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??

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 .

You can't be serious?

The Muslim Brotherhood are rubbing their hands with glee.

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

Mikiband is a fucking embarrassment. What hold has he got over the Labour Party?

No he isn’t. We should have stood up to Israel a long time ago.

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

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

Sit and do nothing then….?

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

CoventryCity · 08/09/2026 20:54

Shatenoeuf · 08/09/2026 18:11

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?

Palomiino · 08/09/2026 20:54

YABU to think that any party would handle it differently.

Firetreev · 08/09/2026 20:54

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

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