First thread here but it’s full
https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/4918938-to-think-its-turning-into-genocide-in-real-time?page=1

Medical Aid to Palestine posted this thread on facebook describing the scenes in Gaza as being like the last days of humanity with one of their staff members having to search through piles of bodies to find his 13 year old niece https://www.facebook.com/100064712829372/posts/pfbid028yxpzimtA3apA6CSs8dEhJBd16rYUQR6QjFidEpwRCZzPVYoeJezX8nDrtZP2UZRl/?app=fbl

The main stream press aren’t really addressing the horror of what is happening (bar maybe Channel 4 news and Al Jazeera) - it’s a sanitised version.

As I said in the original thread, there has been absolute horror on both sides but the Israeli government are inflicting collective punishment on the people of Gaza, which is a war crime under international law.

I still feel we are watching genocide in real time.

Just seen this on the news- how can this be right? It genuinely is starting to feel like genocide. What Hamas did was beyond appalling. But this i...

There is a leaked document showing Israel's plan to move all the Palestinians to the Sinai and empty Gaza with American and Western funding. Plus US incentives to Egypt. I haven't had time to read it properly but it seems to be following the strategy of Major general Giora Eiland An Israeli ministry, in a 'concept paper,' proposes transferring Gaza civilians to Egypt's Sinai | AP News

"the United States seems to be mobilizing political and financial support for Israeli transfer schemes. On October 11, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken confirmed that the United States was working with Egypt and Israel to create a “humanitarian corridor” in the Sinai for Palestinian civilians fleeing Gaza. Then on October 20, the White House sent Congress an official funding request to “address potential needs of Gazans fleeing to neighboring countries.” President Joe Biden has since stated that he recognizes the importance of preventing Palestinian displacement. But as one analyst noted, the funding request was a clear indication that the Biden administration was giving Israel a “green light” to carry out ethnic cleansing."

Lebanon will be next.

Coughingdodger · 31/10/2023 14:58

My feeling is that the US and Israel have a plan.
The UK is not in on it but wants to be.
Everyone else is not in on it but can see what’s happening and increasingly condemns it.

Coughingdodger · 31/10/2023 14:59

I should say the US and Israeli governments have a plan.
Ordinary Israelis will benefit if they keep their mouths shut.

Absolutely horrific scenes coming out of the aftermath of israeli airstrikes on the Jabalia refugee camp
No words can describe
We need a ceasefire now!

I think this has been referenced previously and someone tried to discredit the document as fake but as I understand it now it has been verified and published by wikileaks. I'm also tempted to think it's real because the IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari made it quite clear in a press statement a few days ago that the IDF planned to clear northern Gaza and then move south.

He did not explain how those who had evacuated from the north would be able to return. He delivered his message in English, clearly the Palestinians were not his intended audience! And he always seems to be borderline smirking when he delivers more IDF propaganda, the IDF YouTube channel would be hilarious if thousands of people weren't being killed.

I'm usually very anti violence but Daniel Hagari has a face I'd like to slap.

It seems clear to me that the Israeli governments intention is to start with genocide and clean up with ethnic cleansing. Anyone who listened to Netanyahu a few days ago can be in no doubt, "you must remember what the Amalek has done to you". Blogging Theology on YouTube has done a detailed analysis of this speech.

Israel clearing their way down south, pushing Palestinians further towards Egypt or just killing those that stay.
The camp recently bombed reputed to be the most densely populated place on earth.

A genocide and ethnic cleansing it is clear. As the government say "a good Arab is a dead Arab" and schools are reporting they are concerned how the students behaviour us being influenced by politicians.

Iran has officially declared war on Israel I believe now

Just for clarity it's the Houthi group in Yemen, an Iranian proxy, who have declared war.

Thank you @FOJN . I admit I don't know anything about them. So I can't comment further

I googled for clarity because my first thought was "oh shit". I won't be surprised if Iran do declare war.

Fairtobefairohhhhhc · 31/10/2023 18:52

Yes I wasn't sure at first. So thank you for clarifying. Although I don't really know what this means.

This is what wiki says about them. I thought the Israel/Gaza situation might unite Saudi and Iran so I think their intervention will add further complications to an already volatile situation.

Absolutely horrific scenes today across Gaza and the West Bank. A family in a car being blown up by a tank when they were trying to evacuate, a huge bomb being dropped on a refugee camp and kidnapped men and boys in the West Bank being tortured by Israeli soldiers who recorded it and uploaded it onto the internet.

I’m sickened. Sickened by what’s happening and sickened by the ordinary people who are cheering this on.

The only glimmer of hope is that I’ve seen more and more people calling this out now.

Fairtobefairohhhhhc · 31/10/2023 19:20

@Sippingmytea 100% agree. Those poor people. The only glimmer of hope they have now is that if they die, they die instantly. I saw a Palestinian say this. Their faith is so strong they have accepted it will probably happen and their only wish is that they die instantly and in one piece.

I saw another family say they where trying to decide if they should split children up between family so that there was more chance of some of their family living on or if they should all shelter together and die altogether. What a thing to have to even think about!!

LolaSmiles · 31/10/2023 19:23

This is on the BBC Live updates

Israel's military has confirmed that its jets carried out the attack on the Jabalia refugee camp in Gaza
The IDF says the strike killed a senior Hamas commander and caused the collapse of Hamas's underground infrastructure

Well that's ok then, who cares about attacking a refugee camp as long as you got one guy you wanted.

What is it people say on relationships threads? "When a man shows you who he is, believe him". I think the IDF are showing the world EXACTLY who they are.

Israel are taking revenge and the world is giving them the weapons and the applause. Utterly sickening and heartbreaking. They are attacking innocent defenceless people and they think they are heroes. The world is absolutely complicit in this genocide. Our government continues to be shameful.

Fairtobefairohhhhhc · 31/10/2023 19:43

@Horrificallyuntidy thus video literally just popped up on my Instagram. It's bloody awful and makes my blood boil!

And they are calling Palestinians terrorists!! I have no words left.
