I think it does matter because you sometimes get the impression that some on the left criticise Hamas because they know they really should, but at the same time don’t really mean it. They are putting way more responsibility on recent deaths on Israel than the people who co-ordinated the attacks that caused an escalation. They are very lenient on Hamas hiding in public places using innocent Palestinian as human shields. If your point is assigning blame doesn’t move us forward then I agree with you. Hopefully things are being done to progress and limit deaths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can say Hamas were hiding amongst civilians or whatever, but Israel still dropped those bombs. You can argue Hamas started it, but when did it actually start? There is a lot of history in this conflict. Meanwhile hundreds are dying every day, thousands have no home, thousands do not have access to basic humanitarian needs...blame only gets you so far. It needs to end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willingly or otherwise. That was said last week. What is important I feel is if the wider region actually start ing to blaming Hamas for it and start accepting regardless of their feelings on Isreal that Hamas has to go. There can be no peace with Hamas still around. Think most governments in the area do, certainly Egypt as they kicked them out of Government when they were Muslim brotherhood. Think others do but at present can not really say anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously there are civilian casualties in this conflict but are they as high as said. Does it include those “500” people from the hospital car park which we now know to be false.

We've been through this.. numbers from Gazan health ministry which is ran by Hamas, but they have found to be accurate in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviewevie Posted November 7, 2023 Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 seems totally appropriate to march for peace on armistice day, but then again totally inappropriate if you're actually marching for the elimination of Israel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To “most people” that date is of marginal historical significance and doesn’t stop the present world in its tracks. Do you think the Israeli government is going to halt their ethnic cleansing for a couple of minutes? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It still matters a great deal here. But I should pay attention to you pontificating over things that are happening 2,000 miles away from you? Proximity doesn’t legitimise opinion, Barry. 11/11 doesn’t matter in any substantial way to the majority of the UK outside the establishment and the media.

Maybe it has, I’ve no idea. I find it hard to believe house prices won’t continue to drop due to mortgage rates and an increasingly bad economic outlook for the country. We will be buying next year either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviewevie Posted November 7, 2023 Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 personally not bothered if they protest on armistice day or remembrance day or christmas day, but its not good PR if they do...will not increase support for the Palastinian cause here in UK, and will just increase divisions etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
