👏👏👏

First Lush were 'dispicable' for closing their stores in protest of the starvation in Gaza now Hugh is an idiotic grandad. Some people just really can't stand it when people speak out for Palestinians.

Seems more like he sandwiched it in so quickly so that in replays it's not able to be edited out.

If you are still making “both sides” of this argument, you haven’t been paying attention to what is actually happening in Gaza right now.

Yes, he played it very well, didn’t he.

Nice bit of casual ageism there.

I think the manner in which he went about it was very clever. ITV will have to choose between allowing it in replays or not showing any interview footage with one of the big "stars" of the show. He spoke very quick that there wasn't an easy spot to cut in and out for editing.

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza actually ISN'T being talked about enough or very much in the West. The government and the media, esp the BBC, have supported or ignored Netanyahu's horrific actions. We barely get updates on what is happening each day unless you watch Al Jazeera, and half of their journalists on the ground there have been deliberately assassinated by the Israeli regime.

So take your tone deaf slow clap and open your eyes.

But perhaps you prefer to be blinded by propaganda?

Well done him.

Huge Bonneville doesn't even have grandchildren.

Ad hominem attacks seem to be the only defence now.

Why on earth was my comment at 11.08 deleted MNHQ?

Its very rare for people to post in support of the current Israeli government on this forum. I expect those that do have knowledge of interal Israeli politics that I don't have. Speaking for myself as a a strong supporter of the State of Israel I have never expressed support politically for the government.

Or having people deleted when they touch a nerve.

Beats me.

Yet, Purple's ageist comment still stands.

You oppose the Government of Israel, in respect of its policies towards the people of Gaza, then?

Do you support a two state solution, SharonEllis?

I wonder what you’ve been reading and where you’ve been looking then?

Every MSM organisation, including the BBC, has been sharing Hamas propaganda daily ad nauseum for almost 2 years! Any rebuttals from Israel are a small paragraph at the end of the article in most cases.

Take the pictures of the children with medical conditions touted as proof of famine?

The claim that a child was shot by the IDF at the GHF aid site?

Gaza is discussed more by MPs in Parliament over UK affairs like the state of the NHS.

Hell, I think this board probably has had more threads on it after the main boards like AIBU and Chat.

There’s more Palestinian flags in the UK than any other country including our own.

More marches and protests on the streets than for any other cause.

Have you looked for daily updates on what’s happening each day on any other war?

Yes.

Some yes, some no. I don't vote there though.

Good to agree.

I just have absolutely no idea why you would think I didn't.

Good for him. It's not like we can't see what is going on. Anyone trying to discredit people speaking out by harking backwards simply has no power any longer.

What on earth are you talking about? Gaza has had 4 articles on bbc in last 24h. Uyghurs, Yemen, Sudan ( apart from unrelated landslide) all 0. Ive had 3 notifications from the Guardian this morning. Mumsnet has its own section of the forum for Israel / Gaza? How can you say Gaza isnt being talked about? Its like Big Brother in here sometimes 😬

I mean here we are on a forum for Gaza, talking about Gaza, on a thread about some actor talking about Gaza, and you're telling me we dont talk about it very much, while we're actually talking about it on an active thread?

And you're telling me to open my eyes? Laughable.

It wasn't me. I haven't reported anyone. I'm agreeing furiously with you and Hugh.
