As per channel 4 news tonight.
Increased fears for potential hospital attacks, escalating attacks, and now people unable to even call for ambulances. News outlets unable to know what’s actually going on. I just feel so sick, helpless and terrified for the people of Gaza 💔.

A Hamas spokesperson also said a couple of weeks ago that they would not harm any of the hostages. So we'll all have to wait and see.

I meant that the hostages had been bombed - he did not say they were killed by Hamas but who knows.....

He also said that all talks were now off as the bombardment has increased this evening.

Hamas have already told Israel that some of the hostages have been killed.

I was listening to Aljazeera a little while ago and a Hamas spokesman was interviewed and he came across as using civilian's deaths and their future deaths as a way of getting the world to see what Israel was doing.

Israel suddenly don't care about the hostages then?

Indiscriminately destroying the entire country but the hostages will be there somewhere

I thought that they wanted them back so badly? Perhaps not then..

There are a few fireworks going off round here and it is just mind blowing and stark that people in the west are enjoying celebrations with loud bangs and flashes while the citizen of Gaza face such horrors.
Tonight it’s horrific imagining what those people are experiencing.

Devastating 💔😢🇸🇩

Whu · 27/10/2023 22:47

I just feel so damn helpless. Sitting here while those horrors are inflicted on 2 million people.
It’s just lacking any humanity what Israel are doing now.

I feel sick and so helpless. It is beyond rational belief that Gaza is being burned to the ground whilst the world watches and does fuck all. I can't stomach the level of hatred for a people that has manifested itself into a genocide. I stand with Palestine.

I'm going to a march tomorrow - I don't know what good it will do because this government couldn't give a shit. As long as they can carry on with their weapons deals and stick their head up the US's backside all is well in their world.

I am appalled by the actions of Israel but I think we should leave Holocaust references out of it. Such references are upsetting for Jewish people generally, who are not responsible for Israel’s actions

I agree with this.

As a Muslim, it’s really upsetting when I’m judged for what extremists do, as though I am somehow responsible or I support it. The same applies to any other attack carried out by someone of another faith.

So does mine

Bit more than 'upsetting' though don't you think?

Crabble · 27/10/2023 22:30

MatthewsMumFromTikTok · 27/10/2023 22:29

Well I'm sure this is all upsetting for Palestinians too

I mean, where/when/how will it end?

I am Palestinian. Yes it’s very upsetting but my point stands.

jojonono · 27/10/2023 22:29

@Crabble I agree

I was reading on reddit that there are 100 fighter jets attacking Gaza right now. Someone said it was reported on Al Jazeera.

It just never ceases to astonish me the harm humans can cause to other humans.
In the name of theirs, mine, they started it, I was just…
Where will it end? and do you wonder if these warmongers ever take a step back and think? Without recriminations and anger.
I will never understand and I would never want to.

Let the world see the real face of the USA, UK and Israel.

They showed the innocent people of Gaza no mercy!

There are no words 😥

And it will be way too late before the powers that be recognise it.

We are on the wrong side of history here.
