We sit by watching as children starve to death, their mothers’ cannot feed them and their fathers’ unable to provide them with food.

Every single calorie is controlled by one government.

Why are we allowing this situation to continue?

How do you know Arab women are safe in the West Bank.? I don't think any Arab is safe there now with the land grabbing, violent Israelis taking over.

Is it the case that when posters run out of justication for the genocide in Gaza they bring up mention of the Atrocity?

What a deeply peculiar statement.
If they hadn’t invaded and murdered over a thousand Israelis and taken over two hundred hostages then the war in Gaza wouldn’t be happening.So of course it’s highly relevant.

Not peculiar at all Oreo. It is brought up over and over again to try to justify the killing of 63000 Palestinians.
Not one poster has said they weren't deeply distressed by the atrocity but it's wearing having to repeat it every day.

It’s the whole reason for this war and it’s not quite over yet.
It’s wearing to hear the same old things about Gaza come to that.
What do you think Israel should have done? Turn the other cheek?!
All countries would have invaded with huge loss of life, it’s inevitable.

Yes, the war wouldn't be happening but this isn't a war, this is genocide oreo.

Of course Israel shouldn't have 'turned the other cheek' but that is no justification for committing war crimes.

And yet travel advice says, 'Extremist Israeli settler violence occurs frequently and civilians have been targeted'

Israel was a first world democracy but I don't think it can be considered to be one now Annie; 'If you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas'.

You’re full of Biblical quotes aren’t you?
I don’t think you have the first idea about Palestinians or Israelis come to that.
As a woman you’d be perfectly safe walking around in Israel, the same couldn’t have been said even before this war if you walked around in Gaza.

oreo unless you can provide concrete examples of your last post I will simply dismiss it as a racist trope.

I thought the remark saying even before the war women were not safe to walk around Gaza was borderline racist as well.
