this continues an ongoing thread on Gaza

The O/P read (in part)

"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the population of Gaza will be displaced to the south after his security cabinet approved an expanded military operation in the enclave that a minister described as a plan to “conquer” the territory.

The vote on Sunday came hours after the military said it would mobilize tens of thousands of reservists, strengthening its capacity to operate in the besieged Palestinian territory.

“One thing will be clear: there will be no in-and-out,” Netanyahu said in a Monday video message posted on X. “We’ll call up reserves to come, hold territory — we’re not going to enter and then exit the area, only to carry out raids afterward. That’s not the plan. The intention is the opposite.”

We now have the aid crisis at the focus of world wide attention.

Hundreds march through central London to express solidarity with Palestine
A group of Orthodox Jews joined the protest, many holding banners, and an Israel flag was burned.

Thank you, I don’t believe Jews would/ could tolerate the Star
Of David being burned

Parsley3 Sun 22-Jun-25 15:44:03

If a flag, any flag, was burned its just a piece of coloured cloth, it doesn’t feel pain, and is nothing compared to thousands of people being burned. Be they Palestinian, Jew or anyone else.

Maremia Sun 22-Jun-25 15:54:59

silverlining48, what a STAR! Well done, and glad it went well for everyone. And you met some lovely interesting people. thanks thanks thanks

silverlining48 Sun 22-Jun-25 16:26:35

Thanks Maremia. It really was a special day and despite the discomfort of the incredible heat, am glad I went and hope our govt take note that people do care about this.

You don’t understand, 10,000 flags couldn’t save one life fact,

Annie, You are being obtuse.

shock

March, protest by all means.

But burning the Star of David?
I'm speechless.

silverlining48 Sun 22-Jun-25 18:49:35

This march was today from Marble arch. and not the one I was on yesterday from Russell Square. Nothing was burned on Saturday as far as I know.

Claremont Sun 22-Jun-25 19:22:59

I would never burn a flag- but it is just a piece of material- the Star of David is not any more important than others. Would it really bother you if the Palestinian flag was burnt.

Some still deny that over 50.000 people have died in Palestine, many burn alive, including babies and children.

Goading.
Yes, it would. It's disgraceful.

Anniebach Sun 22-Jun-25 22:15:41

IDF have found bodies of three hostages and taken them home
to Israel, one was a woman aged 71 when she was murdered
October 2023, her body was taken to Gaza,

A flag is not just a piece of material 😡
It’s a symbol of identity, a reflection of country, cultural heritage representing who we are as people and where we come from.

So true, I care deeply for my Welsh Flag

Flag burning is moronic.

Anniebach Sun 22-Jun-25 23:02:39

The Israeli flag is only 80 years old, what it must have meant to
Jews , their country and their flag after centuries

Maremia Mon 23-Jun-25 11:19:31

I agree that flag burning is disrespectful, but it is much, much, much, more than disrespectful to bomb and burn children.

News from Australia on The Guardian online today, the ABC breached the Fair Work Act when it terminated broadcaster Antoinette Lattouf for holding a political view opposing the Israeli military campaign in Gaza.

News from Australia on The Guardian online today, the ABC breached the Fair Work Act when it terminated broadcaster Antoinette Lattouf for holding a political view opposing the Israeli military campaign in Gaza.

Impartiality is central to the ABC’s purpose and to its reputation as a credible and trustworthy public service media organisation. The essential process that leads to impartiality in journalism is objectivity.

Impartiality requires that the ABC:

Takes no editorial stance other than its commitment to fundamental democratic principles including the rule of law, freedom of speech and religion, parliamentary democracy and non-discrimination.
Is never seen to be advocating for any particular outcome in contentious political, policy or social debates.
Provides accurate, fair and unbiased information and a wide range of relevant perspectives to help audiences make up their own minds on controversial issues.

The Guardian online

Yes, I do look at the Guardian but that publication is hardly unbiased!
