A famine has been declared in Gaza city

Meanwhile, up to 80,000 troops are being prepared to start an offensive there. There are no longer any words

Well it doesn’t all just end, does it? Palestinian people will be facing decades of rebuilding their destroyed homes and infrastructure (if they’re allowed to stay on the land). Malnutrition can have life long effects on the babies and children. People will be growing up orphaned or grieving their loved ones (including the families of hostages and IDF soldiers). Education will suffer without the infrastructure. Plus the settler movement in the WB means more Israeli state endorsed violence, pain and loss for Palestinian people. So no, it doesn’t just end. The impact of this war will affect the Palestinian in particular for decades. And that’s if they’re allowed to stay in Gaza/WB.

Hate? Really?

Can you not disagree with us, oppose our opinions, challenge like a grown up?

It's as if this whole conflict has taught you absolutely zilch.

Hate. Lovely.

All good, here 👍

Make no mistake, Gazan culture as we knew it is gone. Even the youngest babies will grow up traumatised. Even if they live, things will never be the same.

because Israel is at war with a TERRORIST organisation that wants to kill all jews, eradicate Israel and wage war against the west (it’s a proxy for Iran after all, which has called for the destruction of the west) and you wonder why it has the backing of the US? Have you read a book?

I wouldn’t say I hate people who actively sit and endorse genocide. I’d say I have complete indifference towards them. If they value human life so low, why should I value their opinions?

The Palestinian people, having been robbed of their land, have a right to self determination and statehood. How do Israeli apologists suggest they should go about this, given that willingness to negotiate never got them anywhere, and they do not have an army or other means of retaliation?

And in return for that terrorist organisation, Israel wants to kill all Palestinians.

You didn't answer my question.

Israel isn't being held to a 'higher standard' it's being judged on internationally agreed standards and humanitarian directives. You can't just brush off the deliberate slaughter and starvation of innocent civilians with 'people die in war'

It will take people to take a stand against Israel and take strong action- not just ignore or “condemn” from afar. I honestly do not know what it will take for that to happen though.

Please do and I completely agree

I also hate every government official who actually has power and chooses not to use it to end suffering.

Such a shame Hamas don’t use the billions they receive from Qatar to put towards feeding Palestinians and rebuilding their homes.

Be indifferent fine as I am to your views. No-one is endorsing genocide just disagreeing with the definition some apply here. As we keep saying if they wanted to wipe everyone out in gaza this would have been over a long time ago,

The pp saying she hated those who disagreed with them is rather appalling imo.

I have been
For a long time

I Still do and I can hate them at the same time.

Actually, I’ve changed my mind.

I loathe anyone who can sit by and justify this. I don’t know how you can sleep at night.

Monty you have clearly swallowed the sound bite dictionary.

I have read books lots of them in fact and enough to know that Israel as an Occupying Power has many responsibilities for the state of the current conflict. So does Hamas and so does the USA.

Absolutely
More direct action by Governments against Netanyahu and the IG could have saved thousands of lives

If those actions had happened well before October 7th it would never have occured

I sleep fine at night knowing a terrorist state will soon be beaten and the gazans will hopefully live in peace.

Because it’s not deliberate slaughter. We know Hamas use civilians as human shields. We know they hide in hospitals and schools. We know they don’t care about Palestinians. We know they steal aid and food and live luxury lifestyles in other Arab countries away from the horrors of the war. We know they want the complete annihilation of Israel and the Jewish people. We know they will attack Israel again and again with the backing of Iran if they are allowed to regain control of Gaza. We know all these things, and yet you cannot bring yourself to blame anyone but Israel.

But you know they won’t. Because their country has been destroyed.

‘A terrorist state’ !

are you saying everyone in Gaza is a terrorist ?

You are deluded, but I'm hardly surprised.

It's deliberate slaughter which people try to excuse by saying 'yeah but Hamas' - as I said before, we're way past that. And by 'we' I mean rational sentient people, not pro-Israel Speak-Your-Cliche bots.

Why would countries (well apart from the usual Terrorist run ones) want to invade Israel? Would that make you happy? Very strange comment.

No Ukraine shouldn't surrender to Putin's invasion. Again strange comment makes no sense in light of why Israel launched a war on Hamas compared to why Putin invaded his neighbour who didn't launch a mass terrorist and kidnapping free for all on it's neighbour.

None of what you have said makes any sense at all no matter what political leaning one might have.

The argument that makes no sense being, of course, that a full blown genocide is not a rational response.
