It is very difficult to understand what is really happening and what are lies being perpetrated by Israel or Hamas. Add to this reporting restrictions and it is surprising we know as much as we do.

International law states that
occupying forces have a duty of care to the civilians of that country.
It means ensuring their safety and food and other aid is available to them.
It does not mean bombing, shooting and starving them.

I’m not going to trade bible quotes with you, because I know that if you so wished you could find a quote in the Old Testament that ruled the exact same requirement.

So don’t play games annie

However if you can’t find any I can quote them.

I read my bible, I spent much time in recluse studying my
Bible, I led study groups in my church, I would never use my
bible to play games with you

I see that Israelis are trying to block the aid entering Gaza.

Throughout the Old Testament there are many calls to help your fellow man, examples include

feeding hungry enemies and returning lost livestock, showing that even enemies should be treated with basic human decency and respect.

God’s chosen people have a duty to respect Gods words.

Feeding enemies is in Book of Romans, New Testament , written by Saint Paul a Christian

There’s going to be a pause to allow aid in according to tv news.

I suppose there is still TikTok and YouTube for news but I wouldn't put my faith in either of them for truth and accuracy.

We have had quotes from Miriam Margolyes and Owen Jones
posted , both anti Israel,

As reported on bbc r4 this morning. The Israeli ambassador to the uk has said today that if the we recognise Palestine as a state the USA will not be happy. Or words to that effect.
Are we or are we not a sovereign nation?

Less and less these days.

Seems the BBC can be forced to speak untruths

The public has a right to know what is happening in Gaza. We can make our own minds up about what we see.
This suffocation of the news is not in our best interests and I think is an erosion of our rights.

Forced to apologise? by whom ?

The GHF aid sites are a death trap and aid should only be distributed by the UN.
The GHF held a "women only" day at one of it's sites. A former US soldier said the IDF were firing into the crowd of women and some were killed.

As reported by BBC
Are you saying the man in the interview was lying?

Are you saying he is speaking thr truth or you think he is speaking the truth

Starmer says that the UK will be taking part in the air drops of food.

Many media outlets this morning are saying that there will be a 'temporary' truce in Gaza to allow in aid. Hope this works for enough people.

Claremont Sun 27-Jul-25 09:48:20

No, none of them were 'against Jews' - all were highlighting what is going on and how the Palestinians have been treated abominably, not only in Gaza, but all over the West Bank and beyond. First with forceful and criminal eviction for illgela settlements- and now with this diabolical genocide.

It shows that great pressure was put upon the BBC from high above.
