      The UK is not supporting Hamas, so their is no point in protesting their support for Hamas. If you want to fly to Iran and protest their support of Hamas, that would make sense.

      “So what’s stopping Palestinians from putting pressure on them?”

      What would you do if you were the Palestinian in this question. seriously. Hamas is not held an election since 2006 what would you do to put pressure on Hamas while you lived in the Gaza strip?

      The answer to your question is lots of stuff is stopping the Palestinians from putting pressure on Hamas.

          All I see is “Free Palestine” signs, which is nothing more than an antisemitic dog whistle.

          How is that a dog whistle? Is Palestine not in need of being freed? Israel has been holding people in Gaza down for decades and treating them like they are sub-human. Calling out that behaviour as monstrous is not a “dog whistle”, it’s directly saying out loud what the problem is.

      You don’t like what Israel is doing, fine, what’s your alternative?

      To start with: not threatening to carpet bomb civilians just because they might get some members of Hamas as well. This one should be obvious.

        K, you pointed out a not, how about what you would do? Go and shake Hamas’ hand and thank the for all the children they’ve butchered? Hamas needs exterminated, and I don’t see a way to deal with them when they hide behind human shields like the shitstained cowards they are.

          Okay, so they bombed gaza. Is Hamas gone now? Problem solved? No? Just dead civilians and further recruitment for Hamas? Damn, if only that was in any way predictable…
