How does a Palestinian state make my life better. How is this going lower my energy bills, give my children a safe place to grow up etc. just pandering to a certain group because they are afraid of losing votes. What a shower of shit we have as an alternative. As Matt & Trey once said “it’s the choice between a douche and a turd sandwich. “
A bit of a turn around from before:
>In the early days of the conflict in Gaza, Starmer was keen not to stray far from the support to Israel being shown by the British government and the US. That position caused fury on the Labour left, especially when he told an interviewer that **he thought Israel had the right to cut off water and power supplies to citizens in Gaza.**
I don’t have a good feeling about Starmer as a person, he certainly doesn’t come across as a strong individual and I worry where his moral compass lies. It’s just a shame that Labour are currently the only viable non-Conservative party.
What’s the fuck that got do with anything here
Except appeasement of a certain group
All the years of effectively ignoring Israel’s behaviour in the West Bank doesn’t really point to this being a genuine goal, just more words for demographics because the PR team runs the government not the MP’s.
I have three outs that would need to happen if I were to have Britain recognise Palestine
Out with Hamas
Out with Netanyahu (already in progress in the knesset)
Out with Mahmoud Abbas (said jews were killed because of there social role, believes there descendents of khazars, trained by Hitler enthusiast and Farhud orchestrator Amin Al-hussainy)
It’s about time we did something about the brutal colonial occupying apartheid state of Israel, can’t keep defending indiscriminate murder of civilians. Then you have the ICC and ICJ cases that we need to uphold to at least show we still care about international order and rules.
It would be nice to be a county that speaks out against genocide, war crimes, illegal settlements and displacements.
Most people in the uk don’t care about if Palestine is a state or not…
Joke politics, that are deflecting from the serious issue with Russia and Ukraine…
This year could be the year nato goes to war. We won’t be going to war over Isreal or Palestine.
Spineless labour just want the Muslim vote rather than sensible foreign policy
I think a secular one state solution is the only viable option, for the Palestinians. A two state solution helps Israel and will make it even easier for them to be heavy handed. A one state solution means that they’re forced to live in relative peace.
