In the wake of the tragic events that took place in Manchester, I want to implore people not to lose steam or, more importantly, hope.

Gaza is still facing destruction, famine and genocide.

We need to continue to peacefully pressure our government to take action and sanction the Israeli government and to educate and inform people about the horrors faced by the Palestinian people day in and day out for the last two years.

People who opposed the liberation of Palestine want for this to be a turning point. For people to point the finger at a movement that wants to see the end of the suffering of millions and label it as inciting hate.

It's not.
And it's important.

Please don't put down your passion for Gaza.

Very helpful. So you don't care to point out propaganda that should be avoided, only to state vaguely that it exists.
Fantastic.

We'd be here all night if I did. Feel free to google the words Palestinian, propaganda, Iran and Qatar all together. You're welcome.

Wrong. NB and Hamas both break the terms continuously. They don’t want peace and are in bed with other. They need each other.

I am pretty sure Israel would like not to have rockets rain down on them, have children i.e. teenagers, not use sling shots at their soldiers (these things are lethal, think David and Goliath, that's what is being used) and would prefer not to have Israeli women (and women visiting Israel) gang raped by Hamas and friends. Hamas, on the other hand, has nothing to lose and their aim is the destruction of Israel (which is one of several states e.g. Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, set up between the 30s and 40s in the carving up of what had been the Ottoman Empire) and the destruction of all Jews - that's what 'globalise the intafada' and 'from the river to the sea' mean, and I do not support that destruction.
Having Hamas run a country is like letting the IRA run a country - oops, we already did that, perhaps not repeat with an even more vicious terror group?

thepariscrimefiles · 04/10/2025 16:57

Hamas has agreed to release all hostages in return for Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails, as well as surrender governing power in the Gaza Strip, in accordance with Trump’s plan.

They have now. And they still want to have a part in running Gaza - a terrorist group bear in mind, that has murdered most of the hostages they took and raped most of the women hostages.
Edited for grammar.

One might almost think there’s an international Jewish conspiracy at work…? Where’s my bingo card?
More seriously, it is worrying that you assume that all these posters must be Israeli bots simply because they hold a different view to you. Why is it that you find it so hard to believe that people are capable of disagreeing with and challenging your views because they independently have looked at events and reached varying conclusions that don’t accord with yours?

Accusations without evidence
Actions without evidence

Farage speaking on youtube isn’t evidence

There's literally loads of videos online. Dan wooderton even has a a full video of them on his channel. Nigel farrage made a speech on the celebrating which i linked previously. You people hate jews so much that you refuse to accept the appalling behaviour of these gouls who are doing the free palestine protests. Jews here are scared and have been for a while because of these people. They live here and should feel safe here. It's absolutely disgusting.

We all know who hated jews in our history and anyone who continues to make them feel threatened and unsafe should be ashamed.

I think sadly they will deny deflect and misdirect .
It might work on those who are only reading things like Mumsnet forums but not on everyone else who gets a wide variety of media.
Oh course they deny their Jew hatred, of course they deny the absolute savagery displayed at the marches.

MrsSkylerWhite · 04/10/2025 20:04

All human suffering and dehumanisation is equally wrong. There are terrible atrocities being committed around the world. People on threads relating to the Government of Israel’s actions towards the people of Palestine are often asked “why aren’t you out protesting those?”.
Some are, of course but an awful lot of people are particularly troubled by what they see as complicity by the governments of the UK and the US, amongst others, in arming Israel. I think that is largely what many are protesting against.

I am listening to you but I just feel there are other agendas here at play.

Disrespectfully, I wouldn't wipe my arse with that article.
The man knew exactly what he was doing.

I agree. I also recognise a shit-stirring racist when I see one. "lovely black guy". For a journalist he doesn't seem to know that Black should be capitalised when talking about a person.

I’m sorry but when you align with Farage, you lose credibility.

Well I don’t know what Farage said but it doesn’t sound good that you are rejecting things just because of where the information comes from.

Because there's just so much of it, I really wouldn't know where to start. Plus, I credit MNers with the common sense to be able to search something all by themselves from a variety of sources and use their critical faculties, so as to avoid being accused of HASBARA. It's odd that you'd call it an outlandish claim, IRI and Qatari state and private funding for Palestinian and anti-Israel propaganda is well documented. Again, you can look it up on your preferred search engine.

Bananadramaa · 04/10/2025 20:18

These accusations are continuously being thrown about and when called out , no response. It’s just a constant push of misinformation and gas lighting.
Real propaganda machine at work. Many posters working with the same agenda. Can you not see it?

You didn't do that Google I suggested.

ETA and I'd expect all sorts to come up, which I can also read and understand because I have critical faculties. That's why I recommend people do it themselves rather than expecting to be spoonfed.

Thoroughly depressing read 😬.

Very much recognize the dialog.

That article basically says everything we already know. - the frightening thing is the people that have been recruited to attend these marches, by being convinced they’re the kind intelligent ones (oh the irony) just cannot see it at all can they. They can’t see what the rest of society sees, people brainwashed to believe the unbelievable- I wonder how many of them also believe TWAW

Who said the entire state is evil?

From this very thread, @Questionairballoon:
""Israel, the state, is evil'"

Also this month on the forum:
"The Israeli State is evil"
^"Israel are also evil"^

I'm sure you could find more yourself if you go back a bit more, but doubt you'll want to know

She won’t want to know .

Evidence of Jewish hatred on this thread … there is none but I can’t wait for your evidence of that

Evidence of Savagery displayed on the marches ( plural so more than one )
wow savagery !!!! no less. I’ll be very interested to see that evidence

Once again, provided sources for your opinions if you will parrot them like they are facts.

It's a fact that governments, political parties and movements, regimes, media et al utilise propaganda, funded by state and private sources. The IRI, Qatari, Israeli and Palestinian governments are not exempt from this. It's weird that you want to keep picking a fight about this.
