Biographies of 2 banned Israeli politicians

[Howdiditcome]

I have recently spoken to a friend who has become convinced Israel is waging a just war against the animals of Hamas.

What my friend is overlooking is that collective punishment is against the UK legal and moral code. In other words, you cannot legally and morally punished some people who happen to be neighbours of the people who had committed crimes.

In the meantime, the Guardian published short biographies of the 2 politicians banned by the UK Government, the link is below

The Guardian is the only major UK newspaper which is not owned by a white rich man

The Guardian was founded by twelve white men who made their money in the slave trade and still funded by their ill gotten gains.

Thank you for your reply.

Just to put things in perspective, Oxford, Cambridge, the Imperial College, the London Stock Exchange, the Bank of England and even the Royal Family all have links to the slave trade

It's onwned by Scott Trust?

Would you be interested in reading the report about the Scott Trust link to slavery, their public apology and the amends they made?

Tbh I wasn't even talking about slavery, it was more about "only major newspapers not owned by white rich man"

Apologies, I thought I was replying to the previous poster. Here is some info on the Guardian's ownership

Israel wants war because it wants to draw in the united states for a broader wider conflict that will allow Israel to gain significant territory in that region.

Don't be fooled into thinking this is about protecting Israel....this is purely about power and territory.

Remember war is a business for the United States....it might be in there interests for a broader middle eastern conflict especially if it draws in countries like ours being forced into spending 5% of GDP on arms which will likely be from America.
