The situation is dreadful and won’t be help by this government agreeing to a Palestinian State. Are you not disgusted with the dreadful evil terrorists that is Hamas.

If Israeli's were allowed to live in peace then this war would not have happened.
Dont forget it was Hamas that started it.
I know it has gone too far now though & poor innocent people are dying because the cowardly Islamists hide amongst them. Hamas dont wear Uniforms and fight on battlefields do they?
They hide amongst the people for safety & its the poor people who are dying.

To give an informed response it would help me to know the exact context of your post!

Well Mac C basically refusing to allow food in and trying to starve the Palestinian people until they are no longer able to resist the take over of their land which was the intention from day one!!
Also to allow small amounts of food in then killing the people trying to get to it!! I am fully aware of the horrendous act by Hamas but the IDF have now killed well over 50000.

Thanks Colin.
I agree that starvation in time of war is awful. But it was a tactic of both sides during WW2 and indeed WW1.
My perspective is that the aid that currently reaches Gaza is still being hi-jacked probably by Hamas or if not by the "clans" and the "strongest" leaving the women and children to starve.
I think that if Hamas released the hostages (did you see that fellow in the tunnel digging his own grave??) and relinquished their quest to obliterate the Jewish people we could see a road to peace.
We can only hope.

I Wrote this poem published in
August 2019
History will prove who’s right or wrong

Intervention

Discount the stories glibly told
Their goal is always land or gold
Coveted by some crackpot despot
Believing they can hit the jackpot
Obtained by bullets, bombs or rockets
Mayhem unleashed to line their pockets

Silver tongues and golden promises
Lead the gullible astray
White the innocent and helpless
Are the victims left to pay
Beware all those who sow division
Profit is their main ambition

Us 'ordinary people' can visit any other country in the world and meet their 'ordinary people' and we all get on well and can't do enough helping each other.
This proves that all the World's troubles are caused by Governments fighting Governments but then its the 'ordinary people' who have to fight and die because of them.

Sorry, I to have to disagree with you Colin, as has been said if Hamas released the remaining hostages, agreed to get round a negotiating table, gave up their weapons, agreed to let Israel live in peace, then maybe Gaza can get back to some semblance of order.

I agree with Mac C and others the aid being delivered is being high jacked by Hamas and others, I agree some of the pictures coming out of Gaza are not nice, but I have to say the majority of photos of the adults seem to show them as being quite well fed, why can’t they feed their children before feeding themselves.

Hopefully a solution will be found soon but I am not holding my breath.
