I get a lot of hate, for talking about Palestine

And if anyone thinks for a second that it will stop me, they don't know me at all..

I wouldn't speak up about something without being 100% sure that I can stand for it. Anytime I see something new, I always double-tripple check the information, before I share anything - to make sure I don't share fake news.

I don't think anything has gotten me into more heated "arguments" than this - because there's not a single strain in me that will ever understand how anyone can support idf, or even question if what's happening in gaza is a genocide.

The second we're talking about starving children, attacking children, women, elderly, men, cutting off power so that babies needing oxygen to survive - dies, directly aiming at a child and firing, raping and torturing hostages kidnapped by the idf under "they're arrested - without the right of a trial, lawyer or to know why we arrested them, just trust us", that's it for me. If you can hear, see, read about it and still find a "reason" to excuse why it's happening - you're simply a bad freaking human being, and the reason that humanity is failing.

And if you think that this has to do with religion - you're also part of the damn problem, get help.

We're all humans, we're born in different places - that don't mean that anyone is worth less, deserves less than anyone else born on this planet.

Aight, I'm done venting.. I've tried to not vent here, cause all I do everywhere else almost is talk about it, but..

With groups of Palestine supporters being labelled as "terrorists" now, I'm going to have to be much more careful about how I express myself on this score.

I do have to admit that the action feels more "knee-jerk" rather than rational and well thought out though.

I accept and agree that they shouldn't be breaking into air bases and damaging military aircraft - but, I still feel like that action could have been dealt with much more appropriately using alternative means that are already at the disposal of the legal system... without labelling the group a terrorist organisation. As it is, nothing stops them regathering under a different name... like Nigel Farage has done virtually every year since 2016.

They're still going to have to make examples of the people who damaged the aircraft engines via the legal system either way so other groups of a similar thought process don't think that it's a good way to get their message across.

@HootyTheNightOwl Yes, speak with caution. Be very careful what you write too. Free speech has gone in the UK as has legitimate protest.

@HootyTheNightOwl They could have been dealt with like the 'Just Stop Oil" group who caused many £££ worth of damage and disruption of daily lives, causing some to miss cancer treatment. They seem just as much terrorist but were never labled as such as they were 'environmentalists'.

@MrAverage1965 Yes, they should have been handled more firmly.
