1. To be fair, that's a crime that the UK has been guilty of in its time. During WW2 there was a lot of effort put in to stop food getting to Germany, by sea at any rate. Fortunately the EU and UN weren't around to tell Churchill it was wrong. Have Israel actively cut off the power and...

The laws on provision for the basic needs of the population can't apply yet, because Israel isn't in control of Gaza. If and when Hamas surrenders, then Israel will be in control and will have the chance to look after the population if they want to. They can't do it now. It needs to be...

True enough, Hamas is only the government of Gaza. The rest of Palestine seems to be keeping out of it. I didn't suggest that Israel should leave Hamas in charge and let Palestine fend for itself, I only said that it is an option (if they decide for whatever reason not to pursue Hamas to the...

Hamas are the government of Palestine. It's a sad truth that they do represent ordinary Palestinians, whether the ordinary Palestinians want them to or not. There is no means of com[promise between the man who wants a baby dead, and a man who wants a baby to live. They cannot both have just...

Does Hamas want a ceasefire? Isn't that what they tried to do in 2005 when Israel pulled out of Gaza?

I don't think it's an extreme viewpoint to say that peace and security is not possible if Hamas are still in power. Hamas is an organisation dedicated to the murder of Jews, as the events of a fortnight ago brought into stark focus. The reason their border with Israel is restricted is obvious...

I wouldn't be so sure. Hitler was not the only German, and there were plenty of Germans who supported him. If Hitler had not been there, another leader would have emerged from the rabble who followed his policies and led the country, perhaps more competently than Hitler did, and caused the war...

Of course, if they were to fight under the Geneva Convention, then any and all Hamas prisoners in Israel could be shot immediately (enemy fighters on foreign soil not in uniform) while all the Israeli prisoners in Palestine - yes, even the old men and the babies - would be instantly released...

Unless they were storing other missiles at the hospital. I think we can be sure Israel didn't deliberately target the hospital. Unless they had another massive intelligence failure, it must have been a misfire from somewhere - unless Hamas did it themselves. Almost nothing can be ruled out.

I was in Israel in 2012 and Jerusalem was the capital then. Not sure that one can be pinned on Trump!

I don't quite see how Hamas can be keeping Islamic fundamental jihadistic terrorists from the borders. Hamas are Islamic fundamental jihadistic terrorists.

Professional offence-takers strike again. A tenuous and (as it turns out) imaginary link to a Jew in a Shakespeare play can't be a reason to sack someone.

That's good news. It's nice to know that they were only shooting dozens of bullets into babies, and not beheading them. Seen the Daily Telegraph (and I dare say other papers) this morning?

When Hamas surrenders, then Palestine can get on with its life. Hamas is Nazi Germany, small scale. They kill Jews, they kill homosexuals, they kill anyone they don't like. they don't have elections, they continually run small scale (ie. omly murdering one or two) incursions and rockets...

The surprise shouldn't be that Israel is no longer supplying power to the West Bank after Hamas has officially declared war, it should be that Israel was supplying power when the war was lower key and unofficial.

Giving Hamas time to surrender, perhaps. They must have leaders on the ground who can turn a deaf ear to orders from the puppet masters in Qatar.

For someone who is not trying to belittle anyone, you're aren't succeeding. Every line of your post is saying that you believe yourself to be a better person than people with different opinions - which, as I said, is more than half the world. Other people do respect other people's opinions...

I know it's a common way of saying "I am clever and you are stupid", but referring to God as a fairy is of course very insulting. Yes, it may be that you are right and the majority of the world is wrong, but there are ways and means of saying so, and those ways and means do not have to be...

Among all the talk of Israel being an apartheid state, it might be worth asking the question: Who is safer - a Moslem living in Israel, or a Jew living in Palestine?

There seems to be a lot of people who think that Israel should continue to supply the Gaza Strip with power and other essentials? They're at war. Britain didn't trade with Nazi Germany during WW2, and made little or no attempt to protect the German people from the Nazi government. The only...
