To think this is getting out of control now. Anyone who is against war and violence is being seen as a terrorist sympathiser. Hamas is also being used as a justification for their actions. It seems a lot of people forget that a lot of killings and violence occurred before Hamas came into power. Nothing excuses killing innocent people. The idea that "we are targeting terrorists" is completely laughable. Is it worth bombing a school or hospital because one or two so called terrorists are hiding and hundreds or thousands die/injured as a result? Not to mention that a lot of people who support war and violence see someone's children, parents as 'collateral damage.'

I do not get why the media think it is okay to silence people. They are trying this with Gigi, Bella, Dua Lipa etc.. And they are not the only ones. El Neny a footballer of Arsenal wrote "My heart and my soul and my support for you Palestine." Arsenal's sponsor, the Lavazza Group, has released a statement saying it wants to discuss the situation with the club, telling The Mirror that "we are concerned about the club associated with such a message" and that the company is "fully committed against racism and antisemitism."

When will people understand calling out war and violence does not make you anti Semitic. If that was that case anyone who criticises Saudi Arabia for their human right violations are Islamophobic. Or anyone who criticises China are racist also (communism, discrimination to Ughur Muslims)

The idea that is it okay to bomb a public space because you have intel that terrorists might be there is never justified. 100s and thousands of innocent people will lose their life. Plus with any terrorist group, drug cartel group, violent group etc killing the leader or those at high levels does not make the problem go away. What happened after El Chapo was caught? The drug war still exists and cartels have increased rather than decreased.

I am surprised there is no more conversation about this, is it because it's not an AIBU? I was shocked to see this but think it will really backfire and works in Palestine's favour to remain in the headlines. Else everyone would forget now that there is a ceasefire per say, however that doesn't improve the prospects for them

It’s a phenomenally complicated situation. Modern day Israel was established after the Holocaust to give Jews somewhere they could be safe after thousands of years of massacres and persecution, and is surrounded on all sides by countries that want to see them wiped off the face off the earth. I understand the instinct to aggressively defend themselves. I also feel for the innocent Palestinian civilians who are living in a horrendous situation and living under leadership who keep making their lives worse.

I don’t know what the answer is.
