They should have a death to Hamas rally they should.
Makes me sick seeing all these innocent people on both sides getting needlessly slaughtered.

Did you watch Union with David Olusoga on BBC2 recently? It was basically a history of Britain since 1603 but not the usual England centric nonsense you usually get with these things, there was quite a bit of focus on all four nations. Quite a bit about Irish partition and the Easter Rising in the fourth episode. Whole series is well worth a watch.

I'll second that. Excellent programme.

I don't get these pro Palestine marches, surely it should be a stop the war protest? Israelis were slaughtered, which seems to be the fuse that started this, yet it's all pro palestine marches.

Personally if I was going to protest, it would be to say stop it for both sides.

I’d say that effectively what they’re doing anyway. They’re campaigning in support of a viable Palestinian state, not in support of Hamas whose actions did indeed kick off this latest round of mass slaughter. But Israel’s response has been to indiscriminately target pretty much all the people of Gaza. And frankly that’s a war crime.

Umm, they are not, all the demos I have seen they are in support of Palestine, where I would say they should be in support of just calling for a ceasefire and end to the bloodshed. I won't take any sides in this, because I have tried to read up on the history, and for the life of me, I can't work out, who is right, and who is wrong, so I can only say, Just Stop.

Nicely put. Far more intelligent people than you and I face the same problem.

I would agree with ECB that Israel's current onslaught is not defendable though, despite the horrific actions of Hamas.

I agree it's horrific, but i can understand sort of, I saw a video of some leader from Hamas saying we will keep on doing this?

So after the atrocities committed by Hamas, they say, they will do it again? It's nuts over there, and I think it's gone past the talking stage, so I think for me I would just say stop it, not pro Israel, not pro Palestine.. Just stop.

I guess that would need a mediator, that could talk some sense into the both of them, and stop this bloodshed.
