Some people on this thread need to have a bit of a think about what the term genocide actually means.

The Palestinian population rose during the Gaza war. Israel facilitated vaccination against polio for 1000s of children.

And if you look at Hamas's own stats for the number of combatants killed, you'll see a very low civilian: combatant death rate compared to other conflicts in urban areas. Deaths in war are horrible. Urban warfare is horrible. Closing the border against refugees from a war zone *as Egypt did) is horrible. Building tunnels for warfare under civilians areas is despicable.

Throwing around the word 'genocide' means you've fallen for the Hamas propaganda.

Well done.

The man was lying on the floor, surrounded, having just been tasered. He did not need to be kicked in the head to keep the public safe, British police should only take action that can kill as a last resort.

He was still holding on to his knife.

The WHO carried out the polio vaccination programme for Palestinian kids, not Israel. Palestinians shouldn’t have to be grateful for not being murdered in their own country whilst getting vaccinations.

Who was trying to erase Polanski’s Jewish identity?
Trevor Phillips was talking about the pro-Palestine marches and how many Jews in London perceived them as hate marches. Polanski said he didn’t feel intimidated by these marches, to which Phillips replied: 'But you’re not all Jews', which is obviously true 🤷‍♀️

Polanski genuinely didn't understand that point. He was absolutely bewildered.

And Israel facilitated it.
After Hamas launched a pogrom.

Exactly this.

How sure would you be that there was no explosive device
