I assume the complete thundercunt named Robinsforever has had their account deleted, as their posts quoted on here and football threads are no longer accessible. I can't believe anyone is still saying they are an ally of Israel. As for news outlets, don't believe them if you think it is all Hamas-influenced propaganda ... but to ignore the cripplingly agonising pleas and first-hand testimony of Tom Fletcher (UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Relief) when he asks the UN General Assembly "ARE we doing 'all that we can'?" is ignorance in the extreme.

horrific images and there's far far worse on social media

hopefully now the penny has dropped with France, Canada and us other countries will follow suit and some serious pressure will be applied

Of course saying it's wrong while not halting arms sales undermines the message
It's not like they didn't know already but the Overton window has slid along a bit hasn't it.🤔

Couple of days before the statement from the government read an article that there was an expectation more pressure would be applied to Israel. Not because Netanyahu has an arrest warrant out for war crimes, not because of the number of deaths, not because of the daily footage of children and babies being starved or burnt alive. Because it was becoming an issue in polling.

They're also privatised aid. The only aid being allowed is operated by private US contractors using goods purchased from Israeli companies.

Other aid organisations have queues of trucks waiting at the border but aren't being allowed in.
The aid setup is a separate conversation, but what is the possible justification for tanks opening fire on crowds of people queuing up for food aid? Was there a Hamas commander hiding in the line? Did it help to free a hostage?
