He's been owned from the very start of his career, he's there to serve Israel, hat you need to understand is people like him are groomed in childhood to serve their masters. They're not there to serve the people these so-called politicians they're agents for the elite, you'll think I'm talking conspiracy theory here, no wake up to this, that's what David Lammy is he's an agent for the elite and that means Israel.

‘Normalisation’ as in the normalisation of relations between countries at war or with military conflict - like the 1998 Good Friday Agreement + Peace Treaty was a normalisation of relations between Ireland and Britain. Ireland removed its territorial claims to the north in exchange for Britain allowing the North to have a referendum if it wants one in principle. It’s what they need to do for Gaza but obviously that’s like ten Northern Ireland’s with twenty times as much grievance and death.
