Strongly believe that if everyone gave a little more, took a little less & put their egos aside...this world would be a much better place for all.

Do you want him to do it before or after the part of 75 years of occupation, oppression and apartheid? And 16 years of complete blockade of Gaza?

@OmarBaddar
Nonsense rhetoric Zionists resort to. Israel is the strongest military power in the world. It has been ethnically cleansing Palestine of its people since 48.
war crimes of Israel are well documented & you r obviously part of propaganda machine so no point wasting time educating u

Israel is not “hitting back”. It is committing war crimes that you are enabling. You need to be taken to the ICC along with them for abetting a genocide

Population of Palestine was 1.4 mn in 1948 . 700k was the the number of Palestinians that fled from their homes as Israeli forces made their way through the country massacring one village after the other. That said, what Paul was sharing that is being questioned by his followers

@paulg
Around 200 Palestinian minors are held in Israeli jails… some as young as 11 .
And 2.2 million Gazans are basically held hostage in Gaza by Israel.

What Gaza grim looks like:
Body parts all over the city
People dead and some alive still under the rubble
The city smells of death
We have now crossed the 10k mark
Hospitals out of anesthetic and fuel
Babies in incubators and people on life support reliant on what little

Gazans - the most resilient people with a level of faith, conviction, generosity & sense of community that makes them able to survive the unimaginable.
Put 2.2 million together in prison for 16 yrs & they will forge unbreakable ties.
So much the world can learn from
@paulg
And so is the right to defend one’s country from an occupying force only seen as, not only a right, but the honourable thing if it’s a fellow European country? What implication will this have on how Palestinians defending their country are perceived?

This is not a “conflict”. There is an oppressed and an oppressed. There is an occupier and an occupied. There is an apartheid system enforced by Israel on the rightful owners of the land
Jordan lost one of its most special ppl today. The MENA entrepreneurship ecosystem lost one of its biggest supporters &many of us in this space have lost our biggest cheerleader

She was born in Yaffa. Passed away last year in Beirut at the age of 90. Thanks to Alzheimer’s she spent the last few years of her life thinking she was back in Yaffa. She was the kindest most loving soul.

You are missing a none of the above option. All part of a plan put in place years ago to ethnically cleanse the Palestinians from their land. This started all the way in 1948 and continues to this day.

Before Israel occupied Palestine and my grandparents were forced to flee Yaffa by boat to Beirut my Palestinian grandmother had Palestinian Jewish neighbors and everyone got on just fine. If we were allowed to live in our own country, Areil’s mother and sister would be more
How to waste a panel speaking opportunty; ignore questions & turn it into pure sales pitch of your organization.
Focus instead on demonstrating a real understanding of the market gap/ problem u are trying 2 solve, your value system...audience will b more inspired to engage with u

Any plans to feed the Palestinians that Israel has bombarding for 2 weeks now , driving out of their homes and not allowing aid into the prison they control ?

Who is still buying the self defence nonsense. Time to repackage it .
And you haven’t given a second thought to the British citizens in Gaza. They will come out and tell their story of how the British government completely neglected them … and then sue you
@piersmorgan
Piers i just responded to another post of yours applauding that you posted something that makes sense. Now we are back to this… you can demand your condemnation… but do not refer to what Israel is doing as a “response”. The world did not start on Oct 7

’s government is truly being entrepreneurial & agile in handling the
#Covid_19
outbreak. They are piloting their preventative measures quickly, testing and tweaking the approach based on findings with such speed and efficiency in mobilizing key players, it’s commendable.
Communication is key in days like these. Don’t leave the people hanging, it just fans the flames.
From what we’ve seen so far, you’d think the government doesn’t have economic or communications advisors
