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 10,565 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 Old Crem 3,388 Posted May 20 The ICC has basically made Bibi more secure domestically and nailed down his Biden and Sunak support further. 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 20,228 Posted Thursday at 17:42 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
