We've got a far right coalition (Labour) with an authoritarian Leadership who are puppets at the very least (more totally embroiled in through historical colonialism) and supportive of a Genocidal maniac. Farage wouldn't be so far away.
Still, I'm sure Starmer and Lammy have had a nice dinner with Trump.
It depends on perspective.

I think it may be more for domestic consumption? The general population of other Arab countries are as outraged as the rest of us. Israel has to be very cautious. My opinion obviously.

Certainly a question mark over the ongoing status of the West Bank, but Gaza has not been "occupied" since 2005, and the Golan Heights is a spoil of war when Syria and others attempted to invade and destroy Israel, Israel maintains it as a buffer zone to ensure Syria, and others, cannot easily get access to murder more Israeli citizens.

You’ve obviously not seen the numerous images and videos of Syrians & Iranians celebrating Israel’s victories. I’d share but it would cause outrage amongst the gang

Welcome to imo, all for this thread being updated with news, thoughts and perceptions globally if relevant.
Yep and they can be as mental as you like, without any basis in fact.
For example, it seems fine to suggest the UK Government, elected in a democratic landslide, are actually an authoritarian, fascist coalition

Your words, not mine
It's still considered to be occupied under international law.
Spoil of war? What is this, the middle ages?
It's not a buffer zone, Israel use the land as their own.
Israel's inability to see things from the another point of view may well be their downfall.

Let’s face it none of the numbers are reliable, some oft quoted are pure make believe. However there is numerous commentary on the ratios. Ultimately the answer is too many as no one wants war

In large swathes of the ME, Islam certainly keeps cultural progression supressed somewhat.... people living as aligned to a dogma born out of a mythical person of dubious reputation within medieval parameters for life.

Hardly a landslide when Labour received roughly the same number of votes as they did in the previous election defeat....Yep and they can be as mental as you like, without any basis in fact.

They'll be asking for you to wear a star of David soon next
