AIBU to think Labour are worsening tensions at home and abroad?

Not content with making us enemy No.1 with Russia, pissing off the USA, rising tensions with Argentina … they’ve now managed to make an enemy of Isreal too.

Dont even get me started on the hostility rising within our own country!

WTF are Labour playing at??

Palestinians are not Hamas. What an outright abhorrent thing to say.

So what nationality are members of Hamas? Where are Hamas based? What government do Hamas control?

Correct. If you're approaching the situation via recent years, I'm not surprised you've been fooled.

The footage the world is seeing of settler violence and atrocities is not propaganda.

A majority voted for Hamas in the most recent elections.

I’m glad of the sanctions today, the illegal settlements are disgraceful and the treatment of the Palestinians in the West Bank and in Gaza is absolutely unacceptable, I for one am glad that we are making a small stand. They have been ethnically cleansing the Palestinians and it can’t go on. Im also glad we aren’t appeasing Russia or the USA, both need to be held accountable.

How is that even relevant? Believing what is happening in Palestine is terrorism doesn’t = supporting Hamas. What a stupid thing to think!

You misunderstand. I asked pp 'what are your thoughts on Hamas?'. Note I didn't ask you but you're welcome to answer, as long as you actually answer the question asked rather than write incoherent nonsense.

They have no idea of of how the land evolved, so you've got no chance of expecting condemnation for the 7th.

So the settler actions are justified then you mean?

Were the Palestinians actions on 7th October legal?

Yabu, all four countries you cited are examples of malign governments. None of them should be appeased.

Palomiino · 08/09/2026 20:54

YABU to think that any party would handle it differently.

Its completely standard to impose sanctions where a state breaches international law. Settlements in the West Bank are illegal.

Were the Palestinians actions on 7th October legal?

Lonelycrab · 08/09/2026 20:53

Sit and do nothing then….?

How very convenient for the illegal expansion by the Israeli govt into the West BankHmm

Don’t be ridiculous. What is happening in Palestine is nothing short of terrorism and it’s despicable. Nobody should be ignoring it.

They are making a hash of international relationships. It’s like they’re trying to alienate our allies and that makes us vulnerable. I feel at the moment the only people they want to encourage is the Muslim world .
