Support to Gaza/Palestine around the world

Here's a thread of some of the football club protests from all arounf the world:

Also, Kendrick Lamar's superbowl half time show has become the most watched in history (133 million views so far), a positive side effect is that more people are finding out about the dancer who held up the Palestinian and Sudanese flag. He has even made it into artwork.

I think quite a few posters will know who I'm meaning.

didn’t stick to the ceasefire agreement and hasn’t released the 600 plus Palestinians from their jails.
That’s probably led to an increase in support.

@DelaneysOnTheWineAgain that happened before Israel knew that Shiri Bibas was not returned as promised. The 'support' has never been in question. Do you honestly think they just had another woman on ice just... you know..... in case. When they are claiming the Bibas family have been dead for over a year? Everything is a calculated move. And now (for their citizens) they are going to win top prize in 'see what happens when you fuck about'. Netanyahu hasn't broken the ceasefire.... their needless crusade to rid the world of Jews has. Stupid men win stupid prizes. Make Israel chose between national security and who is left in Gaza.

And then they made hostages watch as their friends were released. Men clearly starved . I have yet to see a starving person/ persons in any of the footage released from Hamas' Pr stunts or Al-Jazeera.

And @EasterIssland still no answer of teams. Galatasary which is hardly a shock when they are Turkish and the local Dublin team that has the Palestinian flag on their promotional shirts. Hardly a grand-swell of public support. Laughable really as it's the same teams it would have been pre Oct 7th as it's antisemitism based.

The vast majority, then. I think I know who you mean.

I really get the impression that the poster is unable to engage in discussion about alternatives to a Palestinian state, which to be fair to them - I don’t think Israel has a workable alternative either- but does render their continued posting on the matter pointless.

People who are rude about those wanting to highlight the plight of Palestinians come across as narrow minded and bigoted. I am surprised at their nativity in thinking Israel would get unconditional support for their bombing of Gaza.

Not every Scottish person.

❤️

The irony is any Scottish person would be far safer in Israel than Gaza, even without the conflict. They know this. It’s very easy to support them ‘from afar’ as they’ll never have to go there, or come into contact with Hamas and their supporters in any way. I find it quite cowardly.

Oh yeah I forgot about that thanks.

My image is under review it's an image of the two flags against a back drop of women playing soccer

@EasterIssland Palestinian women's team played against a Dublin team (Bohs) which the President attended.

It's in the Likud charter to get rid of Palestine too.
Which are the ruling body in Israel.

Same mission on both sides

@Wildflowers99
such is the white man’s burden 🤣
please let us know what your alternative proposition to a Palestinian state - you are yet to enlighten us with an alternative

I think so many posters are filled with self loathing over Colonialism etc that their default position is to side with whoever is the least ‘Western’ side, without any critical thought.

"I don’t think they want a liberal, democratic state in harmony with an Israeli neighbour"

The naivety is astonishing- either that or it's a denial of reality because it doesn't fit their wider ideology.

It's a bit like "Queers for Gaza".

When asked what would be a “realistic and acceptable” ending to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, just under half of the population said some division of territory between Israel and Palestine, either along the pre-1967 borders or those suggested by the UN in 1947, while slightly more than half preferred a dissolution of Israel, with a single Palestinian state under Islamic law the most preferred solution of all. The least preferred was a single democratic state with equal rights for Arabs and Jews.

The survey also showed that a significant proportion feel that rule by Islamic law – a key part of the ideology of Hamas – is important and that around half believe that a military solution is more likely than a diplomatic solution. For most in Gaza too, the Palestinian-Israel conflict is primarily religious rather than political, the survey suggested

A poll by PCPSR released in September shows 39% in Gaza supported the attacks by Hamas into Israel in October 2023 that triggered the conflict, 32 percentage points lower than six months earlier. Hamas killed 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducted 250 in the attack, while the ensuing Israeli offensive cost the lives of more than 48,000 Palestinians, mostly civilians, and devastated swaths of the territory.

I don’t think they want a liberal, democratic state in harmony with an Israeli neighbour.

It's not like Hamas are definitely going to rule forever, Palestine could be supported to have a democratic election with a viable alternative. And I doubt very much the average Palestinian wants to eradicate Israel, however Israel have certainly done their best to eradicate Gaza....

I love it too ❤️

@Wildflowers99
this is the second thread you are now arguing the world doesn’t need another Sharia state.
Given that this is something you are keen to discuss- what is you alternative to Palestinians having their own state?

I wonder what Israel illegally invading the West Bank, killing burning and maiming the inhabitants means, hardly the friendly neighbours are they, seems there's two sides to this..

I don’t see this as a good reason to create another Sharia state
Where are you getting your information on this from? I read a guardian poll today which said 1 in 4 support sharia law that is not a majority. Link below.

You obviously don't support a two state solution so what do you support?

In this particular case the country concerned wants to eliminate Israel and all Jews. It is in the Hamas Charter and Hamas is the ruling body in Gaza.
