Surely they are two countries with a dispute, they are two countries at war, or is your stance its one country unable to control its citizens.

Thanks for confirming my suspicion about you! 🤣

No,  I am a peace wisher.  You are obviously a terrorist sympathiser because what Israel are doing is against International Law and tantamount to terrorism.

Time you gave the drink a miss,  looked after yourself and your wife and stopped worrying about world affairs which you can't alter.

How can occupying, bullying and oppressing a neighbouring country for over 70m years be justified ?

 

I have contemp and zero respect for terrorist sympathisers. Enough said.

Ah, right.

 

I always believe terrorists, honest bunch of lads.

They must absolutely love folk like you, whilst laughing at you at the same time for being so gullible, no offence mind.

 

👍

 

 

I'm not at all bothered what you believe  -  knowing you are relaxed about Genocide is reason enough for me to stay out of your mind.

I also don't mind if people laugh at me either  -  I try to be a reasonably decent law abiding bloke,   and It's whether I'm happy in my own conscience about what I think,  what I say and what I do.

I don't want to see anyone murder anyone.     If they do,  then it's not with my blessing and my conscience is clear.       If that makes me gullible,  then so be it,  far better than being hateful like you.

A somewhat different story in stating that the victims were known terrorists either hiding or being treated in the hospital

Oh well,  at least they're ensuring that you still get your fun if that's the kind of thing that cheers you up.

I have contempt,  ( spelled properly )  and disgust, for Genocide lovers and anyone else,  like yourself,   who could agree to,  the murder of  innocent civilians,  especially children,

Interesting video here.

Could be genuine, could be fake.

I'm not sure Mr Hinckle is the most reliable source, but the video is genuine enough; it's widely reported elsewhere, including this story on Haaretz

From that and other reports, including from the Israeli military, the claim is that they were terrorists planning a future attack.
One was long term disabled and receiving medical treatment for previous injuries, one was his brother, and the third a different visitor

If they were planning something from within the hospital, then that would likely be defined as a war crime.

It's also reported that they were shot with silenced weapons, whilst sleeping. 
Clearly this was within the bounds of a hospital, as per the video and photographs, so is also likely a war crime under international law.
I've no issue with them being arrested and interrogated, but this would appear to be excessive force if they didn't present an immediate threat.

Really? 

Not the first time it's been suggested, in one case by an Israeli minister; he's reported to have repeated it as well, since the ICJ ruling
OK apparently he's now suspended, though I'd argue that might really be as he's alluded to Israel actually having nuclear weapons, which has hitherto been denied.

Read the links I posted they give you an explanation of why Hamas may have carried the attack out instead of being lazy.

 

Getting folk to read links, when it's easier to be argumentative or provocative is always going to be difficult; I'm not referring to you here. 😉
The ones I added to post 31 in this thread might help put some stuff into context. (as well as post 52)
I've started to type them in a blue font when I remember.

Something on TV which is very worrying.  A UN weapons inspector says Iran has enough uranium to make 12 nuclear bombs in five months.

Ooooh weapons of mass destruction. 

I bet they can launch them and hit us in 40 minutes. We must invade IMMEDIATELY.
