For those that have friends and family in Israel just a quick message to hope all is OK at this worrying time.

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 - over and over again- this.

There isn't a genocide in Gaza.

There are over-inflated figures from a terrorist organisation.

The loss of life is a result of Hamas refusing every ceasefire offered to them.

Are you calling the UN, Oxfam etc terrorist organisations?

Bit strange to ignore all the other people suffering in the same conflict though.

Show quote history

There are numerous threads about that.

This thread is about Israel. It's really quite easy to understand and not at all strange.

AmICrazyToEvenBother · 01/10/2024 18:41

I'm not commenting on political rights or wrongs, but presumably that's WHY the OP has created this thread.

More civilian lives will be lost.

Utterly terrifying that Iran has weighed in on this conflict. What are they trying to achieve - world war? Its just crazy. And frankly if it does escalate, I sincerely hope Israel prevail. Cannot imagine life as a woman under the Iranian regime.

According to John Bolton on R4 an hour ago, Iran is behind all of this and has been for at least 40 years.
They are a vile antisemitic regime and they wish to destroy Israel.
@mids2019 thank you for the thread. I echo your thoughts.

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

Perhaps because it's breaking new that Iran have attacked Israel?

My thoughts are with all who have family in the region. I wish that peace will return and innocent people can begin to go about their lives again.

It's awful on all sides.

It was inevitable that they would attack. Why wouldn't they? Israel knew this would happen.

Some lives matter much more than others eh.

I’m sending my prayers (non religious / universe based) to all innocent people caught up in war in the Middle East - regardless of race, religion or political beliefs.

Comedycook · 01/10/2024 18:34

It's a shame that the original theme of this thread is being torn to shreds by certain posters.

Op...I am also thinking of all those in Israel right now and those of you with friends and family there🙏

Dulra · 01/10/2024 18:34

Well done @mids2019 you've achieved what you set out to do with this thread.

My thoughts are with all those who have friends and family in the region, I wish them peace and safety at this scary unpredictable time.

You think?

You think they're more frightened than my aunt and uncle who are messaging me from a bunker in Tel Aviv where they're trying to comfort their grandchildren?

There is a genocide but keep telling yourself there isn't.

Probably the same amount of frightened I guess. I can't imagine it was a picnic being in Gaza recently or Lebanon. Equally though I am sure it is really scary for your aunt and her family, and horrible for you being so far away and I will hold you all (and everyone else innocent and affected in the middle east) in my thoughts and hope peace comes soon

Id think the levels of terror are probably the same. One isn’t more important than the other.

Bizarre thread. How about all the people who have lost their lives in Gaza??

Why on earth is it bizarre? OP presumably has friends/family in Israel so more pertinent to them.
