Pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli crowds rally across world on eve of Oct 7 anniversary

Lovely people…

people mad that Israel is crushing terrorists... Maybe stop supporting terrorism and be happy Hamas and Hezbollah are finally getting what they deserve.

More than 40,000 killed. 15,000 Hamas. More than 14,000 children have reportedly been killed.  At least 128 journalists and media workers were among the more than 42,000 killed since the war began, making it the deadliest period for journalists since CPJ began gathering data in 1992.

Palestinian Arabs are not interested in building a state, one for those Arabs, but are interested in destroying a state, Israel,

The planet is dying and yet most of mankind seems to be focused on arming itself to the teeth with the latest destructive weapons and engaging in perpetual wars.

Has the world gone mad? Why would anyone be protesting for the terrorists that started this conflict? Israel will prevail.

Occupation and Apartheid have NO PLACE in this world, Israel should be expelled from the U.N.

""Has the world gone mad? Why would anyone be protesting for the terrorists that started this conflict? Israel will prevail.""

Israel is the Terrorist that started this conflict back in 1948, what we have been watching for the past 75 years are the results of Israel and it's Allies INJUSTICE towards the Palestinian People.

Yes seeing all the different elements there like supporters of Hezbollah which is Iran's proxy and Hamas where 'street justice' in Gaza involved public hangings and mutilations as well as the usual fundamentalist religious repression that Gazan children among the population witnessed just shows why this whole conflict is ongoing.

There is no future for a Palestinian state that demands Israel won't exist from the river to the sea and that is pushed by abusive regimes like Iran's and hostile states, most of them failing the democracy and human rights tests in daily life. No wonder big players like the USA keep backing Israel.

Unbelievable that people would support terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah. I guess most of those marching despise democracy, are misogynists and homophobic - like everyone in those Arab terror groups.

Israel is the Terrorist that started this conflict back in 1948

The history of the Jewish people date farther back than 1948. The Jewish people are indigenous to the Levant. That they have been persecuted and driven from their lands...long before 1948 doesn't change that fact. Islam expanded through brutal conquest which included driving the Hebrews from their ancestral lands.

people mad that Israel is crushing terrorists...

No. People are mad that the IDF is killing civilians.

People would have no problem, if only terrorists being killed.

What do you think the odds are that Netanyahu learned his lesson, and won't attack Iran for the THIRD time?

What do you think the odds are that the media will correctly call Netanyahu's third attack just that, an ATTACK?

What do you think the odds are that the media will correctly call Iran's third response just that, a RESPONSE?

What do you think the odds are that Iran's response will be merely another demonstration that they can hit Netanyahu's militants on their basis not just once, but again and again as often as they choose?

What do you think the odds are that despite the warning not to, America will try and shield Netanyahu's militants and fail?

Hint, vanishingly small is the answer.

Getter, according to the Torah, the Jewish people are NOT indigenous to the Levant, they arrived there and then embarked on a genocide against the indigenous population.

So, what 'history' are you referring to?

PS, archeological genetics (like archeological astromony, which you can learn about through 'Mystery of Oak Island' along with archeological dendrinomony, and archeological metallurgy) places the descendants of those that survived that ancient genocide amongst the population of one of the countries Netanyahu has bombed in the past week.

Palestinian Arabs have lived on the land for 2,500 years. Longer than the Americans on theirs.

People are mad that the IDF is killing civilians.

People would have no problem, if only terrorists being killed.

I agree. The IDF's response has been excessive and cruel. That said, "only killing terrorists" is impossible when terrorists are so deeply embedded in the general population and when they operate in tunnels beneath hospitals, schools and residential areas...intentionally. It's also an issue when their leaders enrich themselves with billions in aid money meant for the general population thereby keeping that population in poverty and misery while mewling about "occupation". Gaza could be a prosperous, desirable place in which to live if the money sent to support it from Europe, America...and Israel alone were used for what it was meant for...rather than builing tunnels, weapons and lining the pockets of a few grifting Tyrants.

Palestinian Arabs have lived on the land for 2,500 years.

Hebrew artifacts discovered in the Levant date back to 10 Century BCE. The Hebrew people are the ancenstral precursors of the Jewish people today. That they were driven out of their lands does not preclude that fact.

I do not disagree but the fact Palestinians have lived there for 2,500 years makes it their land too.

This history

Scholars date tiny 'curse tablet,' found at Mt. Ebal, to 1200 BCE

 King Nebuchadnezzar II sent all the Jews into exile and destroyed the sacred First Temple in Jerusalem.

Supporting Fascist Israel prior to 7/10 was morally wrong and still support fascist Israel today is morally wrong.

I do not disagree but the fact Palestinians have lived there for 2,500 years makes it their land too.

No, which is why there is a country called Israel, and another country called Jordan for the Palestinian Arabs.

Palestinian Arabs have lived on the land for 2,500 years. Longer than the Americans on theirs.

Wrong. Americans have been in their land at least 15,000 years.

I knew how to spell the words "Iran" "Israel" "Middle East" before I could speak.

My father probably had the same experience, growing up hearing these words.

This is not going to end, never.

Type 0 civilization forever.

Longer than the Americans on theirs.

Americans have been in the Americas over 10,000 yrs with cave paintings discovered that are tested to be 15,000 yrs old. Today we call this group "Native Americans" or "Indigenous people", though they came from Asia too.

Now, if you want to complain about European and Asian "migrants" who came much later, that's fine.

This current war would never have started if Gaza Hamas didn't invade, kill more than 1600 people and take over 240 hostages. All that Hamas needs to do for this to end is stop fighting. That's it.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

Palestinian Arabs are not interested in building a state, one for those Arabs, but are interested in destroying a state, Israel,

United by hate. There is absolutely nothing else.

They even export their hate all the way to peaceful beautiful countries like the Maldives, Malaysia, etc. where Israelis are banned and you'll have a hard time entering their country if they find any israeli stamp in your passport.

By the way aren't these comments lovely? Like a micro cosmos of the clashes reported in this very article.

Envy angry barbarians try to scratch the giant with their tiny spears, giant stomps on the whole barbarian army, clueless outsiders call out the evil giant.

Mourn those who were tortured, raped, kidnapped and murdered. Don’t praise those responsible for it.

The Ripper!

Wrong. Americans have been in their land at least 15,000 years.

A map created in 1507 by Martin Waldseemüller was the first to depict this new continent with the name “America,” a Latinized version of “Amerigo.”

They were not called Americans.

It is not so hard to bring the hostages home. Make peace not war. The Israeli government seems to want war to continue. The major American political parties support war by providing weapons, munitions and billions of dollars to support war.

Peace is possible. But Israel does not want peace. Israel want to steal more of Palestine.

This did not start on Oct 7th. It started a long time ago.

The very existence of Hamas is a result, a consequence of Israeli action.

The sick level of violence and depravity on display in Israel a year ago has shaken the world to its core. Savages celebrating their death cult, bragging about it, completely devoid of basic human empathy or compassion. Old men gleefully talking on the phone to their mates that they too had captured a ‘good horse’, which was code for one of the poor young girls taken as hostage. Kids watching their grandparents slaughtered, while the ‘freedom fighters’ helped themselves to the food in the fridge. The music festival, the hero’s welcome they received when they brought the hostages back with them in their cars and on the motorbikes. And for good measure they decided to record themselves too. Almost too grim to be real.

If that was not enough we have seen a global movement form in support of the perpetrators. Globalize the intifada! Of course it was the left that fell straight into line, no surprises there, they donned their masks and now fashionable keffiyehs and went to work becoming useful idiots for the terrorists propaganda machine. Bored people that wanted a cause. Revolutionary zeal and protests. Chants, lots of noise. We have also seen some straight up denial, the twisting of the narrative to make Israel the bad guys, the downplaying of the true goals and desires of the jihadists, it’s been a big old mess of low resolution virtue signaling, bannerisms and screaming matches that lead us absolutely no where. Day in day out. Israel bad.

Lost a bit of my faith in humanity this year. God speed to the IDF now facing down Hezbullah and Iran and what seems to be much of the Muslim world. The hatred has penetrated the soul of an entire region and beyond. What happened to the religion of peace?

RIP to all of the victims of this horrible war. The fight for the soul of the world. Never forget the events of October 7th. It was cold, calculated, and deliberate. They got to enjoy themselves in a manner that suited their murderous mindset and characters. Then scurried off to play the victim.

The dark arts, from dark lost souls.

One of the most disturbing, daunting facts is a ever growing number of UK 18/24 are reportedly supporting Hamas, ignoring the bile associated with fundamentalist extreme terrorism.

Some openly antisemitic towards Jewish students at Colleges and Universities.

@Fighto!

Unbelievable that people would support terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah. I guess most of those marching despise democracy, are misogynists and homophobic - like everyone in those Arab terror groups.

No. This is the logical fallacy that many pro-Israel activists commit. And many intentionally.

Nobody is pro-Hamas, or pro-Hezbollah. They aren't even anti-Israel. They are anti-Netanyahu. And being anti-Netanyahu does not make one antisemite. That is the other lie the Zionists are trying to spread.

Occupation? Israel hadn't set foot in Gaza for years.

israel still controlled everything that went in or out of Gaza. israel still regularly "mowed the lawn" in Gaza, bombing and killing Gazans.

How did Hamas respond to peace?

Hamas responded om Oct 7 to try to get back some of the many 1000s of Palestinians held as hostages by israel, including many women and children.

Hostages and prisoners are two distinctive things. Prisoners have been incarcerated because they've committed crimes. Hostages are taken for leverage and ransom.

Not true. Egypt shares a border with Gaza...Israel is not in control of its border
