Wonder why the project had to be secret. Far too often see all the pro Israeli content everywhere not just social media platforms but also forums like this.

Oh yeah. Israel made that up. They got George Galloway mixed up. They also said there was no aid on the flotillas but there's plenty of footage that shows it.

Critical thinking and fact checks are your friend.

This George Galloway?

His most prized possession is Haniyeh’s passport.

Hamas were proscribed in the UK in 2021.

Did they did get him mixed up? It didn’t say who they were circling or why in that post but the nuance is clear if you use some critical thinking.

Where did you find footage of the aid on the boats btw? Can you link?

The audacity of accusing others of being paid to infiltrate ‘here’?

What is ‘here’.

It’s a lefty parenting website predominantly for mums (hence the name), with very oddly, a massive board dedicated to a war started by a proscribed Islamic terrorist organisation who invaded and committed barbaric atrocities in the only Jewish State to predominantly Jewish people.

What do you think ‘here’ is?

UK's Galloway receives 'Ismail Haniyeh award' at Tehran festival

An Iranian state media festival on Monday bestowed its Ismail Haniyeh award on former British MP George Galloway in Tehran, where he praised the Islamic Republic for what he called its unwavering support for the Palestinian cause.

Palestinians showed themselves for who they are very clearly that day 2 years ago IMO

Do you hold Palestinians collectively responsible for the actions of Hamas? Surely this makes you just had bad as the antisemitic people who hold Jewish people collectively responsible for the actions of Netanyahu.

I was unaware that mums on a forum aimed mainly at mums had to pick a side and can't have compassion for both Palestinian and Israeli people suffering and dying in this conflict.

There's every possibility some of those on the flotilla are Hamas puppets.

My default was to be on Israel's side after seeing the images from Oct 7th as any rational person would be

A rational person probably wouldn't immediately pick a side, given the long and complex nature of the feud. This didn't start on October 7th.

A rational person would have seen the video of a young woman, just 22 years old, Shani Louk, defiled, broken, murdered, almost naked body on the back of that pick up truck, her head held by her hair, men with their legs over her as a sign of ownership, like an animal they’d hunted and killed, ‘innocent civilians’ hitting her dead body with sticks, spitting at her and cheering while holding their phones aloft filming her to keep this sick spectacle as a memory, and a rational person would have felt extreme disgust, injustice, horror, disbelief and primal rage at the people who did this to her for no reason other than a hatred of Jewish people.

They would certainly have immediately picked a side.

No past grievances could explain that and the Palestinians showed themselves for who they are very clearly that day 2 years ago IMO.

Baffles me why people STILL don’t believe them.

SharonEllis · 07/10/2025 07:35

That article really is a quite extraordinary mash up of conspiracy thinking and classic antisemitic tropes. Mind blowing.

You see, this is a staggering comment. Yes the conflict has gone on for a long time. But 7 October was of a different magnitude in the way it came out of the blue and in its barbarity and savagery and in its clearly genocidal intent. How anyone could not be sympathetic to the victims is beyond belief. Instead, some people shrugged and at least implied the Jews had it coming, and others immediately celebrated around the world. And I point out again that the biggest spike in antisemitic attacks in this country happened immediately.

I am extremely sympathetic to all innocent victims on October 7th and since. Please don't insinuate that I'm not.

MartaMooMoo · 05/10/2025 14:07

Yes that’s a fair point. Apologies I didn’t mean to upset/ offend. I actually do like it when I recognise posters!

Apology accepted.

So do I like it when I recognise posters and wish everyone kept the same username always but anyway, it's fine.

MartaMooMoo · 05/10/2025 14:07

Twiglets1 · 05/10/2025 14:05

The name changing is very very common on MN (and not against the rules I know). But it does make it look like Sharon and I post more than people on the pro Pal "side" because I never change my username and I don't think they do either.

But some people very obviously do so that's something to take into account.

Yes I post a lot, won't deny, but so what? If people don't want to engage they are free to ignore my posts.

Sorry, that's just not true. There may have been people that don't support 2 states but I don't recall when I last saw it expressed. Twiglets and I are very much in favour of 2 states and have said so many times.

I haven't come across you before so can only assume you have changed your name so we have no way of telling how often you post.

I don’t usually post on this forum.
i am usually on Books. I do change my user name.

It wasn’t a comment on posting a lot on MN. It was about posting a lot on this forum. I see your posts 24/7 and I don’t think you are paid by Israel no. Your posting style is different and it’s not your posts I am referring to at all.

Even so ... you seem like a decent person. What is the relevance of pointing out someone posts a lot on a forum beyond trying to silence them?

SharonEllis · 05/10/2025 14:00

MartaMooMoo · 05/10/2025 13:31

I said I wouldn’t post, but this actually exactly what I am talking about. You are supporting Israeli people and Israel’s right to exist. Guess what. So do I. I also support Palestinian people and Palestines right to exist. Most people I know IRL hold the same position. On MN, you cannot support a free Palestine without being against Israel. You have to explain this position over and over and over. I see posters do this over and over and over.
It’s not about people not agreeing with me. It’s the way the posts are written which give it away.

BTW both you 2 Twiglet and Sharon post a lot. Like you never sleep. It does seem like being on these threads is your jobs 😅

Come on ... people instinctively side with the country or individual being attacked, or that's how it normally works anyway.

Yes there's a long and complex feud which admittedly I am no expert on. But I don't feel like I need to be an expert to know which side triggered this particular conflict and this is the one I'm debating not the others.

This is a highly unoriginal comment and is repeated most days though normally with a sneer not a laughing emoji. It seems a little unkind considering for all you know we are two lonely souls that never leave the house. We could be agoraphobic. If you think we post too much, try telling MN your concerns and maybe they will do a welfare check.

If I post a lot, so what? At least I don't have paranoid fantasies like the one expressed on this thread about other MNs being paid a few grand to support Israel.

I think for many people the first thing they heard about this conflict was on the 7th of October. I see a lot of references to how Hamas started the war.

It's complete nonsense.

If Netanyahu was paying me he would be withholding payment since I've said I hope he gets voted out in 2026 and a more moderate government elected.

I think @MartaMooMoo thinks we're not genuine Mumsnetters because we support Israel as a country (the people) and it's right to exist.

Luckily MNHQ welcomes people of all opinions as long as expressed politely.
