...but also it isn't a total win for pro Palestinians...it didn't rule for an immediate ceasefire, and said Hamas must release all hostages...so...kind of messy.

I find it crazy that the idea that people in support of a two-state solution are being labelled as pro-Palestine at the moment. Not accusing you, just more general rhetoric.

Ah yea, all very nice and all that, but it's just a request, no way to enforce it.

ok, not sure how else to describe. Pro South African? Anti Israel? Pro peace? I mean, no one in that region seems to want a two state solution as far as I can gather.

Yeah. I'd largely say it's "anti-genocide". I mean yeah I consider myself pro-peace, but there are moral interventionist wars that can be justified. I'd definitely say "anti-Israel" or "pro-Palestine" has a bit more of a "from the river to the sea" vibes and desire for the destruction of Israel as opposed to opposing its racist government committing war crimes.

It's a deeply nuanced situation with no simple terminology that sufficiently covers those nuances.

Yup! In the bin with them.

Still think a Nov election more likely...I mean they can kick Sunak out, but who do they replace him with?

[steviewevie]

Badenoch maybe. She's kept her head down with all this Rwanda nonsense, just keeps banging on about trans stuff.

Did you know that the head of the British army is general Sanders.

I wonder if he was ever a colonel?
