@LorriArazi @SFGate How dare they disrespect your liberty? They're fascists! They disrespect all liberties. Look at how the Iranian people suffer under their fundamentalist fascist dictators.

If anyone has the answer to this question let me know!

@GaryLineker I guess he feels he is too important to be challenged. If anyone fails to condemn the cold blooded atrocities that went on for hour after hour on Oct 7th, their moral code is already in the gutter and whatever they say after that lapse is coloured by that basic failure.

No concidence that the term 'genocide' trips so easily off the lips of supporters of those planning a 2nd Holocaust. All part of Iran's demonising strategy. More fool you @garylineker for falling for it. Even Hamas numbers show there is no genocide. bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-…

Worth 13 minutes of anyone’s time.

@T8U13 @IsraelMFA @UN @LynnHastings Where are you getting your figures from?!

The atrocities committed by Hamas will not be tolerated. Israel's ambassador to Japan, Mr Cohen: "We will never tolerate acts of ethnic extermination." Israel must also not commit acts of ethnic extermination. The Israeli Prime Minister bombed the southern part of the country where the population was displaced, after saying 'move to the south'. Israeli forces bombed a UNRWA school with displaced people and also killed a UN official. Stop bombing civilians. The death toll in the south is 65% of the total. Isn't it strange that you tell people to flee to the south, yet the death toll in the south is so high? The number of the death toll in Gaza is rising than the Israeli death toll. It is a massacre. No matter how much Israel has suffered massacres, you think it's OK for you to do the same? Have you not heard of the laws of war? Ignore them?　Are you self-centred? We Japanese know what is happening in Gaza. I am not anti-Zionist.

Meet @UN employee @LynnHastings, the Deputy Special Coordinator, Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator. According to UN ethics, she is supposed to be impartial and objective, but unfortunately she is neither. Hastings' dangerous rhetoric endangers innocent Israeli and Palestinian civilians.

Common sense that puts our own bleeding heartless liberals to shame. If we don't stand up to terror when we see it, and say we have to root out beheaders of babies and rapers of women, then we will be next.

@andrewlownie They are trying to ensure Hamas can never do this again neither to Palestinians under whose hospitals it stores rockets, nor to Israelis where it beheads babies. If we don't grasp this nettle now, however unpleasant, we will never stop their atrocities.

Where is the international community during this humanitarian crisis?

@IainLew42742698 @churchill_alex And what did your wife say please Ian. I know all the words except Sachoir/Sachent :-)

@churchill_alex Had to ask my wife, my Allo,Allo French doesn’t help !

Posted with no sub context whatsoever - Just think this sentiment looks great written out in French! 🇫🇷

@AwaisKhanAuthor I know exactly what you mean Awais. I've spent much of the past two terrible weeks taking refuge in my study...

Whenever I feel unsure about the world, I take refuge in my study... at least until things start to make sense again 😕

@ToryFibs @BBCMaryam Glad to hear that many of the demonstrators are not backing Hamas. The Palestinians need a state but Hamas is keeping them far from achieving that. Moderates from both sides need to get together and sort out how to live side by side. Hamas is a disaster for Palestine

BBC Journalist who read the teleprompter that labelled every UK pro-Palestinian marcher as a supporter of a banned organisation in the UK now apologises. The editor should resign.

Protests at the BBC last night. Apparently 1 reason the BBC won't call out the murder and mutilation and kidnapping of innocents including children and babies is because their reporters might then be attacked. So, it won't call them terrorists... because they are terrorists!

@militaryhistori It's been years since I've seen it but it is one of the most emotional moments in TV history. Its available to watch on youtube. It should also inspire people to help others in a similar situation and Im thinking of those Ukrainian kids kidnapped to Russia too.

In the new biopic, One Life, Anthony Hopkins stars as Nicholas Winton, the humanitarian who saved hundreds of Jewish children in his kindertransports just before #WW2. Who remembers that famous moment on That's Life, when Esther Rantzen revealed his role?

@SethAGinger @hzomlot @KayBurley @SkyNews This is what democracy looks like - views across the spectrum without fear of being shot. The Palestinians needs the same if we're to get to a solution that will give them a state

The full interview with @KayBurley at @SkyNews so my words are not distorted again. #Jenin #Jenin_Camp #Palestine

@CurlyClareToo @hzomlot @KayBurley @SkyNews Are you talking about the attack in Tel Aviv? The solution is simple enough: The Palestinians who have lost so much can only offer Israel security so they should do that. Israel can then offer land. Gaza would be a great place to start.

@hzomlot @KayBurley @SkyNews In a different context, what would the response be to an interviewee whose children had been killed and terrified by a gang who’d broken into their home and vandalised it, to be told sympathy only lay with the gang whose parents had lost their homes and been traumatised too?

@carljfree @hzomlot @KayBurley @SkyNews Hmm not really equivalent though? Ukraine was a peaceful neighbour invaded without cause. In 1948 the Arabs invaded Israel not the other way around. The Arabs owned the West Bank and Gaza from 1948-1967 and if they had set up a Palestinian State, there would be one today.

@hzomlot @KayBurley @SkyNews A masterclass in keeping cool. I thought the analogy of how the interview would have gone had it been the Ukrainian Ambassador was an excellent strategy. Because it is spot on. Ukrainian resistance is applauded. At the very least Palestinian resistance should be understood.

What a buzz. It's a great book!
