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?

Agree about some of these shocking comments today. Apparently the refugee camps with built structures aren’t ‘refugee’ enough. It’s like starving people aren’t thin enough. Ffs whats wrong with some people.

As I said Palestinians are not acting like the right kind of victims. They need to not tell anybody about the atrocities be grateful for any aid (don't forget to queue nicely and at the right times) and let their children die with dignity (while collecting their body parts).

I’m waiting for comments that they should all be grateful the Israeli Government are so kind to ‘look after’ them in a tiny corner of Gaza. It won’t be long …

@ForgeOfEmpires Veiledsentiments has been posting nonsense all day.

Have I hell. I have disagreed. And you can’t call me out on it. And it has upset you and others.

If you can’t take it, then move on.

You have been presented with irrefutable evudence - in the form of a video confession - and jnstead of acknowledging it, you brush it off with “that’s just my opinion.” Several people have already called you out for this exact behaviour.

Now you’re doing it again—denying that UNRWA has promoted antisemitic content, despite irrefutable evidence. This isn’t speculative. UNRWA has been officially condemned by the European Parliament for using antisemitic and incitement-laden materials, particularly after October 7. There are UN reviews, NGO reports, and international findings confirming this. That’s not an “opinion.” That’s fact.

You move from thread to thread, cherry-picking snippets to support your narrative while deliberately ignoring or downplaying more recent, verified information. That’s textbook bad faith.

When your posts contradict well-documented, internationally acknowledged evidence and you dismiss that evidence with denial, it isn't your opinion, it's your strategy.

Enough already.

If you can't make your argument without so much intellectual dishonesty, your argument stinks.

The so-called "refugee camps" in Gaza are not tents in the desert—they are fully built-up towns and urban districts with permanent concrete buildings, markets, mosques, schools, hospitals, roads, and infrastructure. Places like Jabalia, Nuseirat, and Khan Younis camp have been functioning, populated areas for over 70 years.

The term “refugee camp” is used deliberately and politically to invoke the image of temporary displacement, as if these people were just recently uprooted and waiting to go home.

But that’s not the case. These are multi-generational communities—the residents were born and raised there. They are not refugees in any meaningful or legal sense under international norms.

No other group in the world passes refugee status down to great-grandchildren. This continued use of the term is not about accuracy—it's about keeping the conflict alive, reinforcing the narrative of dispossession, and preventing resettlement or integration. It’s time we called this what it is: a propaganda tool, not a humanitarian term.

It's a shame you can't engage the facts more honestly.

Israel and Israeli supporters on X etc do post propaganda full of lies I’ve already posted one just on this thread proved a lie by Reuters and others have fact checked the garbage coming out of many. Including Gazawood for example Your statement is incorrect. If you look back to the beginning of this war there’s plenty out there. Now proven as lies.

I have found X to extremely informative on the ‘other side if the story’ of what is reported in MSM which is the constant demonisation of Israel and the IDF.

Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, Hillel Neuer, Colonel Richard Kemp, Mr Andrew Fox, Imshin, and of course Gazawood.

I don’t know what the context was of the short story which turned out to be exactly what it was - the staged injury of a child which is questionable in itself. or what the caption was on Gazawood and whether it was stated it was during the war as I can’t see it in Reuters link. Looks like the post was removed anyway.

There are masses of other videos on that account which have not been proven as lies so I’m not going to write if off for just one which actually wasn’t a lie. It was the staging of a child being pretend injured. There are many others on there and if they were all for short films, you have to wonder how many short films the Gazans are in the process of making and why, when there is so much real death and destruction in RL anyway.

What video? From X? You believe that, but will dispute the video from a Palestinian ambulance driver. Whose colleagues were all killed and buried by the IDF? Who yet again, went Whoopsie, our mistake?
I’m not cherry picking. I am logically saying that some of the information, that you seem to know so much about, is actually not true.
Or are you talking about the 47 minute video streamed to journalists? And if so, where can I get a copy, because as far as I am aware, it’s not available.

Thank you. Saved me responding.
I’m surprised the ‘carpet bombing of tents’ hasn’t been flung into the mix tonight as well.

You were shown a video of Abbas speaking at a an official party conference after he signed his "decree" confirming that he would ensure the terrorist on pay-for-slay continued getting exactly the same sum.

You know exactly what I'm talking about as multiple posters called you out.

Stop playing games. You're rumbled

Actually I had forgotten. Sorry, the pay for slay thing. The pay for slay is a label that was created by Israel which was known as the martyr’s fund in the 1960’s by the PLO, when the Palestinians were legitimately resisting occupation. It is no different to any other counties support fund to fallen soldiers. It continues to the present day in order to support those Palestinian families whose bread winner have been thrown in Israeli detention centre, without trial under the auspices of administrative detention. Where is the problem?

No, you post things that are incorrect and won't admit your mistakes when they are pointed out to you. That is not the definition of 'disagreement'.

More absolute bollocks. They are not fallen soldiers. They are terrorists, murderers, rapists, kidnappers.

You've been skirting around the edge of open support for terrorism for a while now but I think you have crossed the line here. Pay for slay is different from other countries support for fallen soldiers and you k ow it. Not least because these 'fallen soldiers' are in fact terrorists not uniformed soldiers following the rules of war. They stab people in the street and bomb civilian buses, invade kibbutzim and murder young people at music fastivals.

SharonEllis · 12/07/2025 20:17

I would remind you not-so- @veiledsentiments that support for proscribed terrorist organisations is illegal.

Not the 47 minute footage (which rightly isn’t available to the general public. OJ didn’t see anyone actually get r*ped so they clearly didn’t and I believe Gal Gadot tried to do a private screening of it in the US but they got protested by people taking a stand so they had to cancel), but should still be good enough for you.

Are you for real? The " martyrs fund"basically pays people for killing Jews. They even pay the families of children who've killed Jews. It's a diabolical policy .There will never be peace in the middle east when there is a majority of people who are like you. Do you not want peace?

I have never said that I support proscribed terrorist organisations. I support the terrorised Palestinian people, as they have been for decades. Will you still be supporting Israel when they are internationally proscribed as terrorists by the UN following investigations for crimes against humanity?

The studies on UNWRA schools was conducted by an Israeli company with strong links to the Israeli government: Impact.se

https://badil.org/press-releases/13241.html

Is this company Independent in any way. Or did the Israeli Government pay for that study. Just trying to see if there’s anything legitimate and unbiased about it
