Wow. Gross.

Have all the hostages taken from Israel now been returned?

No. A terror organization holding hostages does not justify massacring tens of thousands of innocent, unarmed Palestinian civilians in an orgiastic campaign of genocidal vengeance.

Return of ALL hostages would, IMO, be a mandatory first step in reaching a cease fire agreement. That's all I was saying.
Urban warfare results in many innocent lives being lost. As I view it, it is a religious based war between family members.

Religion has practically nothing to do with it. It is an inter-ethnic territorial dispute, and we are arming the aggressor with our most advanced weaponry for free. At least when cynical neo-colonial countries like France arm governments to commit genocides, they extract economic, resource and trade concessions for doing so. We are giving the Israelis bombs to kill Gazans at the American taxpayer’s expense.

Seems our opinions differ greatly. Religion has practically nothing to do with it?

Superficially. At most. Israel is an ethno-nationalist colonial project. Not a religious one. The founders of the state of Israel were mainly secular and in some cases outright atheist ethnic Jews.

I wouldn't disagree with what you say about Israel in the above.

Excellent move by Rubio. The UN and its #special rapporteur and dedicated to the destruction of Israel. T kime for democracies to create a new organisation, not controled by Jew haters.

 

[multivita-man]

Wow. Gross.

I saw this and reacted with disgust. I am so ****ing sick of the stranglehold that Israel and the pro-Israel lobby has over this country. If it's not this, it's trying to destroy academic freedom at our colleges and universities because antisemitism.

Francesca Albanese, appointed in May 2022 as the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, has long coopted antisemitic tropes and legitimized support of terrorism in her critiques of Israel, using her platform to spread intense anti-Israel rhetoric. She is the first Special Rapporteur to be condemned by both Germany and France for antisemitism and was condemned by then U.S. Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism Deborah Lipstadt, then U.S. Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield, and then U.S. Ambassador to the UN Human Rights Council, Michèle Taylor. In April 2025, the UN Human Rights Council renewed Albanese’s term for another three years without addressing any of the allegations against her- which included opposition from Jewish groups, the US, Israel, Argentina, the Netherlands and Hungary, as well as lawmakers in the US, France, the UK, and the Netherlands.

• In 2014, in a post since hidden from her Facebook page, Albanese employs antisemitic tropes in an open letter to the BBC stating that: “The Israeli lobby is clearly inside your veins and system,” claiming of an “orwellian [sic] nightmare caused once again by Israel’s greed.”

• In 2014, Albanese expressed excitement on Facebook that Hamas was removed from the list of terror organizations by the EU General Court: “Two good news one after another from the radio while I was taking a nap. Normalization in the relations usa cuba [sic] and removal of hamas [sic] from the list of terror organizations. Was i [sic] dreaming???” The EU’s decision to declassify Hamas as a terrorist organization was overturned by the European Court of Justice (EJC) in 2017.

• In 2014, Albanese stated: “America and Europe, one of them subjugated by the Jewish lobby, and the other by the sense of guilt about the Holocaust.” When uncovered in 2022, Albanese’s comments were condemned by US Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism, Deborah Lipstadt as “blatantly antisemitic.” Albanese has since said that she regrets this remark.

Maybe the time is for a US government not controlled by zionists?

I like my idea better.

C'mon. Freedom of speech unless its something against the "chosen". You know that.

 

[reinaert]

I guess on the upside, Bibi's gamble (aided by Trump, Rubio and the Congressional Dems) has made Israel into an all-or-nothing project openly committed to genocide. Gonna be super hard to argue otherwise once this finally sorts out at the Hague.

 

[ModernDiogenes]

No. A terror organization holding hostages does not justify massacring tens of thousands of innocent, unarmed Palestinian civilians in an orgiastic campaign of genocidal vengeance.

It depends.

If I have someone shooting at me from behind a screen of humanity and they won’t stop, and I announce to these people, “Hey, you better get out of the way because I’m tired of being shot at and I’m going to start shooting back. I’m giving you a day to move, but after that I’m shooting through you to get to them if I have to. Just saying.”, they better know that in 24 hours I’m going to start shooting. I won’t want to hurt anyone who wasn’t trying to hurt me, and I’ll try hard and aim carefully, but if it’s the only way I can get to those who are hurting me…

It’s far from perfect, and it will be my last resort, but if everything else has failed at some point I’m protecting myself. There are limits.

Netanyahu says "jump," Trump asks "How high?" Ultimately Rubio is moved like a piece on a chessboard to go after Francesca Albanese and by extension the UN. No different than going after ICC judges, the intention is "retribution" for having the audacity to question Israel killing just about anyone they can find in Gaza.

You're just angry that a rabid Jew hater labeled as a Jew hater by European countries and not just the US for her over-the-top Jew hating comments gets sanctioned.

I am not angry at all, more disappointed to see such support for genocide to the point of going after anyone that dares speak about what Israel is doing.

Ah yes, evil France going after Francesca Albanese calling her antisemitic for no reason at all, nothing to do with her blatant Jew hating comments.
You're like a white person who really hates black people getting angry that the KKK-supporting official of some international body is sanctioned.

About the worst combination of projection and conjecture I've seen in years, I'm still not angry, and note you are the only party in this conversation trying to make it personal.

There's nothing personal here, you just admit you support someone who has made blatantly antisemitic remarks and her appointment opposed by a long list of countries that do not appreciate Jew hatred the way that you do.

I do not have to admit what you ask for, the false dilemma is noted as well as the falsehood that I "appreciate Jew hatred." (BTW, that is making it personal.)

You've reached the point of ranting and raving and it is both obvious and worthless.

The fact remains, no matter how much or which of her comments you do not like, that the Trump Administration going after Francesca Albanese is more an admittance of Israel's guilt of genocide than some wise move of political power. It is not going to shut anyone up, if anything make it worse internationally speaking.

Does not matter if you cling to the term antisemitic or you go with Rubio's "campaign of political and economic warfare against the United States and Israel" the only thing that is happening is appeasing Netanyahu's blood-thirsty attitude of killing anyone they can get their hands on in Gaza. Unarmed, women, children, does not matter to Israel and Albanese is right to be critical of Israel's military campaign all without having any basis in "Jew hatred" (as you put it.)

Your arguments are kin to modern liberalism throwing down transphobic anytime anyone dares to suggest something contrary to their arguments.

A "cease fire" cause this is totally a war.
