This is a brilliant article.

This will be taught in schools one day and our grandkids will ask us but what did you do when you knew this was happening?

What did you do during the genocide in Gaza? | Arwa Mahdawi

When future generations read about Gaza with horror and wonder how we allowed a livestreamed genocide to happen, what will you say?

Great way to shut down any discussion....dying babies.

Honestly...

are you denying that it’s happening?
do you think i care that someone feels offended and that people are being called anti Semitic by calling out a genocide???
again i will say being against the israeli government is not anti Semitic neither calling what is happening a genocide.

Your posts are really quite disturbing

i couldn’t really give a damn about your misplaced offence when babies are dying for no good reason.

Well that's terribly short sighted of you, because its racial hatred that leads to the dead babies.

dairydebris · 24/05/2025 13:18

Yes. Because of Hamas. There you go, wasn't that hard was it?
Israel wouldn't even be in Gaza if it wasn't for the Hamas atrocities. Would they still be oppressing Palestinians? Yes. But would those 55k Palestinians still be alive to be oppressed? Yes.

yeh right.

dairydebris · 24/05/2025 13:21

hangingonfordearlife1 · 24/05/2025 13:20

yeh right.

Glad we can agree on this at least 👍🏼

what is disturbing is you think it’s fine to murder a whole country of people for the sake of getting to “hamas”

Comedycook · 24/05/2025 13:22

hangingonfordearlife1 · 24/05/2025 13:20

yeh right.

Level of debate has reached new lows. How insightful....yeh right 😂

All my posts calling out antisemites are being deleted. Why?

It is a regular occurrence on these threads, we are expected to be nice to antisemites but arent afforded the same courtesy.

Do you not believe that babies are dying from starvation and lack of medical treatment, ComedyCook?

SharonEllis · 24/05/2025 13:25

hangingonfordearlife1 · 24/05/2025 12:59

even IF hamas are guilty of all that it doesn’t negate the fact that palestinian people who are not all hamas are being collectively punished (war crime) murdered daily. babies and children are starving in their mothers arms while aid is being blocked. this is pure evil.

IF Hamas are guilty? You know that it is illegal to support Hamas, right? They are designated terrorist, 7th October was thoroughly documented.

Where did I suggest that?

My point was how can you ever debate anything, including anti semetism when the response is.... dying babies?

how does being against a genocide of human beings remotely make anyone an antisemite?

quantumbutterfly · 24/05/2025 13:28

So you're saying Israel let 7/10 happen, were they also responsible for the hamasniks actions that day?

I assumed myself that you must not believe it. So you believe that babies are being starved and are without medical care but you believe it is necessary? Is it? I’m just wondering why it is ok with you.

You’re use of

”Dying babies. Honestly …… ”

Suggested scepticism to me. I appreciate though that’s it’s not always easy to read intent into text.

That's not what I'm talking about.

How can anyone ever call out anti semetism or even discuss it when the response is but it's not as bad as dying babies....

You could shut down any debate on absolutely any topic by wailing about dying babies. It's a lazy way to get out of debating... because obviously no one thinks babies dying is a good thing

Thank you.

It is important to know that there are Israelis who oppose this too.

It can equally be argued that instantly labelling anyone disagreeing with Netanyahu’s government’s policy towards the entire population of Gaza an anti-Semite immediately shuts down debate but it appears to be the instant go to for some posters.

I wholeheartedly disagree with that Government’s policy, just as I wholeheartedly disagree with the policy of Hamas. Those views do not make me antisemitic or anti-Islamic.

That is literally not what she said. Anyone who can read can see that.

I haven't seen that. There are lots of posts on here criticising the Israeli government and no one considers them anti semetic....this whole you can't say anything without being called anti semetic line is getting tiresome now.

There’s quite a few who do but they are swiftly dragged away every time they try to speak out.

There are posters who are saying that if Jewish person tells you that something is anti-semitic then you accept it, in reference to criticism of Israel by Starmer so that is happening.
