Not in any way a solution (it isn’t) but because I think you and Alex might find it interesting (I did).

BBC asking Bridget Phillipson at length about rising antisemitism in the UK (which actually fell last year according to new figures, albeit still very high) but not at all about rising Islamophobia, which is up by 19% year-on-year

Poor comparison no?

The British army did not disarm. The IRA did.

Let me put it differently will the average Palestinian be any safer if Hamas do NOT disarm?

Just because Israel is awful doesn’t mean we should ignore Hamas oppression of Palestinians nor the corruption of their leaders.

Supporting Palestine doesn’t mean whitewashing hamas

Worse would be Israel continuing its assault.

Wars don’t end because the defeated side has run out of guns.

Even with weapons Hamas can’t protect Palestinians from Israel (but can intimidate their neighbours)

I’d have thought that was obvious

What a tangled web 🇷🇺 oligarchs weave attempting to slither out of sanctions & regain superyachts

This strikes me as a pretty major Brexit shift from Starmer.

Perhaps the beginning of 'Brexit is sh1t and has caused real economic damage'.

a) it’s for the Palestinians to decide

b) Israel has not “already done its worst”

c) I understand why they want to keep them but Hamas WITH weapons has failed to protect Palestinians

d) does Hamas want weapons against Israel or against angry Palestinians?

e) 💯 security guarantor would be great

“Is peace merely the absence of war? Or is it something else that involves prosperity, democracy, and the rule of law - a framework that means conflict can be resolved in a civilised way? That seems a more enduring vision than ‘we’ve stopped shooting at each other, for now’.”
