They are an embarrassment. I'm a unionist and I accept that Israel is a genocidal state. Free Palestine šŸ‡µšŸ‡ø

You don't need to attend those Politicised Ireland-palestine marches to be in support of Palestine.

What did Winston Churchill, a great unionist, fight for? To allow his unionist brethren to go and support a genocidal state? All of them should hang their heads in shame.

Another political stunt. Everyone knows how this vote was going to go. Who was going to vote yes, and who no. It was a stunt to poke the voters with ''look who voted against'' And as per, the bait was taken.

u/Status-Rooster-5268 May 10 '24

Let's face it, the ONLY reason people want a ceasefire is to allow Hamas to get away with killing 1400 Jews (and because they support what they did, but want to hide behind basic "muh 17 years 364 day old trained militant babies are being killed!")

Remember there is NO genocide, NO famine, so NO SURRENDER

Quite apart from the obvious enmity inherent in this post, what do national parliamentarians think their ridiculous input and vote on a conflict that has absolutely nothing to do with them means?

The real question is why are these people wasting taxpayer money holding votes on issues that have absolutely nothing to do with the country for which they represent?

Even if everyone voted aye to a ceasefire, the IDF certainly wonā€™t be interested and Hamas will be even less likely than the IDF to acknowledge the outcome of a pishy little vote in Northern Ireland.

Itā€™s all performative so some cunt somewhere can go home at the end of the day on a moral high horse pretending theyā€™ve made a meaningful difference when the reality is they have done the exact opposite and have wasted a day that could otherwise be spent improving the constituencies that they work for

I never actually looked too much into the whole Gaza/Palestine/Israel thing going on, so I don't actually know what it's about and why there's such a relevance to it here (I'm assuming it's because it mirrors the oppression suffered in Ireland? I'm probably wrong.)

At this point, I'm nearly too afraid to ask, but I'll ask anyway, at great risk of being downvoted for my ignorance. Can anyone break it down for me, as simply as possible about what happened, who's the good/bad guys and which side supports who? Once again. I apologize for my ignorance on the matter.

u/Twitter_Refugee_2022 May 11 '24 edited May 11 '24

Everyone is bad, no one is good. An inter religious conflict akin to NI x a billion is going on.

Both sides lie, both sides kill innocents, both sides use propaganda and have done extremely morally questionable things.

No one comes out of this story well. Anyone saying thereā€™s a good guy or bad guy in this is an idiot. Itā€™s akin to asking the same re INLA and the LVF. Neither are good both were evil AF.

One thing stands out though, if Palestine could wipe out Isreal it would. Until now Isreal always could have wiped out Palestine and chose not to. The terror attacks in October by Hamas has unleashed Isreal on Palestine at a scale it could have used for decades and chose not to.

Isreal has gone too far but it is doing so post a truly horrific terror attack and both sides have culpability.

I donā€™t want either side to win, I just want it to end. Just like NI back in the day. I just wanted it to end.

One final point, people in NI (stupid people) like to wrap the prism of Loyalists and the Brits around Isreal and itā€™s settlers and Republicans with the Palestinian people. This is unbelievably stupid.

Hamas have far more in common with ISIS than INLA, let alone the IRA and Isreals treatment of Palestine is NOTHING like U.K. and NI, it would be akin to Interment in the 70ā€™s remaining and increasing until present day and instead of plastic bullets lead ones being used at every riot. There are no parallels and people attaching themselves to either side of these causes are falling for Russian and Chinese propaganda designed to sow dissent. They are useful idiots.

u/olibum86 May 10 '24

I think some of ye over in "Great" Britain don't appreciate how staunch right-wing unionists of Northern Ireland are.
My whole life, it's been fairly normal to see that if the republican (Catholic) areas have a flag up about something, the unionists will have the opposite. Republican areas have always had Palestinian flags and murals due to the connection with the IPO, ect, and in response, unionist areas would quite often have isreali flags. Only the other day, on my way back to Dublin from Derry, I drove through Enniskillen and encountered 6 isreali flags on the unionist end of the town. I once even encountered a "straight pride" flag when I was driving through the waterside in Derry during pride month.

I think this post is somewhat misleading. The motion referred to the 'ongoing genocide'. I imagine those who voted against the motion did so because they disagreed with the use of that term, not the ceasefire element.

Fun fact do people know that Israel basically has a hospital full of palestine women. Simply cause they husband's knock the crap out of them whenever they feel like it. Even setting them on fire.

I know people will get there backs up at my comment but thats just life i guess.

Because it's the big topic of misinformation around the wealthy west at the minute, and since politics has now become so influenced by social media it's an easy win for politicians and activists to have "virtue-signalling" performances like these with no real world consequences except likes on twitter. It's even embarassing to have a vote on this in what is an oversized city council chamber.

0

u/Flubsofdeath May 10 '24

"Zionist", "oligarch", "cultist", "elitist". Plenty of big buzzwords to throw around that you probably don't even know the meaning of.

At the end of the day, Israel has done far more to back our western interests around the globe than Hamas and the people who fund them as well as the terrorist groups who are actively trying to plan attacks in countries like the UK, France and USA. The only people who are supporting palistine/hamas are socialist, virtue-signalling, anti-semites who have had their little hearts touched by the pictures of crying Palestinian children on TV, who were bombed because their "brave, hamas freedom fighters" used them as a human shield.

I'd rather support the elitists than the terrorists any day.

u/lovelywilly May 10 '24

Socialist, virtue signaling , anti semite , terrorist attacks. You sound just the same as every other boot licking zionist pig tbh, and then accuse others of using buzz words. I imagine irony isn't a strong point. Also, you continue to use the same old tired "Hamas are using human shields" rhetoric. How many tens of thousands dead? Women and children dumped in mass graves. Every hospital in Palestine turned to rubble. Widespread famine and yet every piece of aid refused entry. No running water, no electricity. Israel bombing indiscriminately killing it's own hostages and they really don't even care. Absolute SCUM and anybody supporting them is scum by association. Good to know you support the mass killing of innocent children because they don't share nor understand your backwards ideology

Hamas started this war and embedded themselves amongst the general population. We should be putting pressure on Hamas to give themselves up or lay down their weapons. If Hamas agreed to do this there would be no more fighting. Israel have the right to defend itself and a ceasefire is merely delaying the ultimate goal of getting rid of Hamas. Peace is the destruction of Hamas. I bet if there was a vote asking for Hamas to lay down their weapons would we see Sinn Fein voting in favour?

Do you have a point to make? This kind of rhetorical question feels very condescending and I don't really have the energy to engage on those lines.

The UK actively sells arms to Israel which are being used in the conflict, they aren't innocent bystanders watching on hopelessly. They're also pine of very few countries with permanent seats on the UN Security Council and historically were instrumental in the foundation of the modern Israeli state. The idea that that have no influence seems laughable to me, but if you want to make that case go ahead, just please don't talk to me like I'm stupid.

This lot are scum, and so is anyone voting for it if they're doing it solely to point score. It's absolutely despicable what is happening, and western governments (and America in particular) are allowing it to happen because being able to project power into the whole of the ME from Israel (and Jordan) is worth the lives of some brown people.

Some amount of SF/IRA boys on this thread supporting their mates Hamas as usual on here.Ā 

If Hamas want a ceasefire so badly then why not help themselves by releasing the hostages and stop firing rocket?

It's very unfortunate that so many innocent people are being killed but that's what happens when a terrorist group uses human shields. We can't forget that the local gaza population widely support hamas and had a big celebration on October 7th either.

Unionist politicians are only following the national UK line on this issue shouldn't really have been a vote in the Assembly.

u/takakazuabe1 May 10 '24

If Hamas want a ceasefire so badly then why not help themselves by releasing the hostages and stop firing rocket?

Hamas accepted the last ceasefire proposal. Israel rejected it. The ceasefire included releasing the hostages.

Ā We can't forget that the local gaza population widely support hamas and had a big celebration on October 7th either.

Have you stopped to think why that would be the case, Gaz? Hint: Hamas is, defacto, the 70s PLO at this point, it's not a religious conflict. People don't like to have their land stolen from them. If someone from Britanny were to claim your land is theirs and expel you by force, I'd give you full support to take it back by any means necessary.

Of course atrocities were commited on October 7th, but after Israel is done in Gaza, Hamas will have enough new recruits to make October 7th look like a picnic party. Palestine belongs to the Palestinians, including Palestinian Jews, the solution, a one-state solution, should be inspired by the GFA. Let the cycle of hatred die out in a few generations.

u/TheGhostOfTaPower Belfast May 10 '24

Hamas literally signed the deal to release the hostages before Israel started bombing them again.

You just enjoy them killing brown Muslims, donā€™t you Gaz?

u/Gazmac_868855 May 10 '24

u/Cu-Uladh May 10 '24

The main IDF HQ is in a shopping mall and thereā€™s plenty of videos showing IDF soldiers using human shields

2

u/TheGhostOfTaPower Belfast May 10 '24

Thereā€™s actually no proof beyond the IDF that Hamas have ever used human shields.

There headquarters were also NOT in the hospital, which was proved.

What was proved was hundreds of patients, medical staff, women and children removed from mass graves, with their hands zip-tied after being massacred by the IDF.

Also, yes, Hamas agreed to release hostages just before Israel entered Rafah.

You cannot justify the murder of 40,000 people for under one hundred hostages. Also, Israel has killed more of the hostages than Hamas has.

7

u/devenirimmortel96 May 10 '24

No they did not, they signed a deal that was not agreed with Israel which stated they would release the dead bodies of the hostages and did not agree to the ceasefire deal arranged with Israel, which was incredibly generous.

u/Status-Rooster-5268 May 10 '24

You're an absolute clown, the deal Hamas agreed to was for the release of 30-50 convicted palestinians (who have been put through trial) for every single hostage corpse returned, and a temporary ceasefire because you're damn right they'll build up to launch more terror attacks in the region. Also using the term "genocide" where the ratio of civilian to militant deaths is one of the lowest in world history is crazy. But keep crying for all those 17 year 364 day old babies who are innocently involved with a proscribed terror cell which has been a blight on the region since its existence.

Gaza NEEDS taken over, at this point North Korea would be better handling it than giving it to the overwhelming pro-Hamas population.

I would absolutely fucking hate being like a moderate Unionist in NI who genuinely believes in some form of moderate rational position within the Union. Your entire representative base is incoherently deranged shitheads. Like, I'm genuinely kind of sympathetic to real rational Unionists who aren't insane.

The moderate unionist take from Doug Beattie and the UUP is exactly that though: moderate and rational rather than incoherent or deranged.

u/FlyingTreeSquirrel May 09 '24

The DUP MLAs voted against it as they said that the international court of justice was asked by another country had Israel commited genocide and it was ruled that they haven't and they are following the Geneva convention. The DUP also stated that there could be no defending the death of all the innocent people.

Even the ones who supported the ceasfire resolution were highly disappointing. They all towed the line of condemning Hamas, and centred Netanyahu and Likud in an attempt to make them look like some random aberration, and not in fact, a reflection of the true nature of "Israeli" society.

I used to like Naomi Long. However, I went looking for any statements she issued on what is happening. One tweet, that was all I could find, and it was as passive as one could imagine. No one was mentioned by name, and "I'm praying for peace on both sides." That, and the Alliance Party as an organisation, its representatives and membership have not said a word up until now regarding Palestine, and it's quite frankly disgusted me.

u/denk2mit May 09 '24

Itā€™s ironic to hear the side that so often claims that not all Palestinians support Hamas that all Israelis with the brush of supporting Netanyahu when, unlike Palestine, there are free and fair elections to prove that not even a majority of Israelis support him.

Calm down. Of course Unionists will not vote against a nation defending itself from a terror attack.

This doesnā€™t make them baby murderers or complicit in this war. Hamas did actually murder babies. The IDF will surely have killed a bunch too. They have nothing to do with NI. We have enough faux outrage and whataboutery as it is.

Because Israel is a racist state that even went and sterilised 30,000 black Ethiopian Jews with members who are in Netanyahuā€™s government saying Africans were incompatible with the Zionist movement.

u/HappyHeathan May 10 '24

Here is what I know about this war:

1 - the IDF use AI to identify targets 2 - they consider it ok to kill 20 civilians to take out a low level hamas operative 3 - they are stopping aid getting delivered as a strategy to starve hamas out and break their will. Which is causing the region to fall into famine 4 - the IDF are refusing access to journalists and independent bodies to monitor and report on what is happening in the war zone 5 - the percentage of woman and children killed far surpasses men of fighting age. 6 - the number of children killed in Gaza far outweighs any other conflict in history

I could go on and on but you know what I'm not wasting time arguing with idiots on the internet. If you support the war and think it's fine to kill 20 civilians to take out 1 hamas fighter you are a cunt.

u/Miggyluv May 10 '24

They're not murdering children you idiot. Would you have believed the old "Jews eat babies" thing that people used to think too? Do some basic research and stop getting your news from ThikTok.

I tell you who DID murder children though. Hamas. www.thisishamas.com

u/denk2mit May 09 '24

Itā€™s ironic that you simultaneously claim that Palestine is being ethnically cleansed (spoiler alert: itā€™s not) while also opposing Zionism, a policy that is inherently pro-ethnic cleansing.

u/denk2mit May 10 '24

Vladimir Putin and his criminal indictment for genocide disagrees

u/Gigachad_monarchist May 10 '24

As far as I know his war crimes aren't ethnic cleansing its kidnapping children, so its bad but not Israel bad

2

u/denk2mit May 10 '24

According to Article II of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide:

In this Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, as such: E, forced transfer of children from the group to another group.

So yeah, it's literally genocide.

u/Gigachad_monarchist May 10 '24

Genocide here isn't an ethnic cleansing of europeans though is it? He's not targetting all europeans and I couldn't truthfully wager his intention is to destroy the Ukrainian people either

u/denk2mit May 10 '24

It's crazy how absolutely desperate you are to defend a fascist dictator who's committing a genocide.

Really reinforces the belief that the pro-Palestine lobby really do only care about Western imperialism and give an absolute free pass to Russia and China.

u/Gigachad_monarchist May 10 '24

No 1) its very difficult to fully ascribe fascism to Putin, its far more monarchical than that. No 2) It is a very illogical jump to go from being against genocide of palestinians, to me being part of a formal lobbying system (that doesn't exist) to me being (ostensibly) anti west. No 3) It is a similarily far jump to accuse me of ignoring Western imperialism, I personally believe that the British Empire was one of the greatest things to happen for much of the planet. No 4) I am not defending Putin, I never said I was, I merely stated how while he may be genociding, it isn't necessarily an ethnic cleansing-this you can pin on autustic pedantry

1

u/denk2mit May 10 '24

Heā€™s a totalitarian dictator with a macho cult of personality and centralised control of the economy who maintains control through authoritarian methods while trying to rebuild empire. If you understand anything about systems of government then he is clearly a fascist.

But you know, keep lending him your support. Itā€™s a great look for you.

I meant the Europeans in israel, and do you know how many ukrani have been killed?

u/denk2mit May 10 '24

What has Europeans in Israel got to do with anything?

And no, not accurately, because while the UN are happy to take Hamasā€™ word for casualties in Gaza, they wonā€™t take into account Ukraineā€™s estimates in the occupied areas of their country. It seems likely that at least 70,000 died in Mariupol alone though, and that the total number is maybe as high as half a million. Plus an additional three quarters of a million children kidnapped and taken to Russia, a genocidal crime that Putin has been indicted for.

u/Affectionate-Sail971 May 10 '24

Discussion is about gaza and israel

It's not about hamas word, but the fact is that they have always been accurate.

Don't forget that Palestinian are issued apartide identity cards from Israeli government so Israel can actually verify that but they won't because it will make them look very bad.

Likewise Israel won't allow independent journalists in from around the world for exactly the same reasons, because as highly suspected the number is much higher because all those missing are obviously dead as well.

The death count with Ukraine and Russia is a different matter, because that is an actual war with 2 armies fighting for territory and both are playing propaganda each with full media systems behind them.

Whereas gaza is a captive population in israel surrounded by large prison walls, with no army ports, airports, large population in very small space, it's dropping bombs on fish in a barrel, israel control every aspect of their lives.

Also corridors into Russia for Ukrainians including children is not kidnapping, corridors were opened in both directions and those people will be released.

2

u/denk2mit May 10 '24

It's wild how quick you are to dismiss one genocide to reinforce your supposed claims of another. Putin has been indicted by the International Criminal Court for 'unlawful deportation of population (children) and that of unlawful transfer of population (children) from occupied areas of Ukraine to the Russian Federation,' which under Article II of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide clearly constitutes genocide. Russia is committing genocide, and no amount of flapping about to make excuses for fascist dictators will get past that.

Not sure how identity cards have anything to do with this: they don't magically record when the owner is killed, or what they were doing when they were killed.

As for whether or not it's a war: Hamas refusing to wear a uniform and using the civilian population to hide behind doesn't make it any less a war.

-1

u/Affectionate-Sail971 May 10 '24

I do not believe that Russia has ill intent to Ukrainian from the occupied territory on the contrary I think he believes they're Russian citizens and removal of people happen in both directions.

But I can be honest and say I didn't know this was considered genocide but again I believe that these people were removed for safety.

Re gaza it has nothing to do with a uniform, Palestine is not a separate country like you're making out. It's controlled in every single way possible by israel.

It has gun towers on the people, it's a captive population and it's most densley packed, by design, by israel.

It's not a war. A war is 2 armies, 2 countries Hamas is not an army it's farmers with aks.

Why do you dispute the dead? Do you really think that is less, yes or no?

Why won't israel let independent journalists on to easily readily verify this, if its a lie?

Even reporters from their allies?

You know why

Two million Muslims currently in Chinese concentration camps. Three quarter of a million Ukrainian children kidnapped by Russia in the past two years. Half a million dead in Darfur a conflict thatā€™s ongoing. A million people killed in only a few days in Rwanda not that long ago. East Timor. Kosovo. Guatemala. Congo. Croatia.
