    Where was this when they literally declared war and said “the enemy will pay an unprecedented price?” What did the Palestinian supporters think would happen exactly?

      One does not declare war on a military occupation. You are already at war. Israel has been the occupying power for the past 50 years.

          Gaza has been under blockade since 2006. If gaza was a state then they would have been at war since 2006 because a blockade is an act of war.

          Gaza is under Israeli control even though Israel does not have any soldiers there. Under the Geneva Conventions, Israel is the occupying power. This is recognised by most governments in the world, the UN and all human rights organisations.

          It has been economically blockaded since then and has been regularly attacked by Israel.

      Why do you need to protest Hamas’ actions when you know they don’t have the ability to attain it? Even now we see them being bombed constantly by Israel in retaliation. Do you think protesting Hamas in London would achieve anything better than what Israel can already dish out?

      On the other hand, nobody is doing enough to stop the genocide Israel is performing on Palenstine’s civilians, so which one of these two issues do you think a protest in another country is more likely to affect?

      They sat at home and rooted for Hamas of course. That’s why there are never any protests against Hamas - who have supposedly taken the people of Gaza hostage and launch attacks at Israel that the civilians don’t agree with.

        If the civilians don’t agree with it, why is it okay for Israel to kill them by the thousands?

        If you have to lie to yourself to believe something, you’re not going down a good path.

        Hamas isn’t committing genocidal actions against Palestinians. Also they’re a far right group, what do you think happens to outspoken critics of them?
