Why cant we all go on strike re israels genocode? Obviously we don't want NHS to collapse and certain infrastructure has to keep moving but how are we not all screaming from the top of our lungs about Palestinians being starved and slaughtered. Money/loss of is where it will hurt those in power, sadly so many people don't seem to care or think this has anything to do with them but I'd like to think that at least half the UK population is as utterly distraught as I am about this. If everyone chose not to go into work as a form of protest surely the government would stand up and listen. Peaceful protest doesn't seem to cut it 🙄 I know it's not as simple as this and would take a LOT of planning, and not everyone would be paid for going on strike which is a privilege to even do so but I'm in utter despair about how this will ever stop and radical action seems needed!

Also out of curiosity, are people boycotting the likes of coca cola/Starbucks etc and those linked with supporting this Genocide?

Condemn what? Their existence? Right to protest? The woman who stands in my town with a board that says Stop Genocide?

I don't condemn her, that's for sure.

Well noted, thanks for clarifying.

I've been back to try to find out who the poster was. I think that post has, like so many on this thread, been deleted.

Hi, it was me that wrote "Housewives for Hamas". I was gutted someone had it deleted that post (free speech for Palestine Action but not for me) but glad it was so memorable it could not die.

Out of interest, how many children has that fed?

Wishing to see starving people fed is not political,
It's not taking sides, it's being human - and having a heart that beats for all, not just some.

With you there.

Keep the politics out, but it should also include ALL regions of the world where there is suffering.
