  • Binoy, an excellent dissection of the self-serving, utterly unconvincing ‘investigation’ into a despicable, wicked act of wilful assassination by the genocidal IDF. This is another example of a cowardly, bungling group off state-sanctioned butchers continuing the dirty work of exterminating a population under the transparently dishonest claim of targeting the resistance group, Hamas.It is beyond my understanding that our national leaders will still not join in the international condemnation of Israel and the murderous IDF.

  • A further issue is the claim that this was a combat zone where prior notification would been required - except that's a lie. The IDF only declared it a combat zone over three hours after the aid workers were killed. Also, as I understand it, the Israelis originally claimed there were nine "Hamas terrorists", revised that down to six and then named just one, Mohammad Amin Ibrahim Shubaki. But he wasn't among the dead. Nor was any evidence provided by the IDF of any "Hamas terrorists" which, by the way, was a claim made after the killing.

  • Little wonder the jaundiced coloured freak gets on so well with Bibi the Butcher..and others of a similar bent.No shame,no conscience,no memory, and no idea of the repercussions looming on the near horizon.
    Never imagined I'd be present for the end of civilisation.

  • The most exact definition of the Zionist movement, and its actions, is organised criminals, and the IDF forces recruited for this life of crime are simply thugs.
    Their statements on resulting ethnic cleansing, and genocide carry no weight as acceptable evidence since a large part of their crimes involve killing journalists who have solid evidence to counter IDF claims.
    The one huge lie at the seat of this conflict is the fact that the Hamas breakout was a surprise, and the longer an independent enquiry is delayed the more evidence we have that this conflict was carefully scripted by the Zionist organized crime gang.
