    “We are horrified at details emerging from mass graves recently unearthed in the Gaza Strip. Over 390 bodies have been discovered at Nasser and Al Shifa hospitals, including of women and children, with many reportedly showing signs of torture and summary executions, and potential instances of people buried alive,” the experts said.

    But but but... Hamas!

    The systematic atrocity of Netanyahu's mass murdering with impunity goes on because (A) Israel receives too much US-EU finanvial & military support and (B) Israelis aren't bleeding enough (yet) for the citizenry en mass to rise up and stop Bibi's zionfascist regime from slaughtering any more Gazans et al.

    390 bodies? Including women and children? That is horrible.

    Does anybody want to talk about the half a million child refugees settled in Bangladesh with no rights or support? No? Ok...

    Sorry, I am not acquainted with internet-debate vocab, so I have no clue what that means. But what I am gathering is that you (and many other people here) don't care about refugee children in Bangladesh. Why is that?

    You gather wrong. It's also off topic. Unlike Israel nobody here is defending Myanmar either. That would illicit a response in whatever thread that would happen.

    Israel has done more to undermine the US-led world order these past few months than anything Russia and China are doing. If Trump ends up getting elected because of Israel and he goes on to dismantle NATO and hand Ukraine to Russia then we all have Netanyahu to thank for being such an incompetent immoral villainous figure.

    Objective: eradicate Hamas.

    Since Israel is the aggressor and occupier, which has created a murderous prison for 2 million people barely surviving under its vicious regime, the way they can deal with Hamas is to free the territory from their sadistic rule.

    More narrowly, they can accept a cease-fire.

    There will be no eradication of Hamas. What Israel wants is apparent: cleanse the region of those “barbaric” Palestinians, who are to blame for Hamas’ actions and who don’t really deserve to be there anyway. Barely disguised racism, really. But so it goes…

    For people who portray themselves as caring about human suffering and children, there is awfully little talk about the half a million Bengali child refugees.

    As usual, Mearsheimer manages to deliver a lucid take on the Israel-Palestine conflict.

    I have echoed similar sentiments in this thread: Israel is paving the way to its own destruction, and apologizing for its misdeeds or cheering it on is simply going to expediate that process.

    Israel needs a radical change of course.

    Awfully little talk about the suffering of other countries on a thread about Israel/Palestine. How suspicious! It just proves that those discussing Israel/Palestine, on an Israel/Palestine thread, don’t really care about oppression, ethnic cleansing, or genocide.

    And pointing this out makes me smart. It definitely doesn’t prove that one is a complete imbecile.

    Don’t you mean “your guru Mearsheimer”? (Is that goofy ignoramus still around? I lost track after putting on ignore list.)

    Anyway— Mearsheimer is spot on, as usual. I’m glad he’s getting a larger audience, thanks mostly to the internet media sidestepping mass media, which ignores him (although he did get 5 minutes on the PBS Newshour a few months ago).

    Addendum to the 2012 documentary The Gatekeepers linked in my previous post
    https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/900701

    :scream: THE CALLS FOR HELP AGAINST ISRAELI-JEWISH THREATS TO ISRAEL HAVE BEEN COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE (AT LEAST) SINCE THE KAHANIST – ZION-FASCIST –ASSASSINATION OF PRIME MINISTER RABIN ...

    some of the latest articles:

    https://m.jpost.com/israel-news/article-801455

    https://www.brookings.edu/articles/extremist-israeli-settlers-are-nonstate-armed-actors/

    Ergo, apologists for Netanyahu's recent genocidal operation (against the apartheid-captive, oppressed population of Gaza – à la "Warsaw Ghetto") in a calculated overreaction to Hamas are accomplices in the well-documented, (less and less gradual) right-wing destruction of Israel. No doubt the spectres of Göbbels, the SS and other historical Christian/Muslim/communist antisemites' are pleased. :death:

    Rarely mentioned, and when it is mentioned never really expanded upon. Possibly just means "the grave." Or perhaps some shadowy underworld. Not at all a major concern or topic in the Hebrew Bible.
