In reply to Michael Gordon:
The level of ignorance displayed in your synopsis is astounding and deeply patronising to both Palestinians and Israelis. "Two groups" not "two seperate [sic] nations"...?!?! We should talk about what is going on precisely because so many people have such a loose grasp of the situation.
As for "hijacking", what I've written is directly relevant to the coverage of Ukraine by UKC and the solidarity it has explicitly extended to Ukrainians.
I did start another thread about an upcoming climbing event in solidarity with Palestinians, called Climb the Wall, but it was moved to the Politics forum - which is a dungeon of right-wing cranks and the extremely ignorant, which no one in their right mind would want to spend time perusing.
Anyway, I'm out. I'm just disappointed that we know there is a Palestinian climbing community who are facing escalating oppression in the West Bank, whilst a genocide occurs in Gaza, and UKC hasn't written a word now it is politically inconvenient, despite being happy to run articles about this community previously.
