Mostly killed by supporters of Hamas i.e. Hezbollah, Turkey, Russia, the Assad regime and also the Syrian opposition.

I wonder how many deaths the British/Americans are responsible for post 9/11. Going into Iraq and Afghanistan. Tens of millions displaced and then we just left them to it once we pulled out. All these terriost groups.had a free run once we'd had enough.

And Muslims have suffered millions of deaths and injuries at the hands of so called 'decent nations' in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Palestine and so on.

And at the hands of their fellow Muslims.

I’d say there is something seriously wrong with right wing settler activist Arieh King.

It just demonstrates that there are highly unpleasant extremists on both sides, and sometimes unpleasant people can get into positions of authority. Who knew?

If we’re agreeing that Hamas don’t represent the majority of the Palestinian people I think it’s fair to also agree that a settler activist doesn’t represent the majority of Israelis.

Is it right to bomb Jerusalem to bits to arrest him?

The silence is deafening from western governments.

France and Switzerland on the Security Council voted for a ceasefire, with plenty of support from Western governments (and Eastern).
