Biden now publicly saying will not supply weapons to Israel if they do this Rafah invasion. He needs to act tough for the sake of the region, but also for his own electoral chances. 

Only certain weapons I believe. Still delivering the others

yes, I mean I'm sure Israel have enough in stock to do what need to do in Rafah...but it is the symbolism...US support not unconditional. Netanyahu has a choice, give in to US and international pressure and risk his coalition falling apart and elections and probably his downfall., or carry on and do a big f**k you to the world.

[steviewevie]

and might become a US election issue...

Israel has left the UN. Pathetic really.

Israel go into Rafah whilst everyone is distracted by eurovision.

no, Hamas attack Israel while everyone is distracted by Eurovision: Israel wins Eurovision.

I would say this but locking the Eurovision thread is lame. The Israel situation is the biggest part of it whether people like it or not.

Bickering? Seriously wtf. Whatever the day it is, it is the main story of Eurovision. We were arguing whether Israel should be in the competition, but I guess that isn't allowed in this glittery pretend everything is ok world.

ok ill rephrase ... Locked while the Mods look at a report thats come in

Most of us weren't even arguing, just discussing. Only one person resorted to getting toxic.

You said that the deaths of thousands of children were good and are now drawing up your knickers and are calling me toxic because I called you a c**t.

[steviewevie]

Eurovision public vote, Israel get 323, UK zero.

Discuss.

Wow, you truly are the White Knight Gaza needs, lol.

 

But no, no I didn't say that.

 

You're one of those people who focus on the semantics of a single adjective and completely miss the point of what I was saying. 

 

I hope everyone here is more intelligent than your portrayal of what I said, because that's one of the dumbest takes I've sever seen on these boards.

 

Even dumber than your Pro Putin bizarre world comment.

 

Honestly, the people running cover for a terrorist organisation and using a terrorist organisation's "official" numbers and believing them is mind-blowing.

 

Now let's here an actual argument instead of weird Instagram/X gotcha-quips.

I think her ability to perform so well given the anti-Semitism going on outside and sympathisers for a terrorist organisation is pretty amazing.

They were protesting about what Israel is doing in Gaza...unless you think that is all being exaggerated by an antisemitic media and an antisemitic UN.

[HotChipWillBreakYourLegs]

Protesting against the genocide is neither sympathy for terrorism nor antisemitism.

[lost]

Thats the way both sides think sadly. One side think a 20 year old girl is responsible for the israeli governments actions the other all palestinians responsible for the actions of Hamas.

I would say that he is winning at the moment....but maybe they're going for a change of leadership before a big push over the summer?
