I've just seen horrific photos of starving children on a news article. Why on earth are we not evacuating them? The population isn't huge, if split between many countries the cost of supporting them would be minimal compared to other expenditure.
I don't understand how it's been left to get to this point without anyone intervening, or really how everyone hasn't intervened.
Who cares about the land at this point, these are children who are likely to die by the look of them, who could live a happy healthy life somewhere else.

I feel so hopeless and heart broken watching this unfold. What can I do as a woman living in the UK to help Gazan people?

I don't think the bbcs rules on bias come into it when reporting a genocide. Right-thinking people were glad it was shown. Sounds like you almost don't want us to know about atrocities going on in Palestine. Almost like you have an agenda 😂

Ah, so you're being selective in what you believe or stand for. Got it. At least one of you has finally admitted it.

@Tiredofwhatabouterydo you remember the name of the podcast? It sounds interesting.

BBC, oh what a reliable, unbiased source…NOT! You might as well watch Al Jazeera.
I guess you will try and discredit anyone who doesn’t say what you want to hear.

This is the BBC, that broke broadcasting rules with the Gaza documentary.

I didn't state anything, you did! Your You tube info 😂 I'll stick with BBC for my photos of starving Palestinian infants and aid workers.

This over sensitivity is stifling discussions.
Stifling a discussion? that's not what this is you are all too busy trying to outdo yourselves with offensive statements about Palestinians

You're too busy focusing on one little faction. Normally it will be calling IDF for everything. As soon as a different view is offered, which doesn't accord with your own, suddenly labels shouldn't be used. Israel are called scum etc. As I said, those aren't my words - it's a concept which is very much part of the bigger picture and yes, there IS a bigger picture.

Well Instagram has been quoted as a source.

They're sources, just not reliable ones but of course you know this.
Despite it's best efforts, Israel can't hide the images of what's happening and that's being picked up by the real sources.

Oh FFS - it's relevant in the context of evolving arab nations. I don't have to say whether I agree with it. So you can say it about Israel's outlook on Palestinians but believe everything is sweetness and light elsewhere. Look at why other arabs aren't taking in Palestinians. This over sensitivity is stifling discussions.

Why is the West being blamed for all of this when the Arab world is doing nothing whatsoever to help its neighbours?

I think this is true it suits the propaganda look at what Israel has done propped up by the West.

I think the reality there’s millions of people displaced by war and starving by conflicts within the region before you even consider this war. I think people harden up to it. Egypt has been struggling with a massive refugee population for years, over a million from Sudan since 2023. A conflict that has generated many starving children that hardly anyone cares about.

Palestinian refugees are a seen as a poisoned chalice with their brotherly extremism and tendency to try towards takeovers. I mean if you were Jordan would you?

Teaforthetotal · 24/07/2025 21:03

Jerrypicker · 24/07/2025 17:29

The starving children thing has already been debunked. It’s Palestinian propaganda. They basically put children who have cancer in front of the camera and make them say things for the footage. I saw it on YouTube.

I was listening to an American diplomat on a podcast who dpent a lot of time in the region and he said as soon as someone called him brother he knew to watch his back.

That's exactly what I referred to above.

Because it's much easier to blame western super powers, than it is the so called underdogs. That and the lack of understanding of historical Arab relationships. People don't want to learn - they would rather blame Israel than believe that Islam extremism is a threat. Extremism, whereby the term "brother" makes arabs wary.

I think the time has come where someone needs to at least make an effort to try and arrange to move people out to safety. We cant just watch ?

We do all the time though. It is horrible and sad but the reality is a lot of the world is horrible and sad. Lots of children are dying of malnutrition and related causes every day, 7000 a day globally, I think it’s the worlds biggest killer of under 5’s. Only due to get worse due to foreign aid budget cuts.

Are we going to fly in and save them all? Or is it only Gazans that matter?

I agree. If Egypt took to the public stage to say that they will take in all women and children from Gaza, then politically they back Israel into a corner. They would be supported by the international community who want an end to the appalling conditions for ordinary Gazans. So why the silence? Its time for practical action not handwringing.

They don't want to.
This isn't even a possibility.
They, or at the very least their government hate Palestinians. They don't trust them at all as they have regularly turned on countries who have taken them in previously. The wall is to keep Egypt safe.
