Remember the U.S. and UK conducted air strikes on Houthi targets and launched naval missions like Operation Prosperity Guardian to protect shipping because corporations were losing money? Aid workers being attacked and abducted is OK, though.

I think he's playing them in that statement 😉

Keir Starmer is absolutely fcuked. Between ignoring British Intelligence warnings on Mandelson and now this? He must be causing panic in State Intelligence.
Here me out....
British Intel: "We're advising you not to do this, Prime Minister. Please listen to us".

I saw that this morning. It's "un-british" because the state is complicit in the genocide. They always tell on themselves.

Finally, it's been openly broadcast that the,Israeli's abduct innocent adults and children and imprison them.

"What do you mean by Palestinian hostages?"

Hadash Israeli MP Aida Touma-Suleiman "There are thousands of Palestinians who are kidnapped from their houses.. with no trial, no possibility to know what they are charged of & they are kept in prison. What can you call such a thing?"

Hank Johnson has long been a critic of Israeli occupation, illegal land grabs, and settler attacks. The man's no dozer, playing them at their own game.
