I feel the same, so incredibly angry that this has been allowed to continue. These people have been under siege for 17 years and now they are being ethnically cleansed, and our government is behind it. Yesterday I saw a video of a young girl with what looked like an untreated compound leg fracture. She was covered in blood and her bone was exposed and she was pleading for help. Heartbroken doesn't even cover it 💔

Would that be like the broken pelvis that Hamas caused when they gang raped women? Does your empathy only work one way?

Up until about 2 weeks ago the RAF had made over 30 transporter plane trips between Cyprus and Tel Aviv. What are the UK supplying to Israel?

I've heard that the government has issued a D notice, it's difficult to confirm given the nature of D notices but if it's true then there is something the UK government would rather we didn't know about what they are doing to support Israel. What are they doing?

Our government may not be able to influence the Israeli government but we could stop assisting them in their genocide.

The conflict in Yemen has been going on for 8 years, if the rate of child deaths in Gaza continues as it is and the conflict in Gaza lasted as long there would be nearly 400,000 dead children.

Man's inhumanity is not limited to this conflict but the death and destruction carried out in the name of self defence is truly exceptional but the world watches on and does nothing.

The worst thing is that none of it will make Israel, or any of us, safer.

Exactly. Civilian proportion of deaths higher than in all world conflicts in 20th century.

I’m amazed how many people on these threads seem new to global conflicts and the suffering of children under regimes around the world. Twitter is also full of the terrible images of dead children in Yemen, Syria, (current death toll of children in Yemen stands at 11,000 with many more starving to death). Man’s inhumanity to man isn’t limited to the Palestine/Israel conflict and I will also say our government has very little say or influence over what Israel will do.

Lord help the OP if she watches Hammas videos.

I have been watching videos, on both sides, its atrocious. The difference is one is a government actively ethnic cleansing and the other is a terrorist group. Israel has by far exceeded the damage and death toll. I dont understand how anyone can say what Israel is doing is OKAY. It is an apartheid, terrrorist state and its colours are beginning to be revealed by innocent civilians capturing the horrors on the ground and sharing via social media.

Man's inhumanity to man (usually men not women) has no bounds although Israel is certainly on the side of right in my view in the current conflict. Pakistan is sending 1.7m Afghanistanians back to Afghanistan and Iran is sending many back too.

Hamas however brought this on itself as it knew full well when it gave Israel the equivalent of the US 9/11. There is little Hamas would not do even using its people as human shields. The sooner Israel wins the better.

Get back in yours and quit with the personal attacks.

Lifesd · 09/12/2023 16:16

@AngrySheep we actively support the Saudis and sell them the weapons to carry out the bombings. I believe it is right we showed the flag on our government buildings after the terrorist attack in solidarity with the victims of that attack, I’m not sure it is being beamed onto buildings in support of the military bombing currently happening so it would be a mistake to conflate the two.

I haven’t seen our government announce though that they “stand with” Yemen or Syria, and put their flags up, and have the prime minister visit to show public support to aggressors.

twilightmoon3 · 09/12/2023 14:29

Since you bring this up were you moved to highlight that suffering and try to prevent it. If not why is that relevant now. Many on the left have continously highlighted the tragedy in Yemen influcted by the Saudis with western weapons and will continue to do so. That tragic video of a poor boy shaking with fear and trauma is just one of many many thousands inflicted by indiscriminate Israeli bombing on civilian areas All lives matter, ceasefire now.

@Desertrose2023 at this point.... are they the lucky ones? How are they going to love when this is over....

There's limited medical supplies etc now.

I've seen people saying it would have been better for them to have died and they wish they had. Just awful

jammysocks · 09/12/2023 13:24

It's taken the west a long time to see things like this. Because they are too busy listening and believing mainstream western media.

When the truth is shown to them they close their eyes and ignore. It took 2 months, (way too long) but the west is now waking up

Desertrose2023 · 09/12/2023 13:17

I know it doesn’t seem like it but this boy is one of the lucky ones. He’s alive (and I pray he still is). Theres so so much worse this. Yesterday a mother holding the body of her dead one year old weeping. Her own mother is trying to comfort her and she says “ mom I struggled so much to have him, I had to have 580 injections.” As someone who had fertility treatment it was a punch in the fucking gut to watch her weep over him. Another blogger in Gaza named Prince Kouta - a Canadian Palestinian medical doctor stuck in North Gaza - posted a photo he’d taken with a little girl in his neighborhood (max 3 years old) named Sooad who he’d said asked him for gum the day before. Next day he posts a video of her body wrapped in a blanket - dead from the bombing.

I have links but wont post them. Anyone who still supports what Israel is doing has no conscience in my opinion. I can’t believe some of the people on mumsnet - a parenting website- defend Israel. It’s terrifying.

Parkingt111 · 09/12/2023 12:54

I agree with @AngrySheep
Not only a brutal onslaught but to also demolish most of civilian infrastructure, so after the war Gaza will be largely uninhabitable

It's collective punishment in plain sight but seemingly blind to our government

I have seen similar videos.

One of the hardest things to stomach is that no-one really seems to be talking about this, or to be horrified and distressed by what is happening to these people.

I don’t expect better from our government, I already know how little humanity they have.

I expect more from others though.

When I visited Auschwitz years ago and saw what humans had done to each other, it seemed like something so horrific would never be repeated without the whole world condemning it.

But now the world is just sitting back, knowing what is happening in Gaza, and looking the other way it seems.

The “Israel has the right to defend itself” line seems meaningless.

This isn’t defence, it’s an ongoing and sustained slaughter of civilians, with the justification that “Hamas is amongst them”.

It looks like the intention now is to kill every single Palestinian, one way or another. If some do survive the bombings and starvation, they will be so traumatised that quality of life will never exist for them anyway.

Absolutely @dreamingdays seems to be solidarity with Palestine with the expection of the US and UK leaders, who have the influence to try for a permanent ceasefire. This is mot okay.

Not going to watch it but I am horrified at everything right now.

Solidarity with Palestinians everywhere. The world is watching what is going on and is horrified.
