Please someone make it stop now

[Bellahadthese]

It's heartbreaking
The gaunt, haunted images of children who are being starved to death, the amputees, the orphans, the women who used ivf to have a child that was blown to bits, the 40 newborns left to starve to death in neonatal ward
The hospitals bombed
Charity kitchens and bakeries bombed
Aid workers bombed
Tents bombs
Schools bombed
No universities left
Nothing left
I don't want to hear ooh but Israel has a right to exist
NO state that behaves like this has a right to exist
How can anyone justify Israel's stance?
This didn't start on Oct 7
This isn't about hostages
This is about human rights and why you think it's okay for Palestinians not to have any
I was a kid when Band Aid came about and remember how we raised money for Ethiopia
The fact that this is a man-made famine is abhorrent
I know there are good people in Israel- none in government sadly- but the West has blood on its hands for allowing this slaughter
Be honest you don't think that Palestinians are human do you that's why you don't care
I will never believe the western lie of democracy or human rights or freedom of speech again
It's all a big fat lie

It's not whataboutery to highlight in a thread about making the war stop that it's only Hamas that can stop it.

But it's been jumped on by "whataboutery" apologists.

I don’t think that’s a fair summary of what happened to this thread considering the OP outed themselves as a rape denier on the first page.

Ask Hamas. How ridiculous. Ask Hamas why Israel are planning on taking over Gaza. Ask Hamas where millions of displaced people are supposed to go.

Don't ask Israel. Don't criticise or condemn Israel. Don't even mention Israel in your post, its nothing to do with them.

Get real!!!!

A lot of people are probably unaware of the history of the creation of Israel. This problem started a long time ago. But for some the answer is always 7/10. Genocide is not an answer to this problem. So many people killed and over so many years. Now it has reached the point where Palestinians will probably no longer exist as a nation. Shame on the Western world for supporting these killings.

Ask Hamas. How ridiculous.

More ridiculous than asking me?

What can I do about any of it?

You know as well as all of us that hamas have been prepared for a truce but Israel don't want that. It will prevent them from getting everything they want.

Hamas have no power. It is Israel who hold all the cards and who need to stop.

I'm talking to randoms on mumsnet, and thats who im asking! I do not have an open chat with hamas!

Of course we have to mention 7/10, that and the promise of going it again caused this war

Of course Israel should stop bombing non combatants. We all know it. It is only the government's who do nothing. It is beyond sickening!

No. Started a long time ago. Long before 7/10. So many Palestinian refugees in places like Jordan will say “No, it started long before 7/10.

Hamas have no power.

It is Israel who can, and should, stop this now.

The Israeli government is taking advantage of all of its allies, but us people will never forget what Israel is doing now and what our governments have allowed them to do.

There's 2 ways this can end.

Israel ceasefire.

Hamas surrender.

Which would you prefer?

Hamas could release the hostages to show they want peace?

We’ve lost our humanity, it’s over. I don’t think there’s any coming back from what is happening.

Those are refugees from previous wars when Arab countries attacked Israel and lost every time, much like now

This war started because of 7/10

Who's excusing Hamas?

Really stupid of Hamas to commit a massacre on 7/10 and promise to do it again then wasn't it

Can i ask the whataboutery crowd...

Do you think Israel would stop rhe bombing and give up the intention of taking over Gaza and displacing the entire population if Hamas surrendered??

India has just launched airstrikes @MrsSkylerWhite. It's on bbc news now if you're interested.

Yes.

Next question.

Yes

Oh look, an article from 2014 making reference to Israel's actions in Gaza. The genocide didn't bloody well start because of 7.10:

Me too.

I think reluctantly.

Why?
