To ask what on earth do people who post about Palestine expect to happen?

It's a trendy thing to be vocal about. These things come and go. Periodically I find myself wondering if Black Lives still Matter. You couldn't move for that for a time and now nobody talks about it. Apparently it's only worth caring about something if everyone else cares as well. It's not clear much lasting improvement came out of the movement either. Lots of shouting but have the lives of black people actually improved?

It won’t be written off. You are completely within your rights to express horror at the Israeli government and disagree vehemently with the atrocious behaviour going on. I find a lot of those who complain they’re being treated like antisemites are being antisemites. Your post is valid and fair.

No doubt antisemitism is on the rise and some deeply unpleasant people are utilising the concerns others have about the conflict in Gaza to fan those flames and hijack protests. They disgust me.
I am deeply concerned about the scale of human suffering in Palestine, but I do not hold antisemitic views at all. I am concerned that my concern for Palestine could be written off as hating Jews, when it isn't.

This child of Holocaust survivors shows so much more compassion

That particular 'child of Holocaust survivors' is a radical socialist and long-standing pro-Palestinian activist. He rejoined the Labour Party under Corbyn.

Two months ago he gave an interview to the Islamic Human Rights Commission (a non-profit organisation based in London);

Regarding the 7 October attack, he described it as a “break out from jail to hurt the army”. He said the attack was “valuable” as “a meaningful point of changing the narrative” and he supports the “liberation from Zionism”. Towards the end of the interview he acknowledged that some of the things that happened on 7 October were “not very happy”.

He talked about the terrible loss of life and suffering in Gaza – however he also regards the suffering as necessary because, “you can’t defeat colonialism without pain”.

He is anti-capitalist and anti-the West in general. He said “the whole West is united against Palestine because they understand that Palestine holds the key to their decline.” He doesn’t trust the ICJ and he described the chair of the ICJ as “an American woman with a very doubtful record.”

Also interviewed here in The New Arab last week;

Oh and I've told my dc to never mention their heritage to anyone at the moment....but I'm just imagining all this clearly

I follow a lot of social media accounts about the holocaust as I'm the granddaughter of a holocaust survivor and am passionate about it not being forgotten. I can't tell you how many comments about Palestine are disrespectfully posted on there...how dare they? Or do you think that's fine and they just care about dead children?

Why aren't they equally outraged about the war in Yemen and the famine it's created then? Why aren't they equally outraged about the genocide of Uyghur Muslims in china?

The surge is done by sadly an unpleasant minority, islamophobia is also on the increase. The vast majority of people protesting are deeply concerned for the welfare of the Palestinian people. I’ve given you a reason why people are outraged, a factual reason.

Oh we all must be imagining the surge in anti semetic hate crime recently.

People don’t hate Jews, they hate western weapons being used to kill thousands of children. More children have been killed in this conflict then in any other conflict in the last 4 years with western weapons that is why there is so much outrage.

Yep....100%

Because a lot of people hate Jews, and this conflict offers the perfect avenue to air their antisemitism.

Deny it all you like, but it's irrefutable.

And it isn't whataboutery to ask why there isn't similar outrage for the arguably greater casualties in other current conflicts.

People. Hate. Jews.

Maybe it's because Netanyahu has stated that, even if the hostages are released, he won't stop.

Disgusting, just disgusting.

I’m not about to name people that I know like that. I might not like their views but I’m certainly not going to put them on a public forum. Even IF I did name people that I know what would that do for you?

Hamas is accountable for the horrors of 07/10.
The Israeli government, who supported Hamas for 14 years ( well documented), is responsible for what is happening now.

It’s important because the mendacious accusation of genocide is being thrown around and used to demonise Israel and Jews. And it's being used precisely because Jews have experienced genocide. This is however, nothing new. The accusation of genocide in Palestine has been alleged for decades, even as the population increased substantially.
The courts will decide if it is a genocide, not you or me.
What we are seeing here is the UN's complicity in colluding with terrorists.
All 193 members? You do know that the UN partitioned Palestine in order for Israel to be founded? Now they are terrorists lovers?
Israel accepts the surrender of prisoners and treats their wounded. Israel allows aid into the enemy.
There is being ill informed and there is being deluded.

I won't bother trying to counter argue the rest of your post because I don't have the time.

You really expect me to name individual members of the public on an open forum?

@trekking1 So if i understand correctly you are posting a pointless post about pointless posting?

or are you saying we should al refrain from posting on things that have a point?

😂😂😂

The occupation on exists because of western support, western weapons are what have killed so many children. Absolutely citizens of western countries should be protesting and sharing information as much as possible.

100%

I've seen people commenting on Instagram on Pregnant Then Screwed and a couple of other charity pages, demanding and actually being quite rude, all along the lines of why they aren't raising awareness about Gaza. Ridiculous.

I'm 100% in agreement in that

I was just pointing out the inherent hypocrisy of people using religion as an excuse to hurt other people

applies to people using any and all religions. including using the old testament as an excuse to throw people off their land or Al Qaeda/ISIS misusing cherry picked versed of the Qur'an out of context to kill people or Hindu extremists abusing Muslims because they sell meat/beef
