Because this is the mentality of the government. As the IDF post said, "You either support us or you are Hamas". No room for any critical thinking at all.

I honestly don't think the collective intelligence level at the top of the IDF, at least, is very high. They probably do struggle to see any further than those two extremes.

The fact that European countries are starting to speak up is very encouraging and telling. Israel rapidly running out of respect.

The Spanish pm said something this week and Israel has taken it as we support Hamas hence why all this. However, they have been complaining about Israel’s actions since the beginning so the embassy isn’t happy

@EasterIssland yes its great! And the council has suspended ties with Israel so a step ahead.

Not sure whether they’re doing it but the people working at the harbour said last week or week before they’d not board any weapons that were meant to go to Israel or Palestine. They refuse to take part on this war and continue helping on it

Barcelona stepping up, suspends ties with Israel due to genocide!

I was in bcn over the weekend. I didn’t attend the demo as my flight was early morning.
I think the numbers are really good taking into account

  1. There was a 5km and 10km race this morning through town
  2. There was a demo against violence on women
  3. This demo

It's wonderful to see people around the world showing solidarity with Palestine.

I'm not coping with the knowledge that so many children have been through pain and terror into death. However uplifting the worldwide support for the country, I'm absolutely haunted by what has been done and cannot be undone.

Little grey faces of tiny, dusty corpses or children screaming in pain or loss.

Too much.

This ones my favourite from Australia
The watermelon
After the 1967 war palestinians were not allowed to show or display any symbols of the palestinian flag
This lasted all the way till 1993
At the time they would defy this in a subtle way by the image of a cut watermelon as it has the same colours as the palestinian flag

There was some reshuffle in the Spanish government this week (or last can’t remember). Some people were carrying what we call Palestinians(keffiyeh) and some others watermelon badges . This is the same party in the government that has really criticised Israel’s government actions.

I love this especially the doctor holding the baby. It’s breaks and melts my heart at the same time.

not sure if someone can name the people it represents, I can see Bisan, Plesia, Wael (I think) and Motaz not sure the other two, doctor with baby and the journalist on the left
