    Iron Dome, Roof Knocking, all are Israeli innovations. Warning of future combat grounds by leafletting puts their troops at risk.

    Oddly Zelensky does none of this and the US/UK/France etc didn't do much of it in the ME. Yet you don't lobby them - anti-Semite much?

    The Israelis could perfectly legitimately respond to any rocket fire with overwhelming return fire and be well within the Geneva Convention. They aren't the ones breaking international law.

    If you bother to read the history of the conflict the Israelis have shown massive restraint. The US would have bombed them back to the stone age years ago.

      Anyone pro Palestine without rejecting Hamas vehemently is effectively Pro Hamas. If you don't admire Israel's restraint and humanity then you are missing the point.

        Oh dear, you really have got the hots for the Israelies, haven't you?

        Btw, "In May, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said 14,000 Hamas fighters and 16,000 Palestinian civilians had been killed in the war". A little more than your "About 10,000" in fact 200% more.

                These days, you are antisemitic if you:
                • Criticise or question any actions of the Israeli State or armed forces
                • Express any concern over Palestinian casualties in Gaza
                Therefore, guilty as charged.

                  The issue is that antisemites hide behind "oh we're just criticising Israel/the IDF" and "oh we're just concern over civilian casualties".

                  It's always been that way.
                  It probably doesn't help that Israel is the only Jewish state.

                  I can criticise the actions of an Islamic country like Iran without being regarded with suspicion that I'm anti-Islam.

                      The Arabs hate Israel. They want the Jewish state gone.

                      Many have said they will move on other none believers next.
