Michael Higgins: New poll shows Palestinians are the impediment to peace — not Israel's war

Not banned for a 'point of view' or opinion but for numerous transgressions of site T&C's.

Express your opinion as you see fit, I don't really care.

But calling getting repeatedly banned from a relatively obscure message board for ignoring and contravening site T&C's is NOT a 'badge of honour'.

Packing your bags and going to fight on the frontline is a 'badge of honour'.
Going over the top and putting your life on the line for your family, friend, country, beliefs is a 'badge of honour'.

Put things in perspective and #ing grow up.

A must read article for everyone. The freed hostages report how so called 'civilian Palestinians' kidnapped Israelies and held them hostage, etc etc.

You can not separate Hamas from the Palestinians. They are one in the same.

Gazan "Civilians" Involved in Every Stage of Hamas Hostage Scheme Released Israelis Reveal

Gazan 'Civilians' Involved in Every Stage of Hamas Hostage Scheme, Freed Israelis Say.

In primetime Hebrew TV interviews, the released hostages have confirmed that ordinary Gazans were deeply complicit in every stage of the hostage scheme. Unarmed teens helped to abduct Jews from their homes on Oct. 7, while Gazan women and children held some of the Israelis captive. In other cases, Gazan doctors collaborated with Hamas terrorists to covertly treat kidnapped Israelis and imprison them in hospitals. When the Israelis encountered Gazans on the streets, the results were often terrifying.

"The main issue is that the organization is very much melted into the social structure of Gaza," Michael Milshtein, a former senior Israeli military intelligence officer and a leading expert on Hamas, told the Washington Free Beacon. "There is no way you can really know who is Hamas. Someone might have a grocery store where he sells tomatoes and water, but he might also have storehouse of weapons and give religious lessons there. And his wife and kids might be keeping an Israeli hostage at home. "Hamas is not only a political matter in Gaza. It's a way of life,"

"I experienced hell. Everyone there are terrorists," Schem said in a separate interview on Israel's Channel 13. "There are no innocent civilians, not one."
