Singaporeans don’t care?

Dead babies piled in a corner

Dead babies piled in a corner

Singapore does not allow citizens to publicly express their feelings about the genocide now being committed on Palestinian soil. Even Hong Lim Park will not permit one person standing there holding a little placard in his hands. While people of other capital cities protest in the thousands, we will never know if Singaporeans are apathetic to the killings that are going on in Gaza. But I hope Singaporeans are keeping track of what is happening as how the war is fought affects us all.

I am glad former president, Madam Halimah Yacoh expressed her humanity in a facebook post yesterday. At least we have one important Singaporean speaking up and calling for a ceasefire in the terms of the UN General Assembly Resolution. [LINK]

Scrolling through the comments on her post, I can see that unlike the comments on AlJazeera facebook post, the majority are pro Palestinians. And many are Singaporeans. There are some provocative statements but the authors seemed to be the usual trolls spouting standard fare.

Singapore is one of Israel’s staunchest allies. Our army is trained by Israel. The interrogation techniques are taught by them. One of the facts that I learned about the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) in recent days is the practice of killing their own soldiers, hostages and civilians in hostile situations. The implementation of the Hannibal Directive is evident in the destruction of the Be’eri Kibbutz on 7 October. Netanyahu has blamed HAMAS for the death of 1400 people. But according to a survivor of the massacre, over 100 were massacred by the IDF itself. [LINK]

“A resident later told The Times of Israel that the kibbutz was "completely destroyed". Yasmin Porat, an Israeli inhabitant of Be'eri, said in an interview that Hamas held her and other hostages for two days, until Israeli Defense Forces arrived on 9 October. Porat said Israeli soldiers killed hostage takers and hostages alike, and that an Israeli tank blasted buildings in which hostages were held. According to another resident who was away at the time," at least 112 Be'eri people were killed" during the fighting.

Until today, neither Netanyahu or the IDF has admitted that they have killed their own citizens on 7 Oct. I hope the Singapore Army will never use the Hannibal Directive should they ever encounter war, which I hope will never happen in this region.

The IDF is and has been on Palestinian ground for a few days now. I will not be surprised if they have sacrificed Israeli hostages in order to achieve the of aim of exterminating all Palestinians, including babies and women. They have vowed to take Palestine.

But will they succeed? HAMAS is fighting for their lives. They prefer death to losing their land or living under oppressive Israel. Will Israeli soldier have the gumption to carry on this long war as Netanyahu has warned.

To me, it is better to end this genocide and talk peace now. Let the International Criminal Court prosecute the war crimes committed by both parties. Collective punishment is a war crime and Netanyahu should pause and examine where he and his army have gone wrong and not take it on the poor Palestinian civilians. Don’t blame a big military bungle on civilians. Have the courage to admit that it has failed the Israeli population on 7 October. More than 9000 have died. How many more deaths do they need to inflict on the Palestinians, the hostages and the Israeli army itself.

END THE GENOCIDE.

    But those who care are misplaced in their care!

    If you care for the peace in this Holy Land ask yourself what you need to target as freedom fighters or evil busters?

    No point in shouting genocide! If Hamas is busted out of Gaza/Palestine then there will be no more war, no more genocide till the next evil wave appear & rear its ugly head!

    DON’T BE MISGUIDED!

    SAVE THE CHILDREN WEBSITE: Since October 7, more than 3,257 children have been reported killed, including at least 3,195 in Gaza, 33 in the West Bank, and 29 in Israel, according to the Ministries of Health in Gaza and Israel respectively. The number of children reported killed in just three weeks in Gaza is more than the number killed in armed conflict globally—across more than 20 countries—over the course of a whole year, for the last three years. If this is not genocide, then what is?

    Can the same be said that if there is no Israelis, then there would be no Hamas since there is nothing to fight for?

  • ICC not worth 2 cents:

    ICC is known as a western attack puppy. It goes after only non-western countries. In spite of the overwhelming public evidence and even POTUS admission of brutal, barbaric, demonic war crimes in Iraq, ICC did nothing.

    ICC will also do nothing against Israel.

    Tech: Actually this is not entirely true. The ICC has spoken against Israel in the latest conflict accusing them of war crimes and possible genocide. Israel is not a signatory to the ICC, but Palestine is. So the ICC can investigate events that are happening in Palestine (Gaza), but not in Israel. A lot of technicalities involved and justice may not come instantly, it may take decades to see action. I would say the ICC is the equivalent of UN, mostly NATO but once in a blue moon, it gets things done.

    As far as the current conflict in Gaza is concerned, there can be no immediate solution to the genocide that Israel is committing through such proper channels, because of the US. Best hope for the Palestinians in Gaza is for capable countries like Turkey or some Arab nations to get involved militarily, best be Hezbollah, who IMHO opinion should set boots in Israel and not just restrict itself to throwing snowballs over the border.

    You are mistaken. We at TRE are NOT pro-Palestinians or pro-anything. This is not about Jews, Palestinians, Christians or Muslims. It is about innocent civilians that are being slaughtered.

    We subscribe to the belief that NO innocent civilians should be murdered. We condemn Hama’s initial killings and we also condemn Israel’s continued slaughter of innocent civilians in Gaza.

    Yes, 100% agreed with you.

    No doubt there are true terrorists in the world, for example, ISIS. Nelson Mandela was labeled by the US as a terrorist because he was inter alia, fighting for the rights of the Black South Africans to exist, which the US then did not like. He went on to become the President of South Africa. Do you also agree that he was a terrorist because the US said so?

    I could go on a lengthy discussion with you as to why Hamas is not a true terrorist in the strictest sense of the word, but you appear to take the US accusations at face value, irrational and adamant that it is the gospel truth, so I see pointless to waste time.

    Point to ponder: Only Israel, US and UK (another country, can’t remember which ) label Hamas as a terrorist organisation, Malaysia and most of the world’s countries (including non-Muslims) refused to label Hamas as a terrorist organisation, why?

    BTW, Turkey, which has one of the strongest military in NATO has labeled Israel as a terrorist state. Turkey has vowed to take Israel to the International War Tribunel court try them for war crimes and crimes against humanity. Back home, the Israelis have labeled Net and Yahoo as a criminal (corruption, abuse of power, etc etc etc) and was about to try him when the Oct 7 killings saved his a$$e. Are you aware of all this?

    Anyway, based on the above, the conflict in Gaza is actually terrorist versus terrorist, and since you are so anti-terrorist, why are you even supporting the Israeli’s genocide of Palestinians?

  • Smart Nation:

    SG voted for a “humanitarian truce” at the UN (Unrighteous Nations) meeting. So how can you say that Singaporeans don’t care? SG even sent aids to the Palestinians. Of course, PAP must also play to the Muslim gallery at home and in the neighboring countries. Who can be the best person to do it than the former unelected Indian-Muslim President. However, our SAF owes it to Israel for its formation, and SG is still an ally of Israel. So don’t expect SG to sanction Israel like it did with Russia. What’s the point of holding pro-Palestinian protests in HLP? It’s not going to change anything. Instead it will only lead to division and religious tension. Be more sensible lah!

    Tech: I agree with your take on this. Protests in Sinkieland are a complete waste of time, going to affect nothing. Sinkieland is not even the size of an Ant on the world map, to expect it to intervene and create miracle is unrealistic. Soh Lung is asking for the stars.

    It will be interesting to share your thoughts on why you think Hamas is not a true terrorist group when it killed so many unarmed innocent civilians – women, children and eldrly on Oct 7.

    Tech: I would love to, but in order to do that, I would need to go back to 1948. Are you willing to acknowledge history? For starters, do you agree with the US that Nelson Mandela was a terrorist? And do you agree with what Israel is CURRENTLY doing in Gaza, quoting your own words killing “unarmed innocent civilians – women, children and elderly”.

    And Turkey (2nd most powerful military in NATO, after US) has also labeled Israel as a terrorist, so would you agree that Israel is also a terrorist?

  • History mistakes:

    What happened din Sri lankan should not happen again. In 2008 Sri lankan final war, the USA and few countries with their obsession on the war on terror.post 9/11 annihilated the the tamil tiger rebels. It’s a decision USA and India will later regret . China would enter the region and Sri lankan and play it’s usual tactics games.

    The Tamil Tiger rebels were a defence in the India ocean from china until their defeat.even India acknowledges it now.

    The sam thing happened with defeat of sadaam Hussein

  • SpecOps:

    Other than the tragedy of innocent civilians being killed, we have no say over what goes on over there.

    People who are responsible for causing it, and those who are responsible for stopping it (if they could) are making their own decisions beyond our ability to stop them or say anything about it.

    The Middle East doesn’t care much for what the MiW is doing to this country, so why do we engage in telescopic philanthropy?

    And most terrorists from Islamic State (funded by CIA + Mossad), to Muslim Brotherhood (funded by MI6+ Qatar), to Hamas (funded by Mossad) are created to manipulate and control populations they want to divide and conquer.

    In this case Hamas attack handed them the perfect excuse to do genocide in Gaza.

    We have more immediate problems here to deal with, and in our personal lives.

  • Would they still care?:

    Because of the lopsided strength between the conflicting parties, the “war” will be over soon.

    One year down the road, how many of those who are now so concerned and outraged about the immense suffering of the Arab inhabitants in Gaza Strip would show concern and care?

  • @Would they still care

    I cannot but agree with you. Most of the international communities are simply blowhards like Sinkies, only know how to cry father cry mother and make some noise.

    The whole world already know about the killings and invading in West Bank for decades, but which agency or nation actually acted on it? Again, make noise and cry father cry mother.

    Almost every single nation is selfish and acting for their own agenda, why didn’t the US act when Israel was killing and invading the Palestinians in the West Bank? Now the bullied is fighting back and they now support the genocide claiming the BS of a self-defense? What a hypocrite!

    Unless they really want to take concrete action, these hypocritical nations should just STFU, don’t make any noise.

    In China, they call it “刷存在感”.

  • SINGAROAR:

    The West has succeeded in labelling freedom fighters as terrorists. So many in TRE are repeating this. Hamas was elected by the Palestinians in GAZA and not the Palestinian govt. of Abbas. Hamas must have been taking care of their needs to be elected. Hostage taking and exchanging for prisoners is an ongoing occurrence in certain parts of the world though we may condemn it. In the Philippines this practice is ongoing. Netanyahu needs to be taken down and this should be done by the Israeli citizens themselves.A Zionist killed the peace loving PM Rabin so the Israeli’s themselves should remove their PM. If they don’t, their families and friends are going to be killed in other parts of the world. When it happens the killings will become senseless and the innocent will pay the price of not stopping Netanyahu. Singapore should end diplomatic ties with Israel immediately.

    I don’t know much about Nelson Mandela to know if he was a terrorist or not. Hamas launched a premeditated attack on innocent civilians – an act of terror. Israel first announced it was going to war with Hamas before it launched its offensive. Significant difference between the terrorists and a professional army. Israel is not responsible for civilians deaths in Gaza if Hamas uses them as human shields. IDF made itself clear. It’s primary target is Hamas not the civilian population. If they chose to remain with their fighters and suffer collateral damage, there is no blood on Israeli hands because the civilians have been warned to leave the area. I do not agree with the shedding of innocent blood; not like what Hamas did on Oct 7. Certainly not.

    Tech: Since you are not willing to embrace history of 1948, then no point for me to discuss this. You are entitled to opinion, lets stick to that.

    Palestinians are not terrorists but Hamas is are,who can honestly say not?
    Look,if you are a true soldier,would you take innocent civilians as hostages and violate them?
    No doubt many soldiers pillage and rape in war but these are international war criminals ,for example,Japanes Soldiers during WW2.It has been well documented.
    But Hamas?
    It is part of their strategy and ordered practice.
    Hamas is a terror grouping.
    That does not mean that i am agreeable to how israeli army bombed Gaza so randomly and ruthlessly.
