Yes, I agree - but conversely (and this isn’t whataboutery!) when you have a government committed to annexing more and more land into Israel, and in the past 10 years at least, having made repeated declarations to a Greater Israel, and when that is apparently evidenced by a tidal wave of settlements and Peace Plans that agree to further annexation of Palestinian territory … well it’s an impasse isn’t it?Don’t get me wrong, I find the actions of the Israeli Defence Force monstrous and the Israeli government is a far right group of twats led by a massive, bloodthirsty ****. But when you have Hamas saying “we’re going to just do it again and again” is it any wonder the Israelis aren’t exactly keen to stop?
That’s why I think we do need to be involved though - the stability of the ME depends on Israel and Hamas coming to a ceasefire as soon as possible. If people really are more concerned about themselves and their own lives in the UK, which I can understand completely then maybe have a think what the impact an escalation of this war, or the destruction of Gaza (made inhabitable) will have on global oil prices - one of the biggest hardships for the British people in the past 3 years has been the price of domestic fuel - largely due to the war in Ukraine - those conditions (sanctions and embargoes) still exist and will be made far worse if the Gazan war becomes a regional conflict. That in turn would push up food prices too, at a time when Ukraine’s grain exports are seriously diminished. Can the West risk such a double threat on the global oil markets?
