In the UK, there was a law that enabled citizens to sue war-criminals. In 2011 when Israeli war-criminal Tzipi Livni came to visit the UK and people filed for her arrest. Luckily our Head of Public Prosecutions was our dear Keir Starmer and he promptly issued a special document to give her immunity and changed the law so no other war-criminals in the future may be held accountable. He didn't start enabling genocides and war crimes today. He has built a fucking career out of it. It's unreasonable to expect for him to stop. Sadly, Palestinians' cause in the UK lost when Corbyn did.

[@Lucky32Luke]

What an utter word salad answers! It puts the lettuce at shame, which overlived Liz Truss. The UK is sinking into compliance of a full blown genocide on a false premise "a democratic nation cannot commit genocide". It surely can. Criticizing the Israeli goverment does NOT mean being antisemitic. Just as critisising the Hungarian goverment and Victor Orban is not equal to being anti Hungarian. I am a Hungarian immigrant and I hate what Orban is doing to my home country and he doesn't speak for me or represent me or my fellow citizens. He claims thou any criticism against his regime is a direct attack against all Hungarians. That is what authoritarians do.

[@chatham43]

@lucky Two questions. Are you really Hungarian and have you looked up Genocide in the dictionary. I suspect the answer is no..and no😊

[@sirsnipermonkey]

While I appreciate the need to avoid conflating criticism of Israel with antisemitism, the issue at hand is nuanced and deserves careful thought. The term “genocide” is indeed heavy and should not be used loosely, but accusations of war crimes are serious and, if grounded in evidence, should be investigated under international law and not prejudged. Your point about democratic nations not being able to commit genocide is a straw man, and is a judged currently under consideration by the courts. Further, drawing comparisons between the criticism of Israel and Hungary’s situation under Victor Orban, while valid in some ways, misses the point that different governments and contexts warrant unique analyses. Being critical of state policies does not equate to demonizing an entire people, whether it’s Israelis, Palestinians, or Hungarians. The key issue is holding states to a standard of international law, not excusing or demonizing any particular national identity. The problem is, there’s a lot of antisemitism going around right now.

@@lizroberts1569 whataboutery won't work with this one Liz, walking onto foreign soil and claiming someone's land as your own then torturing a population for over 70 years is enough reason for Palestinians to be given the right to their own state - the '2 state solution' is a way for the West to get away with occupying foreign land to get Israelis away from Europe. Ask yourself why they didn't make an Israeli State in one of the 50 states or somewhere inbetween Oxford and Bristol?

"We need to do more than just debate", like the debate we are just doing to debate the constant debating the debates about the debates.

[@WakeUpSleepyHead-V1]

The tone is ever so slightly changing but it’s not enough. The people do not want you to continue supporting a genocide. Why do our elected officials not listen to the will of the people?

[@leadfinger-]

I have unfortunately been over there and you could tell from how they speak about the Palestinian people even English people as I was terrified for my own safety. The level of army checkpoints , gates , walls and security was deeply disturbing. If you dare to speak the voice of reason over there you will get in trouble. Every one could see this was on the cards. They say they are like us?
