O/T:- ⚠️Impressed with the leadership [The UK Party Politics Thread]

[Med Pie]

Along with many others I'm not comfortable with Israel's actions though as you're not there you really cannot be so confident that the excuses are flimsy as you don't know how many Hamas are hiding behind the skirts of those clamouring for food. They only seem to come out in the open complete with weaponry when the media are there on the occasions hostages are released.

Palestine is the land of the Arab Palestinian people, from it they originate, to it they adhere and belong, and about it they reach out and communicate.

So the Jews and the Christians who predate Islam have no rights to live in that area?

On the whole the Jews, Christians and as far as I know Philistines lived in relative peace post Christ. It was only 600+ years later that trouble arrived.

What influences your stance on this unholy mess?

Aside from who is entitled on a historic basis going back a thousand years, to live on this land, Israel have noiw killed almost 60,000 people in Gaza. Crimes against humanity are being perpetrated every day, people being mown down whilst waiting for food who were perceived as a 'threat' by Israeli troops. I don't think 'warning' shots have ever been so deadly as they are in the hands of the IDF.

I've said, so many times, that HAMAS played right in to Israeli hands with their attack 7/10 and now, there is absolutely, no chance that Israel will not occupy this land, permanently.

Settlers are murdering Palestinians with impunity and plots of land have been on sale in Gaza for a long time in anticipation that Israel will occupy this land. Isn't it ironic that a country who suffered such crimes in the past, are ready to perpetrate the same on people today. Palestinians are being corralled in to a tiny area in preparation for their fairly certain expulsion, another mirror on Jewish history.

I'm sickened that the Yanks continue to supply arms to Israel who are aggressive bullies, attacking their neighbours at will, war mongers, side from Gaza, they've attacked Lebanon, Iraq and Iran, the Middle East will never see peace.

On a separate note, did you know that Israelis have a very bad 'rep' abroad, I've personally seen signs which say 'no Israelis' because they have such a bad reputation for causing trouble when they travel. Even where I now live, they are hated in the communities where they turn up, they never assimilate and have a poor reputation all round for their behaviour. We have one who lives near us, he's a multi millionaire with a driveway behind serious security gates which holds various 'supercars' and his sons are notorious for ripping through out tiny village doing 'doughnuts' and wheel spins'. My experience with them (and I've visited and worked in Israel) is that they are a very, arrogant people.

I subscribe to the opinion that anti Israeli is not anti-semite so please note that I use the term Israel / i not Jew.
