payasam Posted August 13, 2014 Share #1 Posted August 13, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) On Saturday there was a large meeting in Delhi to protest the continuing Israeli attacks on Gaza. As this photo shows, there was special concern for children killed or maimed. Welcome, dear visitor!

MarkP Posted August 13, 2014 Share #2 Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) Hmm. Great to see that woman and the large non-political and humanist poster also condemning Hamas for it's complete disregard for the lives of Israeli and Palestinian civilians.

payasam Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share #3 Posted August 13, 2014 No idea what that means. However, I do see an unwanted apostrophe. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkP Posted August 14, 2014 Share #5 Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) But did you like the photo? Oh ye,s it is a photo forum The photo is fine catching the similarity between both the woman and the man in the poster.

MarkP Posted August 14, 2014 Share #6 Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) No idea what that means. However, I do see an unwanted apostrophe. I think it's obvious what I mean - I don't see any criticism of Hamas regarding the disregard for the welfare of even their own people. Sorry about the ectopic apostrophe .

payasam Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share #7 Posted August 15, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Plenty of other forums for that. Maybe even some for weak sarcasm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkP Posted August 15, 2014 Share #8 Posted August 15, 2014 (edited) So you can post a photograph with politically charged image and message but I should only comment on it's content elsewhere? Can I only discuss it's fine tonal range and sharpness? I have not questioned your right to post the photograph here but if you do so then wear the criticism of it's content or go post it in another forum. I stand by my comments above. These ongoing attacks target the legitimacy of Israel to exist and fuel antisemitism. I have relatives in Israel who were in and out of bomb shelters over this time, in fact for well before this latest conflict erupted. Any casualties of innocent civilians are unacceptable and distressing (note that the dodgy numbers from Hamas imply that all the deaths were of civilians and not fighters!) but I find accusations of genocide and comparison elsewhere to the Holocaust (where most of my parent's famlilies were exterminated) as deeply offensive. If Israel really wanted to commit genocide it would have flattened Gaza and it's population in hours. I don't agree with everything Israeli governments do and I strongly believe in the right of an independent Palestinian state that does not want to destroy Israel (as per Hamas' charter). Oh, and I didn't know that 'weak sarcasm' was against forum rules. I think that the mods may end up editing and/or closing this thread about now......

payasam Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share #9 Posted August 16, 2014 Would be simpler to remove your ranting, Sir, even though you have a divine right to misplace apostrophes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you find criticism and comparisons of israeli action deeply offensive, i wonder how one would feel wearing the shoes of a resident of Gaza? and before we add to the burn them at the stake mindset towards Hamas, please read through the Likud Charter regarding a Palestinian State. I would like to think that out of this mess, which has been endured for too long, that some real and meaningful peace will ensue. I came across Hana Weisfelds at the last London Demonstration, where the number of people was it is estimated between 100,000 to 200,000. She gave a powerful speech, the essential parts of which are here; http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.huffingtonpost.co.uk%2Fhannah-weisfeld%2Fisrael--gaza-what-we-do-not-say_b_5678451.html%3Futm_hp_ref%3Duk&h=pAQELPaAz In regard to the photo, what captured my mind, was the look of pain on the womans face. A fine photo. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
