can't believe anyone needs to explain this to you, but many couldn't testify because they weren't alive to. Murdered after prolonged brutal attacks and torture. But still you ignore the testimonies of eye witnesses, autopsies, released hostage accounts, survivors, video footage...I despair at the utter lack of humanity.

Yes, total lack of humanity.

But only when it comes to Jewish people. They are fair game.

Utterly reprehensible.

I’m hoping that person is just a sick troll.

What is wrong with people??

Talk about adding insult to injury!

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15602697/amp/Green-Party-spin-doctor-denies-women-raped-October-7-attacks.html

I looked at the article as really wanted to see the other side (if nothing else I hate the Daily Mail) but this really is beyond low. We saw ample coverage of women, alive and dead, with bloodstained clothing, bloodstained thighs. There are numerous witness accounts. I cannot even begin to understand why someone would deny this.

The 'progressive' left (has any description ever been less apt?) have absolutely lost their fucking minds where Israel is concerned. They are a disgrace. They have been totally captured by Hamas lies and propaganda.

And let's not forget support for Ayatollah Khamenei and the Iranian regime (which sounds like a bad pop group, rather than the murderous bunch of arseholes they were/are).

Regressive is more apt in some cases.

They should drop the label tbf

Also your username is very apt as that is what most sane people feel like doing these days I bet.

Yep.

And as a previous poster said; they see themselves as the good guys.

If it wasn’t so tragic you’d laugh.

Well no, but it can be hard to fathom why some women don't understand the importance of maintaining single sex spaces for women in prisons, domestic violence shelters, rape crisis centres and so on.

Show quote history

I agree it is hard to fathom but I do know opinions differ so it's not surprising to me that the Green Party can get female candidates to match their stance on that tbh.

Yes, that’s the crux of it!

All this ‘live and let live’ is well and good until it puts women and girls in danger.

Or even just makes them feel uncomfortable.

No woman should be ok with that.

I mean … not all women see things the same way with trans issues.

Though I think we would agree, there are a lot of different opinions out there.

The biggest mystery is why they have women standing as candidates. It is possible that women voters are unaware of the trans bias in the party, and the erasure of women's rights, with attempts to remove women-only services, but the candiates must surely know the party's position on this.

Show quote history

You would be amazed how many women (when drilled directly on the implications of trans rights on women rights) hold very terfy positions while maintaining that terfs are evil and supporting TRA mantras. It's beyond maddening. And has taught me some deeply dissapointing lessons on human tribal instincts.

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 04/03/2026 14:51

Sadly I can’t say I’m surprised. I still can’t forget the TV footages of Gaza-supporting groups, both in the U.K. and Gaza, openly celebrating the October 7th attacks right after the event.

Twiglets1 · 04/03/2026 14:45

LucyWestenra · 04/03/2026 14:39

Yes, that is utterly baffling.

Cant understand it myself.

Perhaps many women know that the Greens are pro-trans, and are actually happy with that?

Radical thought, I know...

Ok. Well I have seen her remarks.
If she didn't say it, she needs to deny it.
Zack Polanski also needs to speak up, one way or another.
I optimistically await their measured response ⏰

@IcyPlumShaker there are not enough billionaires in the UK to fund the public services, benefits and military.

The UKs economy has been in decline at the same time that services, benefits has increased. The Greens don't have a credible financial solution and in the recent by-election the open borders commitment was very popular.

The only way out of this is to get more people working and paying tax, perhaps they will need to reduce pensions but whatever government brings that in will be not voted in again. The UK can't afford the current setup, it was previously funded by oil revenues and money from nationalisation.

Edited

Based on 2025 data, the top 50 richest families in the UK hold more combined wealth than the bottom 50% of the population (approximately 34 million people), with both groups holding roughly £466 billion–£500 billion. The richest 5 individuals, led by the Hinduja family (£35.3bn), hold over £130 billion combined.

Look at all that money. Just sitting there.....

Exactly, I can’t understand why any woman would want to vote for the Greens at this moment in time.
