Why are the Arab countries tougher on Hamas than we are in the UK?

randomchap has spoken @Helpins don't comment with your opinion.

None of this would be happening in Hamas were not around as they have the people terrorised in its severest form
Question is where does Hamas get it's money from, I guess Starmer and the rest of the world leaders know already.

What a hideous post.

Truly people have sunk to disgusting depths in order to dehumanise Palestinians.

Talk about spectacularly missing the point.

Largely because Labour relies heavily on the Muslim vote to cling onto power. Look at how many independent councillors ran in the last local elections campaigning solely on Palestinian issues.

Yes it was. And it was a horrific crime that should never be forgotten or repeated.

The UN has said there is starvation in Gaza. Why are you trying to deny that there is?

Starmer is an idiot.

If Israel puts their weapons down then Israel will be invaded. If Hamas puts their weapons down that’s it, war is over.

Starmer has just given a terrorist group credence, He has done this to stop his back benchers joining Corbyn. Anti-Semitism is still rife in that party.
Starmer is not fit to be PM of this country.

Interesting how th adults don’t look like they are starving. During the Nazi persecution of the Jews it was the adults that were all skin and bones.

I can’t say I’ve posted Starmer has a lot of influence. Still he’s an outlier amongst Qatar, Saudi Arabia etc and France.

Again - the idea that Hamas, who the West publicly call terrorist - would give a damn about what the U.K. or France or anyone else think when we supply Israel with the weapons being used in a genocide is laughable.
It’s Israel we should be trying to influence. I doubt anyone in Palestine has much respect for the UK given its colonial fuck up over the country to begin with.
I do think U.K. people seriously over estimate their ‘influence’ in the world in general and underestimate the resentment & political messes that the UK colonial past has left in its wake.

Arab countries recognise Hamas as the terrorists that they are, and are also afraid of the risk to their own countries.

Here in the UK people are incredibly misinformed.

Gaza needs freeing from Hamas, who are terrorists. There will never be peace while Hamas is in power.

Israel supported Hamas in the 70s as a divide and rule tactic, to weaken the PLO. I was going to link an article about this from The Times of Israel but Google seems to have blocked their website.

‘Expect to be met with the latest bout of your conflating antisemitism with criticising Israel.’

this ridiculous notion that you can’t criticise Israel for anything INCLUDING committing war crimes and genocide because it antisemitic isn’t working anymore.
Criticising Iran and their batshit actions or regime isn’t anti-Muslim - although you could argue that their people have a lot less agency than some I suppose.
Recognising the Palestinian state is long overdue.

Yes Qatar etc are putting more pressure on Hamas than we are. Starmer is the only one when you look at Macron’s statement too to do this.

It's not worth seriously listening to anything said by Starmer. He'll say something else tomorrow.

I don't think it's a good look for us to make ultimatums to anyone. I think it only underscores how irrelevant the UK is on the world stage these days. Imagine Botswana saying "Georgia must stop eating dill or we will recognise the existence of Abkhazia." There would be general bafflement and mockery- the same as the UK gets now every time it wades in to foreign conflicts, particularlhly when domestically it is unravelling and edging closer to civil war.

We all know Starmer will just do what America tells him to do anyway. Same as every other recent PM.

Palestine is being recognised as a state - maybe. Palestine. So you have your facts wrong OP.
Hamas is a terrorist organisation, according to the UK government. So they aren’t less tough than others, like Qatar etc. and those countries actually have influence in the region. We supply Israel with weapons, why the F would Hamas care about what the U.K. thinks? Arab nations close to Palestine are in a position to influence AND to help with aid, recovery, and so on.

Expect to be met with the latest bout of your conflating antisemitism with criticising Israel. However, Islamophobia accusations were recently used to shut down debate elsewhere. This was when discussing Islamic fundamentalists.

The Palestianis, who aren't starving to death, will do all the electing. Namely, the men.

Correct. The anti semitism is extremely strong on this site, though, they will pretty much jump through any hoop to ignore the simple reality that the murdering, raping, baby slaughterers of Hamas are lying, disgusting filth who could have ended the war they started at any point at all by simply surrendering and handing over the hostages.

France has recognised Qatar billions. The hard left will be putting pressure on Starmer to follow suit, so another hunt to find his balls, in resisting. As for arab countries fixing things - they broke those things in the first place.

This.

Plus the post a out voting in a new government while starving to death.

Israel doesn't like Hamas? Should they be liking the murderous scum, who carried out a bloody massacre on 7/10?

No. Hamas only runs part of the Palestinian territory. You do realise that don’t you? Also you can recognise a state but reject the legitimacy of the government.

Voting? Hamas?
