Not wishing to be negative but wasn't somebody asleep at the wheel? How could this happen if their border defense was in place? Hundreds of hostages means Israel is fucked on that point.
Oh lord, this old canard about PR again.Israel is a classic example of the failure of proportional representation, since 2003 Israel has had more elections than Italy. During that time Orthodox extremists and militant Zionists have increased their power base. The Knesset has 130 seats, 11 parties now sit within. Five hard right parties have aligned with Netanyahu into a solid political block. Bibi doesn't have to worry about contesting another election until early 2027. What happened in Italy has happened in Israel...do you want that for Canada?
Not allowed to use all the other examples of PR in the world.Sounds more like you resent it working?
Granted the Auzzies are gnats on the world stage same as Canada, so we don’t hear too much about them. They seem happy.
And there's the Hitler one, right like clockwork.Here another scrap of history, the Wiemar Republic of Germany adopted Proportional Representation. From 1924 until 1932, Germany had five elections with the National Socialists and the Marxists increasing their power base and paralyzing the country politically.
For Israel, this is the equivalent of the Tet offensive. Iranians are apparently students of history...More violence won't help.
There were attacks by Israel in 2015, 2018 and 2021 on Gaza and more before then and none created peace.
You can't kill the entire democratically elected Hamas government and police force.
Even if Israel did kill the tens of thousands in Hamas there are still 2 million people living in Gaza who wouldn't just bow their heads and live under an apartheid blockade.
If you want peace Israel needs to deescalate for a change, not kill more people.
End the occupation or end apartheid.
Mitchy, Ukraine is desperate for weapons to defend itself. Why tf would it sell weapons to a Mid East terrorist organization?
Last I checked Dubya invaded Ghan and Trump made the dumb peace deal that promised to withdraw US troops. Don't know where Biden comes into that equation.
Hamas supporters in the West Bank celebrated what happened in Israel earlier today. Draw your attention to the weapons they’re carrying. Those are American weapons—M4s. Just what happened to the billions of dollars in arms Joe Biden left behind in the failed withdrawal of Afghanistan?
I love when he posts in a long thread. I save so much time just skipping over his nonsense. He posts nothing worth looking at.You seem to know everything Mitch!![]()
Which is good, Mitch. The more aid that the Palestinians get, the more it builds towards peace. Nothing pisses people off more than seeing their kids starve.
Proof and sources, Mitchy?
Why do you support the deaths of these children and refugees?A reminder.
75% of the population of Gaza are refugees.
Half are children.
And why would Russia miss an opportunity to make that shit up and distribute it through their degenerate ultra right friends?Mitchy, Ukraine is desperate for weapons to defend itself. Why tf would it sell weapons to a Mid East terrorist organization?
"From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free". Hmmm, I wonder what river they are referencing.
Not true.''If the Palestinians lay down their weapons, there will be peace. If the Israelis lay down their weapons, there will be a massacre.'' Golda Meir.
You support the apartheid occupation of Palestine.Why do you support the deaths of these children and refugees?
That's fucking sick.
The only country that exists there is the one state, apartheid Israel."From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free". Hmmm, I wonder what river they are referencing.
