And heres me thinking a government is supposed to take care of the entire population ?
Not just the 9.6 million who voted for you, oh well the other 60 million can go take a hike I suppose ? 

I suggest a lie down to appease that thought?

Unfortunately when you get up we will still be where we are? 

Suffering from years of useless, uncaring politicians?

It's funny that the last message Starmer sent to Israel was to say its perfectly fine to switch the water and electricity off in Gaza 😆

Let's be perfectly honest, Labour don't care about Palestinians or Jews, they care about they're UK Muslim voter base, and this is just one example of them pandering to it, it's the labour way of doing things.

Potentially you could be right, although I think that's likely true of more than a few Mps. 

On the wider issue I'm devided, on one hand, Hamas need dealing with, but on the other, there are innocent civilians, many of which women and children being slaughtered on mass and that's simply not right. 

In short, I don't know what the answer is. War is hell unfortunately.

The answer is that Hamas should never have poked the bear with a stick back in October 2023.

And then used their own people as a human shield.  This is a huge war crime that the antisemite lovies seem to be ignoring.

Absolutely agreed, I've seen the footage from the terrorist attack. Young girls slaughtered, but that's not childrens fault being blown up in Gaza. War is never black and white.

Was not the growing existence of illegal settlements on the West Bank not a bit of a provocation  ? Albeit not a justification for killing anyone over it.

Yes. An illegal settler can kill a Palestinian on the West Bank and not be prosecuted. The settlement's in the West Bank are illegal. The Palestinians need a way out they need a chance of a future.
