I keep hoping for Starmer to condemn Israel's genocide. Not going to happen is it?

He has obviously got his priorities right.
Keep the missus and family happy and sod the political aspects because plenty of others will worry about that ---or not, in my case.

Can't condemn what's not happening, even a numpty like Starmer gets that much.

The scale of anti-Judaism was off the charts.

When did the PA become the Jews' lap dogs and what's in it for them?

" the ongoing siege of the Jenin refugee camp by PA security forces, which has now lasted for 28 days."

It does make you wonder what's going on in a supposed 'refugee camp' that has caused the PA security forces to lay siege to it for 28 days. Can't be anything to do with Hamas and Islamic Jihad can it ? Surely not.

I would imagine they saw the destruction of Hamas and Hezbollah by the IDF, plus the fall of the Assad regime in Syria, and given the imminent swearing in of Mr Trump as President of the USA, decided that being Iran's lapdog was not such a good idea after all.

The US killing machine goes again.

“American and Israeli media report that the United States is set to arm Israel once more. Details are currently being finalised regarding a deal for the provision of missiles and aerial bombs. It is emphasised that both President Biden and President Trump share a similar approach to continued cooperation with Israel.”

CNN, citing an "official and another source familiar with the matter," reports that the State Department has informally notified Congress about the planned sale of ?6.5 billion worth of weapons to Israel.

All to kill another 45000 defenceless women and kids in Gaza. It’s horrific.

I believe there is a new Tech device included in the $8 billion deal that will convert all the old, outdated missiles in Israel's armoury, plus all the basic stuff they've captured off Hamas and Hezbollah, into state of the art guided missiles, and at no great cost. An absolute game changer.

What worries me is that your game changer will be used solely on women and kids, because surely after dropping more ordnance on Gaza than we managed to do on Germany in the whole of WW2 there can't be any freedom fighters left. Hospitals and refugee camps is all that's left now. Netanyahu will obliterate them too#

If, as you say, there are no freedom fighters left, then the women and children must be a legitimate target because rockets etc are still targeting Israel and, in the absence of freedom fighters, it must be the women and children who are firing them.
Hamas really started something and they won't stop until they have had enough.

I read this morning the Israeli government have just released a load of funds for their media to deny genocide.

But the hate will continue because both sets of eejits are carrying on a millennium of hatred about a medieval "Holy War".

That seems bizarre mon ami, does it cost more for the media to deny genocide than it does to admit guilt ?

Here you are,

Israel guilty of genocide in Gaza.
Israel not guilty of genocide in Gaza.

Both cost me the same.

Interesting that this war in Gaza has the lowest civilian/military casualty rate ever recorded in modern warfare, which is testament to the IDF's insistence on giving advance warning to civilians of any impending attacks or strikes and giving them time to evacuate the area.

It should also be noted that Israel did not start this war nor did they choose where it would be fought. That was down to Hamas, it was also a tactical and strategic decision of the Hamas leadership to use public buildings such as schools, hospitals, mosques and the homes of private individuals as military installations. It's been absolutely catastrophic for the very people they are charged with looking after and protecting, but at least it has allowed their useful idiots in the West to make themselves sound ridiculous with their constant whining about Genocide.

BT your friends did this? https://www.timesofisrael.com/bodies...-in-rafah-idf/
You support this lot?

The bodies of six hostages abducted alive by Hamas on October 7 were recovered from a tunnel in southern Gaza’s Rafah overnight, shortly after they were murdered by terrorists, the Israel Defense Forces announced Sunday. There must be so much hatred in these people ,these Palestinians! I think those people that support these Palestinians should really go and see a doctor!
