To think someone has got to stop the mass killings in Gaza

Oh and for those talking about bias: one quarter of the sitting MPs in our parliament have received funds from Israeli lobby groups. One quarter.

Before Oct. 7th Israel was committing the crime against Humanity of violent apartheid according to: the UN, ICJ, Amnesty, Human Rights Watch (whose head was a Jewish American lawyer at the time of the report), B'Tselem, Yesh Din, etc etc etc

Before Oct. 7th Israel killed an Oct. 7th number of unarmed Palestinian children each year
(37 Israeli children killed Oct. 7th, several by Israeli army fire according to witnesses and the UN. 32 unarmed Palestinian children killed Jan-Sept 2023 and 34 unarmed Palestinian children killed 2022 in the West Bank no Hamas)

In its genocide Israel has systematically targeted and destroyed healthcare infrastructure and personnel as attested the UN and by MSF IN 2024 (the other times MSF has broken neutrality? Bosnia, Congo, Rwandan genocides).

Israel bans foreign media and is deliberately targeting journalists and has killed more than any conflict since records began according to the CPJ

Can you really not see the irony of your condemnation of people “resorting to name calling” and then saying “it’s like talking to anti- vaxxers or white supremacists”.

Everyone needs to stop with the insults! People can have a different opinion without being insulted. You just lose the argument when you resort to name calling as you say yourself.

What did you mean by the slur Adolf?

That's extremely disrespectful and brings a conversation to a level I would think nobody wants.

what qualifies you as an expert in this?

Why do you think that the uk supports Israel? Genuine question. Why do they fund and support them?

But I do ask myself why Hamas would kill some [hostages] and keep some alive

I can think of a dozen reasons why some hostages may be killed by their captors: 251 hostages were taken on October 7, therefore some hostages were expendable, killing some hostages puts further pressure on the Israeli government, dead hostages are still useful to the terrorists as families want to retrieve the bodies of their loved ones, some hostages were close to being rescued and could not be moved to another location, non-civilian hostages are seen as legitimate targets, some hostages may be killed in revenge for Palestinian family and friends killed in the bombings/fighting - or out of frustration at the slowness of negotiations, some hostages may be witnesses or victims of atrocities carried out during captivity, or have knowledge of tunnels and command centres, some hostages may be ill or injured and a burden to their captors, some hostages may have tried to escape or became hysterical, defiant or difficult to deal with, some hostages were taken by other militant groups with a different agenda, some hostages may be disadvantaged by their nationality or ethnic group and some terrorists are simply sadist nutcases.

They lied about the personnel not wearing their Red Cross/crescent uniforms, UN uniform and fire fighter uniforms, they lied about killing terrorists as part of the group

Sorry, but I don't think you can make a blanket assessment on what all of the men were wearing - as one of the three men in the video footage is not wearing any sort of uniform at all. There's a fleeting glimpse of another man dashing behind the ambulance who also appears to be wearing dark clothing. All we can say for certain is that at least two of the men were wearing uniforms/high-vis vest.

the ethnic cleansing in Syria, mass killings in Pakistan, Putin’s barbaric unjustified mss murder in Ukraine, subjugation of women in Afghanistan, uncontrolled infanticide in China.

Could you show me where Western governments including our own, have said that they support the killings you mention, and that they support the perpetrators? Because that’s a major issue for me and my views on Israel’s actions. Nothing to do with ‘the Jews’. Not for me, anyway.

I commented because I wanted to.

Truth has a habit of doing that.

This is the link to the article in the Guardian @Jujujudo

www.theguardian.com/world/2025/apr/07/israel-military-gaza-perimeter-land-testimony-report

Hmmm

You are totally wrong there

Very disrespectful thing to claim

Yes I used to think Al Jazeera was good for news but over this conflict they have shown a lot of obvious bias.

I had read about it this morning actually but it’s just good practice if you’re having a debate to provide a link to your source if you’re talking about recent news.

Even a link provides justification to their agenda. If the link supports Jews (Israel) then it’s to be questioned and called out as a lie, if the link supports terrorists or the Muslim brotherhood propaganda then it’s absolute fact. Apparently. It’s a nightmare. This whole situation has proved absolutely that it’s possible to be outwardly racist, to hold normal people accountable for a war, to single out only one nation as a terrorist state and feel that somehow you are on the side of humanity. I hope that in the future, what has happened to a people making up 0.02% of the world’s population will be seen as a crime and not as an aspiration.

Oh it’s in the paper, it must be true!

Apparently when the source is Israeli its lies and if the source is Al Jazeera it’s gospel truth.

It’s in the Guardian. It’s online and free. If you have strong opinions on the situation then why aren’t you reading all you can about it ?

Why don’t you provide a link when you state things that aren’t widely known?

People like to see the source reporting the information so they can make up their own minds whether it’s a reputable source or not.

To be clear the conditions are release the hostages and destroy Hamas. Very reasonable demands I think.
