Statement by Tánaiste, Micheál Martin TD, on the situation in Rafah
www.gov.ie

Citing UN sources, the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs says that the “wholly inadequate humanitarian access over the last 4 months” means that the population faces acute food insecurity, with a serious risk of famine developing. “This is unconscionable,” the statement says.

“Freezing or withdrawing funding to UNRWA further exacerbates these risks - States which have done so must urgently rescind this decision and resume funding.”

          Nooe, right here seems fine. No but you basically said they need to be eradicated, please tell me his that’s different. And you could also elaborate on how you would combat the terrorists if you had it your way.

          all of this will repeat over and over until Hamas gets completely wiped out

          you, literally in the same comment chain

              Should I just quote the rest of that comment then? Because you repeat yourself in the next paragraph, you’re even so kind to put a full stop behind the statement that time:

              The only solution is the removal of every single Hamas person and at best the Irani government as well, Hamas is just their sock puppet.

              Tell me, where is this mysterious “context” you mention because I just can’t seem to find it between your constant demand/proposal to eradicate all terrorists.

                  Context:

                  • Israel is killing civilians, including children, while attempting to eradicate Hamas
                  • Calls for a ceasefire happen so Israel stops killing innocents
                  • “muh ceasefire don’t work, you need to eradicate Hamas first”

                  Now tell me, where in that comment chain do you, explicitly, state that no civilians should be killed in the attempt to remove Hamas from Gaza?

                  You cannot remove Hamas by means of force without at the same time killing an incredibly large number of innocent civilians. You demanding Hamas has to be eradicated first is, implicitly, stating that you are A-OK with Israel slaughtering innocents in the process.

                  As you say they are a terrorist organization, they use human shields. You cannot state your argument in some fantasy reality where Hamas and the IDF suddenly play by the rules of engagement.

      If you bomb all the schools then they can’t hide in them. And if you kill all the school children they won’t need schools. It makes perfect sense!

          It is your point exactly. Or do you honestly think that killing thousands wouldn’t led to more terrorists because of the hate these actions instilled? It happened multiple times you know. And bombing only ever made everything worse.

              Oh, sorry, I took your words and you don’t like that? So sorry. Maybe you shouldn’t have written them in the first place, just a suggestion.

              Also, being hostile just makes you seem childish, just a friendly piece of advice.

                  you childishly ignore all the context present

                  Going by the remark you close the previous comment with the only person being childish here is you. If your reaction to being called out is demanding the other user delete their account (I’m being favorably with the interpretation here) that says a lot about your ability to handle criticism.

                  Now I’m going to generously assume you just lack the English language skills to have this discussion in a manner where you can properly articulate your point (because apparently what everyone else here takes away from your comments is not what you think you wrote). Given that assumption I can only give you my well meant suggestion of not engaging in discussions using the English language. If you can’t properly articulate your point then there is no point in having a discussion. Discussion only works if communication is bidirectional and clear which is not the case when one side loses half their arguments in translation.
