To think forced starvation is just plain evil!

Imagine the uproar if someone here posted that the recently released American hostage looked well fed and cared for and all these reports of hostages being traumatised was just nonsense and how we shouldn't believe it???

Imagine one of us posting something that stupid and ridiculous??

Then go back and read the various posts on here about how the Palestinians look well fed with fresh haircuts and therevis no famine, its all rubbish...

See the difference??

Thank God. I was getting really worried about those pictures of starving babies. So glad the news got it wrong and they are all fine, heading off to school with their packed lunch.

Take your head out of the hasbara and open your eyes. Disgusting.

The whole world can see everything this Israeli government is doing to innocent kids. And that’s despite the fact that Israel has been blowing up journalists at a rate never seen before.

None of the cry bully bullshit works any more. People aren’t stupid. Israel is not a tragic defenceless nation. It is a nuclear power with an iron dome protection system. It is protected endlessly by the US veto even when international law is being broken left right and centre and it is armed to the teeth by countries all over the world. Now it is in the hands of an extreme right wing government run by a crook and ministers who have openly declared genocidal intent.

I’d never query Israel’s right to exist. But let’s not pretend it’s engaged in an equal conflict right now !!

That's awful, I hadn't heard heard that. Such a difficult thing to go through as a parent, you would give anything for your child but there is nothing you can do but watch them waste away. Just horrific, such an awful way to die.

Very good point Marty

Its not just food that is needed to sustain life.

of course that exactly what the Israeli Govn don’t want to happen anyway. Evil is the right word here.

Or medical supplies.

The insulin (and other medications)has run out condemning all diabetics to death.

Aid hasn’t been entering Gaza since the 2nd March
According to the news today 57 children have died of malnutrition and starvation

Allowing food and medical supplies through to Gaza and stopping the bombing might go a long way to “garnering more sympathy” for the Israelis.

As I understood it, Hamas was raiding aid lorries - which would make sense as they'd need to feed their fighters. Releasing the hostages might help them garner more sympathy....

Genuinely, to anyone who supports Israel, do you think this response is justified? Please dont make excuses, just answer yes or no.

I agree with you @Farticus101

It is beyond comprehension

I understand Israel must protect itself and certainly it had to respond to October 7, but this is beyond any response seen before.

This is obliteration.

Absolutely

No sane thinking person could look at what has been done to Gaza and justify it.

Some people have nothing better to do then to defend the indefensible.

That’s based on this thread is it? I can form opinions to on people by ‘what they type and how they sound’

Also to reflect on your first paragraph. How far do you want Israel to let it go? How many wars? How many bombs and deaths? When does enough become enough as…… well it hasn’t happened yet? When someone tells you who they are enough you start to believe it. Dehumanisation occurs on both sides. I hope all the countries surrounding do something concrete to ease this situation as it cannot continue as it is.

Both sides have to want peace.

You said erase their very existence which is what I was referring to as not happened. I am talking about Israel and Gaza. This thread is about people starving to death in Gaza.

As I said in my response to you both Israelis and Palestinians deserve to live in peace and safety.

Some of the posts on here have been horrific.
That we can agree on

just out of interest how many times have you visited the Middle East? Never

I have reread this thread and the accusations of hate in our hearts’ IS baseless and goady.
People are commenting on some of the comments made about Palestinians on this thread and the posters that made them which for many sound heartless and dehumanising. We can only form our opinions of anonymous posters on a thread by the words they type and how they sound to us.

In response to that….

it HAS happened. Not just on October 7th but all the time. I am not going to insult your intelligence by wondering what you know about Israel and how many people have been killed by terrorists. How many days in the last years have been spent in bomb shelters. Of course it could happen. Imagine if there was no iron dome?

I can provide loads of quotes and actually there is a few on here that talk of propaganda and why Israel says things. Lots of people do all of the things you have listed and then do the whole….. oh to criticise Israel is not antisemitic. It’s not goady AT ALL. It’s factual. Some of the posts on here have been horrific. Not all by a long shot granted but people like the poster who actually state some understanding of why people feel strongly after October 7th are few and far between.

just out of interest how many times have you visited the Middle East? I have reread this thread and the accusations of hate in our hearts’ IS baseless and goady. I know why I feel the way I do but I would never presume to understand others motivations. It comes from love and an overwhelming sense of foreboding. I wish every day things could be different.

So every media outlet reporting the humanitarian crisis in Gaza is lying because they all hate Jews? Even conservative publications such as the Washington Post and the Economist are reporting that Gaza faces a critical famine risk yet you are still saying that there is no evidence of hunger at all?
