Footage shows public executions in Gaza City street

It's more likely to be aluminium, tin is a bit toxic, but then again...

That's exactly what a bot would say tho.

@TakeMe2Insanity

I'm also not a bot. I felt sympathetic towards Israel after I watched the dreadful October 7th videos, when I saw ordinary Palestinian people cheered the slaughter. It was revolting.

I have wanted release of hostages, hamas to go and a 2 state solution throughout. I do think war crimes have been committed and individuals should be tried correctly but I understand its not black and white Palestinian good Israel bad.

Works both ways though Polly. Rachel Weiss took a load of settlers out on a boat to see the destruction being wrought in Gaza, and to show them where they will live once the Palestinians had been ethnically cleansed. That’s not very nice, is it?

Am I an Israeli bot?

😈

If I was a Gazan civilian I'd make sure I was seen to support Hamas.

Although broadly I feel my stance is pro Israel, I can sympathize with Gazan civilians to a certain extent. They've been bought up in a radicalized society, told since birth they are victims of Israel, and violence is seen as an absolutely legitimate form of resistance. I think in this atmosphere a significant proportion of any society would act this way. I think its human.
The huge problem I think is when the violent extremists are in charge. Of education, employment, the military etc. The problem is one of leadership.

In a nutshell, thats why I think Hamas has to go. There's no future for a Palestinian state with them in power. Only more radical violence.

People on here constantly posting, saying they don't support Hamas, but then in same breath saying 'Its resistance, it didn't start on 7 October, Israel are the colonizers, we can't expect Hamas to behave with any humanity' etc I've heard people say literally things taken straight from the poster Hamas made of BN as a vampire- I despair sometimes. But overall I believe Gazan civilians are more victims of Hamas than Israel.

“Awash with Israeli bots”?
There’s thread upon thread on any type of wrongdoing on the Israeli side (without mentioning the role of Hamas very much) and there is what seems like a handful of posters who express sympathy for the Israelis and who seem to see the conflict as more complex than just black and white, good vs bad.
Where are you seeing all the “Israeli bots”?

And the ordinary 'civilians' cheering them on?

I also remember the hostage release ceremonies with Palestinian civilians taking their kids as if it was a day out. Even when the hostages were going home in coffins. And when they encouraged their kids to deface the pictures of the Bibas brothers after their coffins had been taken away. It feels like their whole society is sick to its very core

It doesn't read to me like you have any insider information. With that in mind, what was the basis for what you posted yesterday about the men who were lynched?

They're just terrorists. They can't be expected to behave.

Hiya. I am British. Never served in any army, let alone the Israeli one. However I am not so open minded that my brains have fallen out.

HTH

Palestinians again showing the world who they are, yet it's dismissed with whataboutery and excuses. Is it because the hatred of Jews is just so strong? Is it an inconvenience that gets in the way of painting Palestinians as a bunch of innocents at the mercy of the big bad Jews? Or is it the racism of low expectations? Are Arabs not expected to behave any better than this so their 'supporters' turn a blind eye?

Yes @Twiglets1 Im neither Israeli nor Jewish. I’ve certainly never been ‘indoctrinated’.

I’ve said it before, but @SameOldHill if this is what it’s like when pro-Palestinian people are ‘kept silent’, I dread to think what it will be like when you start making a noise!

You think all the posters sympathetic to Israel are Israeli?

Lmao. I've just read your posts now. Your accusations that I have 'Inside information', your concern that Hamas are on mumsnet? Are you actually insinuating that I'm a member of Hamas? I have a rotten cold right now but the thought of you sitting around all concerned that you are communicating with Hamas on mumsnet has really made me laugh. I have a roll of tinfoil in the kitchen you can borrow if you want to make yourself a hat

I think both the Israelis and Hamas have got their hands a bit too full right now to be engaging paid bots to post on MN.
