    Bomb the manger on Christmas…

    Is isreal really that oblivious to world opinion and how it might affect them? Seems that way…

      They’re not oblivious, they just don’t care because they know there won’t be any consequences. And those few who dare to say anything are “antisemite” for not supporting genocide.

        They’re the narcissist grandma of international politics: hiding in plain sight, they can get away with anything and everyone else will make excuses for their bad behavior

      Realistically, who is going to interfere? US and Russia are tied up in Ukraine, China and EU want to stay out, Modi’s India supports Israel. World opinion could get much worse and nothing would happen, Yemen being the only exception so far.

        The US isn’t tied up, they actively support Israel with money and weapons. They have a aircraft carrier group parked just outside Israel to send a clear message that no other country can intervene or the US will protect israel. Biden even calls himself a Zionist.

        Modi actively supported Trump and Trump policies. Look past his image and see the Indian Trump

        Just a small correction: In the EU and the US we are happily supporting Israel.

              Yeah, plenty of us fucking do

              Genocide is bad. Supporting genocide unequivocally makes you an awful human being, and any just God would punish you with eternal damnation.

                Bringing god in a discussion is such a 16th century farmer move. You surprised me. Shall we discuss the motion of the planets too? Spoiler alert: the heliocentric system is possibly made up.

              What a sad attempt at trolling. Repeat after me, the ethnonationalist settler colony of Israel is conducting a genocide on the Palestinian people.

        You can’t claim the US is simultaneously not frayed by the Ukraine issue and “tied up in Ukraine” WHILE sending billions of weapons to Israel

      You do realize Christmas is not a holiday there? Do you think USA made ceasefire on Ramadan? Same thing. It’s Muslims and Jews there, some Christians, but most of them live in Israel not Gaza because Hamas abused them so much.

        You do realise that’s not what the person above said. What the people actually worship in Bethlehem itself means Jack shit to the opinion of the wider world that Bethlehem, the birthplace of the saviour of the Wests biggest religion, was attacked by Israeli forces on the date celebrated as his birthday.

        That’s like saying that the US military would honor a ceasefire on the Vietnamese holiday, “Tet” during the Vietnam War. Oh wait, we did (until they broke it with the Tet Offensive)

        The Christians in Bethlehem already cancelled Christmas and put baby Jesus in a burial shroud as a protest…

      They(the ones who liked crusades and auch) probably want Bethlehem taken back from the “heathens” and returned properly to “gods chosen people” or something.

    Palestine doesn’t have many Christians but imagine being one of them and having your family killed for Christmas.
