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

[SweetAudry]

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??

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.

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.

A majority voted for Hamas in the most recent elections.

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

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

Shame you're not seeing what happened 6000 years ago.

Hamas don't control the West Bank. The Palestinian Authority does. So Hamas is irrelevant here.

@hattie43

Do you follow the news at all?

1.Russia has NEVER been an ally. The West tried not to piss them off too much after Crimea was taken from Ukraine in 2014. Did it help? Like hell it did. Russia read it as a green light to take the rest of Ukraine. Shall we just let them crack on instead? What next? A NATO country?

2.USA. It has been Trump who has been pissing off the allies, not the other way around.
Buddying up with Putin and doing 180% turn on Ukraine.
Threatening to take Greenland from Denmark, a NATO country.
Starting tariff war with Canada, another ally.
Trying to bully his allies to join the pointless war in Iran. According to Pentagon there have been 808 American casualties, including 18 killed. Would you like to send British soldiers to the same fate? Would you send your children to fight there?

3.The relations with the sane NATO allies have been going from strength to strength under the Labour. Have you ever heard about the Coalition of the Willing for example? UK have been meeting regularly with France, Germany, Spain, Canada. They even managed to establish very good working relations with Meloni. She used to be Trump fan but not anymore.

4.It’s high time someone stood up to Netanyahu. Glad that our government has the guts to join other decent countries condemning his policies in the West Bank.

You really believe they are distinct from one another!

What are your thoughts on Hamas?

That they're murderous bastards.

Which doesn't serve as an excuse for the IDF to massacre civilians.

Wow so events that happened 6000 years ago negate atrocities happening now. Just no.

Exactly this! 👏🏿

And what year were the "most recent elections '?

When you know the history and not just a selective recent part, you won't be so gullible.

Annoyed with myself for entering into this shit that belongs in the echo chamber of the CITME board.

I was just thinking the same.

Totally agree.

I understood the question perfectly well. I simply chose to address the insinuation behind it rather than play along with it. I have nothing further to add.

Wow so we just turn a blind eye to atrocities now do we because of history- no!

Many many people in this country have been appalled by Israel’s actions for some time,don’t want to touch anything from Israel and are relieved that finally a government has the balls to stand up to them.

It’s called doing the right thing.

I must say I am surprised.

Not really.

Bit harsh as a third of the people that attacked on 7 October were Palestinian, according to Hamas

Is that you Kemi?

Strange then how many of their Muslim brethren are doing just that....... Wasn't it good of Egypt and Jordan to open their borders to Palestinian refugees from Gaza. Oh wait, they didn't? Why was that?

Because they don't agree with enabling Israel with ethnic cleansing and both countries already have a sizeable refugee population from Gaza that they cannot afford to support.

We’re talking about atrocities that Israel is carrying out not refugees. We absolutely shouldn’t be supporting them in any way.
