If you listen to the leaders' of certain countries they are telling us that a ceasefire will allow terrorists to regroup/restock etc. to grow bigger, perhaps expand and become more dangerous to the West

What is more dangerous is taking a ruthless genocidal policy. Last time that happened it eventually united the rest of the world against it. What is more dangerous,

A few hundred or thousand really bad people running off, or half a world divided?

As Lev posted above, these conflicts/wars do nothing to stop terrorism.

Exactly!

They have the opposite effect!

How many more enemies Israel now has after killings thousands of innocent civilians. Not to mention the risk of escalation into a wider conflict.

The various demonstrations around the world at least show people are still sane. How many more are silent and don't want to express their views so not to be called Nazi sympathisers and the rest of these labels...

Now that Egypt is taking in numerous wounded Palestinians, watch all hell break loose.

We are not asking for permission and the police won't have any say in the matter

I didnt realise that the English defence league had so many members ?

FAFO

etc, etc

The only sensible solution imo, is for Hamas to stand down and let the interests of the Palestinians get some proper representation and help from the ....GCC, for instance. Something like the Iraq model, but better. With a functioning world GOV, this would be 100% feasible, but the institutions are so messed up, they are unable to conduct any helpful campaigns, at all.

In reality though, are the Islamist fighters suddenly going to lay down their arms and learn to code?

Nationalist fascist Community known as EDL
I was being sarcastic about the nymbers i was heavily implying This was a far right organised march that will not live up to the claimed numbers.
In all honesty if it its the far right the police will shut it down.

That's at least a very positive development given that many of Palestinians have nowhere to go and they need to move in the middle of a continuous bombing campaign and destruction of their land and property.

Unlike the traditional far right, the EDL mostly just hates on Muslims. It started as a backlash against all the muslim grooming gangs going unpunished by woke police. We have a strange situation these days when some of the far right groups are siding with Israel purely because thye hate the Muslims more than the jews.

100,000. Not half a million. You have been corrected on this over and over.
Your thread title and source got the information wrong.

London: Half a million march in pro-Palestine protest

There are millions of people around the world who ate against the war and against war crimes committed in the name of self defense and freedom.

a reply to: FlyersFan

One of the main reasons they marched was the war crimes that have been committed against innocent civilians.

Such as this one

Damning evidence of war crimes as Israeli attacks wipe out entire families in Gaza

As Israeli forces continue to intensify their cataclysmic assault on the occupied Gaza Strip, Amnesty International has documented unlawful Israeli attacks, including indiscriminate attacks, which caused mass civilian casualties and must be investigated as war crimes.

Right here is an independant estimate, not the hideously biased one you just posted.

No. It's the HEADCOUNT. It has been posted several times.
100,000. Not half a million.
If you actually read what people posted, you would know that.

The one I have above is also independent and not biased as you claimed.

That's what YOU do.
Your 'OPINION' based on 'SOME SOURCE' you found online.
A source that has since been debunked.

No I don't think so. You're going with a much lower estimate because it suits your bias.

You can even go with this

The largest anti-war demonstration in Britain since 2003, when over a million protested the illegal invasion of Iraq, saw 300,000 people march and rally in London Saturday against Israel’s war on Gaza.

It's also left wing like the Guardian in the above post.
