Me neither. 🇮🇱

Thank you for starting the thread, just re-reading accounts of that day had me in tears today.The pic of the Mother and two tiny tots with ginger hair that were killed as hostages, and all those families in the kibbutzim and lovely young people at the music concert.😢

I have a huge amount of respect for the tiny country of Israel and its people.
It’s the only democracy in the Middle East, surrounded as it is by all the. ‘H’ terrorists all of whom wish them harm.

Imagine how Jewish here people must feel today, especially those who maybe have had to pass these dreadful demonstrations.

I think the lack of traffic on this thread is rather telling…

I find anything to do with Jewish people doesn’t get a good response in numbers of posts, unless it’s to condemn anything to do with Israel.
I don’t know why I bother sometimes.

One of our closest couple friends are Jewish, they have lived their lives differently thee last three years

Candles lit 🤷‍♀️🕯️

I remember Noah (think that’s her name) - lovely young girl. I worried so much about her - however, I read later that she was unharmed and alive. I guess they had other evil plans for her.

I haven't forgotten that terrible day. My thoughts are with that families of those who were slaughtered by the evil Hamas.

* the families*

One look at the vacuous faces of those anti Israeli people marching today says it all. They have no idea what they are supporting and how disgusting Hamas are.

You have to be very careful with your posts, (not yours specifically), those marching for Gaza and not all haters if Usrael nor do the support Hamas.

As stated earlier, I utterly condemn the actions re murder, torture , assault, kidnaps of any and all terrorists. However, I can understand the feeling of some “freedom fighters” “terrorist”, I can understand their cause, I utterly condemn their actions.

I do think the march should have been postponed.

Sorry about the appalling typing, hoping you can decipher.

I as a Christian, support Jews here in Britain.

Nothing excuses October 7th 2023.

And I refuse to drink the coolade as regards H**as.

As is usual some people, often the loudest, haven't a clue what people in thus country actually think.

I shouldn't engage with the above nonsense on a thread like this. Sorry FGT.

This thread is in memoriam for those murdered, raped and abused by Hamas on 7th October Samwam why not start a thread of your own with your above post as opposed to verbally desecrating this one ✡️🕯️

Well said, Grannygravy13.

….and there are only so many apologists for hamas that a person can stomach.

Very interesting, I popped over. To Mumsnet to see if there were any posts re 7/10/23.
I found one, it was posted early afternoon and has zero responses.

I’ve just come back from a funeral so late to the thread.
I absolutely agree with Fgt.
it was such an horrific day, my heart bled for those poor Jewish people.
Those young girls & woman raped & tortured.
Scenes of that young girl paraded around in the back of that vehicle, whipped with sticks by ordinary Palestinians. Just barbaric.
How can they get to run around waving those Palestinian flags, whilst we can’t wave ours, even for football.

Interestingly, there were Palestinian flags adorning just about every lamp post in Tower Hamlets but the Met said they wouldn’t get involved….they got very involved and busy taking down a few posters supporting the Israeli hostages.

Let us all remember those who were butchered by Hamas. What Hamas did was unbelievably horrific. But what's far worse - nice, educated people, people you meet in everyday life, people who should know better - actually supporting them. It's like living with Zombies. Where on earth is this country headed?

Hamas did this at the Bataclan in Paris and the Manchester Area too.

Beyond horrific.

Completely agree.

Much as I abhor Hamas, I don't think that Hamas were involved with the atrocities against the Bataclan and the Manchester Arena?

I understand that the attack on the Bataclan was carried out by people acting for ISIS, and the attack on the Manchester Arena was carried out by Salman Abedi, aided by his brother Hasham Abedi. The official Manchester Arena Inquiry concluded that the attack was inspired by the Islamic State, not Hamas.

That’s paper posters btw

Just lit a candle and put it at the window in a glass jar.
🇮🇱 so many of us are with you tonight. xx
