Starmer’s response came after the Liberal democrat leader, Ed Davey, asked what actions the government would take after Smotrich said starving 2 million Palestinians in Gaza was ‘justified and moral’ and Ben-Gvir called Israeli settlers who killed Palestinians in the West Bank ‘heroes’. Starmer replied: ‘We are looking at that because they’re obviously abhorrent comments … along with other really concerning activity in the West Bank but also across the region’

  2. And many bribed politicians are still going on about "the horrific attack" against a small number of people partying on stolen land while the open air prison next door is being ethnic cleansed? What's the death toll at now? 45k? Imagine if the land thieves took that many casualties? The Israelis use underage girls to control western politicians and money, so there's a chance the leaders still supporting Israel are pedophiles

  4. The United Nations itself is a joke.. whilst the US at its discretion can simply veto any resolutions it essentially cannot get anything done.
    Until Security council veto power is abolished it will continue to be redundant.
