In the light of the news that Israel may be releasing 150, erm, “hostages” in return for the release of 50 Israeli (actual) hostages, Kay Burley of Sky News may have been responsible for a potential space catastrophe by asking :
Does Israel not think that Palestinian lives are valued as highly as Israeli lives?
You can see the full question here
If Israel really cared, I mean really cared about Palestinian lives, you see, they’d only release 50 convicted criminals hostages. But, obviously, Israel thinks an Israeli life is worth 3 Palestinian lives, at least. They’d have released more, but they didn’t want to be seen to be too bigoted.
What in the everloving fuck, wearing “you’ve got to be fucking kidding me” knickers, kind of question was that?
Seriously, I mean seriously, what the holy fuck is wrong with these people?
Here’s the wise words of Billy Connolly and they’re so appropriate for media personalities like Burley and her ilk.
If Israel acted against the arabs the way the arabs - especially palestinian ones - have always acted against jews, Gaza would be a parking lot by now.
It's shameful to see how many who uses the palestinian arabs relentless campaign of terror and murder and rape as a safe vent for their hatred of jews.
There's plenty to criticise Israel for - allowing US-backed settlers to steal land f.e. - but one can do that without defending Hamas or rationalising their systemic and genocidal campaigns.
Also, consider this: how many millions of german civilians died from british and american bombing campaigns targetting cities? How many civilian serbs died from US bombs? How many arabs in Irak? How many afghan civilians did the US kill?
If Israel is to be critisised because the civilians Hamas hide behind die, are not the US and Britain also guilty of the same?
To the jew-hating general Left, Right and Centre - that's completely different, apparently.
My reaction to that ignorant remark was exactly the same...WHAT THE FUCK?? She must have really flipped her fucking mind when Israel released 1027 prisoners in exchange for just one, Gilad Shalit. And that decision is biting Israel in the ass to this day. Yehya Sinwar was one of those prisoners released on October 18, 2011.
Yehya Sinwar is the mastermind behind the terrorist attack on October 7, 2023, when countless fighters of the militant group Hamas crossed the border from the Gaza Strip into Israel, killing more than 1,200 people and abducting around 240. The most senior Hamas leader in the Gaza Strip is currently one of Israel's most wanted men.
Yeah...exchanging violent prisoners for INNOCENT HOSTAGES isn't always a great idea.
