Like #GenderIdentity, politics is not binary. I prefer to #DisagreeAgreeably rather than resort to blocking & insults. That is what Twitter is for. But I respect your right to be rude if that is what you prefer. https://captainstarkiller.blogspot.com

The record of Labour and the #NHS is one to be proud of. The Conservatives are the party that fails it. Repeatedly. #PMQs

As I posted before, those murdered by #Hamas were guilty of what? Extremists on both sides want to oppress their own people and eradicate the other.

Those murdered on #October7th were collaborators?

Is Keir Starmer complicit in genocide?

Two years ago, an attack was launched from Gaza that brought about a response from Israel. The attack was intended to remind Jews in Israel...

What’s my point? It is that it is not a binary situation of one being good and one being bad. The IDF have attempted Ethnic Cleansing and Hamas have murdered over a thousand Israeli’s. But #LGB rights are protected in Israel, they are not in the Palestinian areas.

I know that too many on both sides have suffered, too many have been taught to hate and extremism on both sides has resulted in the deaths of too many innocents. Or are we to #AgreeToDisagree on this as well?

The Palestinian Authority was elected into power in #TheWestBank with Gaza electing Hamas. Both elections were free and fair, but the democratic mandate has expired. Both have suppressed #LGB rights let alone T, Q and others. news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/3211772...

Here is another source, but I expect that you will side with those on the right and the left who refuse to accept that the UK played a role in bringing about the #GazaCeasefire uk.news.yahoo.com/trump-envoy-...

Before laws that have given the electorate an equal voice, women were wrongly considered to be less able than men. Rewind 200 years and only certain men were allowed to vote. youtu.be/LS37SNYjg8w?... #VoterSuppression #Misogyny

#Starmer worked for UK jobs when he got to his knees to suck off Trump “earning” a 10% #TrumpTariff. What would #JeremyCorbyn do to protect British jobs and workers?

Captain Starkiller @cpnstarkiller.bsky.social · 2d

I don’t see #ZackPolanski getting to his knees to suck off Trump the way #Starmer has done to “earn” 10% #TrumpTariffs. What rate would the Greens be able to negotiate?

Captain Starkiller @cpnstarkiller.bsky.social · 2d

While members of the US administration are divided on this, many acknowledge the role the UK played in the #GazaCeasefire agreement. However lots on the left and the right in Britain are united in refusing to acknowledge that role. bsky.app/profile/thet...

#VoterSuppression existed in the US and the UK in the past. While you may wish to return to those times, I don’t.

I want a #TwoStateSolution based on the borders of the #OsloAccords but extremists on both sides would prefer to oppress their own side and eradicate the other to create a #OneStateSolution. It is a shame you agree with them. www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-m...

Gaza marathon: UN cancels race over Hamas ban on women

The UN cancels Gaza's third annual marathon, blaming the refusal of the territory's governing Islamist Hamas movement to allow women to run.

Let me put this simply.
The UK has been acknowledged by many as helping to work towards a ceasefire.
Many on the right say that the UK recognising a #PalestinianState hindered ceasefire negotiations by rewarding Hamas. Many on the left also refuse to accept that the UK worked for a ceasefire.

Captain Starkiller @cpnstarkiller.bsky.social · 3d

There are those in the US administration who agree with you about #Starmer. They feel that recognising a #PalestinianState made it harder to get a ceasefire. news.sky.com/story/uk-pla...

UK played 'vital role' in Gaza peace deal, says Trump aide, after minister branded 'delusional'

You can deny reality if you want. #Starmer refused to allow #DiegoGarcia to be used to attack Iran. Why else did the attack involve bombers flying from the USA? captainstarkiller.blogspot.com/2025/06/star...
