Trevor Noah slammed for suggesting Israel not defend itself: 'You're downplaying the trauma of millions'

[Cosmik Debris]

I'm not defending the IDF, please quote where I defend what Hamas has done?

You're omitting to criticise Hamas. Common lefty tactic - Omission.

 

[Cosmik Debris]

You would have to demonstrate some ability rather than talking a good game.

How would you like me to do that on an internet forum? Could an engineer prove his qualifications on an internet forum too? If you don't believe anything, you have to stew in that.

Yes, even a rocket scientist could do it.

Trevor Noah slammed for suggesting Israel not defend itself: 'You're downplaying the trauma of millions'

Left-wing comedian Trevor Noah was the focus of intense criticism this week following a segment on his Wednesday show in which he criticized Israel's handling of the ongoing conflict with Hamas.

www.foxnews.com

What a dunce. He has become very unfunny and trying to to be relevant.
He should stick to comedy and that talk show of his too. Bit stupid and naive to believe Israel won't defend itself. I mean they're getting attacked by 2 terrorist organisations. Would he be happy with 100s of Jews dying? Would we hear another boring monologue about how the Israelis need to be praised now for letting their people die?
Dunce...total dunce!

How many rockets did the 10 children launch into Israel?

If you believe that you're a fool.

Did you bother to read the whole thread? When was the last time you criticized Israel in these threads?

I wasn't disputing that Hamas is a terrorist organization, I was disputing that they are in control of the AP. Unless there is someone from Hamas telling them what stories to write they are not under control, not free and heavily censored but it's not the same thing as being controlled by them.

Hopefully, there will be an independent review of what happened...

Associated Press chief calls for independent inquiry into Israel bombing of its Gaza office

AP chief Sally Buzbee says she has no evidence from Israeli officials to justify attack on 12-storey building housing international media organisations

www.theguardian.com

Again, if it turns out Hamas was, in fact, operating from there then the bombing is understandable.

Hamas are launching rockets...

The IDF bombed a building with two major press houses who are covering the conflict...

You are the one that linked these two activities, not me. I have condemned the rocket attacks against civilians, have you condemned Israel launching bombing missions against building such as the above?

Hamas are a bunch of crazies, no argument from me. But their whole MO is to blend with the Palestinian population, a Hamas member who went around dressed like a militant wouldn't last very long. If you want to keep a paramilitary/terrorist organization secret, you don't generally go around putting up flyers when you set up new offices.

But just in case that isn't enough for you, Hamas targeting civilians population areas with unguided rockets is despicable and they deserve every retaliatory strike they receive, that doesn't mean I think Palestinian civilian lives should just be disregarded because they are forced to live in the same city as Hamas.

With a name like Gore-Pike she belongs on a 14th century battlefield, not the 21st.

Welcome to your preliminary introduction to @Cosmik Debris

We hope you enjoy your time together.... don't except the dynamic to change in the slightest.

 

[Cosmik Debris]

One paragraph, please describe your knowledge of the trade and how you came about it.

20 Years experience in the SADF / SANDF and relevant courses all those requiring promotion do. Good enough?

Thank you.

What do the other 999 999 US soldiers think?

Palestinians need to be heard? What about, that they're firing rockets into Israel defending itself?


Trevor and this one deserves one another, no wonder she cries.

 

[We Love Bass]

I think you will get slammed no matter what you say about Israel.

 

[Cosmik Debris]

I would just like to point out that soldiers are not supposed to have the right to have political opinions when in service last I checked.....

Correct. Which means she would be subject to a prison sentence like Chelsea Manning.
Quite possible she's not a military member then.

 

[Cosmik Debris]

Depends on the opinion.

Space Force commander fired after comments he made on a conservative podcast - CNN Video

A Space Force commander has been removed from his post following claims he made on a conservative podcast. CNN's Jim Acosta reports Lt. Col. Matthew Lohmeier made the comment that Marxist ideologies are invading the US military on "The Steve Gruber Show," and did not immediately respond to CNN's...

No soldier is allowed to express political opinions privately or in public. The penalties are severe.

 

[Cosmik Debris]

They are allowed to express personal political opinions, they are just not allowed to express opinions on behalf of the army..

https://www.thebalancecareers.com/military-folks-and-politics-3332818

In the SADF, SANDF and British military personal political opinions are expressly forbidden. Private or public and the penalties are severe. The sole political privilege of a soldier is to cast their vote. No political meetings may be attended in uniform and if attending no opinion may be expressed. Only the message may be received.

I'm sure the Yanks frown on opinions too.

Funny, not seeing any anti-Palestine protests around the world.

None of it's funny. Plus nobody would demonstrate against Palestine who are the victims here of Hamas and Zionists

Strangely the official DOD website disagrees with you..

https://www.defense.gov/ask-us/faq/...icy-for-participating-in-political-campaigns/

Under DOD Directive 1344.10, members of the armed forces who are on active duty are permitted to express their personal opinions on political candidates, make a monetary contribution to a campaign, sign a petition to place a candidate's name on the ballot, and attend a political event as a spectator

While active military members can and should register to vote and cast votes, and may express a personal opinion on political candidates and issues, they can't express opinions on behalf of or as a representative of the U.S. military.

Ambiguous statement. As a member of the military. As members of a military all soldiers represent the military.

That I can understand, especially the uniform part.

Might be frowned upon, but they are allowed to do it.

Read post #569. The DOD unambiguously says they are allowed to express political opinions.
