Middle East Conflict

There is a big difference between supporting innocent Palestinian people and supporting Hamas

Tell the pro-Palestinian protesters who were out in Manchester supporting “Palestinian resistance” while the Hamas slaughter was still under way on 8 October.

That pissed me off too. Like I mentioned earlier, I've seen people supporting Hamas who wouldn't last a second if they met them face to face. Gay people, transgender people, it makes no sense.
I was referring to people who actually support innocent Palestinian people being tarred with the Pro Hamas brush

Oh I definitely agree on that. There was a video of a transgender woman protesting and supporting Hamas, would love to see her go over there and proclaim her support to their faces. See how that ends up

It does seem incredibly weird. All religions are right wing, that is what they are, ultra conservative. But at the risk of being called racist, the most far right religion by far is Islam. That the left have 'jumped into bed' with a far right organisation just beggars belief.

If they’d called off the 8 October protest when it was clear that hundreds of Israelis were still being murdered and had it a week later instead once the Gaza bombing was under way I might have had some respect for them. But as it is, those that were there on 8 October have shown their true colours, and I’ve seen no criticism of them from supposed moderate supporters of the Palestinian people.

This mess is not an easy task for any world leader. Israel is, by necessity I think, right wing. Hamas are to the right of Hitler and the Ku Klux Klan put together. Why the left support them I will never know (unless it's because they are the poor (financially) relation in this).

And the current Israeli Government? There people in cabinet positions who would not be allowed to stand in elections in most countries

People like you don't seem to realise that the murder and mistreatment of Palestinians by settlers and the IDF on the West Bank is almost a daily occurance, now tell me if your country was occupied and you suffered daily indignities and your life was in danger every time you went out, how would you react?

They are an oppressed people like it or not and Israel is the oppressor, surely you can agree that this issue needs sorting out first and foremost

They deliver a block vote, is generally the reason.

Sorry to post a video of Morgan, but I think this is fantastic, funny and tragic interview (because of the guest, not Morgan)

The "far right" doesn't and hasn't had a monopoly on acting like cunts.

Political and religious extremists are invariably utter fruitcakes.

Surely you can support the assumption that Palestinians deserve either equal rights and benefits as the rest of the Israeli population or a state of their own, if you don't agree what do you do about the problem, mass transfer of population? Carry on oppressing them ?

And surely you can see that part of the problem is the treatment of the Palestinians, it's quite obvious to me, perhaps I am missing something
