Die Satan!
David Lammy is a real peice of poo poo

quote:

Speaking to BBC’s Radio 4 Today programme, Lammy was asked if this kind of attack was “proportionate”.

He replied: “Well look I mean Israel have said that they’ve killed important Hamas commanders. And of course they’ve said and reminded the world that Hamas do rely on human shields but I woke up this morning to the heartbreaking and horrific images of a massive crater where people lay clearly under rubble. I think it is important for Israel to explain how this conforms with the laws of war, how does it qualify as proportionate because clearly those scenes are very troubling. When it comes to the ethics, it’s clear to me that it’s wrong to bomb a refugee camp but clearly if there is a military objective it can be legally justifiable. It’s for Israel to explain its actions.”

Define 'best interests' and 'state of Israel' here. One of the problems with going 'lol, this country is being so self-destructive' is that the people making those state-level decisions are often personally set to do rather well out of it.

don't attribute a "lol" to me you cheeky bastard

The State of Israel

best interests: at a minimum not behaving in a way that incites others to commit further atrocities on your citizens

You understand my point, though, yes? As we're being presently reminded with the COVID enquiry, the 'best interests' of a government can become extremely divorced from those of its citizenry.

i'm just not sure why you're making it, or why you felt the need to make it in such a condescending way*

what i mean is that these people are literally in a club called "Friends of Israel", but if they really had the best interests of that nation in mind they would be seeking a path to a future where its citizens can live in relative peace with their neighbours

Israel can never be in peace because it's a fascist ethnostate. Even if every Palestinian was slaughtered they would then start turning on every Israeli of Arab heritage and then the Sephardic population etc. etc.

The increased number of children needing to be taken into protection is on the verge of bankrupting councils around the UK, which are already struggling with a surge of homelessness.

Fighter pilots are so rare and have so much status in the armed forces that I expect they can get away with quite a lot.

If we're remaking Tom Cruise films to be more graphic then we should do Interview With The Vampire, that's a film about a gay vampire couple adopting a daughter and it going wrong because they're immortal monsters who drink blood and never age or change, but they just cut out all the cool gay stuff

Don't know if you've seen it recently but Interview with the Vampire is one of the gayest films ever put to celluloid. It is already 100% gay, it cannot be ten times more homosexual.
