I doubt it, the Tories don't have long in power and Labour, who are widely expected to gain power, won't want to withdraw without causing huge uproar amongst their own base among many others. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Tories still have six months and Labour won’t want to seen as supporting the arrest of the leader of Israel. Keir Starmer doesn’t seem to mind if he gets backbench and ordinary party members complaints. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your optimism is touching - the reality is a bunch of power hungry youngsters (y'know, aged around 65) would grab the jobs and morph into the monsters who'd just died, and they'd throw a fuck-tonne of their GDPs at a cure for that virus! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,966 Posted May 20 I am so exhausted with this whole Israel-Palestine situation. It's been a problem for my whole life and I just cannot care anymore. It just divides everybody, it hurts Biden in Michigan, it causes a split in Ben Shapiro's Daily Wire, students are clashing over it, and have been clashing over it since before I was a student. If I was a politician, I'd probably just let them, i.e. Israel and Palestine, battle it out on their own. Don't ask me about this issue - I won't say a single word. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The ICC hasn't done anything yet. An application has been made and it will be argued and decided in some weeks. Sheesh (again). 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could you stop running apologia for a genocidal far-right nation-state? It ceased to be funny a few months ago. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,033 Posted July 25 Bibi goes to Washington. Meantime, while he's away on his holidays, Israelis are pulling the dead bodies of Israeli hostages from Gaza. Still he has never owned the failure to protect on October 7th. On the list of things that I will not miss is Benjamin... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, one of the most prominent Israeli poets, Jonathan Geffen, has uttered in the past that "the wrong brother was killed." 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,438 Posted July 29 Sorry but I can't resist the obvious answer... 1 minute ago, The Old Crem said: My dad predicts Israel will nuke Lebanon soon. Is he correct or not? Absolutely correct. An Israeli patriot would obviously nuke a country where Jerusalem would be in the direct fall out zone of the Israeli bomb attack. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ObakeFilter 894 Posted July 29 Just now, The Old Crem said: My dad predicts Israel will nuke Lebanon soon. Is he correct or not? Israel is not in a state where it could launch a full scale attack anytime soon, let alone nuking Lebanon. Right now we have hundreds of government-affiliated thugs rioting and breaking into an army base where detained soldiers who abused and (allegedly) raped Palestinian abductees are being held and it's going on for a few hours now. This place is fucked. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
