UK Foreign Secretary calls for Ceasefire, citing ‘too many civilians killed’.

No fucking shit, Sherlock! Pity you’re so late to the party, you sack of shite

To be fair he hasn't been in the job for long, let's give him a little bit of leeway.

True but he’s still light years in front of Starmer.

Weird but true mate, funnily enough there would be some of the rampant socialists that would vote for Cameron before Sir Kier.

I find Starmer’s stance pretty insidious as it amounts to fcuk the hostages. A ceasefire is needed to free as many of the hostages that can be saved, as well as getting humanitarian aid into Gaza.

The current definition of anti-Semitism, as per a quick Google search, is this:

"Hostility to or prejudice against Jewish people."

Now admittedly, I haven't scoured the entire thread so feel free to enlighten, but has anybody on this forum showed hostility or prejudice towards the Jewish people? And as a heads up, vilifying the IDF, Netanyahu and by extension the Israeli state for their current crimes against humanity is not anti-Semitism. In the same way I'm not an Islamophobe for vilifying the theocratic practices of the Iranian state towards women.

So, anyone? Just one example?

Only exception has been for the thieving settlers and the murdering ones. As I've said numerous times there's been several posters who have gone after Palestinian people, Not only Hamas but actually the ones with no life in the world's biggest open air prison.

A terrible mistake I fear for the rest of the hostages if the IDF shoot people that had SOS on the building

This thread has become a graveyard for the truth and is now openly just propaganda.

One or two posters have regularly said that the Jewish people do not have a right to their own country and should move to other countries. You might not think that’s antisemitic but most Jews do.

Criticism of Netanyahu and his government is perfectly legitimate and you won’t find any argument from me if that’s what you want to do as I’ve done it myself on numerous occasions.

I haven't seen such posts, but that could be construed as anti-Semitism, yes. The definition itself is prone to the vagaries of context; they should have the right to their own homeland but then so should the Palestinians, given the historical legacy of the land? And both parties in this perpetual conflict should refrain from being the aggressor. As I've said on numerous occasions, a peaceful recognition of a joint-state is the only way out of this mess; and until such resolution arrives neither side can wield pejorative constructs as justification for their actions.
