All true. What happened to ‘all eyes on Rafah’ like anyone knew where it was.

Do you want me to clarify?

Just asking for one mainstream media outlet to allow the truth or at least skepticism of Hamas numbers. Reading the news is like being witness to the Evian conference

Biggest problem has been sympathiser in western countries for terrorists who used their megaphones for terrorists propaganda .

How come you don’t see such marches and protests in Islamic countries ?

Western countries have allowed unprecedented freedom to terrorists supporters to go on violent binge and attacks on Jews without repuctions

Loved this. Made me start to feel a bit more positive. What about the latest ceasefire talks though? Will Netanyahu tell them to go fuck themselves?

David Lammy- isn't he the one that has employed Minouche Shafik- ex Dean of Columbia University who allowed and excused the vile behaviour of students and permitted Jewish students to be bullied and harassed ? She's now getting paid vast sums of taxpayer money for what ?

Since the formation of the state of Israel, its destruction and the murder of Jews by its enemies has never ceased and never will, until all the Jews are murdered. The enemies of Israel have told them so. They will never release the hostages even if their absurd demands are met. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Plan accordingly.

Release the hostages

Surrender

I think Israel's situation is much more grave that represent, but thank you for writing about Hamas manipulation of the media. I hope you're right.

Unfortunately this stupidity will carry on growing as confidence in western values decline.

If we head into a large scale armed conflict with Hezbollah / Iran with a rapid victory (like 1967) then the stupidity will wilt - as even the stupid don’t like boasting about being losers.

Whereas if it becomes a protracted war or there are noticeable Israeli setbacks the stupidity will gain momentum.
