Jesus, Sunak says that there are not two sides and that he's standing with Israel
there are two sides Sunak; the sane and the insane
Standing with Israel as they enclose, cut off water and electricity and bomb at night a population 50% of whom are children. This may not age well Rishi.
I’m now waiting for the Israeli flags in British front gardens. Netanyahu has already been in his bunker talking to Joe on the phone thanking him for the $billions in military support.
Shame on you Sunak, Braverman and the biased British media. You're a joke and a disgrace.
The Hamas attack was not ‘unprovoked’; Palestinians have been persecuted for 75 years by Israelis who are occupying their land; supported by the UK and the US.
I think the Hamas attack was almost certainly planned, orchestrated or allowed by the Israelis or the CIA for exactly this scripted response.
Hamas only formed as freedom fighters against occupation and persecution, they only exist because of occupation, and their action is certainly not unprovoked. I do not have to believe your propaganda about them, in the same way that I don’t have to condemn Putin’s actions as unjustified nor that he’s evil. Although OF COURSE I hate all violence.
You cannot support and stand with the actions of the Israeli government, who are openly targeting and attacking Palestinian civilians, if at the same time you oblige everyone you allow to speak on British media, including Palestinian officials whose families have just been murdered, to repeatedly condemn Hamas (NOT the Palestinian government) for so doing. We know you’ve been told that is the take home message you want from any interview; Hamas are very bad (so Palestinian civilians deserve all the punishment that they get) and Israel good (though they started it).
You cannot ask what the Palestinian government can do to suppress these people fighting for freedom from their open air prison, aka the Gaza Strip, nor how Palestinians can make themselves more submissive so the Israelis will not have to hit them so hard next time.
It’s a bit like blaming your battered wife for trying to poison you. I do not condone her poisoning you, but it was certainly provoked and understandable. Then you start trying to make her admit that she’s been very bad, that it’s her fault, that she should condemn herself for being evil. You start making sure all your friends agree that it’s her fault, that she’s been very bad and is evil, to justify your continuing to batter her, and then getting them to help you pummel her so hard she’ll never try it again. Only later is is discovered that you took the poison yourself to set up your wife.
You are insane.
No-one had ever thought of hating or blaming British Jews until you put that into our minds so why did you do that Braverman? And if we accept that the attack was allowed or orchestrated by the US to stimulate active Israeli aggression and violence, what do we make of Braverman’s recommendations then? I get a sense now that this is happening with Jewish schools in the UK closing. Perhaps this was the plan?
From a comment on Caitlin Johnstone ‘Since I was TEN YEARS OLD I’ve been a supporter of Palestine. What israel has done and continues to do is in my opinion just a recycling of the cycle of abuse they received on behalf of the Germans in the Holocaust. The open aired ghettos, ethnic supremacy, genocidal violence... it’s so obvious to me and it’s been obvious to me since I was fucking 10. I’ve been a Palestinian supporter to great personal blowback - I was nearly excommunicated from my own family for not being pro Israel. Right now I have to be very careful about what I say and how I say it, and I hate that. My mom - 66 years old practicing Jew - is heartbroken. She can’t believe what the world has come to. I have Israeli family friends, and they have relatives in Israel. It’s scary and horrible - innocent people on both sides are going to be the ones paying for this with their lives and limbs, especially the Palestinians.
And that’s the thing. It NEEDS TO BE SCREAMED that 40% of the population of Palestine is under 14. 50% under 18. They’ve been in essentially PRISON for 16 years! They don’t know any other world. They’re trapped. This is a prison outbreak, a slave revolt. It’s not a religious conflict although religious reasons are convenient - it’s a conflict of land and resources brought on by settler colonialism. Thanks Europe! Israel likes to call every operation they do in Palestine as “mowing the grass”. The once genocided are now the genociders.’
This attack is certainly Israel’s 9/11, both fake, planned or allowed and intended to start a ‘war on terror’ and on whatever Muslim, Arab or oil rich country the US wants to attack. The insane Lindsay Graham wants to bomb the oil fields of Iran because of their support for Hamas.
And you have again misfired little US lapdog Sunak, we know you’re reading for a script. You’ve encouraged and strengthened BRIS and are now helping to unify Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Iran and Palestine against Israel, the US and the UK.
You are dangerous as well as insane.

There are two sides. And its not Hamas VS Israel government. That's the choice presented.
It's humanity VS the cult behind all of it. Cult controls Hamas, Cult controls Israel Government. Don't fall for or perpetuate the ongoing divides they give us.
Jo, I've used the battered wife analogy many times. It's a great way to show the hypocrisy of "blaming the victim" when they fight back.
I just watched Bret Weinstein interview an Israeli journalist who was in the Army for many years. The suggestion in this discussion is that the ability of Hamas to infiltrate Israeli territory in Gaza was "convenient". An intentional act on Israels part to provoke a wider offensive???? Here's the link. Worth watching. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_IAH7PnS_E
