Hamas strike on Israel

I'm sure there's still plenty of Gazans who support HAMAS but it was 50/50 at best when they were elected and I'd imagine it's a lot lower now.

Yes it was false. The bbc have clarified where the figure came from and how it was reported was misleading in the extreme

The BBC later asked for clarification on the figure from the UN's Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA), which said: "We are pointing to the imperative of getting supplies in to save an estimated 14,000 babies suffering from severe acute malnutrition in Gaza, as the IPC partnership has warned about. We need to get the supplies in as soon as possible, ideally within the next 48 hours."

It highlighted a report from the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) which stated 14,100 severe cases of acute malnutrition are expected to occur among children aged six to 59 months between April 2025 and March 2026.

The IPC report says this could take place over the course of about a year - not 48 hours.

Idiots with guns shooting people they don't even know.

As long as I've lived and as long as there have been Jews they've been persecuted. There's only 15M Jews on the planet for a reason.

Whether it was Egyptians, Romans, Christians, Nazi's or Muslims and I'm sure many others. Thankfully Christians have matured and we don't feel the need to control our holiest sites because if the Christian world wanted to they could take over that region.

As we know Islam was created from Christianity and they asserted their dominance by taking over Jewish lands and building on their holiest sites. Unfortunately today neither religious group have matured and both want control over the same area. As long as Jews and Muslims stay loyal to their books instead of loyal to humanity there will be blood spilled in this region.

Both sides need to look towards moderate Christians and move on with their lives for the sake of humanity.

That 48hr figure was circulated all over social media. Sounded ridiculous to me but it sounded so extreme you were afraid to challenge it.

Takes over through an election hopefully. I've a feeling the HAMAS approach wouldn't do the best in an election.

or be a child

And, moreover, do you think that a continuation of this rhetoric is likely to fuel more such attacks going forward?

Just once you could take moral responsibility for your narrow minded intolerance; here's a quote from Daniella Weiss (there's a few more choice one's)

"In Israel, there's a lot of support for settlements, and this is why there have been right-wing governments for so many years."

One of the arguments in support of Israeli actions is that the Palestinian People elected Hamas, albeit 20 years ago, therefore the people are responsible for the actions of Hamas.

Yet, it's been proposed on here and elsewhere that we cannot/should not hold all Israeli's responsible in the same manner for the actions of Netanyahu and his government.

And, to use your own snide language, 'I'm just drawing your attention to it for the record' that there has been continued popular support for the rhetoric and actions against the Palestinians for generations.

In relation to Gaza, her opinions are clear and have been supported:

"No Arab, I'm speaking about more than two million Arabs. They will not stay there... We Jews will be in Gaza."

What is Israeli response to her and her 40 odd years of antics?……In March this year they nominated her for a Nobel Peace Prize. The reason given;

"Her decades long efforts in strengthening Jewish communities and promoting regional stability".

I'm guessing your moral compass was broken a long time ago.

Jews. I wasn't trying to be cryptic.
