As for the ‘slow genicide of the Palestinian people’ in the OP. I find it incredibly grim that after the most horrific, awful atrocities committed by Hamas, and given the ongoing calls for genicide against Jews in cities across the west it’s only Israel’s crimes that merit that tag in the OP.
I won’t be contributing anymore to the thread so apologies in advance to anyone engaging with my post, but don’t feel like you need to.

Aye, might have been me who framed that "rich Jews" cliche although I am fairly sure that it could be objectively proven that Jewish people are very successful at generating wealth.afgavinstan wrote:The only trope I can see is mention of "rich Jews" being a factor in all this on page one, for a few posts. I too thought it was maybe putting us on a slippery slope but didn't post at the time. Just my observation.

Our govt's unabashed support for a genocidal anti-muslim regime will undoubtedly be a catalyst for further terrorist atrocities on UK soil too.GurtTractor wrote:I think a spate of serious terror attacks are virtually guaranteed.
They're overdoing it to the extent that the term is going to be devalued and people stop paying attention to it. Then they're really in trouble.handsofblue wrote:I'm thoroughly sick and tired of a humanitarian stance being painted as antisemitic.

- BBCA source familiar with the progress of the Hamas hostage release talks being brokered by Qatar told me earlier that negotiations to get more people freed from Gaza had entered a "serious stage".
They said "intense and focused" talks through a Qatari mediator and involving the US were ongoing, to build on Friday's release of two US citizens.
Hamas was said to have given a "positive response" regarding the release of about 50 foreign and dual-nationality civilian hostages in exchange for a ceasefire and the entry of more aid into Gaza.
The source said Israel's rejection of any ceasefire was holding up any breakthrough.
Responding to reports that Hamas might trade foreign hostages in return for a ceasefire, a senior official in the Israeli government responded: “A ceasefire is ridiculous! It's like asking the US for a ceasefire after 9/11 - and this is 20 times worse."
In its latest count, Israel estimated that 222 people are being held by Hamas in Gaza.
“I caution this: while you feel that rage, don’t be consumed by it,” Biden said. In an apparent reference to the US’s prosecution of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, he added: “After 9/11, we were enraged in the United States. When we sought justice and got justice, we also made mistakes.”
Israel risked “losing credibility worldwide” if it did not “relieve the suffering of people who have nowhere to go”, Biden said, describing “very blunt” conversations with officials in Tel Aviv during his visit.

Also, evidence that our government has re the hospital bombing being due to rocket fired from Gaza? Er, no. They haven’t.
