www.theguardian.comYou're the one stanning for the Hamas terrorists who wish to destroy Israel, not me. I'm not about to take any lectures from a Jew hater.
What does this say about the human animals of Hamas and their supporters?
Israel has a PR system: his party emerged as the largest in the Knesset and was able to form a coalition.
Don't you mean those *checks notes* terrorist music festival goers?
Have you contacted a local cat charity? Alternatively, maybe someone on here might be interested, though you'd need to state which country/region you're in.
Your government is selling arms to a democratically elected government engaged in a war with a *terrorist organisation*.
One seem to matter far more than others though. In fact, those others seem to be ignored entirely.
I'm not laying the blame for this on “Jews” – YOU ARE. The blame lies squarely on *Hamas* and *every single Gazan who supports them*,

It's not our problem though. Where are the demos for the hundreds of thousands starving in Sudan bc of their civil war? Where were the demos for Tigray? Or the DR of Congo? Or South Sudan?
Previous Western interference in the Middle East has been disastrous and neither Israel nor the Palestinians give a sh*t what the UK thinks. Keep your nose out and let them sort out their own problems.
The Expulsion of the Jews from Muslim Countries, 1920-1970: A History of Ongoing Cruelty and Discrimination
Between 1920 and 1970, 900,000 Jews were expelled from Arab and other Muslim countries. The 1940s were a turning point in this tragedy; of those expelled, 600,000 settled in the new state of Israel, a...

A few deranged souls still do think he should be brought back, hard though it may be to believe.
That was possible in an age without the Internet, but isn't in one in which everyone carries around a device that can shoot videos and upload them for all the world to see.
If Israel had wanted to kill every Gazan, it would have carpetbombed Gaza day and night and the vast majority of them would already be dead.
1] You're accepting Hamas' figures as gospel.
2] How do you know how many are civilians? Hamas never reveals how many of its terrorists have been killed.
3] Hamas could come out into the open and fight, rather than sheltering behind civilians.
4] Hamas could surrender and end the war now.
There is no genocide, just a war. After nearly seven months of fighting, Palestinian losses are around 35K out of a population of over 2 million. At that rate, the war would have to last for over 30 years to kill every Gazan.

Hamas was certainly in charge of infrastructure. How else could it have built mile upon mile of tunnels under hospitals, mosques and schools with foreign aid money?
Hamas governed *the whole of the Gaza Strip* until they started the current war on Israel on 7 October 2023. Now, they only govern parts because they've been displaced/destroyed in the others.
