        I’m not maintaining neutrality. I’m on the side that will condemn both Israel and Hamas for their shitty behavior. Don’t do terrorism, don’t do genocide.

        You and I both know that neither side is acting ethically nor morally. My government’s (and probably your’s) aligment with Israel is about power, politics, and economics, not ethics.

          Only one side has committee genocide and terrorism for the past 80ish years. Wanna know who it is?

        If you are neutral then you are in a position to help the injured and unfortunate on both side of the conflict.

        Hamas are using the innocents of Palestine as human shields after basically declaring all out war.

          Israel are using Hamas as a reason to “cleanse” Gaza, while silently terrorise West Bank behind everyone’s back, creeping toward complete control. If Hamas is worst than ISIS, Netanyahu’s and his circus of friends is Nazi. They oppress and control their neighbour country like no other proper country ever do. They shoot their target without regard of their own citizen’s safety, and bomb the enemy without regard of the hostage safety. In their effort to fight off their enemy they have killed more than 7,000 people of another country with more to come, displaced more than 2,000,000 people, and condemn them to a bleakest future you can never imagined where only hatred grow. Hamas is the direct result of the decades of harm Israel caused toward Palestinian, that sheer hatred they have kept and build up for decades of oppression has now exploded, killing 1,400 innocent people.

          Using “hUmAN sHiELd” really shows that you’re really into Netanyahu’s lies. Your hatred toward Hamas is no different than the hatred Hamas has toward the Israeli, and it will continue it vicious cycle.

    I was there. The organisers think it’s more like 500k people. There is going to be an even bigger demo on the 11th of November, try to make it if you can.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Tens of thousands marched through central London yesterday to demand a ceasefire in Gaza with many also expressing fury at the UK government’s refusal to back one.

    As Israel ratcheted up its offensive in the coastal strip 2,200 miles away, around 100,000 people attended the latest demonstration – matching last Saturday’s record turnout for a pro-Palestinian march in the UK.

    One difference seemed to be a palpably more tense mood than previous marches, reflecting events unfolding in Gaza and widespread exasperation over the government’s approach to the three-week-old conflict.

    (tldr: 3 sentences skipped)

    His wife, Nadia, also 56, was preoccupied with a topic that had seemingly angered many on the march: the decision of the UK to abstain on voting for Friday’s UN resolution urging an immediate “humanitarian truce” in Gaza.

    (tldr: 3 sentences skipped)

    Among the vast crowd, holding aloft a large Palestinian flag, Londoner Saad Mia, 47, maintained hope that another high turnout could influence the government.

    (tldr: 12 sentences skipped)

    The home secretary, Suella Braverman, has urged police chiefs to consider interpreting the chant as an “expression of a violent desire to see Israel erased from the world”.

    (tldr: 5 sentences skipped)
