Israel-Palestine

Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the Israeli military will retain open-ended security control over the Gaza Strip long after its war against Hamas ends. In a news conference late Tuesday, Netanyahu said Gaza would have to remain demilitarized and that the only body capable of ensuring this would be the Israeli military.

Israel’s military has said it struck at approximately 250 “terror targets” in the Gaza Strip over the last day, including targeting what it claimed was Hamas activity located at schools

He won't stop until the entire strip is rubble, and Palestinians are either eliminated or 'happy' to go back to good old days of being imprisoned, blockaded, and kissing the boots of the IDF.

Considering there were somewhere in the region of 5000 'terror hub buildings' destroyed, they must have been pretty shit at terrorism considering there's only been a handful of attacks on Israeli soil.
 
Demilitarised with demilitarisation being enforced by the invader is called occupation.

Netanyahu needs to be told to wind his neck in. Preferably by someone with the military power to properly stand on that neck.
 
'The US has blocked a Security Council resolution put forward by the UAE calling for an "immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza
13 of the council's 15 members voted in favour, with the UK abstaining'

Shameful

UK referred to the fact the resolution not condemning the Hamas atrocities. prawnking would no doubt approve.
 
I'm sick and tired of us being America's puppet with made-up bullshit excuses. Even more depressing is you know that's not going to change whoever wins the next election. (Edit: Not a response to Alan.)

Elections are nought to do with it. Money is power.

I’d say it still applies, particularly post-Brexit.

We’ve worked our countries into an interdependence that makes disagreeing with one another anathema. It’s a real rock/hard place.

We've been like that since at least the early 80s, Thatcher and Reagan, Blair and Bush.

As for the abstention, I'd rather we'd voted against, it would still be the wrong thing to do, but at least it'd show balls.

'Disagreeing' is charitable. I think it's more one-sided than that: America says 'Jump!' and whoever's in No 10 says 'How high, Mr President?'
 
I suspect it's at the point where it'll start doing the UK & US a bit of diplomatic damage now tbh.

It's astonishing how far out of step we are with the rest of the world on this issue.

Suspect we probably have the same feelings as most of the other nations but we don't want to upset our US besties, so are going with the shoulder shrugging option.
