Rishi Sunak then applauds Keir Starmer for supporting him on what he describes as Israel's "right to defend itself", which in practise has meant a genocidal rampage.
Both united in supporting war crimes. How heartwarming for us all!

Netanyahu has also committed to ethnic cleansing Gaza.
You probably know the guy, he’s prime minister?
Easy to pretend it’s just more extreme Israeli ministers so it looks like you’re taking a stand.
Meanwhile you hand Israel the arms to make Gaza an inhospitable wasteland
I know that Yoseph Haddad is lying or misinformed because I’m a Christian from Gaza.
My family is sheltering in the Holy Family church, not from Hamas, but from Israeli airstrikes that murdered my cousin at St. Porphyrius.
It wasn’t Hamas that murdered my great aunt Elham who only wanted to return home. She was sniped and left to bleed to death. The Red Cross wasn’t given permission to rescue her. And last week we discovered a tank had run her over and flattened her body. We don’t know if she was still alive when it happened.
It wasn’t Hamas that murdered Nahida and Samar Anton, my family friends, when snipers shot them and seven others in the church courtyard.
It wasn’t Hamas that confiscated our lands in 1948 when my grandfather’s home was destroyed by the Haganah. Hamas didn’t even exist until 39 YEARS after we were expelled from our homes and 20 YEARS after the military occupation of Gaza.
It wasn’t Hamas that bulldozed my family’s orchards in 2004. It wasn’t Hamas that prevented my relatives from travelling to Bethlehem to pray at the Nativity, or Jerusalem to pray at the Holy Sepulchre for Easter.
All my relatives and family friends who left Gaza did so because they couldn’t stand the suffocation under the illegal blockade. And the truth is, we’re part of the middle and upper-middle class of Gaza; we have the means to leave. And many have relatives in the “West” and in the Gulf states that they can go to. Many of the Muslim upper-middle class also left, just as they did when Zionist forces began their ethnic cleansing operations in December 1947.
Despite that, I have relatives right now in the church who refuse to leave. Who will not let the cleansing of Palestine happen again to them. They say - proudly - we are Palestinians. We were born here, and we will do everything in our power to remain here.
So stop speaking for us. Stop putting our lives at further risk. And stop participating in our persecution.
Update: a tank has taken position outside the church and the building opposite has been taken. The people inside have died. There are snipers at every window pointing into the church. Still shooting anyone emerging from buildings to use eg toilets. Still no food or water.
@PiersUncensored@piersmorgan@DillyHussain88 ‘It got clipped up’… this is the very strategy of Piers’ show - securing contentious soundbites regardless of the context, which he can use to destroy individuals (mainly his pro-Palestine guests), I’m glad he knows how it feels to be reduced to a single ‘gotcha’ statement
@martinwager2@LaylaMoran Likely a damn sight less than the military package sent to Israel by the UK to commit war crimes which includes P8 aircraft, surveillance assets, two Royal Navy ships – RFA Lyme Bay and RFA Argus – three merlin helicopters and a company of Royal Marines.
This weekend, the first convoy of humanitarian assistance since Hamas’s October 7 terrorist attack on Israel crossed the border into Gaza and reached Palestinians in need.
I made it clear from the outset of this crisis that humanitarian assistance was a critical and urgent need that had to get moving.
Human rights investigators have shared new information with Channel 4 News that they say casts doubt on some aspects of Israel’s account of the Gaza hospital explosion.
@alextomo reports.
@KimKardashian Kim shut the fuck up. Your family’s silence speaks volumes. Your quasi activism doesn’t fool anyone and your conditional concern for human rights is shameful so do us all a favour and shut the fuck uppp
Got to the ‘Shop for Tickets’ stage of after being 500 people ahead of me in queue, then Captcha thought I was a bot, I reverified and then got booted out of the queue 😡😭 it was my turn next 💔💔💔💔 #Eurovision
So that’s it. Who are the winners from this budget? Bankers, city fatcats, fossil fuel giants, the extremely wealthy. Who are the losers? Everyone else. And not one word about climate & nature protection, on which all wealth ultimately depends #Bankersbudget
