@PurpleChrayn I hope your family stay safe, you must be so worried for them.

Oh apologies, I thought for a minute you were on a thread about Gaza, the West Bank and Palestinians.

I was replying to an earlier post that stated incorrect information. Is that only allowed on threads about Gaza?

Apologies if I wasn’t clear. These civilian targets are being targeted by Israel, not the other way around.

It so obviously is. You denying it doesn't change facts.

I had not read that. I understood the Ayatollahs were only targeting Israeli military bases and an intelligence centre. I suspect we will find out more tomorrow.

Horrific and absolutely unacceptable but not a genocide. Those people are not being targeted. They are not being protected by Hamas or Hezbollah either.

@Gatehouse77 I don't need to tell myself. It's a fact.

Okay 🤷‍♀️

There isn’t a genocide in Gaza or Lebanon because Israel are targeting specific terrorist groups.

No genocide? Tens of thousands of innocent men, women and children have been murdered. Schools, hospitals, refugee camps, ‘safe’ spaces……carpet bombed.

The pp is right, though

It's not a genocide

Wy are you singling out Isreal? Why not the people in Palestine and Lebanon too? I hope everyone is safe.

There are dozens of threads where posters can beat their breasts over that

This is about Israel (please note the spelling)

herecomesautumn · 01/10/2024 19:20

I'm thinking of all those in Israel at this moment

I'm not religious so no prayers but I hope everyone keeps safe

There has been thread after thread after thread about the civilians in Gaza and Lebanon.

OP starts one thread about Israeli civilians now that the conflict has escalated and Israel is under bombardment, and look at the comments. Look how angry everyone gets at any concern for Israeli civilians. It was the exact same after 7/10 too.

I don’t know why Mumsnet haven’t closed this board down. It is an absolute cesspit of antisemitism.

This thread is a reminder that every day someone somewhere wants to destroy Israel and exterminate Jews. Tens of millions, probably hundreds of millions of people across the globe quietly go along with this notion. Israel is up against it every day. For 70 years.

Today is another reminder of that.

I completely agree with everything you say

But none of that is why I’ve said this board is a cesspit of antisemitism.

Show quote history

I agree with you. This board has had many anti Semitic posts reported and some quite rightly were removed.

Gatehouse77 · 01/10/2024 19:11

What Hamas and Hezbollah want is a genocide and the extermination of all Jews.

Neither side is right and all done in the name of a god. The same god. Gotta love religion 🙄
