Israel is a country at war and I know many will have links or family in that country so I think it appropriate to wish them safety in the coming days.

Have we had someone come on here and wish suffering on all Palestinian civilians? I don't think so.

I'm obviously referring to the threads in general as I assumed your comment below was. Otherwise I have no idea who the people you are referring to are.
And remember it when people tell us noone has any problem with Israeli civilians.

To add you assumed I was just talking about Gazans I wasn't.

There is hate everywhere it is not unique to any one group of people. From what I have witnessed on these threads is that the majority of people are very mindful of making it clear that their issue is with Netanyahu his government and their actions.

I wish peace and safety to all innocent civilians caught up in this perpetual cycle of violence.

Allthatwegotisthispalebluedot · 15/06/2025 11:44

@hareclive does that apply to every civilian in every country who have been on the wrong side of history in war? What about Britain or the US? Japan? Germany?

I hope this post also stays up and is not deleted so we can all bear witness.

Yes it's shocking isn't it. Unfortunately these views are shared by people on both sides we've all witnessed them, it is extremely distressing and sickening to realise some people care nothing about the lives of others and wish them death and suffering instead.

How does Israel cope with constant war? It's surrounded by hate and has known nothing but terror and war since its inception. Not much of a 'promised land': I just don't know how they survive.

Their survival might have something to do with the billions of dollars they spend annually on armaments, their very effective and very well trained armed forces, a series of belligerent governments who are not afraid to deploy them and an extremely effective intelligence service. Add to that the general compliance of the west, who will give them almost free rein and you have the reasons for their survival.

I've never been but I know people moving there now and everyone I know who has been says is a wonderful place. Dynamic, energetic. Survival is the best response to hatred.

I am actually shocked that you say you have never been to Israel considering how much you defend its actions, I have been there, beautiful country, extremely selective about who it wants to come there even to visit and that's putting it politely

And yet they do. The people of Israel live.

I would generally massively sympathise with Israel, standing her ground surrounded by nations wanting to eradicate her. And I do hope for the safety of Israelis today.

However, Israel is a democracy and her civilians have chosen this response.

Today I feel for those living in undemocratic countries who must feel powerless in the face of the actions of their leaders. Particularly women and children. And I hope this opportunity for regime change is grasped and the oppression ends.

"Reuters also reported that nearly 80 Iranian civilians were killed in Israeli strikes on apartment blocks".

I find it interesting that people thought genocide in Gaza was justified after October 7th, but with Iran's retaliation after Israel attacked it is not and we have to side wih a party that started another war?

How long do.you think Iran has been funding the terrorist organisations that have been attacking Israel for years. This didn't 'start' a few days ago. 😕

How many Palestinian children had been killed and people oppressed in their own homes before October 7th? It didn't 'start' last year.

Israel attacked Iran first, killing dozens of civilians.

Oh dear.

How can you show you know nothing of the funding of proxy attacks by Iran for years without actually saying so. 🤔

I second the motion. Whenever Israel is attacked, be it by Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis, Iran and anyone else, the targets are always civilian. But we don't hear a peep from do gooders.

This.

Israel has constant attacks from various terrorist groups all proxies of Iran. Of course it should defend itself.

I feel for all civilians in both countries.

As always it’s men who wage war.
