Middle East Conflict

He said the uk would provide TEN MILLION POUNDS IN AID TO PALESTINIANS. Derisory and about as much as one of Mrs Sunaks tax residency dodges

How much should we have donated? £20m? £50m? £100m? £1billion? Ten?

You want to turn your nose up at £10m in civilian aid then fine.

When every other country chips in then it will amount to a goodly amount.

The only foreseeable problem is making sure Hamas don't get their hands on any of it and it goes to the civilians.

You do realize that what is going on in Gaza now will create hatred on a huge scale against Israel and will result in the deaths of thousands Jews. Does Netanyahu care?

No he doesn't.
It could be argued that the intransigence of the Israeli government in refusing to settle this problem by giving the Palestinians a state of their own that they find acceptable is responsible for every Jewish death that occurs in this long running dispute.

Whatever the amount was, someone would take issue.

Sure it could be argued but it would be wrong. Hamas don’t want a two state solution, they literally state their reason to be is the total eradication of the Jewish state.

He wasn't obliged to give anything to be fair, but yes a nice gesture from the UK taxpayer.

It would be nice for him to say stop the siege and let the aid in. You can donate all you fuckin want but if it can't get in what's the point?

I gave one last week and it was pooh-pooh'd by the Israeliphobes. We could always go down the Hamas route; rape and kill every single Israeli civilian, bomb every Israeli military institution, burn every synagogue to cinders, push the Israelis out of the region and rename the whole territory Palestine. Because thats what they mean.

I'd like to hear more from those who hate Israel to give their solutions about how Israel should respond.

By using precision munitions on verified Hamas targets and in accordance with international law. I served in Northern Ireland and hated PIRA but clearly understood that attacks on the security forces there or attacks in mainland Britain would not result in the indescriminate bombing of the Creggan or Ballymurphy.

Well we've given about £400m of humanitarian aid to Ukraine not including the £3Bn military aid.

Our total foreign aid budget is £7Bn, of which Palestinians get £30m p/a.

So giving £10m to Gaza does seem insultingly little. We'll make a lot more than that selling arms to Israel this year.

The IDF have already come out and stated that Damage over Accuracy is their policy.
