Really weird how David baddiel doesn't feel like he needs to condemn Israels actions in the past as being Jewish doesn't mean he is responsible for Israel,which makes perfect sense

But those attacking Israel actions now he is conflating with antisemitism, weird double standard?
Having watched his interview with Jason Lee and his rather measely apologies given there, I would say he is someone who should be more familar with the need to come to terms with the past to find solutions in the present.

Yeah but he provides evidence for that, and that evidence is pages from his own book
 

It is terrible isn't it. It is a shame that a UN peacekeeping force or the like isn't on hand as these families are abandoned and under threat from radical settlers. Such a third party to keep islamists under control too would help. The current powers that be are seemingly incapable and unwilling to find a sustainable peace.
 
I see an MP has been sacked for calling for ceasefire.

I’m not speechless often, but Jesus Christ. That’s mental.
There is a realisation that will start to creep in around the world that there are no "good guys" (in terms of states/countries/governments).

The good guys are the people. Russians, Brits, Israelis, Palestinians... We are all the same.

There will be a war, more violent and grotesque than anything before, between the elites and the plebs when enough people start to realise this.

That’s if the “plebs”, “Won’t Get Fooled Again” into killing each other.

I think a UN force would achieve nothing. By their mandate that force would be there to “keep the peace”. Both Hamas and Israel want war not peace, so the only thing the UN force would achieve is a shed load of dead UN soldiers.

I think we are getting beyond that point, to be honest. Even the most dyed in the wool supporters of their various political parties, countries and geopolitical clubs are struggling to reconcile the bizarre allegiances that are being formed that go against everything they've been led to believe.

It's almost as if those groups do not actually stand for anything other than power and wealth 🤔

I’m not so confident as you. These people are masters at manipulating others.

Something has to give.

Israel has made clear that is not going to stop, Hamas is going to keep attacking.

Maybe it will take many more lost lives on both sides but that really would feel like a path to a regional, possibly global escalation.

Russia are doing their best to position a Russia, Iran (islamic world), North Korea, China battle against the West. Hamas has opened Pandora's Box and we can be sure that their backers were fullt aware of what would happen.
