It almost feels like Israel also has the wests backing to obliterate Palestine. That's one of the reasons for the march, to say we dont stand with sunak in his beliefs. We dont want Israel to win. We dont want anyone to win. We want people to be left alone to live in peace, all people, in both Israel and Palestine.

Well Keir Starmer has the same beliefs along with most of the Shadow cabinet. David Lammy openly laughed at Jeremy Corbin in parliament the other day.

And then they are coming for the West . Remember the twin towers.

annabelindajane-I already said Hamas must be got rid of. Right now, the IDF is committing a multitude of warcrimes as we speak. And the IDF is far more powerful than Hamas ever will be.

Absolutely shameful.

Well much as I disagree with Jezza on everything it was incredibly disrespectful. Macron was sabre rattling today as well. Very worrying.

Baffled1989 · 24/10/2023 13:56

It’s official Gaza healthcare system has collapsed. No water, no power, no medicines left. Those babies on ventilators will die today. This is an international war crime that our PM is standing by. It makes me sick.

10UsernamesNotAvailableTryAnotherOne · 24/10/2023 14:04

Baffled1989-
Heart breaking. Those poor babies have done nothing to deserve this, neither have their parents. 😢

10UsernamesNotAvailableTryAnotherOne · 24/10/2023 14:07

I'm going to bed. It's very late where I am. Also, what's happening in Gaza is also far to much for me.😢

Baffled1989 · 24/10/2023 14:11

@10UsernamesNotAvailableTryAnotherOne its truly horrific, I’ve had to switch off social media for days at a time. There’s only so much dead bodies you can see in a day.

10UsernamesNotAvailableTryAnotherOne · 24/10/2023 14:18

Baffled1989-Agreed. It's so painful to watch. I think taking a break from social media is a good idea. Unfortunately they don't have that option. 😢 Goodnight. 🙂

therealcookiemonster · 24/10/2023 14:44

from the start I have intentionally not looked at the distressing photos or videos from either side. I just can't deal with it especially as there is nothing we can do as individuals. despite this, for the last week I have been dreaming that I had been walking through the rubble and dead bodies in gaza...

Ineedaholiday23 · 24/10/2023 14:48

Agreed, it's too much for me too, however we aren't the ones having to live through it. I can't imagine going to sleep each night not knowing if you are your children will be killed by a bomb from the sky, starve or die of thirst.

I cuddle my little one more than ever at the moment.

The fact that the PM and President of the US agree with what's happening and bankroll the bombs is utterly shameful.

Baffled1989 · 24/10/2023 14:53

Good news for Gaza, Israel will delay their ground invasion until the additional U.S. troops arrive to support Israel. Lucky lucky Palestinians. 🤢

Iwantcakeeveryday · 24/10/2023 14:56

Again people focus solely on Israel's response to the massacre. If they stopped and never bombed again, if they halved their military, do any of you think that would bring peace? This is simplistic thinking and it won't work, it'll just make jewish people in Israel more at risk. Why do you think they have that military? Because people around them what them dead.

We want people to be left alone to live in peace, all people, in both Israel and Palestine.

I don't think anyone here would disagree. So, what is your solution to bring this peace? Because there are two sides contributing here.

Do you know who bankrolls Hamas?

Ineedaholiday23 · 24/10/2023 14:58

Yes.

Iwantcakeeveryday · 24/10/2023 14:58

I'm going to keep asking... what is your solution to bring peace?

Ineedaholiday23 · 24/10/2023 15:00

No idea how you can ignore everything that's going on to be honest.

We are witnessing the continued murder of innocents, on a huge scale.

I really don't understand how you can type that. Really. How many times do posters have to say for you to accept the words? BOTH SIDES are and have behaved appallingly and what is happening to innocent people is wrong. I have said this many times. How is that ignoring anything??? You make no sense.
So now why aren't you answering the question being asked? Because you blame Israel solely and you don't give a toss what is happening to jewish people as a result of this, including because of the marches.

What is your solution to this?

Tatumm · 24/10/2023 15:22

I don’t agree with marching for the Palestinians. All it does is encourage anntisemitism and the press and politicians ignore it anyway. A strong diplomatic effort is what’s really needed to de-escalate the war, protect civilians and lead a process towards peace.

Baffled1989 · 24/10/2023 15:24

Tell me @Iwantcakeeveryday what is happening to Jewish people?

Are Jewish people being controlled by Palestine and not allowed to freely move and travel?
Are Jewish people being bombed and murdered in their sleep?
Are Jewish people being stripped of their basic human needs?
Have Jewish people had their water turned off?
Have Jewish people had their electricity turned off?
Have Jewish people had their medicines stopped? Their life saving cancer treatment stopped?
Have Jewish babies in NICU just had their incubators turned off?
Have Jewish people no longer got access to food, clothing, shoes, a bed?
Have Jewish people had their homes and land torched for the last 75 years?

I can keep going on if you like?

You are hell bent on asking for a solution. The majority want peace which means a two state solution. However Hamas has over the years convinced the Israeli government (not that it needs much convincing) that a two state solution is not possible. The people of Israel and Palestine want a two state solution, but that would not benefit the Israel government, or Europe, or Canada or the US. So now we protest. We protest until we bleed for our governments to listen, because that is all that we can do.

I think you mean Israelis, not Jewish people

Maybe the terrorists will give themselves up to avoid it then?

On October 7th they were, yes.

Exactly.

@Baffled1989 you are minimising what has happened to the people of Israel and jewish people now and throughout history. You have offered no solution to this conflict, you've solely blamed Israel and place responsibility on them alone to resolve it. Your latest post reeks of anti semitism and I shan't be engaging with you again.
