To think UN should now be in Gaza as a peacekeeping force

[ArtfulGoldWriter]

Seriously, when even the Daily Express are even calling mass forced starvation and putting pictures like this on their front pages.

Surely the UN could act as a peacekeeping force and stop this insanity?

Its obscene.

Oh yes cos everything was hunky dory for the Palestinians before October 7th living in their own country as second class citizens plagued by these monstrous settlers

@Flumpflimpo I’m happy to be corrected here because my understanding of the issue is not complete but after ww2 Britain and the US were instrumental in annexing the land that Isreal is on now and setting up Isreal as we now know it - essentially a safe haven for Jews after the horrors of the war. So we essentially hung our hat on supporting Isreal and let Palestinians pay the price for Germany’s actions. A huge amount of our support of Isreal is based on not questioning our actions in 1948.

My own personal belief is that while I understand the need was there for Jewish people to have a homeland. I’m not sure what cost I think is acceptable. Certainly not the deaths of all of these children. Hindsight is of course a wonderful thing to have in an incredibly complex geo-political situation and i genuinely don’t know how it should have been done instead. I know a lot of people believe the US essentially wanted to set up a stronghold in the Middle East which is why they support Isreal - I do t know enough about US politics though to have an opinion on that either way.

Even if you did see something, no evidence its true.
says it all

Please do copy and paste the article as its behind a paywall

Honestly your genocide denial is disgusting.

What an utterly vile comment.

Starving children in Gaza have been verified by countless medical professionals, aid workers, and independent bodies. Infants die long before adults in famine conditions- that’s basic biology, not a conspiracy.

If your first instinct when faced with the image of a dying baby is to accuse their family of faking it because they don’t look thin enough for your standards, that says far more about your humanity than theirs.

Here are just a few of the many verified reports:

UNICEF: https://www.unicef.org/press-releases/famine-like-conditions-and-child-deaths-gaza
The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jul/23/israel-gaza-starvation-humanitarian-groups-letter
CBS News: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/palestinians-killed-trying-to-reach-aid-gaza-israel-officials-say
UN Human Rights Office: https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2025/06/gaza-un-experts-warn-famine-and-urge-access-humanitarian-aid

I posted a link to it earlier in another publication and explained the Haaratz one was behind a paywall.

Maybe some palestinians support hamas because they are sick of israel abusing their country?
Support for terrorists doesnt come from nowhere.

Then Israel should let foreign journalists in to see what’s going on (if they’re brave enough).

The IDF is behaving worst than many 'terrorist' organisations right now.

Definitelty though probably trying to help

the UK has caused some of the problems that are still ongoing today

They would be taken hostage immediately. Hamas aren't very reasonable types.

Do you have any evidence at all to back up these outlandish claims?

Vile. Rape is not resistance.

You have spoken lots about what hamas do.

What do you think about the IDF killing children?

Here’s an another article about it.

https://www.jpost.com/israel-hamas-war/article-785378

Where did i write the word rape?

Oh right i didnt.

I could also say to you "killing children is not resistance is it"

so why are the IDF killing children?

I think it is horrific that dc may be harmed because hamas use gazans as human shields

I can correct you as that is totally historically wrong.
The us had nothing to do with it for starters.
The brits had control of mandatory Palestine and were sick and tired of policing the fighting between Palestinian Jews (living there, legally owning and buying land) and Palestinian Arabs. They asked the UN to help solve the problem. The un set up a commission in early 1947 (and bunch of countries led it but not Britain or any security council member). They recommended a partition plan. This partition plan was then voted on at the UN in November 1947 and passed.
However Arabs refused to accept the plan. Palestinian jews did.
A nasty civil war began. Brits were desperate to leave and did so in all the chaos in May 1948. The day the Brits left, the Palestinian Jews declared the state of israel. No one declared a state of palestine BTW. Hence Israel came into being.
This is all verifiable historical fact.

Israel has murdered 186 journalists.

Start a thread then.

Why should we shut up about this atrocity because there's others?

The most non sensical, ridiculous argument.

Nah, theres no way any decent parent feeds themselves and not their child. These kids clearly need medical aid but food is quite obviously not the problem.

I would say I’ve seen some very skinny looking gazans and some who are very well rounded. There is a problem with even distribution and it’s been going on for a long time, probably because those with connections are getting food whilst those without have to buy food that’s supposed to be free off Hamas. I saw a particularly stupid tweet where journalists in gaza were saying they were so hungry that they were drinking salt water and one of the the journalists was obese. Also saw a tweet where some poor man was trying to buy food that’s supposed was supposed to be aid and the seller was charging extortionate prices. If you are not hamas aligned you aren’t going to get food.

Hamas with press vests on?

Hamas are rapists, they have raped women.

You claim supporting terrorists doesn’t come from no where, you clearly have a line which if crossed enables the support of terrorists.
