Israel-Palestine

[Del Woppio]

The political voting from the judges has obviously always been there. My point is that the public vote has too much influence on the end result, and each phone having 20 votes creates problems. The Ukraine situation was obviously the same - sympathetic members of the public across Europe. What sticks in the craw somewhat, is that you can kind of shrug and let the sympathy vote win when it's for a country that's just been invaded by a hostile power, even though Sam should have won, you can let them have a bit of a boost.

It's less understandable when it's basically a reward for killing 20,000 brown children

What was the reward? Israel didn't win

I can't be arsed, you know full well what's meant and it's not important.

Only just seen this, but it's weasel words and is meaningless if nothing actually happens.

State and private actors would never manipulate any vote or other data manually or by computer. No, never been done and therefore cannot be done. LOL.

eg, Were there demands for investigations and audits when Ukraine won, largely from a sympathy vote in the wake of the Russian invasion?

Israel is not the victim

Innocent Israelis and Palestinians are both victims.

Do you think Israel deserve similar sympathy?

I dont know. Whats the threshold?

If 1200 innocent people murdered in a single day isnt worthy of sympathy then what is?

Its not a zero sum game.

How many innocent Germans died in the second world war?

And when the response is to kill 60x that many people by way of revenge...?

Suggesting Ukraine and Israel is a fair comparison is....interesting.

It´s not a zero sum game or a deadly numbers game due to events on one sad and awful day.
The full context of a progressive Zionist invasion of someone else´s land (followed by other people) since the Balfour Declaration in 1917 is the big issue.
Yes, there was an element of a territorial reward for financial support in WW1 and the diabolical Holocaust BUT, if we as a human civilisation are going to carry on accommodating violent invasions and their consequential events then we ain´t going anywhere as a human race.
