I heaved a sigh of relief that most of Iran's drones and missiles had been brought down without reaching Israel and it seems little damage has been done, but it seems that is not the end of it. So, what do you think is going on? Does Israel need to have a full scale war with Iran and what do you think it would achieve or is this really about keeping Netanyahu's right wing govt on side?

I don’t support the killing of anyone for whatever reason and I don’t support Hamas. But anyone who thinks that what Israel’s govt is doing is not genocide needs their heads examining. Many Israelis do not support what their own govt is doing.

What Hamas did was totally unacceptable and appalling and I hope those personally responsible are caught and appropriately punished. I hope every single Israeli family, and any other nationality, who were killed or kidnapped finds out where the missing bodies are and can grieve their loss.

I still support a full ceasefire.

As for saying no one in the world likes Palestinians, they cause trouble, that is pure bigotry towards an entire race.
