To wish those in Israel safety in these coming times

I wish peace and safety for the innocent citizens of both Israel and Iran. It's not the peoples' fault and they didn't ask for bombs to be rained down on them in either country.

It’s not racism ffs, it’s the fact that Gaza is still run by terrorists that dngaf about their own people; bit like Starmer 🤷‍♀️😂

You want Iran and its current regime to get their hands on nuclear weapons?

Same for Israelis/Jews.

It’s the whole conflict in a nutshell, isn’t it.

Until both sides and their supporters can recognise each other’s common humanity we will remain stuck.

And to add to that: Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East, and the only country in the Middle East where there is religious freedom, yet the country that is hated by all its neighbours.

Jew hatred runs deep in the Middle East.

Have they? I’ll admit I DGAF about Palestine so probably would not have read it.
Big up to Israel for tackling the issue head on

I hope Israel stops bombing other countries and ends the military occupation of Palestine.

because you read my posts before they were deleted. Now you can say that my posts said whatever you want, to fit your narrative

I wish everyone caught up in war safely including the people in Iran and the people in Gaza.
The situation is dreadful and saldy is made even worse by the Israeli Government.
Always in these cases it's the innocent civilians including children who suffer

Not just in Gaza but around the world. I saw it in London.

I feel for those in both Israel and Iran who are hurt by these actions. I hope that Israel continues to target their efforts at military/nuclear targets, and that Israel’s iron dome remains effective, so that civilian casualties are minimised.

No sane, thinking person can possibly think it’s a good idea for the current Iranian regime to have access to nuclear weapons. They have openly stated their desire to destroy Israel (and are aggressive towards other countries including the UK), and have been pursuing just that policy through their murderous proxies Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis. They are a death cult who do not see death as a negative, so mutually assured destruction is not a principle that would ever curb their actions.

Given the appalling barbarism of this repressive, vicious regime, to their own people, and the fact that more than 80% of Iranians want regime change, I hope this action may lead to change in Iran.

well this is observably not true, because my pro-palestinian/anti-israel posts on this thread, have been deleted

Racism gets deleted

guess that was the usual racism then?

there is a body of people who have so dehumanised Palestinians that they can’t see their own racism

I was underestimating so MN wouldn’t remove my post 🤣

Here you are, always policing... The irony, given the subject matter.

Interesting paradox that some posters justify their glee by pointing out that some Israeli citizens were happy to see Gazaans killed. Yet they don't recognise that Israelis have the same justification because they saw the glee and participation of the Gazaan civilian population on 7 Oct.

Unfortunately on mumsnet you are allowed to say anything if you are pro Palestine/insert whatever you want.
If you dare to mention anything that bucks this trend, your comment will be removed

Oh we are following your rationale very easily.

The lives of ordinary people, especially women and girls in Iran are already very grim since the 1979 revolution.
If anything good can come of this it might be that the (slightly) more moderate factions in Iran gain power.
I suspect most ME and western governments are quietly hoping Israel succeeds.

Half??!

yes, I wish my posts hadn't been deleted so people could follow my rationale

I wish any and all Israelis, the same as they wish for the Palestinians.

Really? You think half of the ‘pro Palestine’ brigade have stepped foot in Gaza?
