Rabid hatred of the Jews by a bunch of worthless thugs. That's what's on display here.

If you hear free Palestine as kill all jews then you will inevitably see that. What about the videos by Israelis laughing and mocking at Palestinians who have no drinking water (in direct violation of international law on how occupier nations should behave)?

Israel's 9/11 (and I don't know if you've cottoned on yet that it was allowed/faked to start the war on terror) may have been planned for just this over reaction and ethnic cleansing of Gaza by Israel but it has brought out into the open for many the unsustainability of the US military base in the middle of the Arab world, aka Israel, and their continued violations of international laws and their terrible treatment, according to Gabor Mate and many others, of Palestinians.

If Israel was planning on a Palestinian genocide it would have been completed easily decades ago.. I think your hat is on crooked.

Oh. so it's not "kill all Jews." Then how about that march in which thousands of rabid Hamas supporters stormed though the streets of Sydney shouting "Gas the Jews! Fuck the Jews!" You like that one?

And that 41 second Tik Tok video you alluded to was posted by a single individual, "not videos by Israelis" as you wrote. Moreover, satire is not the same thing as slaughtering dozens of babies.

Your video could very easily have been faked and posted by Hamas as false flag propaganda. But even if it's genuine, If Hamas released the 199 Jewish civilian hostages, including babies and grandmothers,the water would once again flow.

Allahu akbar and all that Jazz.

I am not responsible for what so called supporters of Hamas do or don't do.

I don't think it's very helpful to post these videos that may cause an anti Palestinian response when the mission of the Israelis, 100% supported by UK and US politicians and MSM, is to eradicate the Arabs in Gaza and then in Israel altogether.

for balanced journalism we need footage, without commentary as they say, of over 75 years of men, women and children being similarly abused, and killed, imprisoned without trial, placed under siege, denied free travel and preparing for a ground invasion by Jewish people.

Does it surprise you that Trust & Safety so quickly reversed the permanent and groundless ban on my Substack participation that you requested?

I know what videos you are describing and they are despicable. They are individuals who feel the same hatred these marchers have. They are just as dangerous, but they do not have the anonymity feeding this psychosis.

Sadly, you appear to share in some of this hatred. You do not see any moral difference between action/response. That is how we got here.

Hussain Abdul-Hussain had a thoughtful expression of his worry and hope of the Palestinians and Israelis yesterday and suggestions on how to pick up the pieces. It would serve all of us to have a look at what a rational, cogent approach from an Arabic perspective looks like. I don't believe the way forward will come from the West. It needs to come from Arabs themselves.

Due to what has changed over the last 10 years with a few Arab countries and Israel, there is a path forward. They started to do the heavy lifting. You can see it. I NEVER thought that would happen. Hamas threatens that progress. If you can't see that today, I hope you can see it soon.

What is the path forward that the Israelis or the Arab countries have offered the Palestinians in the past 10 years? Have the illegal settlers left the occupied territories, have they offered the Arab majority fair exchange of land or release from their open air prison? And how did the submissive attitude before Hamas was elected promote this?

You are right the solution will not come from the west, nor the Arab nations who may well be incited to destroy Israel the same way Ukraine has been destroyed by the US proxy war with Russia.

It will end when China and BRICS decide it will end. And they will do it with diplomacy.

Many Arab and other Muslim countries need Palestine to be right where it is today. They find it quite useful as it is, and probably have little interest in helping Palestinians.

Jordan, Egypt, and the rest of the Middle East do not want a new influx of Palestinians from Gaza. These countries know the Gazans have been brainwashed by Hamas and have the potential to cause chaos and mayhem inside their new country's borders.

Your inability to understand anything other than your side is how people get trapped. There is no use in a point/counterpoint discussion because you will simply deny truth. There is only your side.

It is what caused Hamas' barbaric behavior and the Israeli response.

For people on your side saying they want peace and freedom on the one hand but accepting little to no responsibility is how we got here. I get that you can't see how absurd it is. That's why I suggested you read what Abdul-Hussain wrote. Pity you won't do that.

Palestinians (not the Palestinian State they don't have one) may mean when chant 'from the river to the sea' that they want to kill the people (who all happen to be Jews because that is what Zionism is all about; racism) who took 'their' land, but when the Israel state, with the full support of the US and the UK) say 'from the river to the sea' they are actually f-ing doing it and mowing down people on 'their' land
