To think someone has got to stop the mass killings in Gaza

[BotanicalCake]

We are back to hundreds of Gazans being killed each day after the so called ceasefire and over 50,000 now slaughtered, mostly women and children.
The bombing of hospitals, schools and 'safe zones' not being enough, they are now picking off paramedics. How much depravity is the world going to tolerate?

AIBU to suggest that the world leaders complicit in Netanyahu's genocide should all stand before the Hague?

Christ. Innocent hostages on both sides???? Waiting to obliterate Gaza? I’m lost for words.

It’s rampant crap. I’m trying to ignore it all in the hope that history and facts show these vile racists for what they are in the future. The shit I’ve read over the past year about Israel has proved to me how utterly imperative it is that the media only ever print verified facts, and how dangerous and influential propaganda is.

You obviously have a huge amount of arrogance and zero actual knowledge.

Errrr yes they are

Send the hostages back and the war ends.

Don’t disrupt their propaganda and anti Jew agenda with facts!

I was certainly hopeful for her. There were various news outlets, Israeli and other, reporting from her mother who said she might still be alive at the time - that she was in hospital. It’s not like I have a hotline to pedal Hamas lines.

It’s in the paper today. Maybe read 🤷‍♀️

To be clear the conditions are release the hostages and destroy Hamas. Very reasonable demands I think.

Why don’t you provide a link when you state things that aren’t widely known?

People like to see the source reporting the information so they can make up their own minds whether it’s a reputable source or not.

It’s in the Guardian. It’s online and free. If you have strong opinions on the situation then why aren’t you reading all you can about it ?

Apparently when the source is Israeli its lies and if the source is Al Jazeera it’s gospel truth.

Oh it’s in the paper, it must be true!

Even a link provides justification to their agenda. If the link supports Jews (Israel) then it’s to be questioned and called out as a lie, if the link supports terrorists or the Muslim brotherhood propaganda then it’s absolute fact. Apparently. It’s a nightmare. This whole situation has proved absolutely that it’s possible to be outwardly racist, to hold normal people accountable for a war, to single out only one nation as a terrorist state and feel that somehow you are on the side of humanity. I hope that in the future, what has happened to a people making up 0.02% of the world’s population will be seen as a crime and not as an aspiration.

I had read about it this morning actually but it’s just good practice if you’re having a debate to provide a link to your source if you’re talking about recent news.

Yes I used to think Al Jazeera was good for news but over this conflict they have shown a lot of obvious bias.

Hmmm

You are totally wrong there

Very disrespectful thing to claim

This is the link to the article in the Guardian @Jujujudo

Truth has a habit of doing that.

I commented because I wanted to.

the ethnic cleansing in Syria, mass killings in Pakistan, Putin’s barbaric unjustified mss murder in Ukraine, subjugation of women in Afghanistan, uncontrolled infanticide in China.

Could you show me where Western governments including our own, have said that they support the killings you mention, and that they support the perpetrators? Because that’s a major issue for me and my views on Israel’s actions. Nothing to do with ‘the Jews’. Not for me, anyway.

They lied about the personnel not wearing their Red Cross/crescent uniforms, UN uniform and fire fighter uniforms, they lied about killing terrorists as part of the group

Sorry, but I don't think you can make a blanket assessment on what all of the men were wearing - as one of the three men in the video footage is not wearing any sort of uniform at all. There's a fleeting glimpse of another man dashing behind the ambulance who also appears to be wearing dark clothing. All we can say for certain is that at least two of the men were wearing uniforms/high-vis vest.

But I do ask myself why Hamas would kill some [hostages] and keep some alive

I can think of a dozen reasons why some hostages may be killed by their captors: 251 hostages were taken on October 7, therefore some hostages were expendable, killing some hostages puts further pressure on the Israeli government, dead hostages are still useful to the terrorists as families want to retrieve the bodies of their loved ones, some hostages were close to being rescued and could not be moved to another location, non-civilian hostages are seen as legitimate targets, some hostages may be killed in revenge for Palestinian family and friends killed in the bombings/fighting - or out of frustration at the slowness of negotiations, some hostages may be witnesses or victims of atrocities carried out during captivity, or have knowledge of tunnels and command centres, some hostages may be ill or injured and a burden to their captors, some hostages may have tried to escape or became hysterical, defiant or difficult to deal with, some hostages were taken by other militant groups with a different agenda, some hostages may be disadvantaged by their nationality or ethnic group and some terrorists are simply sadist nutcases.

Why do you think that the uk supports Israel? Genuine question. Why do they fund and support them?
