What ceasefire? 400 Palestinians have been slaughtered since the Oct ceasefire. Guess how many Israelis have been killed? Gaza: Two children killed every day during fragile ceasefire, says UNICEF https://news.un.org/en/story/2025/11/1166420

Why are you sorting the facts? Why are you so adamant that Israel can do no wrong? GAZA, 19 December 2025 – Four out of every five children in Gaza will enter the new year still facing crisis levels of hunger, despite the agreement by Israeli authorities two months ago to allow more aid in, including food, said Save the Children following the release of new hunger data. https://www.savethechildren.net/news/gaza-four-out-five-children-face-catastrophic-levels-hunger-2026

As well as starving them, they have broken the ceasefire almost every day. This wasn't even newsworthy on many news outlets, yet if they had been Israeli, it would be front page news. Israeli troops kill six Palestinians, including a baby, sheltering in Gaza school – video https://www.theguardian.com/world/video/2025/dec/20/israeli-troops-kill-six-palestinians-including-a-baby-sheltering-in-gaza-school-video

They're busy in Lebanon, where the IDF terrorists are breaking all laws.

You're so sensitive jonny. Can you go one day without v saying 'leftie'. Low self esteem behaviour, focus on your own irrational bigotry.

Thais on LINE hate it when I say Nee Hao, when they look Chinese.

So funny and true. Biden couldn't make a speech without autocue. Some idiots even said he was fit for another 4 years.

It's incredible Bill,the power and influence the Israel lobby has. If any other country was breaking ceasefires and international law like Israel are, the US would attack them. It's pathetic.

What is going on with the USA? Disgraceful. US declined to condemn illegal Israeli settler violence https://www.aa.com.tr/en/middle-east/breaking-with-un-security-council-peers-us-declines-to-condemn-israeli-settler-violence-in-west-bank/3773245#

You pay lies, I point them out. Again , no sympathy for 25,000 murdered kids. I have no desire to talk with you. <removed>

Why do you say this, there is no fact about Trump abusing minors. He should sue you.

Ignorant nonsense.

Guess he got a call from his biggest donor, Israeli Miriam Adelson. $400 million can get you many things.

No they didn't. Israeli lies.. The IDF killed many. I believe the no if civilians was around 810. Don't be so gullible. Why do you think guys in paragliders were able to enter Israel whereas hundreds of cruise missiles and ballistic missiles were blocked, and the IDF didn't respond for many hours? 9 major lies Israel promoted after October 7 https://www.trtworld.com/article/1eb43ff64136

Seems to make no difference to you- no words of sorrow or condemnation.

An IDF terrorist calls Muslim baby killers, when 3 kids under 3 years old were in fact killed. Israeli propaganda said 40 babies were beheaded, which has been proven false. There is also proof of rape. @IDFHero do you think Jews' lives are more important that Muslim lives? Tragically, the total number of infants who lost their lives(killed by IDF heroes) before reaching their first birthday has now exceeded 800. https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/over-800-infants-killed-killed-israel-gaza-reaching-their-first-birthday

At least one Palestinian child has been killed every hour on average by Israeli forces in Gaza over nearly 23 months of war, with the number of children killed now surpassing 20,000, Save the Children said. https://www.savethechildren.net/news/gaza-20000-children-killed-23-months-war-more-one-child-killed-every-hour IDF heroes? https://www.aljazeera.com/video/newsfeed/2025/11/13/israeli-soldiers-accused-of-rape-are-seeking-public-sympathy#flips-6385047141112:0

Thanks for replying. I know this issue is a thorn in the side of those who proclaim that Israel can do no wrong, which may explain some of the discomfort around engaging with it. Firstly, and it really does jump out at me, you say you do not support Weiss, Smotrich, or Ben Gvir, yet you choose to display the Israeli flag as your avatar. You cannot easily separate this symbol from the reality it now represents. These figures are not fringe anomalies; they sit at the heart of the current Israeli government, shape policy, and articulate ideas that enjoy significant public support. They reflect a broader political and social shift within Israel, not an aberration detached from it. To fly the flag while disavowing the people who currently govern in its name is, at the very least, a contradiction. I sincerely hope you can see this. There really is no “complexity” here in legal terms, whatever political narratives are layered on top of it. Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank are illegal under international law. This is not a debatable or marginal position - it is the settled view of the UN Security Council, the International Court of Justice, the vast majority of international legal scholars, and every government in the world except Israel and, intermittently, the United States. Article 49(6) of the Fourth Geneva Convention explicitly prohibits an occupying power from transferring its civilian population into occupied territory. The West Bank is occupied territory. The settlements violate that prohibition. Full stop. Security is not a legal defence. Occupation law exists precisely to restrain “security-based” land grabs. If security concerns justified permanent civilian settlement on occupied land, the entire framework of international humanitarian law would collapse. States could simply occupy, settle, and annex any territory by asserting fear. That is why the argument fails legally and morally. Nor does historical land purchase prior to 1948 provide a defence. Even if individual Jews owned land before the war - and many claims are disputed or exaggerated - that does not entitle a modern state to occupy territory militarily, displace the current population, impose a separate legal system, and implant hundreds of thousands of its citizens across the territory. Property claims do not override the prohibition on annexation or settlement, and they certainly do not justify collective punishment, expropriation, home demolitions, or forced displacement. The selective invocation of history is also telling. If pre-1948 land ownership justified settlement, then Palestinians expelled in 1948 would have an even stronger legal and moral claim to return to their homes inside Israel. That claim is categorically rejected by Israel. You cannot apply history in one direction only. The idea that “some settlements are justified and some aren’t” is a political convenience, not a legal principle. There is no category of “legal settlements” in occupied territory. Outposts, blocs, hilltop farms, ideological settlements, or so-called security settlements all rest on the same unlawful foundation. They fragment Palestinian land, make a viable Palestinian state impossible, and entrench a system of permanent domination. Finally, citing the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs to justify settlements is circular reasoning. A state accused of violating international law does not get to be the final arbiter of that law. Israel’s legal arguments have been repeatedly rejected by independent international bodies. Repeating them does not make them stronger. What is happening in the West Bank is not defensive necessity. It is systematic land theft backed by military force, aimed at permanent control of territory while denying political rights to the population living there. That is not complicated. It is aggression, and it is illegal.

Palestinians in Gaza struggled to recover Tuesday from torrential rains that battered the enclave for days, flooding camps for the displaced, collapsing buildings already badly damaged in the two-year war and leaving at least 12 dead, including a two-week-old baby. https://apnews.com/article/israel-hamas-gaza-war-news-16-12-2025-32f41cd1cbc8e144ec6bd9cb02cf49b2

What is funny about British Muslims? I went to school in South London with many of them, they are as British as you or I.

Zelensky is corrupt as hell. He can stop the war, just give Russia some land. I wish my country would do as Trump has realised, and let Ukraine fight it's own selfish battles. There's genocide ongoing in Gaza, the EU are not sending military aid to Palestinians, which they should.

The problem here is that Israel's plan is to ban all criticism of their continued Genocide, saying it's antisemitic, which it obviously isn't. Lest not forget. Stop antisemitism but not criticism of the terrorist state of Israel,and those that support it. The ceasefire risks creating a dangerous illusion that life in Gaza is returning to normal. But while Israeli authorities and forces have reduced the scale of their attacks and allowed limited amounts of humanitarian aid into Gaza, the world must not be fooled. Israel’s genocide is not over Agnès Callamard, Secretary General of Amnesty International

Please don't use the death of these Australians to spread your hate of British Muslims. Yes, Australia’s government describes its multicultural society as a national strength and a central part of its identity.

I agree there is no defence and suspect that's why @Evil Penevil, a prolific Israel supporter doesn't comment.
