mass strike?

Not correct.

Across the UK people have raised money, donated money, lobbied their MPs, protested, been arrested for protesting.

If you think all people are doing is discussing Gaza at dinner parties you are not looking. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/jul/19/palestine-action-protests-uk-london-arrests

I wish Israelis would go on a mass strike. It's their government staving babies after all. They are the people who hold the most influence in all of this. I heard an Israeli who was protesting about all of the dead babies on the radio earlier, he was saying that it's very dangerous to protest in Israel right now though, especially if you are an Arab Israeli. Arab Israelis are being locked up as terrorist supporters if they protest about the starving children so they aren't really able to. Altogether there was only a couple of hundred Israelis out of 9million who turned up to protest forved starvation which is disappointing to say the least. It seems that there isn't really much of a movement there that opposes the forced starvation of children.

Systematically starving an entire population to death, which to many people’s eyes is exactly what is going on right now…

Is heartless though.

Would you not agree?

Then they try and call us heartless. 🙄

Fully agree.

But, not so ‘utterly horrified’ as to do anything other than talk about it at dinner parties etc., correct?

'Islamic terrorist propaganda' oh deary me 🤦🏼‍♀️

There is no genocide. Hamas have been holding innocent hostages for nearly two years and many (including babies) have died yet Hamas repeatedly breaks agreements to free them. I bet if it was your family being held you would want your government to do whatever it takes to rescue them !! Oh and Egypt could easily open their Gaza border and let the Palestinians in or send aid but they aren’t bothering. Your being brainwashed by terrorist islamic propaganda

"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. "

This.

The Palestinian's whole identity was created to destroy israel? Oh, please 🙄

Same here.

What is the ‘truth of the Israeli state’ other than it’s ensured constant wars and terrorist attacks from neighbouring countries and the Palestinians whose whole identity was created to destroy Israel.

Maybe you could enlighten those of us who don’t know?

Gaza now has the highest number of child amputees per capita anywhere in the world.

Unfortunately, nothing will stop israel. The most that can be hoped for is that the world wakes up to what is the truth of the israeli state and what it is doing. People are understandably horrified at what's going on. These people won't change their opinions now, not after seeing this horror in Gaza. Israel employs people to go online and explain their actions - excuses, of course - and try to influence worldwide opinion. This no longer works, thanks to social media showing the truth, in spite of there being no journalists allowed in Gaza. People talk to each other and swap information and the truth then emerges. Propaganda can't win against this genocide. Hopefully it may lead to changes going forward. Changes in how the world deals with israel and what it's permitted to get away with. The old narratives are falling away and will be replaced with a more truthful and realistic view of the situation. I, for one, have done quite a bit of reading on the subject lately and have learned some pretty shocking things.

As for the people making glib comments about eating dates, shame on you. I hope you're happy.

Precisely. Hamas hide among civilians, many of whom are complicit. How can Israel trust they won't experience another attack like 7 Oct without wiping out the threat?

What exactly did the Palestinian people who were celebrating the invasion of Israel and the mass murder, rape and kidnapping of people who had gone to a festival or families just at home, expect was going to happen.

Don't be guilt tripped as to how you spend your money, folks.

People on here are always claiming that Palestinians are being dehumanised yet a poster has openly said they don’t feel sorry for the Israeli’s killed by Hamas. Absolutely sickening.

Shame on Israel.

Shame on Hamas.

I’m confident that the Israeli market will be able to bear the loss of your custom.

In all seriousness, their armaments export sector is booming.

And we are now all a bit dumber for having been exposed to it…

I won't touch Israeli produce now. Which is a shame for the normal Israeli people who are as much against this genocide as anyone. But whilst Netanyahu is in charge, myself and my friends and family are boycotting anything from Israel.
