Those prisoners starving themselves, what the hell is going on in this crazy world!!!!

Pro Palestine activists are on a hunger strike, I really hope you get the result you want, the people of Gaza remember you seven kids who died for…… oh for them! 😂

I watched an interesting interview months ago now a young guy who was born in Israel then his father ended up being one of the head chiefs ( killers) in Hamas he know lives back in Israel after escaping…. His wise words were…. ‘ you lot in the west have no idea what is going on, with your protests and flags, stop trying to get involved in something we can and won’t be able to change’
This comes from a person on both sides who stayed very humble but very blunt.

Stop your silly little hunger strike, go and enjoy time with your family and friends you are lucky enough to be able to do that.

Maybe they aren't doing it just for recognition from the people of Gaza,
Maybe they are on hunger strike as they just cant stomach that its now the new normal to sit back and watch Israel (killers) mercilessly murder innocent civilians and defenceless babies and children?.....
They are trying to make a difference however small.
Unfortunately every government has shown just how bloody spineless they really are and it will probably achieve nothing,

but YABU as I wouldn't be making snide jokes about it.

It's a brave action on their part and finally people are recognising what they are doing. There was very little media coverage at first.
'Silly little hunger strike', OP, really? They are young people in their twenties ready to give up their lives for something they believe in. What could be more seirous.

What difference exactly do you think they are going to make? Do you think any world leader who has any influence at all over what is happening in Gaza is going to take a blind bit of notice?
