We've had a cabinet minister flying out on secret trip to Jerusalem, in recent years.

I would imagine that it will be hard to find a lot of bodies through the rubble.

The Gaza siege could have ended a year ago, but an orange tyrant needed to win an election.

The greatest act of political self-harm in election history.

Frankly, I think Israel has recruited loads of them.
You only have to look at a certain Labour Lord who's very keen on banning pro-Palestine protests.

And if people are wondering where Hamas came from, they'll find that Israel's response to the Palestinian Authority is the clue.
www.timesofisrael.com/for-years-ne...

For years, Netanyahu propped up Hamas. Now it’s blown up in our faces

The premier's policy of treating the terror group as a partner, at the expense of Abbas and Palestinian statehood, has resulted in wounds that will take Israel years to heal from

There are probably people on the far-left of the Labour Party currently plotting against Keir Starmer.
The Jeremy Corbyn man is crying while Labour are in government, which says a lot about the far-left of the Labour Party.
They don't care about power.
