Please do all you can to object to the genocide of Palestinians

[Finallyloggedin]

It’s just heartbreaking. I’ve seen videos on twitter that are beyond anything I can even begin to describe. Palestinians are being murdered in their thousands and the western media is largely pretending it’s not happening.

The average age of the people who have been killed in Gaza is FIVE years old.

The UK media are not showing how the Israeli government is openly talking about, and cheerleading genocide now. Israeli government speaks about Palestinians as if they are not humans. They are saying women are targets as they can have babies. I’ve just read how, since October 7th they have taken over 5,000 Palestinians from the West Bank and tortured them. They were already routinely arresting Palestinians and taking them away from their family with no reason and no but this is not being adequately reported.

Please, please visit sites such as 972 magazine and declassified uk. The BBC, etc, unfortunately aren’t reporting the extent to what is going on.

Is your comment factual too?

Could you provide facts/links about the tourism industry in Gaza ,as well as the horse racing one, please?

It's pretty offensive to many to call Jesus a rebel rouser

Jesus was pretty famously against vengeance.

@Parkingt111 if you knew me at all in rl you would think that statement is hilarious...

Anyway... that what I meant

It shows a lack of understanding of his ministry and what he preached.
(I taught religious education for 20 years whilst having no faith.
I am no expert but I have some knowledge of the main religions).
This is indeed offensive as it reduces the holy status of Christ to someone who stirs up anger, hate and/or violence; the antithesis of who Christ is for Christians.

I meant 'rabble- rouser' apologies...

A person who says, does or writes things that make crowds of people excited or angry.

Again this comment ? You did it not a long time ago. And I remember replying to it saying that there is no “going on hols” as you go to other parts in the world and that mainly those going on hols are going for business or visiting family. Def not the type of hols and this is because Israel does not allow it.

but don’t worry once Israel has destroyed it all and built the homes and hotels … everyone will be able to go on hols

also, I’m happy you don’t see it as an open air prison. It’s a shame organisations around the world don’t agree with you and have got more reasons than “but they can have a horse racing, why are they complaining about the restrictions imposed on them!”

In that case, you appear to misunderstand the meaning of what a rebel rouser.

A Freudian slip?

I see you didn't mean in that way

@Auvergne63 ' a rock and roll instrumental song written by Duane Eddy?'

Please stop looking for offence where there is none intended.

No.
He didn’t live peacefully in Nazaraeth for sure and he was always on the road
His message was of forgiveness and reconciliation
He would be calling for the release of the hostages but also
Feed the hungry
Give water
Give shelter
Bury the dead
Free/visit captives and prisoners
Bury the dead

Your lack of knowledge is embarrassing. To whom are you referring as going on holiday or racing horses there?

@Stomacharmeleon some time ago you were going to get back to me about what you feel Palestinian resistance should look like - not what it shouldn’t - but what it should. Appreciate that we are all busy but saw that you have been posting so wonder if you can share your thoughts on this?

The irony!

A lot of the language from the Palestinian side and social media posts has been very emotive and misleading - genocide etc etc when the fact is Hamas chose to do what it did knowing full well this would be Israel's 9/11 as Hamas behaves very like ISIS and is a terrorist organisation, an enemy of the nations of democracy and peace like the US, UK and Israel.

This has all suited Hamas quite well as it was very concerned as presumably was Iran and our other enemies about Israel reaching agreements with countries near by.

Everything lies at the feet of Hamas.

The conduct of the IDF is hardly to be congratulated. You seem to be confusing Hamas - guilty and the innocent Palestinian people who have had their lives destroyed (if they haven’t already been killed).

Hamas is totally responsible for what they did on 07/10, the Israeli government/IDF for what they have done since then.
The argument that "they started it therefore I can do anything to them back" is the logic of a playground fight. I heard it so many times as a teacher.

Excellent post. I agree with you.

I think this is essentially correct and it clarifies what the IDF are undoubtedly trying to do in my opinion.

A new York Times investigation found Israel used 2000 pound bombs (one of the mosf destructive munitions) including in areas that it asked civilians to evacuate too. More than 200 zones that civilians were asked to move to were then bombed

The below is from the New York Times and contains some images that are upsetting

An older post but a good one.

@Finallyloggedin sorry would you mind reminding me what you asked me? Is it on this post? Sorry for not getting back to you.

Anyone who thinks Israel is undertaking a genocide of Palestinians simply doesn't know what the word means.
If you say so.
Hamas cannot fight the IDF like real soldiers
Maybe that's because they are not soldiers?
so their only weapon is to manipulate international public opinion to try to force a ceasefire. They do this with exaggerated and unsubstantiated claims of non-combatant casualties - blatant propaganda - on social media, exactly as the OP is trying to do here.
Please provide links to support your claims of exaggerated civilians casualties, otherwise your claims are unsubstantiated.
There can be no ceasefire until the IDF have killed every Hamas murderer they can catch, and destroyed Hamas' infrastructure to the extent they can never repeat that outrage. Expect nothing less.
In essence, it doesn't matter to you how many civilians die in the process.
Expect nothing less.
This sounds like a threat to me. Who are you threatening?
