Turn the news off, turn the Internet off and get outside matey. Sobriety is on you Blue. All the shit going on at the minute is doing absolutely no good for mental health everywhere, time to block it out and realise what fantastic things are in your immediate surroundings. You'll be surprised what you find. Inbox always open mate, put the glass down and look for a better perspective

Yep, Covid, Russia/Ukraine, Now Israel/Palestine… let’s face it. There’s alway going to be something.

Take a brief interest, donate to causes but ultimately switch off the news look after yourself and loved ones and be a nice person.

I think you need to research why Hamas put their tunnels.
They put them near hospitals for a reason

Is it because of all the Xanax?

You really need to ask why Muslims are more likely to be supporters of Palestine than Israel?
In case you’re not being deliberately obtuse, Muslims are unsurprisingly more likely to feel an affinity with people of the same religion, and around 99% of Gazan Palestinians are Muslim.

It might be because people that share their religion are systematically abused and murdered by Israelis, and can therefore empathise with them, they may even feel that bar an accident of postcode they themselves may be abused or murdered, systematically.

Or it might be because they all have being Muslim in common.

Millions upon millions that the world gave to the development of Gaza
And everything went to building tunnels that would lead to terrorism in Israeli settlements
- What a waste, what a mistake

Why do they want to kill Israelis? Could it have anything to do with decades of oppression?

Maybe stop abusing them before you demand they moderate their aims.

Palestinians were killing Jews before there was even a state of Israel in the 1920s and 30s, just for having the audacity to emigrate there. Also when they invaded Israel multiple times over the following decades at first without provocation from Israel first.

So it’s a bit disingenuous to say that they’re only killing them because of Israel’s actions over the last number of decades because they’ve been killing them for a century before any of these horrific actions were even thought of.

And that is the root cause of this entire problem there… there are always going to be many who simply do not want Jews there, full stop. They have and always will kill them no matter what. Even if Israel opens up to Palestinians and holds their regions as fair-shared land with the same rights for everyone, there will always be Jews killed for being Jews in that region.

That is the problem, number one, that needs sorting out before anything else.

Although, it must be said, that the Israeli ultra-Nationalism is now also a big problem that will also need sorting out.

Billions and billions that went to the aid of Israel over the decades has gone to the Israeli illegal settlements and (so called) defence that’s led to tens of thousands of civilian deaths.

I hope that everyone sees and understands the difference between money that goes to defense and living settlements and money that goes to death tunnels! Everyone closes their eyes that instead of moving forward and building hospitals and businesses and workplaces with the big money of the Arab world, everything goes to terrorism! Gaza closed its eyes and it's time for the world to intervene
, why is the goal of a people only terrorism?
Don't you see the difference between
the parties? I understand years of images and brainwashing by the BBC but everyone knows the truth

You're making the assumption that Israel will be strong and America still world police before the end of that 50 years.

No one saw the Arab Spring coming. That was only 12 years ago.

US not supporting Isreal?
The only chance of that would be if the world was a radioactive cinder.

If Israel was weak why would they back a loser?
