🚨 1,300 years of Islamic Colonialism up until 1922 🚨 You are not fooling anyone. for over a thousand years JEWS living in Israel were under an apartheid regime, considered Dhimmis, second class citizens, under Muslim controlled foreign empires in Jerusalem. Muslim men have been imposing collective punishment on Jews, women, and minorities for a thousand years within their colonial borders. This is not a long time ago and America can't be blamed for this. You’ve weaponized the Palestinian cause narrative, which demands that Israel be destroyed in favor of the “ancient Palestinians,” but all educated Muslims know that’s obviously not true. The reality is that only a small percentage of the Palestinian population are indigenous peoples of the Levant; the vast majority are from various groups that have migrated to or through the region over centuries, including during the Ottoman period. All of the Islamic empires that governed the ancient city for 1,283 years were, in fact, foreigners. This highlights the diversity of the Palestinian population. •⁠ ⁠Umayyad Caliphate (661-750 CE): Originating from the Saudi Arabian people. •⁠ ⁠Abbasid Caliphate (750-969 CE): Originating from the Iraqi people. •⁠ ⁠Fatimid Caliphate (969-1099 CE): Originating from the Northern African people. •⁠ ⁠Ayyubid Dynasty (1187-1260 CE): Originating from the Kurdish people. •⁠ ⁠Mamluk Sultanate (1260-1517 CE): The origins of the Mamluks who were European slaves who freed themselves and built an empire •⁠ ⁠Ottoman Empire (1517-1917 CE): Originating from the Turkish people. Literally, the Palestinans are a huge mix of Kurdish, Iraqi and North African Empires, and even European and Caucasian descent, as well as Arabs from Saudi Arabia. Are Palestinians descendants of the Ottoman empire ? If that’s true, they are Turkish - not natives Surprising facts. Former European and Caucasian slaves are among the Palestinians. Known as the Mamluks Sultanate, they were forced into conversions and eventually overthrew their masters - not natives That’s why there are blond blue-eyed Palestinians! Palestinians are a huge mix, and that’s fine. They deserve there own state if they will allow Israel to have its own But the vast majority are not natives to the land like the Jews. Islam as a religion originates in Saudi Arabia so there’s nothing ancient religiously nor ethnically about them!!

Okay well how do you explain article 13 of the Hamas charter? I bet as you are more than likely woke you have not even read it so here it is . Article Thirteen: Peaceful Solutions, [Peace] Initiatives and International Conferences “[Peace] initiatives, the so-called peaceful solutions, and the international conferences to resolve the Palestinian problem, are all contrary to the beliefs of the Islamic Resistance Movement.Those conferences are no more than a means to appoint the nonbelievers as arbitrators in the lands of Islam. Since when did the Unbelievers do justice to the Believers? “And the Jews will not be pleased with thee, nor will the Christians, till thou follow their creed. Say: Lo! the guidance of Allah [himself] is the Guidance.” Clearly your Hamas mates are the ones not wanting a peaceful solution. What is your apologist excuse for this ?

[@cmciaranmasterson]

Zomlot is wrong. On 7 October, Hamas did the highest number of murders ever committed by any terrorist organisation in 1 day and the highest number of murders of Jews in 1 day since the Holocaust. Hamas must not be allowed to rule the Gaza Strip again. Therefore, Israel rejected Hamas's ceasefire proposal because one of the conditions was IDF withdrawal from the Strip. Hamas hides behind the Strip's civilian population. Therefore, killing of civilians in the IDF operation is incidental on the IDF's part. Incidental killing of civilians in a military operation is a tragedy but not a crime. The number of Palestinian fatalities given by Hamas's health ministry, even if it's true, is less than 2% of the Strip's population - and half of 1% of the total Palestinian population of the territories that Fatah wants for the Palestinian state - and includes members of Hamas and their sympathisers.

*Sir Lindsay's decision meant Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer avoided another potential rebellion over the party's position on Gaza as Labour MPs were able to show their support for a ceasefire without voting for an SNP motion.* Last November, Sir Keir suffered a major revolt when 56 of his MPs, including 10 frontbenchers, defied him to back an SNP motion urging an immediate ceasefire. In a statement after the debate, Mr Flynn said it was "a disgrace that Sir Keir Starmer and the Speaker colluded to block Parliament voting on the SNP motion." Visibly furious, he said his party had been treated "with complete and utter contempt." "I will take significant convincing that your position is not now intolerable," he added. It came after Commons leader Penny Mordaunt said Sir Lindsay had "undermined the confidence" of the House and suggested his decision had allowed the debate to be "hijacked" by Labour. She said this had "has raised temperatures in this House on an issue where feelings are already running high." Earlier, a source close to the Speaker said the suggestion he was pressured was "absolutely untrue." Sir Keir accused the Conservatives and SNP of "choosing political games over serious solutions." "Today was a chance for Parliament to unite and speak with one voice on the horrendous situation in Gaza and Israel," he said in a statement. While Sir Lindsay said he would meet key MPs from the main parties to discuss what happened, intense pressure remains on the speaker.

Israel has been a country for longer than "Palestine"

[@cmciaranmasterson]

The Ottoman Empire ruled that part of the world until it was defeated in World War One. On a League of Nations mandate, Britain formed Mandatory Palestine. In 1947, the UN published a plan for partition of Mandatory Palestine which would've meant more land for an Arab state than the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. The Jews accepted the UN plan but the Arab nations didn't. There was no demand for a Palestinian state when, from 1948 to 1967, Egypt ruled the Gaza Strip and Jordan ruled the West Bank and East Jerusalem. The current war began on 7 October, when Hamas invaded Israel and did the highest number of murders ever committed by any terrorist organisation in 1 day and the highest number of murders of Jews in 1 day since the Holocaust. Hamas must not be allowed to rule the Gaza Strip again. Therefore, Israel rejected Hamas's ceasefire proposal because one of the conditions was IDF withdrawal from the Strip. Hamas hides behind the Strip's civilian population. Therefore, killing of civilians in the IDF operation is incidental on the IDF's part.

It is a moral stance and the Palestinian ambassador has correctly summarized it: playing politics and their careers are more important than standing up for children and innocent civilians. And lastly: every media outlet in every European country is arguing the same way. Thereby media is giving cover to the complicity of Western governments that have aided the occupation for 75 years and sent the weapons with which to enforce the regime.

[@hl2808]

I sit here in tears again, thinking about how unprofessional, dishonest, mad, and cowardly our leaders around the world are being faced with the atrocities so many innocent people are facing, especially the Palestinians, and feel so ashamed and powerless when I hear this very composed and most admirable diplomat trying to get through to all of those who are just not hearing or understanding or too selfish to act. I wish you all the courage in the world to keep communicating, and hope that soon, both Israel and the Palestinians will be able to each find peace in their own lands.

[@ceooflonelinessinc.267]

It’s absurd. The more Israel did to live peacefully along Palestine (gaza withdrawal, granting work visas, treating Palestinians in Israeli hospitals etc…), the more violent Humus became towards Israel. It shows they aren’t interested in peace.

[@upendasana7857]

wow how little you really know about what is going on..Gza withdrawal ?! Its been under blockade for last 15 years,has its imports and water and food controlled,treating Palestinians in Israeli hospitals because they are denied medical aid and cannot afford treatments !! oh how kind of Israel who occupy land illegally to allow them to use hospitals whilst shotting at them on the westbank...so kind of them !!

[@shabanac8784]

That is incorrect. Israel has not lived peacefully with the Palestinians, it has occupied Gaza and the West Bank since 1967, how would you like to be occupied for that length of time? It also encourages its people to create settler communities in occupied land, and turns a blind eye to settler violence. We just don't hear much about it in our UK media that's all.

[@tjmarx]

Krishnan is so way off with his assertions in this coverage. A passed bill for ceasefire in parliament would in fact (assuming the king didn't block it) compel the UK to cease funding Israel and arming it until israel had agreed to a ceasefire. It would further compel Cameron as foreign secretary to order yankville to do the same. It would mean Bibi would have just 36 hours before he ran out of his munitions, and a ceasefire would be quickly negotiated. There is a ceasefire agreement on the table right now, it only needs Bibi to agree.

[@sillypuppy5940]

This is a commons motion (ie, the opinion of the commons), not a bill. And there is no way that such a bill would ever be introduced, let alone passed, for so many reasons - not least geopolitics.

Despite Hamas’ deliberate design and conduct to have as many Palestinian die in this war, Israel managed to achieve the lowest civilian to combatant death ratio in modern history of such wars. Genocide and ceasefire all have one thing in common; they didn’t continuously call on Hamas to surrender and return the hostages since October 7. They prefer the survival of terrorist Jihadis over the survival of the kids they hide behind.

[@GreeKurdChannelMilan]

​@@Tamarlane389 They may have, but considering that they are recognized for being a terrorist organization by the international community.

[@Tamarlane389]

@@GreeKurdChannelMilan who cares how they are recognized? 35% of the world doesn’t recognize Israel. They’re returned hostages before, they can again. If Israel won’t stop until the ‘job is done’, then the job is not for the hostages like they pretend it is, the job is to commit genocide and they use hostages as an excuse. Every military analyst says Israel cannot win and it’s impossible to destroy an ideology. If anything, Israel will get more resistance. I don’t see them stopping, I see them being stopped in a way that they won’t expect. They can only do this with western support until they lose that, and eventually they will. If you think there will be no consequences for this, you are wrong

[@GreeKurdChannelMilan]

@@Tamarlane389 What do you mean with your 35% doesn’t recognize Israel? Israel is already a state, a country. Your 35% doesn’t change anything in regards to its existence. Secondly, the ideology you represent is to annihilate the state of Israel. The current Palestinian leadership is paradoxical, locked. Thirdly, Hamas which is a radical movement influenced by Iran and which is 100% defined as a terrorist organization by the west, will never lead Palestine to achieve independence, rather they will create more conflicts because they don’t want to see an end to this conflict, It’s not in their goal to end the conflict. Their charter literally says that it is lawfulness to kill Jews, and to end the state of Israel. If you think this ideology is acceptable in the view of the West and worldwide, then I don’t know in what world you live in, because this is not the world of democracy nor western values. You say “many military analysts says Israel cannot win” Well there are many other military analysts who says that they can win. The one who attacks gets attacked. Now Israel wants to end the threat once and for all.

[@gadishaked9938]

October 7th was characterized by unimaginable cruelty: the terrorists tortured, abused, mutilated and beheaded the victims indiscriminately. Entire families were killed together, many were burned alive in their homes. Why are people protesting as if it didn't happen on October 7? Hamas attacked civilians on October 7. Civilians are not Israel's goal. What is so hard to find here? If he were civilians, the war would be over in less than a week or a few days. The residents of Gaza were complicit in the atrocities of October 7. The construction of the extensive and complex tunnel systems and the production of the rockets could not have occurred without their assistance and/or tacit approval. On this basis alone, they gave up the right to live next to innocent Israeli women and children. What remains to be seen is whether the majority of the Israeli people have come to this understanding. South Africa just accidentally went on a wild goose chase. It's like a dog chasing its own tail. A fire is burning on the roof of South Africa and all they are worried about is the fire in Palestine caused by Hamas? Sometimes there is a problem. The problem is being stupidly wrong and insisting on pretending to be right. "There is nothing in the world more dangerous than honest ignorance and conscientious stupidity" (Martin Luther King Jr.)
