What’s your prediction of the next cause the ‘activists’ are going to move into, after Gaza?

Seems like they’re getting bored of Palestine now that it’s a bit awkward talking about Hamas killing Palestinians in the streets.

so what do we think the next big cause is that they’re going to move onto? Do we think they'll finally bother to start talking about the awful crisis in Sudan? Or is there a trendier topic emerging?

Interesting how Israel has attacked Gaza and killed multiple civilians and children since the ‘ceasefire’ - as we all knew they would. So no we won’t ’move on’ because we need to raise our voices for Palestine and always will. We dont accept a genocide being brushed under the carpet and until there is justice and the perpetrators are brought to task and even then we will never forget what was done.

And for a split second there I thought you were referring to the terrorists whom without their depraved acts of burning families alive and rape, there would have been no war in the first place.. silly me.

Yes marching and placard waving are nice weather hobbies. They'll be settling down in their slankets until spring.

The evil dictator Netanyahu will be bombing again soon enough under some excuse

You were so right, sadly…

Oh they will! The weather is turning now so there won’t be as many marches or whatever.

Way to minimise genocide. Idiotic opening post!

Fupoffyagrasshole · 19/10/2025 19:50

if the uk government started going around killing citizens would you think oh well we deserve it cus we voted them in??

you sound like a right arse op - I suppose you don’t care about any cause I’m the world just yourself.

stomachamelon · 19/10/2025 19:47

Do you know much about the Hannibal directive @Ruby1985and why Israel would want to prevent Hamas from getting their hands on serving soldiers? It was only for serving military. Have you seen any of the footage from Oct 7th? What was done to people? Not soldiers just normal people. Read about the Kapshetar family.

Also do you know who the vast majority of hostages were made up of…… it’s not serving soldiers. Do not use the testimony of people who have been starved, tortured and watched their families decimated as a stick to beat them with. No one ‘wins’ at this.

You Don’t win any awards for that level of unpleasantness. The only ‘crap’ that needs to be removed is the stuff you type. I bet you couldn’t point out the Middle East on a map.

Back to the poor trans folk, throwing paint at stuff and gluing themselves to roads i suspect

There are so many worthwhile causes around the world, genocide in Sudan, Yemen, the Uighars, FGM and rights of women in so many parts of the world, to name a few, but for some reason these get totally overlooked

AnyoneWhoHasAHeart · 19/10/2025 19:16

They’ll just latch on to whatever is top news next.

Let’s face it these protesters don’t actually care or in the majority of cases even know what it is they’re protesting about. They’re mostly just professional rioters and thugs out for a ruck.

Extinction rebellion/just stop oil/pro Palestine/riot against the immigrants. There are people out there who pride themselves on being professional protesters while being supported by the taxpayer.

And when there isn’t a cause they’re brawling on a Saturday night or playing the role of the football hooligan.

The ones I’ve heard of are people approaching the line and being told not to repeatedly and continuing to advance and Hamas firing at IDF, oh and Hamas not producing the bodies of the hostages they said they would which is a violation of the ceasefire terms.

Martymcfly24 · 19/10/2025 19:12

I hope whatever it is next pisses off the usual suspects on Mumsnet as much.

Someone needs to be a useful idiots or a virtue signaller or they would have nothing to give out about (and start multiple threads about)

LozzaCh0ps · 19/10/2025 19:09

I’m under no illusions about what Hamas are, but the barely-suppressed smug satisfaction that some people have about what they’re up to now is really distasteful.

Don't assume anything. I support all those who are the victims of murderers.

Shrewsbury247 · 19/10/2025 18:18

They’ll never need to stop protesting about the plight of the Palestinians, the bloodlust of the Israeli gov is never ending!

Just because you can't grasp the concept of supporting something even when it's not convenient or pleasant, don't assume other people are as lacking in conviction.

Marches didn't stop in the winters of 2024 or 2023, so you're going to have to get used it 🙏

Exactly - marches happened through the last 2 winters, because people actually care about this.

OnlyHereForTheChristmasBoard · 19/10/2025 16:42

We're going to nationalise David Miliband.

3/10 - must try harder, OP.

HailCeaser · 19/10/2025 16:41

I think it will be something around protesting against old people owning property, you see a lot of that sort of rhetoric amongst those types,

The genocide committed by the Israeli government and the IDF in Gaza will never be forgotten or moved on from by the majority of the outraged citizens around the world. Especially the citizens in those countries whose leaders aided and abetted Israel by supplying weapons and resouces that enabled Israel to commit the genocide.

Your minimising of the tens of thousands of deaths of children in Gaza caused by the insatiable demand for vengeance of the Israeli ultra right wing government is truly appalling.

I don't think people will ever stop the activism for Palestine, sorry to disappoint you OP.

The useful idiots will no doubt find another murderous regime to support

Had they been supporting Israel all this time? I really must keep up.
