    I've never backed him about Zionists being responsible for all the world's problems. That's just a lazy accusation. What I do remember him saying was that there is an element in Israeli politics that is inspired by extremist Frankist ideology and I agreed with him that when you look at people who are openly calling for Palestinians to be wiped off the map, and have a Govt that is indiscriminately killing tens of thousands of innocent people, then it looks a lot like a a blood lust

    This same group also assisted Ukranians, I've just pulled out some paragraphs from the link on how his treatment will be paid for...

    His arrival follows months of work by a group of volunteer medical professionals who came together in November 2023 to set up Project Pure Hope, which helps injured and sick Gazan children get to the UK for treatment. It is funded by private donations.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvgn6979n59o

    He is the first Gazan child to arrive in the UK for treatment for war injuries

    Majd's medical team – all working for free – will include craniofacial, plastic and orthodontic surgeons, with hospital bills paid for by private donations.

    Hoping that Steve Witkoff can accelerate moving things forward towards a ceasefire. He seems to be one of the more level headed pragmatic people involved in all of this. He's due to visit GHF sites today, so he will see with his own eyes what Palestinian people are being subjected to.

    US President Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff will visit food distribution sites in Gaza run by the controversial US and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) where hundreds of Palestinians have died in recent weeks trying to get food.

    According to the UN human rights office, at least 859 people have been killed in the vicinity of the GHF sites since the GHF began operating in late May. The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) said: “Most of these killings were committed by the Israeli military.”

    Witkoff arrived in Israel on Thursday with Netanyahu’s government facing mounting international pressure.

    He met with prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu yesterday to discuss the humanitarian situation and a possible ceasefire, AP reports.

    Following the meeting, a senior Israeli official said an understanding between Israel and the US was emerging that there was a need to move from a plan to release some of the hostages to a plan to release all the hostages, disarm Hamas militants, and demilitarise the Gaza Strip, according to Reuters.

    Good to see this happening (Don't tell sucky though)

    I was reading this story last night and that lad was very lucky not to have his whole face blown off. I'm glad that the UK is involved in helping these kids and giving them some hope for the future.

    If we’re not paying for it I’m not arsed as long as he and his 78 family members aren’t then granted asylum. Good luck to the kid.

    One well placed nuke would sort it all out. No more Israel, no more Palestine, no more problem.
    A fair and even handed solution.

    Yeah I purposely focused on how the treatment was being paid for, who the group had helped previously, and took any references to the conflict out of the narrative. I was sceptical at first seeing it last night on tv, thinking why are we focusing on what I saw as kids requiring cosmetic surgery - thought process being there must be more urgent cases, but then I read the story and stfu lol...I still think there must be way more urgent cases, but who am I to judge, and no offence meant towards the kid.

    Well there is this <laugh>

    I’d prefer a blanket news ban on everything Israel and Palestine. Then everyone can shut the **** up about it and we can go back to living in ignorant bliss.

    You’re lucky Abe is gone so his posts can’t be pulled up as easy. You definitely sympathised with his anti-Jew/Israel stance, no less than your sympathies towards Hamas.

    Anyway, I’m done with this. My heart can’t take this anymore. Jewish people are still people who deserve to be treated as fairly as everyone else on this ****ed up planet of ours.

    Please don’t reply, you have me in floods of tears with your lack of empathy.

    Whatever mate. I've never posted anything anti Jew and I never would. My issue is with this Israeli Govt and I've made that clear throughout

    But whatever, I can't change what you think.

    I don't share your views and I know where I'm coming from on this, which is all that counts tbh.

    I asked you not to reply but there you go again showing your lack of empathy and ‘me me me’ attitude. I doubt you’ve ever considered anybody else’s feelings a single time in your life.


    Hope you have a nice day on planet Pinkie.

    Abe, lol, he saw lizard people everywhere, he's probably still waiting for everyone who had a vax shot to get sick.

    So it's okay for you to accuse me of ****, but it's not okay for me to respond

    I'm done with this ****.

    First para spot on - everything I've read about recognition from France the UK and Canada stipulates that Hamas is completely excluded from 'future state' ...

    Yep, that’s rightly part of the conditions that Hamas have nothing to do with a Palestinian state.

    There’s should be no place for anybody in this process who doesn’t want peace.
