Why does anyone think Hamas would stop its ambitions of destroying Israel? Do they not understand the Islamic “Taqiyya appears in Sura 3:28:"? “Let not the believers take the unbelievers for friends; and whoever does this, shall have nothing to do with Allâh in any matter; unless you do this to protect yourselves from the unbelievers. Thus Allâh cautions you to have reverence only for him. To Allâh is destiny.” [Translation.] Regarding 3:28, Ibn Kathir writes, “… believers who in some areas or times fear for their safety from the disbelievers… are allowed to show friendship to the disbelievers outwardly, but never inwardly.” Ibn Kafthir quotes Muhammad‘s companion, Abu Ad-Darda’, who said “we smile in the face of some people although our hearts curse them"

It wasn't the peoples' choice. Brexit lies led to installing a puppet authoritarian government that repeatedly broke UK law and tried to break international law. There was a Stalinist-type purge of decent politicians by our "Glorious leader Johnson" leading to seriously mentally and empathy deficient people with track records of perversion, corruption, incompetence, and lying being appointed as MPs. You can see the result in the economic failures of the UK along with its loss of soft power, and five different Prime Ministers in 14 years. It's hard to clean such a toxic government when the've curtailed the right to protest, created so many problems (I think deliberately) to distract people from organizing a peoples' opposition as they are struggling with the largest tax burden for over 100 years, openly racist leadership, millions of people waiting for hospital treatment, deliberately created the largest number of asylum seekers ever with spiraling cost for accommodation to piss people off, given hundreds of billions of pounds to the wealthiest business and people, created the largest gap in inequality outside the US, spent most of their time working for themselves, and allowing energy prices to zoom upwards, bathing waters to be polluted with millions of gallons of turds and even allowed coliform to come out in the drinking water supply. That's only the start of it ... but there are a majority of decent people in the UK.

The Ottoman Empire, which supported the Nazis, lost the area in question in WW1. What don't you understand? It was given to the jews. Gaza was created by Egypt as well. A haven for radicals.

I am truly flabbergasted with your ability to ignore history and current facts (where has the international aid to Palestine gone?). RADICALISM.

[@sigi9669]

Exactly this. I would like to refer anyone doubting this to the ICJ verdict of 2004 where this factuality was specified.

[@JamieTwells]

Do they have the right to resist in the way they resisted on October 7th?

[@sigi9669]

@@JamieTwells Short answer, yes. Under international law the October 7 attack was a justified act of armed resistance. Which is not to say that everything which happened on that day was legal. As there are clear indications that there were some individual fighters who committed unlawful acts. All the evidence which we've seen so far indicates that these illegal acts were not centrally coordinated. Meaning that any criminal proceedings will have to target individuals, not the organisation as a whole. In the same way any soldier committing unlawful acts in an otherwise lawful fight can be prosecuted. The taking of civilian hostages is murky. As this is technically illegal under international law. But any judge ruling on this will take into account the fact that Israel has been doing this for decades. And at any given time holds thousands of Palestinian civilians hostage. As Hamas took these hostages in an attempt to trade them for Palestinian civilian hostages, this won't likely weigh heavy on a possible verdict towards Hamas. To end on a sarcastic note: of the 1200 Israeli people who died on that day 700 were soldiers, and thus legitimate targets. Which puts the collateral damage split lower than one to one. Which, by Israelis stated metric, makes the al-Qassam brigades (Hamas' military wing) the most moral army in the world (Israel's words, not mine).

The UK govt position is bizarre. Even the US govt is saying there is famine in Gaza caused by Israel. How can anyone say Israel is not in compliance with international law and that it can be trusted to enter Rafah???

Andrew Mitchell should be on his way to The Hague after his appearance here. Shame on him.

[@DianeDale-d9z]

1000% in agreement...they think we are all sheep,total fools or totally materialistic and do't give a damn about the shocking genocide taking place in plain sight as the world looks on...FREE FREE PALESTINE

[@jayneyaghmour7320]

Absolutely👍

[@kimberleylouiseprance445]

When are these horrible individuals going to stop defending a genocide?

[@timonsolus]

Maybe when Iran stops defending the genocide committed by Hamas?

[@ProblematicBitch]

when the money stops rolling in

[@Bill-zb1wc]

When they are voted out and never allowed a position of power again.

[@peterfrank1572]

The idea that they can continue to simply make up a statement with the word "Hammas" in it to justify this horror is so disgudting. And frankly if these people are not jailed for this will be a mistake !

Tell me, why Israel government asking Palestinian 800,000 to move? Move to where? And what rights does Israel government have to move Palestinian citizens?

[@victoriacritchlow9069]

Would you rather they be bombed then no army in history has moved people out of harms way. Has put in moved the Ukrainians? No. It's all antisemitic wake up and see the truth

If food is being delivered to Rafah but 800,000 people have moved away, then that's nearly 1 million people who can't receive it...

[@hazelthorp317]

Don't be stupid, the Gaza strip is very small and there are trucks. The fact that Hamas keeps robbing these trucks is another matter.

[@_rymak_2044]

​@@hazelthorp317 asking for proof from israh3ll supporters is like saying Dodos still exist today...

[@rachael_grey]

​​@@hazelthorp317All of the aid and medical orgs--as well as international monitors---say Israel is lying. The United States even admits they're full of it. Hamas is NOT stealing food. Too many independent people could affirm they were if it was true. It is not. Israel lets 50 trucks in per day TOPS. For 2.3 million people. Sick. Sick. Sick.

This is what being on the wrong side of history looks like. The Tories are using the same level of rhetorical vigour seen during the brexit campaign.
