When it is very bad and could not be worse, Israel manages to sink even lower in the mire! Thy have made the world a less safe place. Trump has shown that he is weaker than Biden (at least Biden did not parade his weaknesses for all to see. By attacking Qatar Israel has set a precedent where attacking peace talks wherever is acceptable. By not expelling the Israeli Ambassador and not refusing entry to Israeli politicians the UK government is complicit in the aggression. Lammy states that the UK Government has “not concluded that Israel is commiting genocide in Gaza”. 50000+ deaths, Israel destroying housing blocks and ordering residents to move, sniper deaths, attacks on aid workers and journalists, genocidal statements from several Israeli Cabinet members – how much more evidence does he need? The UK Government has seen itself as a peace broker at times on a variety of conflicts. Bombing London if peace tallks were held here is acceptable???
So we have an act of aggression against an allie and the trash papers lead with comments about Mandelson and Epstein meeting in 2003. I think the dates are correct? Oh and the Times front page also gives climate deniers a boost. Do we live in an age of factual denial and false news? Zac Polanski is correct when he states that people do not want to hear about climatic armageddon on a daily basis – but we are not ostriches! I do not believe that the public is so thick that it does not understand the facts and scince about climate change. They quite possibly may deny the facts to protect their fragile mind sets, or even to compensate for the their dire economic state, they may hope that denial of the facts will delay the inevitable despite it being fucking obvious! The only thing I would dispute is those who who put a timeline on it. Is there a tipping point, will albedo and the Arctic methane be a trigger? Are humans clever enough to find a solution? (not without recognising the problem!).
Oh and Johnson was a clever liar and cheat! Well who knew!
