  • “We have already been breaking our own laws, and international laws, in terms of providing arms exports for exporting weapons and components to Israel.”
    The government should stop selling arms to Israel and doing so would be “more than just symbolism”, says former brigadier John Deverell.

    Thank-you John Deverell, we either stand by our principles or abandon them completely.
    I for one appreciate those of us who attempt to stand by our principles & expect our allies to do the same.
    Otherwise we as a society wouldn't have a leg to stand on.

    How can anyone make an argument about the civilian deaths in Gaza when literally no one knows what the civilian deaths are? Hamas makes zero distinction between a 6 month old infant and a 20 year old with a machine gun.

    • @007EnglishAcademy
      @007EnglishAcademy Місяць тому +9

      Well, let me explain. Bodies are counted. The total of dead bodies is the total number of people killed. That is the number that it is quoted. Aid agencies and the UN and journalists do not count those missing crushed under all the rubble - those dead are an unknown quantity. If you need more help ask an adult.

    • @timonsolus
      @timonsolus Місяць тому +1

      The argument is that the vast majority of deaths in Gaza are civilians.
      Why? Because the Hamas fighters use deep tunnels and vast underground bunker complexes to shelter from Israeli bombing, and Palestinian civilians are denied access to those tunnels and bunkers.
      (Hamas built miles of tunnels and dozens of bunkers, but not a single air raid shelter for civilians.)

    • @adamredwine774
      @adamredwine774 Місяць тому

      @@007EnglishAcademyYour statement is false. It is not true to say that “bodies are counted.” After a Palestinian Islamic Jihad rocket fell in the parking lot of a hospital, Hamas claimed within 30 minutes that Israel had bombed the hospital killing 500. When a more accurate assessment was made, it turned out that Gazan terrorists had killed only 50 Gazans. How do those 30,000+ figures account for this? Do they not include any because Gazans did the killing? Do they include the 50 that actually died? Do they include the 500 that Hamas claims?

    • @johnsheehan7770

    You cannot call urself occupied when u constantly refuse peace. The Palestinians refused the peace proposals offered in 1947, 1956, 1967, 1974, 1979, 1995, 2000, 2008, and 2014. Instead, they chose to attack Israel time after time so what is Israel supposed to do? And even if you think all those proposals were unfair - then where is the Palestinians' proposal? I've never seen it.
    And in this current war, how many of the casualties are terrorists? What is the usual ratio of terrorists-civilians casualties in wars with similar properties? (dense cities, terrorists hiding among innocent civilians, hospitals, schools etc).

    Europe understands that continuing to arm this conflict will and taking the consequences to the logical conclusion, it cannot afford to take millions of Israeli refugees.
