I'm pretty sure that's the meanest way English folk are allowed to talk. Basically called him a corpsfucking $##%!^&#^%

Israel can do no wrong. Even when the last Palestinian child starves to death and Gaza is depopulated, there will be silence.

The sooner Netanyahu is dragged into court in The Hague the better.
The Gaza atrocities are bad enough, but let us not forget Lebanon and the West Bank.

Arrest and charge with conspiracy to ignore genocide.

Presumably they will turn up at a litter pick near you.

Over time any criticism of Israel has been framed as ‘Anti-semitism’. Whilst thats clearly not the case, the media are waiting to pounce on Starmer following Corbyn a few years ago. Criticising Israel’s policy is not criticising the religion any more than criticising Trump is anti-Christian.

The cowardice of political convenience is a real problem in a world faced with such ethically damaged governments.

Remember when David Lammy used to get angry at the refusal of the Tory Foreign Secretary to publish the legal advice to the Government on whether British weapons might be being used for war crimes? (See his own facebook post of 26 March 2024.) Well, he's gone very quiet about that now, hasn't he?

It doesn't suit this govt to admit they are supplying arms and intelligence in support of a genocide

This govt before they were in power were checked and approved of by US, super corps like Blackrock, their donors from Israel

The UK isn't run by the UK and our govt sold their souls

Starmer and Lammy are total disappointments. At least Boris was entertaining.

Starmer and Lammy’s collaboration with Zionist genocide is utterly unforgivable and they must stand trial at The Hague.
