To be against the attacks on Palestine

What happened in Israel was horrific by Hamas. But why are Palestinians being restricted, bombed, dehydrated and deprived of basic needs because of terrorists? Why is the world supporting Israel commiting war crimes?

Hamas are sick fucks to kill innocents. But it's like history repeating again. 9/11 caused millions of Iraqis killed for what?

Have we learned nothing from the past???

I'll keep doing this as long as people keep lying about "fake news". This link is from just a couple of hours ago.

@AvoidFakeNews what on earth. You have taken a single interview from one woman who escaped unscathed and assumed from this that the various other confirmed reports of violence outwith the music festival are false? Is that right?

There likely are plenty of indoctrinated, desperate people who support Hamas but they are in fact a terrorist organisation who have committed horrendous acts.

In this case Hamas did their work for them by simply uploading their handiwork straight to social media.

Good to see the BBC reporting from inside Gaza. They're showing everyone the cost of Israel's attack.

The number of Palestinians killed by Israel, since Saturday, is now greater than the number of Israelis killed by Hamas. And Israel has only just got started.

@AvoidFakeNews

If you support Hamas then you are supporting a prescribed terrorist organisation and if you are based in the UK then are committing a criminal act.

Hamas slaughtered the innocents and now Israel is doing the same. The difference is the west is giving the green light to Israel to commit these crimes.

1dayatatime · 12/10/2023 20:03

@AvoidFakeNews

You need to stop posting in support of Hamas which is a prescribed terrorist organisation and if you are based in the UK then are committing a criminal act.

This has triggered me to read more about the history because i didn’t know about it. But Palestine occupied the land i t’il Britain decided Israël could establish a state on it? Now Israel is a recognised country but Palestine isn’t?

It the return linked to Jacob and Ishmael from The Bible?

SomeCatFromJapan · 12/10/2023 20:19

@SaySomethingMan the area was part of the Ottoman empire before becoming a British territory. The League of Nations then divided the land between a new Jewish state and the other Arab residents, these did not agree and war broke out, Israel won and in the process increased their territory.

There's a saying.... a little knowledge is a dangerous thing 🙄

That's awful, he clearly can't see past the bloodthirst. 😔

TheOccasionalFag · 12/10/2023 20:38

It's a widely acknowledged fact that hamas don't give a shit about the Palestinian people. That's not what they are fighting for.
So quite why Israel thinks bombing and killing innocent Palestinians will stop hamas in their tracks i have no idea.
It smacks of simple revenge rather than 'wiping out hamas' at the root cause.

Israel have already pretty much admitted failing to protect Israeli Jews over the weekend. Can't help but think they're continuing to fail them with this retaliation. It's not going to solve anything or keep anyone safe.

Please give this a watch. Seems unsurprisingly that not only have they cut off basic utilities but are deliberately targeting communications. No witnesses, No means of getting information out.

Seems like news coming out of Gaza will also be shut down now as residents won't have the means to share it.
Ffs I'm so utterly disappointed in the PM. How on earth can the man support this? Condemn Hamas AND the siege. I feel let down that so many people may think he speaks for the UK, when so many are disgusted by the actions on both sides and absolutely do not lend their support to either attack.
