I can't read the article. But I remember the public outcry in the UK against the war in Iraq was on a much bigger scale than against the war in Gaza. You had millions of people marching.
Who is using the words genocide and apartheid? I don't watch the news.
Hang on.
I remember the protests well and agreed with them. There were a couple of major protest marches and there was a lot of grumbling in general.
This was by British people protesting on British soil about the British government participating in the pointless and barbaric destruction of a country, which killed 300,000 and was based on a pack of lies. Iraq is still a disaster zone now as a result.
The mayhem we are now seeing on London's streets every week for the past 7 months, plus the hijacking of our democracy, are by a large proportion of foreigners, about a conflict the British government is not involved in, about a conflict that is none of our business and we cannot meaningfully change.
Clearly very different situations. Point is though, Israel's actions are of a far lower magnitude and evil - bearing in mind the relative circumstances - than the Iraq war. This is obvious. Iraq posed no threat to the US, and the level of destruction was out of all proportion. Turns out the reasons were made up! Israel is fighting a hostile enemy that it shares a border with. Can you imagine the response of the US if Mexico was firing rockets at California on a regular basis and then sent troops in to rape and murder women and children? Ya...
Specifically, the article is referring to workers who have been killed and explaining that this was also the case in the more pointless and unjust war in Iraq led by the world's policeman.
It is disgraceful for our pork faced foreign secretary to be lecturing Israel. There is a side story here that our political establishment appears to be **** scared of the large numbers of aggressive loonies - who they let in - intimidating them on the streets of London. Might be worth remembering that a Tory MP was hacked to pieces not so long ago whilst meeting with his constituents...
Point remains, Israel is being held to a very, very high standard. Strange... I wonder why...
Could it be anti-semitism? By a certain demographic and the sorts of lefties who never stop crying on about racism..?
