One that put a bit more value on the lives of the innocent people living in Gaza. It looks to me like Israel are just dishing out collective punishment as revenge more than trying to destroy specific Hamas targets.

You can't compare a world war with how a country deals with a terrorist group within it's own population. No-one is on the side of Hamas here, the more innocent Palestinians die the more hatred for Israel builds up amongst the Palestinians and their Arab neighbours - it just makes things like the Oct 7 massacre more likely in the future.

Yeah, just not on the side of murdering 2,500 kids.

It’s not a fucking football match, you can be on the side of innocent people wether they live in Israel or the Gaza Strip. What Hamas did was awful but so is what Israel is doing now, 5000 dead supposedly about half of that figure is kids.

It's impossible to be completely impartial but the BBC is as close as you will get in today's media.

Same could be said of those who scream anti-semitism when one criticises Israel. They are making the same association between the country and the race.

Maybe it is good because of how it is financed?

It is great value for money, especially if paying it pisses off wankers like you.

Because they have been bombing the shit out of Gaza all week and have previously hit other hospitals and ambulances? Getting to the truth with these sort of things during wartime is always going to be hard, it’s not hard to see why assumptions were made tho. Hopefully some independent experts can come to some conclusions.

I think you would expect opinions to have changed somewhat since then.

They don't need to do that, they can just turns whole neighbourhoods into rubble with their bombs.

I expect there's plenty in Israel who feel the same way about the Palestinians.

Like The IRA?

Except killing thousands of innocent people and flattening a whole city is just going to create more future jihadis, and more support for the jihadis cause from surrounding countries. Making a future attack much more likely.

Israel claiming it was a miss-fired rocket from Islamic Jihad. Hmmm I'm not sure. Do Islamic Jihad even have rockets with that sort of capability? The rockets they shoot off look like the ones that can be launched from the back of a 4x4, I've seen videos of them landing and they don't look like the type that could do that sort of damage. When was the last time one landed in Israel and killed anywhere near 500?

It's not justification, it's just a fact. You can't just ignore the fact that the Palestinians have been living under a blockade by people who stole their land, for over 15 years.

The difference is our government doesn’t openly support Assad or Putin. If we align ourselves with Israel’s war crimes it makes events like 7/7 way more likely to happen in the future.

Write a letter to the FA if you have issues with it then

Maybe they have. Not sure they had when Wembley was lit up at the start of the invasion. Anyway it's a call the FA has to make and it's obvious (well for some of us anyway) why they have chosen to be neutral in this case. Lighting up No10 just after the massacre was fair enough, lighting up Wembley whilst Israel are murdering innocent kids in their hundreds would not be a great idea IMO.

The sad thing is that if they were not they probably will be now.

Who are committing war crimes?

Why the FA are choosing not to light Wembley up in the colours of a country currently committing war crimes. Do keep up.

Nope, that's all obvious as well. It's poor old Turkish who's having problems understanding.

It's not obvious that Palestine/Arabs with friends or relatives in Gaza might not like Wembley lit up in the colours of the country killing Palestinians? Is that not obvious?
