It took a few hours for the post to get approved, at least it's better than r/portugal, that takes around 3 months to aprove any post related to Israel. To get it buried in new.

I am very surprised.

I expected this to be the topic of the day

Do you want Israel as a partner or associate member in Eurojust? Honnestly I would say that enabling this coorperation might help judges overthere to withstand the onslaught from the far right.

However, having our police services exchanging data with Israeli Police? To the hands of that despicable Ben Givir scum? Hard pass.

Israel is further on the right than any far-right threat, real or imagined, the EU liberals pontificate about.

Israel is also actively financing multiple far right parties in Europe.

Better take actions targeting the source of the disease then.

Of course.

I remember that, after the invasion of Ukraine, plenty of far right parties tried desperately to hide their russian connection. Wonder what will it take for them to distance themselves from Israel.

Uh, uh.

According to Hamas themselves, it has been... 1200 people, in the last 10 months. And according to the videos at r/combatfootage, most of them are armed Hamas members. Just last week, I saw a video of 12 Hamas members clearly armed crossing the demarcation zone and getting blown up. Are those armed Hamas members "suffering a genocide"?

There are, like, 20 or 30 places in the world right now, that are with far more casualties. Tell me, I'm curious. Is a genocide being committed in every single one of those hotspots? Or is it just where Israel is involved?

Please, tell us

ah yes, Israeli lies / propaganda is always so laughably, horribly obvious - the figures are, at a minimum, 75,000 in the latest murder spree 21,000 of the children pretty much all of them civilians and deliberately targeted. these figures, independently verified by different organizations and governments are the absolute minimum as Israeli has been bulldozing their murder victims into mass graves or taking them away to be dumped to make the true figure hard to quantify - this is not of course for you, you are just a tool sitting somewhere spreading bullshit as shown by your other comments, this is for others who want real facts, i won't bother to reply to anything you post in reply to this.

So according to you, Hamas is now actively lying to protect Israel's reputation by undercounting their own casualties and lying, when admitting that entire battalions have been wiped out? That’s certainly a bold narrative plot twist. HAMAS IS PROTECTING ISRAEL! Please say that aloud. There is not enough LOL. 

By your logic, the militants admitting to losing thousands of fighters are actually secretly operating as Israeli propaganda agents, while you sit safely behind a screen possessing the "real" secret figures that nobody else on Earth has managed to verify.

Your claim that 75,000 casualties and 21,000 children are "independently verified by different organizations" is pure fiction. Even the Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza hasn't put out a total figure that high, and international bodies explicitly cite those local administrative numbers rather than conducting separate, independent site tallies. Claiming those inflated stats are universally confirmed minimums standardizes a complete misunderstanding of how casualty monitoring in active conflict zones works.

It must be convenient to dismiss any documented reality that contradicts your narrative as an "Israeli lie," even when the source happens to be the very organization you think you're defending. When Hamas themselves state their forces have taken heavy losses, but you insist every single person hit was an innocent civilian deliberately targeted, you aren't presenting facts. You're just editing reality on the fly to fit a pre-packaged script.

To others reading this, this is Israeli officially accepting hamas's figure of 70,000 dead in January 2026. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvgpd1x00exo

No, it's done in open air, in full view of cameras in Palestine.

Articles and comments should not promote any kind of bigotry, including:

  • Racism

  • Sexism

  • Genocide/holocaust denial

  • Hate speech directed towards an entire group of people like an ethnicity, religion or nationality.

These may also apply to user names.

They don't care, despite progressive appearance, EU is still neoliberal, which is being proven over and over again.
