Perhaps the Jewish community could be as vocal in condemning the atrocities carried out by Israel as they are these? That might go some way to helping put pressure on an end to the war?

Free Palestine is not the same as supporting Hamas just as expressing solidarity with Jews right now is not the same as supporting Israel.

Let me address a few things here , using the word genocide in regard to the IDF entering Gaza or strategically bombing Gaza isn't genocide even with the many civilian casualties that have occurred , it's civilians losing their life because a conflict is taking place where they reside or they are unfortunately in the wrong place at the wrong time and given Gaza is full of tunnels in residential areas or Hamas bases are placed in hospitals makes it all the more likely that there will be substantial loss of civilian life .

This is the war the IDF have to fight because it's street warfare , I'd like you to tell me what other way the IDF could fight this conflict that would appease you ?


The Israelis haven't actually in the true sense of the word invaded anyone , they've crossed borders to fight enemies and responded when they've been attacked and crossed borders , ithey've added land to Israel such as the Golan Heights because strategically it's important they retain that land in order to better defend themselves against further attacks and what happens too is that the victor claims the spoils in warfare , that most definitely isn't unique to Israel by any means .

How can you possibly say Palestine Action aren't supporting Hamas ? , for starters Hamas are the elected government voted in by the Palestinians and have complete control of the area and secondly who do you think it is that's fighting the Israelis and were responsible for the October 7th attack on Israel ? , what do you think is going to happen to Israel and it's people should Hamas be successful ?

Annihilation and mass murder of the jews will take place and so yes Palestine Action are supporting terrorism along with anybody else who takes to the streets on a Saturday waving a Palestinian flag and shouting " From The River To The Sea " .

There isn't any grey area on this one .

It's unlikely many Jews will condone what's going on in Gaza because the country is battling for it's very existence and defeat will result in the slaughter of it's people and it's unlikely any tears will be shed after the barbarism of October 7th 2023 that took place in Israel .
