Why hasn't David Cameron criticised Israel's alleged strike on the Iranian consulate? | LBC

James O'Brien wants to know why David Cameron did not say if he would criticise Israel's alleged attack on the Iranian consulate.
'Why can't the British Foreign Secretary answer the question?' asks James O'Brien.
This comes following an interview between Nick Ferrari and the British Foreign Secretary, whereby Lord Cameron refused to comment on whether he criticises Israel for allegedly launching a strike on the Iranian consulate in Damascus.
James O'Brien says: 'Our most senior international diplomat can't answer a question about the rightness or wrongness, the wisdom or foolishness, of an act by Israel.'

😂This is true, they are obsessed with appearing innocent, but they did not succeed in that. They also bombed Egypt 3 times in an intersecting manner, and every time they say we made a mistake, but Egypt ignored the strikes. If Egypt responds, they will say the reason is Egypt.

Because they allowed Israeli leaders to define criticism of Israel as anti-Semitic, and the Tory party fought tooth and nail to keep Jeremy Corben out of No10 by saying he and his party were Anti-Semites. so any criticism of Israel isn't allowed by the Tories, so as to not be seen as hypocrites. . . . at least on this subject.

[@davidmurrell5143]

Iran warns Israel they will do something, and launch an 'attack' that will take hours to arrive, giving Israel and its willing allies plenty of time to stop the attack. Iran knew it would not get through, they did the equivalent of a gorilla thumping its chest, it was a lot of show of how big and scary it is, without actually really doing anything. It wasn't a failure, it did what the Iranian regime wanted, they retaliated but in a way that gives Israel a way of not retaliating back.

[@halofreak1990]

They did actually hit targets, though. They hit Ben Gurion airport, but, more importantly, several Israeli airbases that the F-35 fighters that bombed the Iranian consulate took off from.
