I saw on the news that the families were protesting outside Netanyahu’s house and the way the Israeli police were pushing a couple of them about was shocking. Proved my point.

As Hadley Freeman states in the article: And an adding a 'yes, but... ' does rather negate the point of condemning appalling behaviour. I think if posters of dead Palestinians went up they would also probably get torn down by pro Israelis. Just now, harvey19 said: Proved my point.

I gave you a reason why the Israeli victims were not on the news and it also said that Israel was keeping the victim’s family members silenced by not giving them publicity so that the general Israeli public is not swayed to turn against the govt that’s why they we’re protesting outside Netanyahu’s house. This was on al jazeera so that may be the reason Edited November 5, 2023 by mafya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If posters of Palestinian victims of Israel’s bombing victims were put up around the Golders Green area of London or the Jewish area of Manchester what do you think the reaction/assumption would be?

Would that be the same BBC that refused to call those Palestinians who are butchering folk, terrorists? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
