@TheFirmBiscuit thank you for posting the Gideon Levy article, it’s a suburb read and every word is so true. He is a very good man.

Also I love your introduction. We have far too many of those politicians around the world at the moment, don’t we? From our terrible bunch in the UK to the German Government to Javier Milei in Argentina… Just at a time when we need capable and selfless leaders, we seem to have the absolute opposite!

Although Spain, Norway, Belgium, Ireland and Brazil are giving me hope on the Palestine issue, at least.

Well done to Ireland, Spain and Norway, and a very good speech from the Irish PM. 🇵🇸👏🇵🇸👏🇵🇸👏🇵🇸👏🇵🇸👏🇵🇸👏🇵🇸👏🇵🇸👏🇵🇸👏🇵🇸👏🇵🇸👏🇵🇸

I did a search on MN and there have been posts on all those conflicts and more. Perhaps the “not Jews = no news” applies to you more than to those you accuse?

Slovenia to recognise a Palestinian state by mid June.

So you had to do a search? Proves my point. You don’t have to search for anti-Israel posts. They’re there all the time

Weird how there haven’t been similar posts about any other wars.

Are you saying that posters should think of Israel as being the equivalent of Assad, the Chinese, Iran etc rather than a modern, civilised state at the right hand of the USA, Britain and other European democracies, with a number of Israelis who may also actually American or British?

'Doing a search' is how you find things on a site like this. You click on the search or advanced search tool, type in what you want to find, and it appears. It's not indicating anything is hidden or hard to find.

It doesn’t prove your point. Your point was no one ever discusses these other conflicts. But they were all discussed.

You may not have seen them because the active discussion lists a random fifty discussions updated within the last hour.

It’s never going to list threads that happened weeks, months or years ago.
Or threads that hit the max 1000 posts and were finished/closed out,

It’s not like these threads are hidden or never go no attention at the time these things were being discussed. The Syrian civil war, one of your examples, was almost a decade ago…

The search function is how you find threads that happened or even threads going on now that didn’t get selected by the random AI to list in active discussions.

“By the age of 14, he had survived the Holocaust; by 44, he was an Israeli diplomat; now, at the age of 94, Theodor Meron recommended the ICC seek arrest warrants of Israeli and Hamas leaders for war crimes and crimes against humanity"

ICJ has just ruled Israel must halt its Rafah offensive immediately!

CNN Interview: “Is Israel committing humanitarian crimes in Gaza? The Israeli gov’t strenuously denies it.

Aryeh Neier, a giant in the world of human rights who escaped Nazi Germany and later cofounder Human Rights Watch, says the answer is yes.”

The latest IDF deployment in Rafah is burning displaced people alive in tents.

This is an image from Al Jazeera’s video. Sky news has a similar image.

What have they gained? How many Hamas terrorists have actually been killed, or tunnels destroyed after all this? I don’t know what the answer is but too much is clearly wrong.

The footage is shocking. Sadly not the first airstrike on refugee camps full of displaced in humanitarian safe zones. The navy has been doing sea based strikes all up and down the coastal parts.

It's so upsetting. People ask why we protest and its because of this. Because I'm lying in my warm bed seeing horrific images of children who have been brutally killed. The feeling of hopelessness and helplessness. Somebody has to speak out for those poor children, we can't just pretend it isn't happening. Another area that was supposed to be a safe area, children who had been displaced who knows how many times in the past 7 months, children who have endured hunger and fear and loss, all for it to end like this. It's horrific, endless cruelty.

@BelleHathor it really does, doesn’t it?

This is excellent. Everything I was thinking but could not put into words.

“I cannot do my job in an environment in which specific people cannot be acknowledged as fully human, or where gender and human rights principles apply to some, but not to others, depending on their race,” he wrote.

Saying what we are all seeing 👏👏👏

I’m not sure where to post this, it’s about the US press conferences -

Well done to the brave Israeli citizens standing up to the settlers who were trying to block the aid from getting through.

Yeah his article really covered the complexity of the situation.

This article was trending, it basically argues that the requirement for the Israeli Government to avoid civilian casualties is based on a Christian understanding of society.
