More killing of Palestinians on the West Bank by the Israeli military just recently. Again. I know because I saw it on ABC TV news. I’m sick of all and sundry supporting Israel to carry out this persecution of Palestinians.
Yes, Hamas is the military wing of Palestine, I don’t agree with either sides’ aggression and killing of each other. Peace.
I was on a vigil in Byron Bay one year and a couple of Israelis (male/female) were saying and asking why we were flying the terrorist flag? It was the Palestinian flag. We tried to explain that we are a peace group and don’t support either side who perpetrate violence.
I don’t know if we convinced them. Young Israeli people have to do national service and learn how to kill, but of course that doesn’t make them killers. There is a peace movement in Israel of people who don’t agree with their regimes’ use of violence.
