However, the educated, sophisticated, very, very wealthy men are not the ones who put their own lives in danger. They rely on the youths to do that, of course.

What is acceptable?

None of it, foxie48, absolutely none of it.

I don’t see it as revenge, it’s ongoing defence against terrorism,

I see it as revenge on both sides and there is no end to it.

Why oh why must the children card be played ? Hamas are certainly playing it.

Perhaps because children are dying. I don't care if Hamas are playing it, they are vile but we are not and the lives of innocent children matter.

I totally agree with you.

Yes children are dying, surely all lives matter

So how does killing children and women defend the world against terrorism? Hamas doesn't care how many children, women, innocent Palestinians die. Why would they? I honestly don't understand your logic. Please explain.

Of course "all lives matter" I don't understand your point.

I’m genuinely shocked that referring to the death of children can be called “playing the children card”

Women, children and men’s lives matter, unless you believe every man is a terrorist

Iam I am genuinely shocked that many disregard lives of
women and men

foxie,you are wasting your time. Sadly this has become some sort of focus for various grudges,losses and boredom to play out.

Desperately sad but not as sad as writing your name on your family's legs so their bodies can be identified.

Personal attacks yet again

Just a reminder of how their beloved leaders live.

That does not surprise me. The young men they use are just cannon fodder.

I'm am surprised the police are doing nothing.

Do they not remember Ian Gow, Jo Cox, Sir David Amess and others?

No personal attack. Sad state of affairs for all.

It seems not.

I am not bored, I do not have a grudge Cakmib

Casllistemon it’s baffling how they are allowed to line the road ,

It's not a card being played, Anniebach, it's despair... that humanity can slaughter its children who, regardless, of the war or its cause, are entirely innocent, who don't know why they're being butchered by Hamas, or bombed and shot at by Israel. They have no say, no voice, they rely on adults to protect them... and it's just heart breaking. Do you know why it's so grievous, so bad? Because there is absolutely nothing that children can do about what is happening and what has happened to them, they are completely and utterly defenceless.

To suggest that being upset about children - both Israeli and Palestinian - being maimed and killed is playing a 'card' is below the belt.

Dickens yes children are being killed, I really don’t understand why their parents are never spoken of, where does these deaths leave children in poverty?
