WelcomeHaven’t commented on here before but I have been reading on and off when I can.
Thank you to so many of you for your far more educated comments and explanations on the history of this.
I have spent time finding out more of how all of this has built up over the last 7 decades to reach this point. My eyes have been opened and I have felt so dumb for listening to the media but now I know better than to blindly trust!
Absolutely horrified by the pictures and videos I see from journalists in Gaza on instagram. There are images that will stay with me forever and I feel so helpless when I see the destruction of homes, entire families, neighbourhoods and the creation of a generation of orphans.
Israel comes across as a spoilt child who has been given all the toys they want, but now they want more and don’t care who they bully and destroy to get it. They are committing numerous war crimes with the world just watching on. It’s all just so fucking horrific.
I know we all (well a vast majority of us) want a ceasefire and for the UK government to demand one (and your own governments if you are not UK) but if the UK demanded one, then what would happen if Israel ignored that? Would there be repercussions if they ignored calls for a ceasefire from western governments?
It doesn't help when people wanting a ceasefire get jumped on or sacked.I'm still shellshocked about what has happened the last number of weeks. I am grateful for the ceasefire but it is also hard to be overly relieved considering what has occurred and for how long.
I just feel like the west really needs to break the hold the US has over it. The EU needs to start discreetly severing ties... if they didn't have such a hold I think this ceasefire would have happened weeks ago.
he would have been wearing those squeezy sauces I’d have been squeezing them two at a time ooo look I’m a terrorist squirt squirt straight over his racist face, laugh at that you piece ofThe hate in his heart is terrifying. As is the fact he was apparently a National security advisor.
Do we know why Israel and Palestine didn't agree to the previous two state boundaries. Was it over Bethlehem, Jerusalem or did one/both parties not want the other there.
Weeping
The lack of attention given to Palestinan hostages held by Israel is... something.
Even from the pro Palestine crowd, I haven't heard anything. Was it common knowledge that Israel was holding Palestinians hostage?
I assumed so because that's how wars go, but never saw anything about it.
Apparently there are 150 women and children.
Just highlights how skewed the coverage has been. Even the ceasefire support from people who want to see no more Palestinian lives lost didn't seem to consider that hostages on that side may also need releasing.
It's mostly been calling for a ceasefire to minimise the loss of Palestinan lives and to release Israeli hostage (as well as protect them from harm/death).
It is terrifying that these people walk amongst us.bloody hell, this POS carries on the abuse and threats even after that disgusting initial threat!! This freak came back the next day and brought some shitty israel props with him to make some more abusive and nasty comments! These people are some real inhumane fucktards!
he's deranged!! At one time this prick used advise Obama on Palestinian policy! Can you imagine what he was doing behind closed doors to the palestinians??
You may not have heard the term “hostages” but you will have heard the term “detainees”. Israel, for years, has taken Palestinians, including thousands of women and children for no real reason but for as little as throwing stones and put them in, what they call, “administrative detention”, this means they can hold them, without charge, indefinitely. There are currently over 7000 Palestinians kept in this state of limbo. Those that are charged are put in front of a military court (a different system from Isreali citizens, so apartheid right there) who have a 97% conviction rate. There are children who have been convicted of throwing stones who get up to 20 years in prison. So the reality is that other than the 2.3m hostages kept in the gazan borders, there are thousands of Palestinians held without charge, so essentially hostages. Quite often these people are family members of a Palestinian fighter, they are routinely taken with the message that the fighter, or person they want, must hand themselves in if they want their family members releasing.The lack of attention given to Palestinan hostages held by Israel is... something.

Who has any faith that the Israeli's will keep to this deal? I pray I am wrong. They haven't kept their wors so far.Ok so a small breakthrough
Yeah I’m really worried about this. I think the Isrealis will do some sneaky shit and then frame it that Hamas broke the ceasefire so all bets are off and they’ll go on 10 times harder.Who has any faith that the Israeli's will keep to this deal? I pray I am wrong. They haven't kept their wors so far.
