Does anyone else feel like this about Gaza/Israel?

I know it sounds awful, but I’m desperate for a break from Gaza. I feel like we’ve had 2 straight years of hearing about absolutely nothing else. It feels like you can’t switch the radio on, or open Facebook, or even pop to the shop without hearing chants of PALESTINE and having flags waved in your face. It’s been absolutely relentless, and wildly disproportionate compared to other conflicts and atrocities around the world.

Of course it’s hideous that so many civilians have been killed, in particular children. But it feels like Palestine truly believes it is the only population who suffered during the 1940s and is the only country to ever lose territory or be reshaped by global events. I feel like everyone else adjusted to their new normal, for the sake of peace, while Palestinians just continue what seems like an infinite grudge which is then met with harsher repressions by Israel as they have to defend themselves.

It’s utterly exhausting the globe and I have zero hope they will now smell the coffee and take the opportunity to kick Hamas out because ultimately they don’t want peace. Hamas did not drop out of the sky, they and Oct 7 had high support until they started losing, and I think it’s very unlikely they will ever be willing to move on from past events.

AIBU to think we now just need to leave them to it for the sake of all involved?

And people in Nigeria? Who can’t avoid their slaughter but have no coverage either?

Utter rubbish. If I did some self reflection it’s probably more because I’m sick of Brits.

The mainstream media coverage on this has been very reserved when it comes to coverage of the atrocities inflicted by Isreal - the horror of tens of thousands of children killed and maimed has been missing from my TV.More child amputees in Gaza than anywhere else in the world, or in any other war. I follow lot's of Palestinian journalism, plus UN, and aid charities, the cruelty against children has made me cry. And I have a feeling that if those children had been white, we would have seen their faces, and know at least 1 of their names.

Just to check, you know the news you're watching current right? Not 1940s footage? I get the impression it's the current levelling of towns and cities and mass murder of civilians that 'gaza' is bothered by more than anything. Also when people talk about Gaza as if it's an entity. The news you're watching isn't some machine named Gaza, it's families like yours, settled in their home region with no hope for escape constantly treated like vermin to be exterminated rather than human beings with feelings and previously full lives

No. I’m not. That’s information only you must be privy to about the ‘useful idiots’.

Hopefully you'll get the break you need soon. There has been loads of news coverage but weirdly none of it has focused on the real victim which turned out to be you.

Quite a few? Are you having a laugh? You know perfectly well that these useful idiots won't be marching against Hamas.

Probably quite a few. I don’t know of anybody who supports terrorists. I hope that the innocent people of Palestine will one day be free of any oppression from anybody.

This is fascinating OP. All the comments are against you but half the voters agree with you. It doesn’t suggest that healthy debate is alive on this topic if basically all the people who agree feel they can’t comment.
