Calls are growing for the UN Security Council to be reformed after the US became the only member to use its veto power to block a Gaza ceasefire resolution, a move welcomed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The UN chief says he will keep pushing for peace.
For decades we had the IRA and we didn’t level Northern Ireland. The IRA were a terrorist organisation and repeatedly bombed civilians in UK.
The IRA didn’t target civilians though, they targeted the military or they tried doing economic damage.
Nah they killed plenty but I was trying to draw attention to the fact that the British army were vastly superior but didn’t level NI.
WIKI has a list of the bombings.
I could be wrong, I haven’t done a deep dive into The Troubles, but I don’t believe the IRA ever launched or stored bombs in schools and hospitals.
True but they were still hidden and helped by the local population. Point is though that the vastly superior British army didn’t level NI.
Point taken. However Hamas isn’t just a terrorist organization, they are the elected political party of Gaza. They are the government. So not really apples to apples.
Elected years ago, by people who are mostly dead?
Answering that question is a whole rabbit hole I will not go down. Just wanted to point out that comparing Hamas with any other terrorist organization is imo not really possible.
Comparing them to the Taliban or Hezbollagh is pretty possible.
