How many Palestinians have died since Israel broke the last ceasefire agreement in March 2025?

Whilst the former colonial powers of NATO congratulate themselves on the imposition of a distinctly colonial looking settlement on Gaza, which disproportionately favours the settler colonial state of Israel, remember there was a perfectly workable peace settlement that Israel broke in March 2025

You know there are established protocols for dealing with national airspace violations don't you?

You promote reckless actions at times of international tensions.

What kind of analyst are you?

Amid rising airspace provocations, the European Parliament has called on EU countries to shoot down Russian planes violating their airspace.

And drones?

Former NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen states that Tony Blair would be the right person at the right time to "govern" Gaza

Israel is a defacto NATO member & NATO elites look after their own.

White European Christian elites have the answers to the Palestine problem apparently

In political science, the term Intellectual Jet Lag refers to a situation where the realities of international circumstances or entities have changed but casual observers have not caught up yet.

Their views that were once relevant are now dated, out of touch & distorted
The EU is once such entity

Clem.PM @clempm.bsky.social · 20h

The truth that dare not speak its name

The EU has changed. From a peace project it has morphed into a neo-liberal austerity loving entity in domestic policy & an unaccountable war monger in foreign policy supporting 2 of the most right wing ethno-supremacist states on the planet

Israel & Ukraine

Some people actually believe that rejoining Europe will bestow this wonderful utopia upon us!

We now have an extremely right wing Europe… so be very very careful what you wish for…or particularly what you’re prepared to accept!!

The arrogant Western Powers that brought you the Sykes-Picot Agreement 1916 and buggered up the Middle East for 100 years now bring you the Trump Gaza Plan

More western imposition of western dominance on the people of Palestine. Again the people of Gaza wider Palestine have no say

I really hope Palestinians find some peace, but holding a gun to someone’s head when they’re on their knees in shackles and demanding they hand over their dignity to the psychos who murdered their family and flattened their home doesn’t seem like a good basis for lasting peace.

Silly me. I used to think that “The Spectator” hit its nadir when Boris Johnson was editor. Now seems like a golden age.

“Earning peace” is a concept that will haunt me for the rest of my life.
