It's sickening how suddenly after all this time some in the west are speaking out. Reputation management is all it is.

Exactly right, and even now, they're still pulling their punches.

They feel like they have to issue "condemnations," but they don't want the genocidal psychopaths to feel bad.

It's just so insane.

Yes, and oddly, strangely, all at once on cue in unison. I wonder who's pulling those strings and what it portends?

Yes, I wonder about that too, Liana. It's all so well coordinated. And I wonder how the resistance gets more coordinated so we're more able to address this stuff effectively.

Starmer, Lammy, Thornberry et al should be in the dock at the Hague - utterly heartless bastards all of them.

I am sure there's enough room to add Biden and Trump to that dock!

"which is a real thing that definitely exists"😂😂😂😂

And yep, UK arms are still flowing freely to Cretinyahoo's pariah state, even as Lammy says he's appalled. Weird old world innit.

Has anyone demanded that Israeli diplomats go home? Or any other form of action other than wiggle the lips.

If Western governments are so happy to make the religio-supremacist war criminal Netanyahu's dream of 'a nation state of Jews only' a reality, what next? Why not a nation state of Presbyterians only? Why not a nation state for everyone who believes anything at all without evidence? Why not a nation state of atheists only? Built on land that always belonged to people who believe stuff when, clearly, it must have belonged to people who didn't believe that stuff for centuries before? The world has gone mad. We have allowed our governments to support, arm and promote the nastiest sort of racism - the kind based on religious discrimination - and nutjobs everywhere will be wringing their hands with opportunistic glee. If it's good enough for Jews, why shouldn't everyone have a slice? Religitards are, after all, notoriously rich. Their fundamentalist offshoots in knuckle-dragging America have unlimited access to any weapon anyone could want. The media won't want to offend. Today, having officially dispensed with the idea that all people are created equal - 'a nation state for Jews only' is inherently discriminatory - we have the most powerful governments in the world supporting the new idea that you're disposable if your religion is wrong. A genocide has been allowed to prove the point. Thuggery works. Today the Palestinians, tomorrow? Beware being a wrong religion, and owning any tasty seaside property.

It will be hilarious to watch all the zionists who cheered this on have their Eureka moments. Too late by far.

Starmer & Lammy, - what's with all this sudden girly, woke, sensitivity about the daily Gaza live-streamed genocide?

You're still sending F35 parts for strikes and recces!

Make it make sense, or you're both going down for mass murder.

The old adage about "better late than not at all" fails miserably in the face of what was KNOWN for so many months. While I am mildly relieved at the apparent turn (at least the public posturing: I suspect arms and military advice will continue), I simply cannot applaud.

It is continuing non stop. It's all smoke and mirrors. Especially smoke.

"Now that Israel is starving 14,000 babies to death and openly boasting about it and saying not even the west can stop us, I’m shitting myself..."

I think a lot of Western politicians are shitting themselves this week. This genocide shit has finally and firmly "hit the fan" and all those who aided and abetted war crimes could be finding their names on a list of war criminals to be tried at The Hague. Poor, poor pitiful sociopaths they all are!
