mass strike?

Oh please, when did millions protest about Afghanistan?

If you are right that some who protest do so due to anti-Semitism then shame on them. I can't say that strongly enough.

However, to say that few get quite so indignant over other parts of the world is not true. During my lifetime millions of British people have protested in against war and oppression throughout the world - from Vietnam to Iraq to Afghanistan and more.

Hundreds of thousands of people across the country are trying to do their bit for the people suffering in Gaza, without political agenda and whilst utterly condemning the actions of Hamas.

People write to their MP, donate, write to the paper, join vigils talk to their town council, raise funds and do all they can as peaceful, law abiding citizens to make an impact. Perhaps the wider population will protest. I hope so. Peacefully.

ok well as discussion is not allowed, I give up.

Hope the newspaper front pages are looking better tmro for everyone, night night.

Please note all those telling us noone supports Hamas.
This is open support for a genocidal, racist terrorist organisation that oppresses and brutalises its own people.
Ascever, hatred of Israel is more important than actually caring for Palestinians.

Did they really just say we are predictable? How many Pro Palestinian threads have there been on this board, since its inception?

It's if no interest to me; I don't need a coalition to validate my opinions. I don't buy what you buy - it's as simple as that. There is a lot going on with the aid and its not as straightforward as Israel not allowing access. I don't trust the UN, who have a problem with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. The UN feel undermined. Hmmmm I bet they do. This is the same UN who liaise with Hamas on pick up points for aid.

Well you said it, not me 🤷‍♀️

And why don't you care about Israelis being killed?

OK, but again you have singularly ignored my point about PA.

You see, I do not dispute some clearly hold strong views, but that’s it for the vast majority. Those willing to take to the streets, to risk arrest - they are the minority, and I cannot escape the feeling that there is a significant degree of anti-Semitism wrapped up in this.

Few get quite so indignant over other parts of the world.

Always the pro-Palestinians who try to make out anyone not singing from their hymn sheet are bought. Never see it the other way round although that is much more likely IMO since spreading propaganda is the whole basis of this war from the Palestinian side.

I’m sure Israelis will be crying into their Shawarma sandwiches that you and your ilk don’t care for them.

The post pp was referring to said:

“i am almost ashamed to admit that I no longer care that Israelis were killed by Hamas
almost ashamed - and then I look at the pictures coming out of Gaza and nothing can justify that - it’s pure evil”t

They weren’t even talking about just the Israeli government or the IDF, they were referring to all Israelis it seems.
That is dehumanising and frankly disgusting.

I’ve been boycotting Israeli goods. Makes me want to vomit every time I think about it how anyone can support Israel whilst they’re purposefully withholding water and food to children and babies.

Oxfam and all who work and donate are trying to do something to help those suffering in Gaza with or without a political agenda.

They are not just talking at dinner parties.

Compassion for the starving and injured, especially children, does not mean a poster supports Hamas. If you read the thread you will see that is not the case.

All the people I know in the UK, no skin in the game people that are observing the situation in Gaza are utterly horrified by the actions of the Israeli govt. They, and I will have nothing to do with this country or its goods, or its people that choose to support its barbaric regime. Those that support this are now subhuman and should be treated as such. Shunned.

What an interesting choice of words, @Lonelycrab

What proportion of the people in the world do you think agree with you

Genuine Question

I don't agree Israel are doing that, no.

My bad, apologies.

But PA are a proscribed TO? You would not join one of their protest marches, right? Your outrage does not extend that far, correct?

Oxfam’s fundraising is apolitical, as it is for any other campaign they conduct - we can deduce nothing else from it.

Again, incorrect. They are not my words. I was quoting another poster.

Oxfam are raising money for Gaza. Do you know them or anyone who works or volunteers for them? Or donates to Oxfam?

Bang on.

How's that working out for you guys then?

Sorry ‘All the people I know in the UK…’ - your words.

I do not know anyone actively involved in protesting, or fund raising for Palestine. Your dataset, my dataset.

Edit: Aren’t Palestine Action a proscribed terrorist org?
