You’re going to die if you don’t eat.

[SheThinksShesAllThat]

Those prisoners starving themselves, what the hell is going on in this crazy world!!!!

Pro Palestine activists are on a hunger strike, I really hope you get the result you want, the people of Gaza remember you seven kids who died for…… oh for them! 😂

I watched an interesting interview months ago now a young guy who was born in Israel then his father ended up being one of the head chiefs ( killers) in Hamas he know lives back in Israel after escaping…. His wise words were…. ‘ you lot in the west have no idea what is going on, with your protests and flags, stop trying to get involved in something we can and won’t be able to change’
This comes from a person on both sides who stayed very humble but very blunt.

Stop your silly little hunger strike, go and enjoy time with your family and friends you are lucky enough to be able to do that.

Oh yes I know what you were saying. And I think you understand my point too.

Refusing military service in Israel is punishable by jail. There are conscientious objectors in Israel. Not all Israeli young people want to get into IDF uniform.

That's because moderate Palestinian leaders were detained or murdered by Israelis across decades. There are many many scholarly books to read about how this was done to suppress protest

I’m not derailing the thread by going into Sudan, the Rohingya refugees or, indeed, the protest marches.

Yes I support the Refusers Network of Israelis who will not serve in a genocide

Absolute rubbish, murdering thousands of civilians by bombing, starvation, snipers, burning alive is NOT self defense. If Hamas never cared about their people or hide behind then, that does not give Israel the right to what they have done. Theirs no Hamas in the West Bank so what’s the excuse there? Israel are a genocidal terrorist state. I cannot fathom that people can defend or excuse any of Israel’s actions when there’s clear documentation and evidence of the atrocities they have committed.

Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, according to the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem. I suppose they’re all anti-Semitic as well?

The sooner the better!

I really don’t want to hyperbolic but I think a lot of the Free Palestine people are mentally unwell. It’s become much larger than the Gaza situation. People have made it their entire identity. Many people are in horrific circumstances all around the world. It feels like social contagion. I have no real explanation.

I personally do think Israel has gone too far. I certainly supported them initially as they have a right to defend their country. But I don’t think you can deny aid wasn’t given in as effective manner as possible. and that is abhorrent. Still am not pro Hamas though

Zero sympathy for them.

They are choosing to go on hunger strike, which as prisoners, is their right to do. However, they do not have the conviction to go on an actual hunger strike, they are merely not eating for a few days, then another member of their group takes over. They are ridiculous, as are the MPs who are pandering to them. Am almost embarrassed for the lot of them - by this I mean the MPs, their supporters and the group themselves. Idiots the lot of them.

One of the beat a policewoman with a sledgehammer.

So they’re basically fasting for a few days? How often do they repeat their fast? Depending on how slim they were to begin with it could take years for any health concerns to be seen.

In other news.......

It's been going on for a very long time between Palestine and Israel it's nothing new. We have no right to be involved. It's a war about politics, religion and land. They have to work it out or continue to fight it out. Social media has made people more aware of what's going on but it's not our place to say whose wrong or right. They will never see eye to eye.

Where have you heard the information that they’re on a rolling hunger strike?

No it isn't.

100%

Which poster in particular do you think would say that. Do you really feel the need to create a fictional person with fictional ideas and reactions to make you feel better about yourself? How utterly sad and bizarre .

Do you have the same view of tge allied forces in WW2?

Actually there is much to suggest the UN has quite a bit of anti Semitic bias yes.

That doesn’t matter to these idiots. They’ve been brainwashed to undermine the stability of western society. Hence they think it’s ok to attack our military. They’re the same people who go round whipping up hatred towards police therefore making their jobs even more difficult and unsafe.

Mmm, I don't think the timing is particularly helpful for PA on this one. It would always have been difficult in that the UK has a strong cultural record on not acquiescing to hunger strikers, even ones that aren't completely cringe like this lot. But the wider climate isn't so favourable.

It's not a genocide though, its a war. Why didn't they pop over to Sudan where there actually is a genocide and try to do something about that? Where literal multiples of the hamas alleged casualties have been killed within weeks. No, they don't really care about that do they. No jews, no news I guess.

I've seen videos of gazans, not just hamas, attempting to hack the heads off thai workers while they were still alive. "Regular" gazans killed parents in front of babies and took hostages. I stopped there, but they live streamed worse atrocities than that. They literally documented what they did, I don't see how you can deny it happened? Most of the "idf bad" videos are ai slop or staged hamas propaganda.

No, there isn’t.

Criticism of Israel is not antisemitism. No matter how you try to dress it up.

100% bollocks.
