Re: the misconception of what is good and what is evil
I notice no mention of the Hamas attack and murder of many and taking of hostages that precipitated the justified Israeli response. Meanwhile the Hamas leadership reside in Qatar safe from what the people they purport to represent are suffering on their behalf in Gaza.

Palestinian protests marches in nearly every major city around the globe. The IDF shot two young boys dead today an 8 year old and 14 year in the West Bank. That is 52 children killed by the IDF in the West bank since 7th October.

Re: the misconception of what is good and what is evil
It started in 47 when the likes of the Stern gang where hanging British soldiers; there at the behest of the UN, it should have been stopped then but sympathies where with the Jews after what happened during the war. But they learned a lot from the Nazis, get a picture of Warsaw and put it alongside Gaza, both prison camps. And Gaza was there long before Hamas was a child of the Palestinians.

Re: the misconception of what is good and what is evil
The numbers, the basic facts, where do they come from.
Of course the media, so if they continue to post details we will never know the true number

As you are a mine of information James, can you please let us know how many Israeli children/babies were killed and abducted on 7th October

This version of events is not true and you must know it. The marches are for peace and end to war, they are also in protest at unjust killing of civilians on both sides of conflict. The people are not in favour of Hamas or their actions, they want to see an end to occupation an end to the siege of Gaza and freedom for all people.

Re: the misconception of what is good and what is evil
#28, At least 29 children have been identified by international authorities as having died in the Oct. 7 attack on Israel by Hamas. But a video, citing a post deleted by the World Jewish Congress, has been circulating online falsely suggesting that children didn’t die in the attack in Israel.
Ivan it is not a numbers game. You have two groups who are being used by their so called politcal leaders . One guy is fighting for his politcal survival and the other lot are just a bunch of terrorists, well so the BBC keep saying.
Me I just want to see an end to all wars , why should children be suffering just because some asshole wants to show the world his plonker is bigger than the other guys plonker
Old saying when men refuse to fight there will be no more wars.
How many here have been involved in or witnessed violent deaths? I am not talking about industrial accidents or corporate manslaughter.

The children killed yesterday were part of a group throwing explosives at the IDF.
