Israel v Hamas

[cryrst]

I have never read anyone even attempt to defend such barbarism. I certainly don’t. Hamas hold views at odds with anything that we regard as civilised behaviour and it must be contained, then eradicated.

That though does not mean that Israel are allowed a free pass to do whatever they like. If they claim to be part of the civilised world then they must behave as we do. Israel has used the appalling events of Oct 7 to pursue their ultimate agenda. Which is the absorption of both Gaza and the West Bank into a greater Israel. There were ways to contain Hamas without killing so many innocents. That’s why so many are angry. Not because they hate Jews, or approve of terrorism.

Muslims want Jews dead, gone off the earth. If that is a bit too much truth then stop posting.
You post stupid sometimes.

What Robinson highlights here is a real and stark problem.

Unlike our mainstream politicians he is brave enough to speak the truth on this.

Whatever someone's views are on Israel/Palestine British Jews are increasingly unsafe in Britain and it's fecking outrageous and entirely the fault of our politicians.....well and all the pro third worldest immigration NGO and funded groups....some part state funded.

You certainly do for that’s an awfully ignorant statement.

Some radicalised extremists might well want all Jews dead. Just as some extremist Zionists might prefer if all Muslims were dead. Neither statement is remotely true though of the totality of either. As you think I am stupid I asked the right’s favourite AI to offer their opinion, assuming you might just trust it more. This is it:-

“No, the idea that Muslims universally want all Jews dead is a gross oversimplification and inaccurate stereotype. Religious beliefs, including Islam, don’t inherently dictate such extreme positions. Islam, like any major religion, has a wide range of interpretations and practices, and views among Muslims vary greatly based on cultural, political, and personal contexts.

Some historical and ongoing geopolitical tensions, particularly in the Middle East, have fueled conflicts between certain Muslim-majority groups and Jewish populations or the state of Israel. For example, extremist groups like Hamas or Hezbollah have explicitly anti-Semitic rhetoric, rooted more in political ideology than religious doctrine. However, this doesn’t represent the views of 1.9 billion Muslims worldwide. Many Muslims coexist peacefully with Jews in various regions, from Morocco to Indonesia, and interfaith initiatives exist in places like the U.S. and Europe.

Polls, like those from Pew Research (e.g., 2011 Middle East surveys), show varied attitudes toward Jews in Muslim-majority countries, often influenced by local politics rather than religion alone. For instance, in countries like Turkey or Egypt, negative views of Jews can stem from opposition to Israeli policies rather than a blanket desire for violence. Conversely, in places like India or the U.S., Muslim and Jewish communities often share mutual respect and collaboration.

Extremist voices are loud but not representative. Painting all Muslims with a single brush ignores the diversity of thought and the complexity of human beliefs. If you’re digging into this, look at specific sources like community dialogues on X or interfaith programs for a clearer picture.”
