Please, read, listen and see what is being done to innocent people here.

Remember them.

Now, perhaps more than at any previous time in history, we can easily know the human cost of hate and violence, and the human cost of looking away.

Remember them. And remember all the other innocent people who have died and continue to die because of hatred and because of apathy.

If only there was something simple that the Palestinians could do today to stop the war?

Like help to release the hostages. And help to hand over the terrorists. And stop stating their wish to eradicate their neighbours (Hammas' actual Raison d'etre).

Any civilisation needs laws to prevent anarchy. Democracy is the will of the majority of the people. In the International community this is the people of the world. Collectively the World says terrorism is unacceptable. Now not everyone in the World agrees with this but THE VAST MAJORITY do so that is the only way that this will proceed.

It's like spoilt children who just need to accept that the Grown Ups are in charge.

Free Palestine from Hammas.

And what horrors have yet to come to light? I bet there are plenty.

We are only seeing the tip of the iceberg. When Netanyahu announced, a year ago, that no press were allowed in Gaza. I feared the worst.

I was listening to the news at lunchtime. A spokesperson for UNICEF stated that 535 lorries entered the north of Gaza in 20 days. This was the number of lorries entering every day before 07/10.
She also described the hospital she visited and stated that it was the worst level of trauma suffered by children she had ever seen.
Yet the world does nothing. What will it take?

Quite right! I don't give a shit about any criticism anymore either. The Palestinians have suffered enough at the hands of Israel.
They will not silence us and we will not stop speaking up. Free Palestine 🇵🇸

The news I've been listening to this morning coming from northern Gaza is absolutely shocking.

Those insisting that it's not a genocide are looking increasingly unhinged. It's clear as day.

What a load of absolute nonsense!

Care to explain why?

PeasfullPerson · 23/10/2024 08:52

There are also some letters in response to the article above in the Guardian today.

I’m sure the majority of people in this world, and our country. don’t want this, so how did we end up in a position where this not only happens, but is also legitimised, by those who lead us.

This is not democracy.

There needs to be new mechanisms in place to ensure leaders act in line with people’s interests and beliefs, and something to stop information being presented in a way which deliberately misleads.

There needs to be more accountability for governments once they are elected. Not here you go, now you’ve got four years (our country as an example) to do as you like.

I’m sure this will have already been shared somewhere, but this seems like a good place to put it.

‘What has happened to the world? What has happened to our sense of justice, of decency, of basic human compassion? How much more suffering do the Palestinian people have to endure before the world says “enough” and finally steps in to stop this? How many more children have to die before the world cares?’

@SunriseMonsters I do agree with you about religious extremists in power, I do include Israel in that.

Israel is not an extreme religious state anymore than the US is a extremest religious state.

War is awful. But in this case it's obviously the only thing Israel can do to defend itself. If Hamas would give back the hostages and agree to a ceasefire then there's a chance of peace. If not, then Israel has to fight and win. The last thing the world needs is an empowered Islamic fundamentalist state run by terrorists. I wish Western governments were doing more to support Israel.

Israel has never had prime ministers that were terrorists of course.

RhannionKPSS · 21/10/2024 21:59

I choose to remember those innocents murdered on Oct 7th, and those kidnapped by the death cult that is Islamic extremism, a cult which uses its children and innocent people as shields. Give back the hostages , or their bodies and a kind of peace will follow.

The shit non peace of before Oct 7th? It's so important that we ignore any and all Palestinian deaths since Israels creation isn't it.
Get a grip.

gestroopd · 22/10/2024 19:08

STOP BUTING PRODUCTS FROM COMPANIES FEEDING THE ARMY WHICH IS STARVING CHILDREN TO DEATH, when it's not killing them.

Boycott all Israeli products.

If everybody did this, voted with their wallets, it WOULD add pressure.

Not much point to this unless you want to keep the argument going . They’d already said they were leaving .

Of course it's a war. And if you want me to leave the thread, don't tag me. It alerts me to quotes, tags etc even when I've unwatched the thread.
