Strike for Gaza

@Forsakenalmosthuman I didn’t report anything? Why would I waste my time responding to you if I reported the comment:/

I care what happens in Palestine. I am appalled at what Hamas as unleashed on innocent civilians. They knew this would be the response.

It's just fake bots. They all come on at the same time as well?

Mumsnet deleted my perfectly polite post, presumably after you reported it, so I can't explain any further.

There is plenty of video evidence on for example the Jewish News's social media if you care to see what is taking place.

I think we all need to be aware that some posters will not be genuine and planting hatred to stir feelings up and create chaos.

Countries outside the West, as in previous world events have created discord and anger through Bots.

Please report those who step out the normal boundary of decency.

@Forsakenalmosthuman I’m in Zone 1 London and haven’t seen any of that but I do see some things on social media. So because a FEW Muslims do some stupid things like releasable mice in McDonald’s (which makes absolutely no sense), what does that have to do with the people in Palestine? I see people on this thread saying it isn’t a genocide, what is it then?

Surely you can have sympathy for both sides? Or are people afraid of being accused of anti semitism if they don’t support Israel?

I’m really interested to know why the majority of MN are in support of Israel and don’t actually care what happens in Palestine. It’s not a representation of what I come across in real life and my social media feed so I wonder why that is? Anyone care to explain in a civil matter?

@Dontknowwhyidoit so going along with your logic we shouldn’t have bombed Germany during WW2? Yes the holocaust was wrong but we killed innocent Germans. 2 wrongs don’t make a right! Give your head a wobble. Hamas will not stop, they knew full well what the consequences of their actions would be. Hamas do not give a shit about ordinary Palestinians and they will not stop until they have annihilated Israel.

no thanks, no strike for the murderous hamas regime to stay in power there

id like to see how that flies in my job. ‘Sorry I’m not coming in today because of the war in Gaza’. P45 in the post.

No, the slaughter of the Israeli people was wrong but two wrongs don't make a right

I will light a candle again tonight for the 1600+ Jewish civilians slaughtered by Hamas terrorists. Which does the same amount of good as a strike would for Gazans, but it makes me feel better.

Is there anyone out there who thinks Hamas was right to kidnap and burn kids alive and to be still holding on to civilian hostages? @Dontknowwhyidoit

Are there actually people out there who believe that what Israel is doing is justified ? I can't understand how anyone could think it's anything but wrong.

Stop with the condescension. I don’t need to read my history thanks. I am well aware of what happened after WW2 and the part we played but this changes nothing. Britain going on strike will not help Palestinian civilians in any way shape or form because israel does not answer to us.

@bellac11

To be fair, I don't think they have organised anything in their entire existence. They just hijack stuff other groups organise.

We live in England, it’s not our war.

Go and read the history, we had a GREAT deal to do with this...

👍

It’s so obvious what you’re getting at but let me put you out of your misery.

It’s definitely because of an A word but that word is ATROCITIES.

Israel’s atrocities are all over social media and people can see it for themselves in real time. People have seen the kids with their limbs blown off and their skin burned off. The mums and dads wailing. People using their bare hands to dig family out of rubble. refugee camps being bombed. The ambulances, the journalists, the churches, the mosques, the UN buildings. People have also heard the rhetoric from the government. We’ve seen the army TikTok videos.

all this within the span of 4 weeks. 10,000 killed. all happening with total impunity, including from our government, and no end in sight. That’s what makes this different. There’s a sense of urgency. No one is minimizing other conflicts but this one is happening in plain sight in real time and going totally unchecked.

Im well aware of the history of the creation of modern Israel which is why I (and others) have questioned your statement that 'England created the war'

And the fact that you havent been able to expand on it shows that you were in fact, as I knew, talking bollox.

@bellac11 i would love to give you an extended history lesson.. actually I don’t

Google it, many credible mJewish scholars have written books on the matter too - about the illegal Israeli occupation. I tend to read both sides as it’s good when forming your own objective opinion

it’s quiet simple and if you come to a completely different conclusion than I did, that is ok. Due your due diligence
