All I hear regarding these tragedies from their quarter is crickets. Also it’s HAMAS that kills, maims and staves people, not Israel. And also I just to point out, the poor victims of Oct 7th (Israeli men, women, children, babies, the elderly including holocaust survivors, plus the poor migrant workers from across the world) weren't given the warnings that Israel provides Gazans (yeah funny that, people that want to commit genocide do not give civilians an advance warning that they’re coming so move to safety, making this baseless and politically motivated accusation even more insulting to actual victims of genocide).

[@janew6574]

@@cuteladybug8622 I ask: where's your outrage, if you're going to try to avoid feeling the NECESSARY abhorrence for the Genocide in Gaza? How do you know about which other campaigns anyone has supported? Would anyone reading know how old anyone is, who's commenting? A commenter may have only just become old enough to campaign? Have citizens of Yemen been able to tell the world what's being committed, in any way similar to what Gazan people have been determined to do, to the point of charging phones from disused car batteries? Has the UK been directly funding the killing of children in Yemen? (Maybe it has? I'm writing from Australia). Has the UK government been actively voting against ending atrocities in Yemen? It's been actively dehumanising and voting against ceasing harm against Palestinians. Last century's British colonisation of Palestine is also the root cause of the spread of zionism into Palestine, with all of the associated violence, that is continuing until the utter catastrophe now being committed. All of those factors give British citizens the ethical responsibility to insist that their government does the right thing, regarding active support for genuine PEACE PROCESSES in Palestine/Israel. Gaza and West Bank are the locations of the founding holy sites of three major religions. Whether religious, or not, the names of places, such as Bethlehem, are part of many peoples' cultural history. The three Wise Men, who brought gifts for Baby Jesus, would have brought their frankincense at the Gaza markets, around 2,000 years ago. (Thanks to Sammy Obeid You Tube channel, for that information). Thus, the atrocities have an added element of being in places that are well known, to many cultures, around the world. Is "whataboutism" brought about by a rightful sense of guilt, or unease? If so, I personally think that's good news, because it's a sign of peoples' consciences showing them the direction that they really feel that they ought to take, themselves.

​@@skrtdaily5533 Makes sense this kid comes to the UK. Happy for him. But what about the gulf countries. Shouldn't they be taking in more? They can shelter all the people in Gaza by splitting the total between themselves

[@skrtdaily5533]

@@keifer7813 Absolutely they should be doing more, but the neighbouring states already house many of the displaced Palestinians from the first and second nakba, it shouldn't be their responsibility soley. Similarly to how it shouldn't have been the sole responsibility of the Palestinians to house the Jewish refugees after WW2, Europe and America should have stepped in to lend a hand/give up land to house them. Not that either group should even have to flee their own country in the first place, but that's a different matter.

[@keifer7813]

@@skrtdaily5533 Yeah I don't mean the neighbouring states like Jordan or Egypt. I appreciate that they aren't as wealthy as the gulf. I'm referring to Saudi, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain. These countries constantly take in migrants from South Asia so it shouldn't be too much for them to split the Palestinians between themselves since they're so wealthy. I mean Qatar hosts the Hamas leaders but not the Palestinian citizens...weird And I fully agree with you that the Jews shouldn't have all been moved to Palestine (or whatever it was called back then). If Britain felt bad for them, they should have took them all in instead of what they did to cause this mess. America could have done more too, apparently they only took in 21,000 or so 😕

@@DG-ie5ip I am sad for anybody who is innocent and comes to harm but let's be real Netanyahu does not give a damn about them otherwise they would be free now. He was warned about the Hamas attacks but deliberately ignored warnings so he had a reason to destroy Gaza for good. So blame him and yourselves for pressing Palestinian people for centuries for this to happen. And lastly - how many innocent people including thousands of children had to die already to revenge your hostages? And what about the 9000 Palestinians you hold in your jails being tortured without conviction? The problem is you think Israeli lives are worth a thousand Palestinian lives each - I don't, because each life is precious. But you guys come up with the same excuse to justify your genocide while land in Gaza is already bought up by American Zionists. So do not ask the people to have compassion for the hostages any longer because you have none for others!!!
