@mhdksafa Mohamad, you are clearly a man of integrity. It is sad to read you feel unprotected. Your volunteer work is admirable.
In Gaza, I, and I expect many others , are asking questions about whether the UN could and should have done more to prevent /limit this humanitarian disaster .
@PickardJE The situation in Gaza is deeply distressing. I entirely understand that citizens in any country want freedom. What I haven't seen is a large portion of those people advocating freedom for Palestinians, calling for freedom from Hamas who have been oppressing the civilians in Gaza
@AussieOracle@AustralianJA Difficult to understand what made you post this hateful comment. Whatever happened to empathy and standing up against discrimination and intimidation of civilians regardless of their ethnicity? We need co-operation and peace not conflict between people.
@Mohsin__Jam @MeghanMcCain@visegrad24 It is deeply saddening to see the loss of life and suffering in the Gaza strip and Israel. What however is the best chance of freedom, peace and a better life for Palestinian civilians? What have Hamas ever done to improve life for civilians in the Gaza strip? Facts only please.
@Mohsin__Jam @MeghanMcCain@visegrad24 It is deeply saddening to see human suffering and loss of life in the Gaza strip and Israel. Views obviously differ, but what is the best guarantee of freedom and peace for Palestinians? What have Hamas done that has ever helped people in the Gaza strip? Facts only please.
@williamsmith_1@P24576512 Fascinating historical insights in this thread! Whatever the lineage of current Israelis and Palestinians and land borders the only way forward is peaceful co- operation for mutual benefit and improved living conditions. I can't see how this can be achieved with Hamas governing.
@antonioguterres the appalling loss of life , both in Israel perpetrated by Hamas brutal terrorists, and in Gaza, is horrific. Is a UN Peacekeeping force in Gaza, in conjunction with immediate release of all Israeli hostages, an option to have a ceasefire that has been actively considered?

I have included this link to Michael Gove's speech above.
As human beings we can only hope to minimise all casualties. Hamas' barbaric activities put lives of Palestinian civilians at risk.The Palestinian people deserve better leadership, free of Hamas.
@sorcercerjafar @BenKentish It's great that you attended today's rally which was about releasing hostages taken by Hamas, and marched yesterday in support of peace. I didn't however hear Michael Gove call for more bombing unless I misheard. It's very important to careful in the choice of our words.
@CSUnderstander@BenKentish Only my view of course, but the Palestinian people are also hostages to Hamas' hateful and oppressive ideology and activities. The Palestinian people deserve to be liberated from Hamas.
@BenKentish@BenKentish , I entirely agree with you. At this highly tense time in the conflict between Israel and Hamas, particularly those people with a high public profile should not be commenting before the facts are independently verified.
@BenKentish@BenKentish, I entirely agree with you. At this very sensitive time in the conflict between Israel and Hamas, particularly those people with a high public profile should not be commenting on very disturbing events before the facts are independently verified.
@WeBelieveIsrael At this time of heightened tension between Israel and Hamas, broadcasters must act responsibly before making comments and not jump to conclusions before the facts are independently verified. Misinformation is inflammatory and puts peoples' lives and safety at risk.
@Jackiew80333500 The facts about the responsibility for the tragedy of the hospital being bombed have not yet been independently established and the IDF has stated it is not responsible. In this highly tense situation, please do not comment until the facts are established.
@Jackiew80333500@JakeWSimons@Telegraph All human lives are important. Hamas is a terrorist organisation. For those people advocating for liberation for Palestinians, they should be advocating for liberation from Hamas whose toxic hateful ideology has hindered / suppressed peaceful development of the Palestinian people
@skjask The lives of Palestinians would be far better without Hamas. For all those who are advocating for liberation for Palestinians they should be advocating for liberation from Hamas
@NoahAbrahams_ Noah, I admire your principled stand. In the case of the BBC, labelling any organisation that has committed the most dreadful atrocities as a terrorist organisation is not compromising impartiality. It is simply stating that their activities are evil.
@emilykschrader A bad outcome for Israel which, to me, seems to be driven by retaining political power and protecting politicians, rather than doing the "right thing". Hopefully
the attempts to restrict the powers of the judiciary will ultimately be unsuccessful and rapidly overturned
