If ever there was the ultimate definition, the United Nations have nailed it. "To deliberately starve people for months and then open fire on them when they clamour for morsels of food you have allowed through, is the sheer epitome of Evil."

This should of course be echoed by the Western Leaders. I think Gaza is the tip of the iceberg for the End of the Human Race. It's not like Nazi Germany. The ROTW condemned them and went to war with them. The silence and complete lack of urgency and inertness to what is happening is unprecedented. No longer about hostages or October 7th. This is about the culling of an entire people and robbing land.

If the United Nations are ignored we are all of us on the precipice of disaster. It's madness, that because people are terrified of being labelled Antisemitic and being smeared by the Holocaust of the 20th Century, they are overseeing the 'Holocaust' of the 21st Century. Never Again didn't just mean Israel. It meant NEVER AGAIN.

When people realise that the establishment just hates people?

Cannon fodder is ten a penny.

I echo your settlements Larry the Pussycat.

I find the Gaza situation very distressing. Some of the statements issued by some Israeli government ministers that Palestinian children are evil and should be culled just shocking.

I cannot believe the mass of Israelis support this. I can barely look at Twitter / X at present were so many photos of dead or badly injured and starved Palestinian kids are shown.

It's so personal for me because of my Mother and her parents Jewish backgrounds who were the gentlest and most compassionate of people.(Mind you so was my wonderful Scottish dad)

I've been to numerous Arab countries including working and living in Oman for 9 months in the early 80s. I've only ever received hospitality and generosity.

Jewish people deserve a homeland, safety & security (perhaps the vast areas of West Australia 10 times bigger than Israel would have been a better location)

A pox on wretched Hamas for their actions. Even if there was truth to the so-called "Hannibal Directive" what Hamas thought would be achieved is a mystery.

And a pox on the ghastly Netanyahu & his more crazed Ministers.

## Ironically my father who was a very successful banker all his life, in old age decided Western banking was inherently evil and corrupt & became a great fan of Islamic banking.

Yes Hedda. I think the tide is beginning to turn on the Netanyahu regime. Many many Israelis want the slaughter to end. Hamas should just release all the hostages as holding them gives greater leverage to the Netanyahu Death Squad. More killed at an Aid point last night. Tanks opened fire on civilians killing scores of starving people.

Fully agree with DSC & Hedda posts.

I have been away in Italy and deliberately avoided it all (as if it makes a difference what I know or don't know!) the past week.

I can't bear it all anymore and have no words...

Except to say the International Community must forget whatever has stopped it acting in the past and descend on Gaza/Israel.

Now. For the sake of Palestinians and Israeli citizens. And stay until the wankers desist...
