Where the hell are all the Palestinians meant to go now?
They were TOLD to go to Rafah, that Rafah was a safe place.
It’s just open extermination at this point.

No they were not!!!! Weeks ago they were told to move out of that area and that is a fact

Fact, rockets were fired from that area yesterday killing IDF soldiers and seriously injuring civllinas , The crossing was targeted by Hams in an effort to stop the humanitarian aid IMO why else would they do that

This could all stop right now if all hostages were released and the main leaders in Gaza were given up

And go where? Tell me where should they go?

Netanyahu has already said that he'll attack Rafah after the hostages are released. You'll need some new excuses for this genocide I'm afraid.

ClairemacL · 06/05/2024 14:44

I’m 100% sure that if Gaza and Israel weren’t so close together they’d have nuked them on October 8th.

Although maybe that would have been too kind.

Except Nethanyu said multiple times that Israel was going to attack Rafah, “deal or no deal”, and “even if a ceasefire and hostage deal”

So lovely as your idea is for ending the war, Israel has already rejected it.

It seems like Netanyahu purposefully sabotages the deals whenever it's close to being finalised. Like insisting on attacking Rafah even if a deal goes through and the hostages are released.
I don't think he wants the war to end, once it does there will be nothing left for him to hold on to, to stay in power.

@quantumbutterfly you said I know better then courts. I gave you an example of when a court has been incorrect. This has nothing to do with jurisdiction- just court decisions are made by humans. Humans are not infallible

Hamas could surrender, or hand back the hostages

@quantumbutterfly maybe.

People get exonerated all the time. The courts called Nelson Mandela a terrorist. Do you agree they were wrong ?

You seem to be confusing jurisdictions.

The driver!

This is why we have situational awareness as part of the driver theory test. You need to be aware of all on the road and course correct not to cause harm

A woman was actually recently sent to jail in the UK for this.

This is why there is so much frustration and people are unable to engage in conversation about it. Because there is a huge blind spot towards Hamas. Hamas apparently do not have to take accountability and that’s why there will aways be discord in support.

Sure. No matter what Israel does or how many war crimes, it's someone else's fault. Got it.

Stop talking serious nonsense. Murdering familes as they slept inc children, rape, kidnap and worse by HAMAS.

I vividly recall the poor lady naked in the back of a Hamas operatives truck as they went through their town where children joined in by hitting the dead woman and spitting on here - SICK

Truly horrific and world leaders continue to watch and do nothing.

😢😢😢😢

What do you want them to do??

How would the people that live in England feel if British nationals were taken hostage by a terror group, the same terror group that had fired tens of thousands of rockets at us without a care in the world for us and those living around them

As soon as this Hamas, its leaders around the world are taken out the better it will be all of us INCLUDING THE PEOPLE OF GAZA AND THAT IS A FUNDAMENTAL FACT

Humdingerydoo · 06/05/2024 12:44

No, don't be ridiculous. The ultimate reason for it is that Hamas are in Rafah using civilians there as human shields. Hamas then decided to speed things up a bit by firing rockets from Rafah in order to ensure Israel would be guaranteed not to be persuaded by other governments to leave Rafah alone. Hamas don't want Rafah left alone as it suits them perfectly to have as many innocent civilian Palestinians killed as possible as they're pawns in their sick and twisted murderous games.

Hope that clarifies the matter.

The pusher
The car driver
or both?
Who is who in this scenario because it makes zero sense

I think the car driver in this scenario probably had ample time to brake and decided to accelerate straight at the pedestrian instead.

I sometimes think that if there's intelligent life out there in the universe they must be looking down on us and thinking 'if that's what they do to each other?' It's not just Gaza though. The only way for this current carnage to stop is for a ceasefire and negotiation. Israel can't eradicate Hamas, Hamas can't eradicate Israel.

@MNHQ stop censoring legitimate speech.

All over mn we complain about labour, conservatives, snp, democrats, republicans etc we complain about the UK, UAE, USA etc why is Isreal the only country, political party that we can't complain about?

Absolutely ridiculous. You are complicit because you allow those that seek to rewrite history to do so by censoring comments on Isreal allowing people so claim disagreeing with Isreal is the same as hating Jewish people. If discourse isn't allowed what is the point in this site?

It's Israel.

@quantumbutterfly so there are no mums in Palestine??

To be honest, if Netanyahu and the Israeli state have their way there won't be any mums in Palestine I guess.

If she had intended the result you could argue the case for murder I suppose.

Pedestrian who swore at cyclist and caused her to fall into road loses appeal bid

CCTV footage showed Auriol Grey, 49, shouting at retired midwife Celia Ward

I don’t think this analogy works because in this scenario the car driver is innocent- the pusher is the killer. The analogy doesn’t work

If some one pushes a man in to a road then a car runs them over and they die. Who is actually the killer?
