I missed it too

Ohlalalalala · 16/11/2023 21:38

Missed it too 😕 I thought it would be available without ticket. Hopefully they'll upload it on their website or YouTube.

Sippingmytea · 16/11/2023 21:01

I missed it. Do you know if there will be another opportunity to watch it?

We all know that, but it seems you can’t say Israel is doing wrong even when it clearly is.

Of course you can, can you seen these boards over the past few weeks?

Seriously I had no idea how isolating it must feel for these Jewish people. It must be so hard to speak up. They are so brave and generous hearted

Just watching it, well worth seeing. Eye opening about Israeli govt oppression of the Palestinians.

Well there is a lot of criticism of western democracies by their constituents. Do you not think Israel is odd in that it can seemingly do no wrong?

I don’t hate Israel, I hate what Israel is doing to innocent civilians and I think more people should disapprove of that.

It is strange you don’t know how to spell Israel despite such strong feelings about this.

What constituents?

Show quote history

constituents of each of the western countries criticise the actions of their governments and call out what they see wrong and call for change.

About how Jewish people are all in a trance thye need to be broked out of? No thanks.

Show quote history

That's not what I took from the link but sounds like you have your mind made.

I think it's worth examining perspectives on an ideology that is seemingly OK with their state forces killing 11k people in 5 weeks, including neonates who are dying from lack of oxygen as we speak, and who have deprived people of food, water and aid for 5 weeks.

I'd like to know how we got here and how we stop this from happening again.

Luckily in the West we can say what we choose. I support Israel and we are standing up against ISIS type terrorists who slit the throats of babies in their homes. That isd the reality. Hamas was concerned yet another arab state was about to accept the state of Israel so decided to ensure its own people were put into a state of war. Hamas has bought all this on its own head.

I would have envied the state of la la land you seem to be happy to stay in, floating around not being perturbed by genocide because it's justified in your books

Except that I feel sorry for you. You may be happy and satisfied in your life right now while many of us are living in a state of devastation, but being a cheerleader for murder and on the wrong side eid history - sorry, not for me.

Saying that Jewish people who don't criticise Israel are brainwashed and in a trance is quite dogmatic.

Yes I actually requested it to be deleted before it was. I had not appreciated how goady it might have appeared but this isn’t a movie I made. It is genuinely another perspective and I think we should all try to see other perspectives even if we then decide they aren’t what we agree without being dogmatic that there is only one right answer.
