So Gaza's power plant has run out of fuel and there's now no mains electricity. Added to that Israel have cut off food, water and goods during the siege. ~2.5m people in Gaza. Collective punishment is a war crime, isn't it? Funny how there's no outrage in the media.
Calling it "Israel's 9/11" is so telling, especially as 9/11 was in retaliation to the creation of Israel. They're going to use this to do some horrendous things.
Truth is we have no idea what happens on the ground but Israel are far from the good guys and it's hard to have any sympathy. If you live in or visit a country like that, you're showing support and take that risk.
I have yet to see a single good guy in any part of this whole thing.

I think this is a great interview which sums it up well.
You Dutch now too ffs?
Tory Starmer was pretty much agreeing with Israel’s stance as well on the Radio earlier. Vile cunt
Was just about to post the LBC tweet on that. Basically he’s covering his arse because anything else will see him labelled an anti-Semite by the right wing press. They won’t let facts like his Jewish wife get in the way, they did a good hit job on Bernie Sanders for the same thing (an actual Jew).
Didn't get his knob chopped though did he the bigot.
It's mad how the Israeli press seems to be more nuanced on this than the British press.
The language talking of beasts, or people in inhuman terms, of wiping out Hamas, all has very strange echos from the past woven through it.
Wouldn't have heard such from a previous generation. Bibi doesn't know he's born.

Quick reminder that in his embarrassing pre-Euro 2020 'Dear England' letter, Gareth Southgate said the following:The Football Association is unlikely to light the Wembley arch in the colours of the Israel flag because of fears of a backlash from some communities... Some in attendance told FA senior executives that lighting the arch could be divisive. It is understood senior officials are wary of a perception that they might be taking sides in the Middle East conflict.
I have never believed that we should just stick to football.
I know my voice carries weight, not because of who I am but because of the position that I hold. At home, I’m below the kids and the dogs in the pecking order but publicly I am the England men’s football team manager. I have a responsibility to the wider community to use my voice, and so do the players.
It's their duty to continue to interact with the public on matters such as equality, inclusivity and racial injustice, while using the power of their voices to help put debates on the table, raise awareness and educate.
Social media has been a key resource in giving our players a platform and has been a positive tool in so many ways. In fact, I feel like this generation of England players is closer to the supporters than they have been for decades. Despite the polarisation we see in society, these lads are on the same wavelength as you on many issues.
He's in good company.

Who could have predicted that
He managed to write three books in that time? George Martin should have hired him to finish off ASOIAF.
I think that's to identify the dead Brits etc.
Keir Starmer and Emily Thornberry have truly outdone themselves in recent days with their comments.
Thornberry really excelled on Newsnight last night when having given her "Israel has the right to defend itself" line for the umpteenth time in response to questioning as to whether clear breaches of the Geneva Convention relating to 'siege of Gaza' were war crimes she blurted out "well, it is an answer to the question" when pushed that it really wasn't. She might have well have said "73", or "a crocodile", after all, those are also answers, even if they make no sense in relation to the question.
As much as Emily Thornberry is an awful hag, I don't know what she or any Labour spokesman is supposed to say. If one is trying to be a statesman, then slating the elected government of a fellow democracy is a lot harder than is slating a bunch of gunmen from Hamas. That's just the reality of it, whether one has a favourite side in the conflict (hers will be Palestine) or not.
It's much easier to run your mouth if you're not trying to be elected and govern an entire people, all of whom disagree on the matter.

A minute's silence for "innocent victims of the events in Israel and Palestine" is about right but banning Palestinian flags from the England games can go down as yet another hilarious result of the West's actions.
We can all ban flags we don't like to make ourselves feel better about things.
Yeah, it's a no win situation, but as a human rights lawyer she should probably be less equivocal on the standing and importance of international norms relating to her field.
Biden's comments about Israel and the US being unified by a respect of international laws et al the other day was also pretty funny. Erm, mate, not sure you're country actually accepts that it's bound by any international laws.
I know it's bad, and you shouldn't laugh, but I always find stories like this quite amusing:
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-ne...-world-record/
In the Hannibal Lector "God's terrific. He dropped a church roof on thirty-four of his worshippers last Wednesday night in Texas while they sang a hymn" canon of comedic divine intervention.
Save for the poor Sherpas who have to go down with these dicks, that's always a shame.

All her exes dodged a bullet.
If she finally meets someone who wants to marry her, does she have to divorce herself?
I'm all for single power, but that whole story is just a parable about women's unhealthy relationship with weddings. They need to break out of this obsession if the patriarchy is finally to be defeated.
Let's be honest in real terms not a single voter really gives a fuck about either party's view on the Gaza situation as long as they trot out the same safe soundbites, and any questioning on the matter is just journalists getting a semi at thought of tripping one up. North West Tonight had some minor councillor on TV answering questions about it infront of a rabbi last night, poor fucker.
Perhaps the most baffling thing about that story (which is saying something) is that, during the course of the day, 80 people apparently accepted her invitation to attend that nonsense.
Exactly. All Labour are doing here is not giving the media a headline that could torpedo them (eg. Corbyn and Salisbury). Behind closed doors they probably think different but that's irrelevant here.
This is absolutely stupid. Pro-Israel Indian nationalists at it again.
Why would you get involved? We have enough problems here with London's Muslims putting the fad into intifada.
I might be assuming the worst. It could easily be to evacuate everyone in Gaza to Dover.
Might get a couple of long-distance runners out of it. Both called Mo Farah.
If this government manages to rapidly deport people for being anti-Israel after thirteen years of failure to deport foreign criminals I will readily believe every anti-Semitic conspiracy going.
Hate to see a young bright BLM journalist ruin his own career before it's begun with this kind of disgraceful disregard for the narrative.
Some of the interviews (from both sides) coming out of this are absoutley mind boggling.
Israel MFA taking propaganda to new heights.
The most harrowing thing on that front page is the price.
The enabling of Israeli war crimes is absolutely shameful.
As someone with zero interest in politics/the news, when is this Israel stuff likely to stop being so prominent over here?
Sick of seeing ‘I stand with whoever’ on my instagram stories, from people who couldn’t even point at Israel on a map.
I'm a twit
No time soon if the navy are deploying.
Baz, please, stick to Celebrity Cooking on Ice discussion outside of here.
Oh poor you and your social media experience.
