We will dance again

Exactly, she'd been in captivity for a decade and had to wait even longer because of the invasion and her situation was made worse due to the humanitarian crisis.

No word of critisism for her captors then? She had to wait as long as she had because she was being held by some Hamas scumbag. The IDF on the other hand were involved in her rescue.

When has Israel not been in Gaza?

Since 2005. I used to think their blockade of the border was horrific, but then I saw what happened when that border got breached.

There are many legitimate reasons to criticise the actions of Netanyahu’s government but blaming Israel for this poor woman’s decade long suffering is a stretch.

They tried to rescue her months ago but couldn't because of the invasion

Mr Sinjaree said Ms Sido was in good physical condition, but had been traumatised by her time in captivity and by the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza.

So this woman's suffering was prolonged and exacerbated by the Israeli invasion.

Again, gently, no @CoolMummy123

You're wrong. The IJC haven't ruled it a genocide

If they do, I'm happy to call it thus, but until then, you're misinterpreting your own links

Exactly, she'd been in captivity for a decade and had to wait even longer because of the invasion and her situation was made worse due to the humanitarian crisis.

When has Israel not been in Gaza? This is just the next part of the Nakba.

They tried to rescue her months ago but couldn't because of the invasion

She'd been in captivity for over a decade.

Also let's not forget why Israel is in Gaza. Calling it "the invasion" makes it sound like they're Russia or something, rather than a response to an attack by Hamas.

Israel’s ex- prime minister admitted Israel dug those tunnels!
But that’s not terrorism, the terrorism is blowing up hospitals full of wounded, shooting journalists, humanitarian workers and medical staff, kicking people out of their houses and villages where they lived for thousands years, taking their children in the middle of the night, purposely starving children, blowing up electronic devices, attacking neighbouring countries etc etc

No @CoolMummy123

The IJC didn't

I'm pleased she was released and am very happy for her family. What she suffered especially given the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, was horrific.

She was taken at age 11 in 2014. I doubt the recent crises was even close to the worst of what that poor child endured.

The International Court of Justice ruled it genocide. These are literally the most qualified judges in the world.

They have not:

No, that’s BBC 🙈 The ruling is here
https://www.icj-cij.org/node/203454
There are many others rulings such that Israeli occupation is ILLEGAL in the first place

@CoolMummy123 Read the link in pp your post is not correct

I have just watched this documentary and it broke my heart.
Hamas are revolting monsters, I can't call them animals because animals wouldn't even do that.

I do wonder how the younger, very outspoken generation would:

1. Feel if that was a festival they went to and watched their friends get slaughtered
2. Have said if there were social media at the time of WW2

Would we have been viewed in the same way Israel has been? The causalities of war were far greater.

I do not support the way in which Benjamin Netanyahu is going about this war at all but I 100% agree with Israel's right to defend itself.

They seem to be the only war I can think of where a country being attacked from all sides, from countries who do want mass extermination of Jewish people (do the younger generation still get taught about the holocaust anymore) who are repeatedly being told to stand down by the west.

To remind the younger generation of previous war casualties (for anyone with the argument that this war is completely out of proportion):

WW1

• UK - 885,000 deaths
• Germany - over 2 million deaths

WW2 - is this proportionate?

• 1.5 - 3 million deaths in Germany
• 210,000 dead - Nuclear bombs into Japan

• 70,000 innocent dead - England

Iraq War

• 179 English soldiers
• 4,492 US soldiers
• 186 - 210,000 Iraqi civilians

No civilian should ever be harmed in war, it is evil however it is inevitable.
How many Jewish people should be killed for Israel to be supported in defending themselves.
So the "the death toll is completely out of proportion" argument doesn't stand.

Yes, we can go back to the time before the bible and argue who has the right to the land. But this current war was started by Hamas and Hezbollah the following day.

However, please don't try to say they want mass extermination of Jewish people just because of the land.
People spitting on a naked woman's dead body when brought back into Gaza, footage filmed by Hamas.

Lets call this what it is pure racism, just like the Nazi's, who killed 6 million Jewish people.

Please stop spreading genocidal propaganda. Some of us were sick to our stomachs watching that genocide.

hmm, and what did they find hidden in the hospitals then? I think you’ll find there were terrorist tunnels, weapons and equipment. And as for the ridiculous remark about the pagers…, well you would only have one of those if you were terrorist wouldn’t you..,,,
