- without warning, in the middle of the night- in the middle of Ramadan.

NOTHING.

Wyllow3 Wed 26-Mar-25 17:43:22

Oh Annie.....
I thought this might bring a break in "all Palestinian are Hamas/tools of Hamas."

Anniebach Wed 26-Mar-25 17:50:31

“Wyllow* if it is true that all those Palestinians were forced to
mock the Israeli hostages ? I was said on this thread , lies have
long talons do they not ?

And seems Hamas had nothing to do with the horrific attack
October 2023: should I say “the alleged attack “?

If there was any mocking of the Israeli hostages I didn’t see it, what I saw and heard was a lot of noise from an a huge sneegat disorderly crowd and smiling hostages waving.

silverlining48 Wed 26-Mar-25 18:35:19

Somewhat not sneegat. Where did that come from?

Galaxy Wed 26-Mar-25 18:39:33

Oh it is quite a while since I have seen the 'but those women were smiling' defense.

Thanks foxie48, re the info about how Israeli over-reaction brought about the formation of Hamas.
Talking about demonstrations, did you see the report about that 80+ Holocaust Surviver being arrested during a pro Gaza march in London?

Anniebach Wed 26-Mar-25 18:49:26

Nothing changes, bad Israelis, Hamas hero’s.

Maremia Wed 26-Mar-25 18:51:38

Hamas are horrendous. I have not seen any GN state otherwise, nor have you Anniebach.

silverlining48 Wed 26-Mar-25 18:53:02

Not sure what you mean by that remark Galaxy.

Anniebach Wed 26-Mar-25 18:54:29

What brought about the murders of the 1972 Israeli Olympic team in the Olympic Village, Munich by Black September Palestinian terrorists ?

You missed the comparison of Hamas with Mandela and the SA freedom fighters

Annie, I dont know if some Palestinians were mocking the hostages and if so as you well know most posters on this thread have made it clear we do not condone it in anyway.

And most posters have made it clear over, and over again, that the attack on the 23rd Oct was appalling and inexcusable. Said many times over.

But why deny the demonstrations by Palestinians against Hamas? Isn't that what you would want to see?

Maremia Wed 26-Mar-25 18:59:31

Here we go, what brought about the murder of the 5th Israeli Prime Minister, Yitzhak Rabin?

Galaxy Wed 26-Mar-25 19:08:23

They were women scared of a baying mob of predominantly men silverlining.

Anniebach Wed 26-Mar-25 19:09:56

Politics , same as JFK, Robert Kennedy when running for president. Several UK MP’s , and many more I am sure

Anniebach Wed 26-Mar-25 19:15:05

Unbelievable,’ I don’t know if some Palestinians were mocking the hostages ‘ Wyllow

silverlining48 Wed 26-Mar-25 19:15:53

You could be right of course who knows what they were thinking . I didn’t see it that way, they looked as relaxed as anyone could be given their situation.

I was interested in the media reports of protests against Hamas and there is quite a bit about it. There was opposition to Hamas long before the war, though much of it remained hidden for fear of reprisals. Hamas are terrorists and wouldn't spare their own people but I am hopeful that the tide is beginning to turn now.

Thank you, they said they were so. Fearful, perhaps a lie, perhaps number of dead in Gaza, malnutrition killing babies etc from Hamas perhaps lies

Wyllow3 Wed 26-Mar-25 19:26:32

I certainly believe it's possible Annie, of course

Its just that I thought you'd be glad about anti-Hamas demonstrations.

Galaxy Wed 26-Mar-25 19:32:26

So when women are faced by aggressive men they often react in particular ways, I actually saw grimacing and fear on their faces. I wonder how the progressives would react if for example some members of the BNP had kidnapped some women and on their release had made them work through an aggressive crowd if their supporters.

*Parsley” thank you for the link,I pray the tide is beginning to
turn and in my prayers for Gaza and Israel I will add these demonstrators , what bravery

Wyllow3 Wed 26-Mar-25 21:34:58

The BBC link is the same as the Guardian link I gave 2 page ago that I was referring to - there's a video and the sources clearly stated

I'm glad you've seen it and it's in your prayers.

Anniebach Wed 26-Mar-25 21:39:10

Thank you Wyllow I fear for anyone in danger from Hamas

ronib Thu 27-Mar-25 08:16:03

Yes I fear too Anniebach but aren’t we all in danger of this terrorist group if to a different degree of harm? Hamas has effectively banned dialogue between the Uk and Netanyahu. Hamas has been leading this particular terror campaign since it took the hostages and it’s still in charge by refusing to hand over the remaining hostages and corpses. The West needs an urgent rethink? The bottom line should be lifting sanctions on Netanyahu.
