anti-American game under Arafat and PLO. And today they are pawns in the Iranian game under Hamas. Otherwise, if searched for their own reason and based on the large economies of Israel and Egypt, Gaza would prosper.

[@MusMasi]

@@cemanz The Papua conflict is an ongoing conflict in Western New Guinea (Papua) between Indonesia and the Free Papua Movement (Indonesian: Organisasi Papua Merdeka, OPM). Subsequent to the withdrawal of the Dutch administration from the Netherlands New Guinea in 1962[25] and implementation of Indonesian administration in 1963,[26] the Free Papua Movement has conducted a low-intensity guerrilla war against Indonesia through the targeting of its military, police,[27] and civilian populations.[28] Papuan separatists have conducted protests and ceremonies, raising their flag for independence or calling for federation with Papua New Guinea,[27] and accuse the Indonesian government of indiscriminate violence and of suppressing their freedom of expression. Indonesia has also been accused of conducting a genocidal campaign[29] against the indigenous inhabitants. In a 2007 book, author De R. G. Crocombe wrote that an estimated 100,000 to 300,000 Papuans had been killed by Indonesian security forces,[23] and many women raped or subjected to other sexual violence.[30] Research on violence toward Papuan women[Note 1] by the Papuan Women's Working Group, together with the Asia Justice Rights (AJAR), found that 64 out of 170 (or 4 out of 10) Papuan women surveyed in 2013, 2017 experienced some form of state violence.[31] A more recent study in 2019 found that 65 out of 249 Papuan women shared such experiences.[Note 2][32][33] Indonesian governance in the region has been compared to that of a police state, involving the suppression of free political association and expression,[34] although others have noted conflicts in Papua are instead caused by the near or total absence of state involvement in some areas.[35] The Indonesian authorities continue to restrict foreign access to the region due to what they officially claim to be "safety and security concerns".[36] Some organizations have called for a peacekeeping mission in the area.[37][38]

Finally this point of view has been so clearly put. Sick of the constant pressure to condemn the oppressed‘s reaction to the oppressors. Disagree all you like with the tactics and effectiveness of it, be horrified by the acts, but never forget the root cause of such desperate action and that its horror originates in colonialism

[@ltmund]

The counter is too be sick of the new world view of oppression hierarchy. That any issue is viewed in isolation. The oppressed is determined using feelings. Then all actions of the oppressed are valid. The Germans saw themselves as the 'oppressed' that's how they justified their horrors. Be carful. Power isn't everything.

The most powerful thing about this interview for me was that a) you could see Piers’s moral calculus be nudged in real time b) that he lost some level of esteem for Douglas Murray in real time And the beautiful part that at no time did Norman “try” to convince Piers of anything. He just laid out his own position in a wonderfully competent and humane way. Bonus point c) Douglas Murray wet his posh pants at the thought of discussing with professor Finkelstein, because Douglas needs his followers to be dumb enough to believe that “they could have turned Gaza into Singapore” (what a vile and dishonest ducking excuse for a human being could honestly believe such a thing?!)

[@Globaldave1970]

Douglas finds the guy unbearable. He is well known as willing to debate with anyone, but draws the nine with him. I agree, it would be pointless.

@@Globaldave1970 False. The reason why is that Douglas only has debunkable propagandist soundbites and appeals to emotion as his foundation for this issue.

Colonial? And millions of sq. kilometers conquered by Arabs are no colonial? Everything the Arabs have today is given them by the West. First, the Arab statehood came into existence after the West eliminated the Turkish Empire. Second, the Arab wealth comes from oil & gas explored by the West with the Western technologies and for the Western machinery. Before that most of the Arab areas were nothing more than sand and dust. Third, the political power of the Arab states comes due to the decision of the Western powers to create international institutions, especially the UN. Before that the Arab opinion barely interested anybody. Even the Suez Canal and the Egyptology as a science and a touristic business brought by the “colonial settlers”.
