    WTF supports them? I can't imagine a single person on this forum would have anything positive to say about them.

      Iron Dome, Roof Knocking, all are Israeli innovations. Warning of future combat grounds by leafletting puts their troops at risk.

      Oddly Zelensky does none of this and the US/UK/France etc didn't do much of it in the ME. Yet you don't lobby them - anti-Semite much?

      The Israelis could perfectly legitimately respond to any rocket fire with overwhelming return fire and be well within the Geneva Convention. They aren't the ones breaking international law.

      If you bother to read the history of the conflict the Israelis have shown massive restraint. The US would have bombed them back to the stone age years ago.

        Anyone pro Palestine without rejecting Hamas vehemently is effectively Pro Hamas. If you don't admire Israel's restraint and humanity then you are missing the point.

          Oh dear, you really have got the hots for the Israelies, haven't you?

          Btw, "In May, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said 14,000 Hamas fighters and 16,000 Palestinian civilians had been killed in the war". A little more than your "About 10,000" in fact 200% more.

              Click the link to read the article called "How Jewish is Volodymyr Zelensky?" in the Jewish Chronicle.

              Edited to say: Oddly unlike the rest of his "comrades" like John McDonnell and Clive Lewis, Jeremy Corbyn doesn't support the UK sending arms to Ukraine.

                  These days, you are antisemitic if you:
                  • Criticise or question any actions of the Israeli State or armed forces
                  • Express any concern over Palestinian casualties in Gaza
                  Therefore, guilty as charged.

                    Individual or mass forcible transfers, as well as deportations of protected persons from occupied territory to the territory of the Occupying Power or to that of any other country, occupied or not, are prohibited, regardless of their motive.

                    Nevertheless, the Occupying Power may undertake total or partial evacuation of a given area if the security of the population or imperative military reasons so demand. Such evacuations may not involve the displacement of protected persons outside the bounds of the occupied territory except when for material reasons it is impossible to avoid such displacement. Persons thus evacuated shall be transferred back to their homes as soon as hostilities in the area in question have ceased.

                    The Occupying Power undertaking such transfers or evacuations shall ensure, to the greatest practicable extent, that proper accommodation is provided to receive the protected persons, that the removals are effected in satisfactory conditions of hygiene, health, safety and nutrition, and that members of the same family are not separated.

                    The Protecting Power shall be informed of any transfers and evacuations as soon as they have taken place.

                    The Occupying Power shall not detain protected persons in an area particularly exposed to the dangers of war unless the security of the population or imperative military reasons so demand.

                    The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies.

                      Untrue.

                      The issue is that antisemites hide behind "oh we're just criticising Israel/the IDF" and "oh we're just concern over civilian casualties".

                      It's always been that way.
