Middle East Conflict | Netanyahu orders strikes on Gaza (p1161)

“I was very disappointed to see those protests go ahead last night.

I think that behaviour is fundamentally un-British. I think it’s dishonourable.

I would have wanted those individuals to just take a step back.

The issues that are driving those protests have been going on now for some time; they don’t look like they’re going to come to an end any day soon.

They could have stepped back and just given a community that has suffered deep loss just a day or two to process what has happened and to carry on with the grieving process.”

Well said Shabana Mahmood

It's an awful statement. Un-British?

Genocide is going on, we're facilitating the perpetrators, and it's not going to stop soon, so take a few days off. Keep calm and carrying on ethnic cleansing.

I can see a case for suggesting a moment of reflection. Perhaps Israel could take a day off in Gaza. But that statement isn't "calming" the situation.

You really couldn’t make it up.

You choose strange words.
Can you not think beyond the Daily Telegraph?
How do young boys become 'terrorists'.
Do you honestly believe peace will come once the entire population of Palestine has been moved to somewhere convenient for Trump ?
Even if Israel get there way and murder every single Palestinian, peace will not come.
It isnt about supporting Hamas, it's about understanding what makes a 'terrorist' and what can be done to change current methods to prevent people being radicalised.

I have oft marched in support of Palestine.
I do so as a humanitarian.
I do so in support of human beings forced to live under a terrible regime of occupation.
I do not support Hamas, nor Netanyahu, but I do believe that people have the right to food, a home, water, and peace.
In the absence of western journalists being allowed into Gaza, I am inclined to believe Human Rights Watch, the International Association of Genocide Scholars, Doctors Without Borders, Amnesty International, and the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention in their description of genocide in Gaza.
I will continue to march for humanity, and I do so surrounded by many Jewish people who march for the same reason.

Just to reinforce the point. The Lemkin Institute is named after the Jew who coined the word "genocide".

Im currently listening to James o Brien. There's a Jewish woman on from Manchester who protest every Friday with dozens of other Jews. Theve decided to carry on with their protest tonight. Although it will be a silent one. As she said they have to carry on.

Right, so not on the day of the attack then.

If you read what I actually posted, I’m not against protests or what there about, it’s the timing and when they are doing it. You’ve just had a major incident where the police are stretched and an entire community is grieving. How can that be a good time to hold a protest?

After the Manchester arena bombing, do you think a protest the night of the attack would be a good thing to do?

It would be completely wrong, ignorant and blind to what’s just happened

People who spend their time defending the freaks and scum who were on that demonstration last night in Manchester - there’s something deeply wrong with them.

In the spirit of your previous post, I’m wondering what category to place you.
Genocide supporter
Child slaughter fanboy
Wilfully ignorant and emotionally crippled

Murdering innocent people on British soil isn't on mate.
The tw@ got his just deserts.
Maybe he's just a random or maybe part of a bigger group.
One thing is certain though, he will have allied himself to the hamas/palestine cause.

Is starving children to death on Palestinian soil on?

I ally myself to the Palestinian cause, as in I don't support a genocide or the murder of an innocent population. I also think Hamas, and what they did October 7th, was abhorrent and evil. Both can be true.
 
US President Donald Trump says he is setting a Sunday evening deadline for Hamas to agree to his plan to end the war in Gaza, — Trump had warned Hamas that if they reject his proposed Gaza peace deal, Israel would have full U.S. backing to "finish the job."

How about the Home Secretary asking Israel to step back for a few days ?

Absolutley, I agree.

Anything to de escalate the problem would be welcome, that doesnt stop people being accountable for themselves though. Some if the scenes at the protests last night do the Palastine support more harm than good.

This is a problem with modern culture or opinons expressed online, it seems it's either the this or that category, one extreme or the other with no in between.
 
I am tired of hearing that the event took place on the holiest day of the Jewish year Yom Kippor as though this made it more reprehensible. Does anyone seriously believe that the perpetrator actually considers such matters. I note our political masters were not outraged when Israel continued and killed 42 civilians in Gaza on Eid, the holiest day in the Islamic calendar

Our political masters can’t even raise a fuck let alone any outrage towards Palestine.

It is not possible to negotiate peacefully with hamas.

Yitzak Rabin managed to until he was murdered by an Israeli far right nationalist.

Incidentally, Yigal Amir is so popular with Likud that the parliament had to pass a law stopping them from pardoning him, the assassin of a Prime Minister.

Agreed. It’s about giving a community some breathing space after the shock of an attack in which lives were lost. I don’t think this is a difficult concept.
