It is so extremely disappointing to see people who never talked about the slaughter of the children,fathers,mothers and entire families in palestine

What’s happening in Gaza is a war crime and the entire civilized world should be condemned for allowing it continue to for so long. The Israeli response has been and continues to be overwhelmingly disproportionate .
The faces of the limbless and starving children rips my heart out every time I see them , how can so called good people support this kind cruelty and hatred.

It’s a sign of our decline that we are so outraged by a single act of senseless violence while we completely disregard the needless death and suffering of thousands of children.

I can’t deal with some of the people in my life who don’t have any empathy or compassion for the victims but support the perpetrators without question in spite of what they can see with their own eyes..
I haven’t cut anyone off from my life but I’ve decided that I don’t need to be close to them if it means betraying my own convictions and my own compassion

My position is that I would feel revulsion at the public assassination of anyone, the exceptions being those who have committed horrific crimes. That's the position that I have made clear on here. I couldn't think much less of Donald Trump and yet I wouldn't have wanted to see his brains blown out if that assassination attempt had been successful. I am acutely aware that even those we cannot tolerate the opinions and ideas of still have families that love them.

I felt revulsion at the October 7th attack on Israel and I feel the same for Palestinians being decimated every single day. Anyone who would celebrate either of those events, or deny the tragedy of either, has lost their humanity. I wonder too why the huge amount of support for Palestinians did not extend to Syria and Yemen when they were being slaughtered and continue to be. There were protests but nothing like the level that we have seen for Palestine. For as much as the far right element in the nationalist protests in the UK is undeniable, the antisemitic element in the pro Palestine priests is also undeniable. I'm very sure that hate will not defeat hate.

I wish that we could all learn to meet bad behaviour with good behaviour instead of worse behaviour. That would be my ideal world. I don't expect anyone to mourn any particular individual, but those who derive joy from the death of people who they don't like, or whose rhetoric they don't like, are part of the problem in my opinion.

I have been morning the loss of all the Palestinians for as long as I have been aware of the conflict there. However if you are referring to Charlie Kirk he was changing is Zionist views and beginning to morn the loss of Palestinians. In fact there are many theories out there that Kirk was actually killed by Israel. I have zero proof of who killed and I am just repeating what I have heard others say. Some of those others are serious commentators not given to conspiracy theories. I simply don't know. Any death is one death too many.

I think the folly of humankind is the inability or lack of desire to see things simply as they are. There's no correct side in most horrific acts, just failures of morality, indicators and reminders of systemic and omnipresent problems, cruelty, ignorance and apathy. If you rejoice in the death of another, you become what you judge.

There's a saying "once you know of the way, you see the way in all things" and once you see the patterns again and again you realise the wise thing is to not involve yourself in the mob and try to positively effect the world in small ways one act and person at a time, to live a life of value that you can find peace and pride in.

That's my two cents anyway

I couldn’t believe that Netanyahu returned to the political leadership of Israel. From the lack of civil protection for the festival attendees on October 7 to his unrestrained response. He has absolutely no reason to stop since the normal sequence of events for him is to stand trial for past offenses. It sorrows me deeply to witness the intentional starvation of Palestinian children and the total destruction of Palestine .

Well said

I don’t justify what happened to him but I have zero empathy towards someone who justified the most well-documented genocide in human history.

And ironically enough, his last word was “violence”…

I lost interest in the people of Palestine when I saw the news footage of them dancing in the streets and celebrating the 9/11 attacks.

When the segment of news covering events in the Middle East I just change the channel or find something else to do.

I stand by every word, I have 0 empathy for the death of a man who justified the death of so many by saying Palestine “doesn’t exist”
