So if the West Bank problem was solved, Hamas would give up?

Hamas had a war with Fatah to control Gaza.

You really think Hamas would relinquish their control of Gaza, lay down arms, because Fatah or another Palestinian political group managed to broker peace in the West Bank?

The issue is quite simple, and not linked, how do you stop Hamas killing people.


Not what I said. But if there was no constant oppression and annexation of people's homes and land, there would, over time, be far less support and far less recruitment for the likes of Hamas.

It is odd how people can defend the pogrom of October 7th. It is possible to justify an invasion, which always results in the loss of innocent life. But I've never heard a racist killing spree defended before. This is what is shocking.


Seeing what has led to it is not the same as defending it....can you see that?

Okay so we aren’t actively targeting civilians via proxies we control like Iran then. Thanks

I’ve been consistent in criticising the UK stance, but to suggest we are in a proxy conflict just doesn’t stand up. We literally have no control over Israeli defence policy, neither does the US as they are now finding out. Iran has a lot of influence over Hezbollah and other factions int he region.

The question about arming Israel is a difficult one, they are surrounded by hostile states with larger militaries. Countries that openly call for the destruction of Israel and have of course attacked it in the past. If they did not have access to advanced weaponry they could face an existential threat not seen since the holocaust. But how do you then ensure they aren’t used immorally against civilians? That’s the catch 22 the West faces.

Maybe we and the US shouldn't sell them weapons then.

Is that all weapons, or should Israel be left to defend itself by purchasing solely from Russia?

Some of the missiles, components, and a significant portion of military aid supplied to Israel from the US is for the Iron Dome. Should Israeli civilians be left unprotected against incoming rockets and mortars?

I find it strange (and disappointing) that whilst the US is at least trying to get Israel to have a humanitarian ceasefire, UK politicians are still reluctant to do the same.

A pause for humanitarian aid and evacuate innocent Palestinian civilians but no ceasefire or negotiations with Hamas.

Why not? This is why not.

Telling language.

As is the way in which pro palestinian marches are being labelled "hate" marches. Its about othering and demonising an ethnic group. We are rightly troubled by anti semitism. Perhaps its time more people were troubled by this stuff too.

I understood it to be the words of a child talking about them watching another child raped to death, so didn't focus on that, just felt sick.

Banksy has just read first hand testimony from a traumatised young girl who witnessed the gang rape of another young girl who is then shot in the head mid rape, had one of her breasts cut off, which the terrorists proceed to play with and then goes on to describe how decapitated heads were carried like trophies. And Banksy's first thought is to take issue with her describing the people who committed these atrocities as "Palestinians"?

This may comes as a great shock to him but the official description of Hamas is a Palestinian Sunni Islamist political and military organization governing the Gaza Strip of the Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories.

I actually scanned through it and hadn't appreciated it was a direct quote from the child.
It is somewhat unfortunate though to interchange Hamas and Palestinians as being the same thing so I still believe greater discretion should have been used in the reporting as it serves to dehumanise all Palestinians.

Edit. As I pointed out weeks ago the exact words used in reporting are more important now than ever. The word "they" could easily have been used instead without diminishing the impact.

I feel sick too now.

Things I guess we ought to know but wish we didn’t. Maybe warnings could be put on verbal descriptions as well as visual.

Incidentally, the David Baddiel documentary ‘Jews Don’t Count’ is listed as being shown tonight on C4.
