If it looks like a flounce, and sounds like a flounce, .................

We shall call it a flounce, you can call it whatever you choose.

This is clearly unacceptable behaviour measured by your own standards...
Unsurprisingly you missed this out:

If Hamas had not attacked Israel then Gaza would have been left untouched. However, Hamas attacked Isreal and Israel therefore retaliated.

I’m unfamiliar with the laws of Gaza. Enlighten me.

I must say, murdering teens at a music festival and baking babies seems unlike a logical thing to do when your neighbour has an actual army, as opposed to a mob.

I was happy to leave it as it was without starting a new thread. But apparently that's not good enough for Mango who evidently did not want to start a new thread and wants to continue here. In a thread about Ukraine. :lol:

I was discussing your flounce. You were discussing Israel/Hamas in a thread reserved for Russia Ukraine after berating someone else for doing the same. The horror!

Ask irie - he's tunnel-man. I was responding to his tunnel-terror.

It's akin to a 7 stone weakling assaulting Mike Tyson's mother. It's never going to end well. But being in what is effectively a prison camp can do strange things to people's reasoning.

That’s quite a good analogy about Old Mother Tyson.

There were many thousands of Gaza locals working in Israel, for comparatively good pay. Maybe that’s something they could have developed, instead of the current shitshow.

I don’t think Egypt let them in, to work there.
