The aftermath

Where on earth did you get that from? I have never said the US started WW2? Dont be ridiculous.

. Its increased rather a lot since the 1940's. A people wiped out is completely inaccurate. But there you go accuracy and these threads don't go hand in hand.

The birthrate in Gaza is nearly two and a half times the rate of the UK due to early marriage rate and low education of women.
Just maybe that's why the population is going up not that Israel is not commiting a genocide

Make up your mind. Is it or is not about numbers.? When you say they are being 'wiped out' that isually implies a vast majority. As @OctoberOctopus rightly points out a majority have not been killed.

Not many people enjoy seeing others suffer. The whole situation is just sad all around as it didn't need to get to this stage. If and when the inevitable unfolds, the Israeli government will only have themselves to blame but sadly it will likely be the next generation that face the consequences.

A PP mentioned that the kicker this time is that noone can say they never knew. This is really the first large scale war involving multiple countries whereby you also have the full effect of social media platforms able to document and showcase everything real time. I have seen so much that I did not want to see. The brutality, lack of respect for human life and dehumanisation makes me sick to my stomach. The only thing worse than this is the justification empowered people across the world openly declare as rational for Israel to keep doing what they are doing.

I know several life long Conservatives. It's just anecdotal, but the spineless comments Rishi made about Israel support was the swing factor that made them vote Lib Dem in the election.

"I don't think they intend for their to be many Gazans left. If you look through history at other peoples that have experienced genocide, occupation and land grabs, their populations shrink until they become an irrelevant minority as a proportion to the growing population of the recent invaders."

That was the emotional, inaccurate post.

My reply was calm and accurate. Population over 2 million. There are lots of Gazans left. The population has actually increased since the 1940's ...."at the outset of the 1948 war, the population of the Gaza region was approximately 60,000 to 80,000. Its increased rather a lot since the 1940's. A people wiped out is completely inaccurate. But there you go accuracy and these threads don't go hand in hand.

We have different opinions, as is.

I don't ask others to reread my comments and reply again. 😂 I reread their comment which was full of emotional language. Projection obviously. 😂

The echo chamber amplifies....

Nope, it's as I said.

Yes, so do I.

Seriously, where do these posters get their sense of importance from 😂 .

I think you're just fine @OctoberOctopus!

Remove the emotion, re read what I wrote, then draft a new response.

I don't need a link, but of course others may find it useful.

Yea and hezbollah and Iran who fund all the terrorists

There around 2 million people who haven't died. The population of Gaza has grown rapidly since after the 1940's. The population hasn't shrunk and isn't a tiny number of people.

Hopefully the war will end soon and a new government for gaza. One that focuses on improving things for its people rather than lobbing missiles. Continuing international aid will rebuild.

This makes no sense. If the USA was not reponsible for starting WW2 who was taking responsibility for whose actions in the implementation of the Marshall Plan?

Well you brought it up and expected someone else to go into it! Anyway, it wasn't just the Marshall Plan, that was my point.

Cost of rebuilding Gaza upwards of £50 billion - GDP of Iran £413 billion - sorted!

After all, the USA didn't start WW2 but rebuilt Germany and other European countries with the implantation of the Marshall plan.

This was an investment in long-term peace and prosperity. I hope that similarly the best way forward can be found for Gaza. Either way I doubt they will be soliciting my opinions.
