Hamas my arse. Fatah rule in the West Bank and the Palestinians are getting slaughtered there too.
Hadn't thought about that mate. Until you'd said that, I'd presumed it would all just be settled quickly and amicably.
Oh well, I guess we should just get behind the bloodshed then. Thanks again for your big boy pragmatism.
Don't subscribe to antiquated view that UK opinion on these matters actually carry any weight with those involved.TBF Hamas are not the ones breaking agreements lately. I’ve mentioned it before but earlier this year Bibi signed a deal with the US, Jordan and the PA to freeze new settlements… and broke it as soon as he got home.
All manner of Arab and Middle Eastern regimes tried to improve relations over the past few years, and as this crisis has showed the current Israeli government doesn’t give a fig about their genuine concerns about how this affects them, not is there any respect for their genuine concerns about escalation.
That shouldn’t be a surprise because they’ve shown no concern about civilian casualties, the fate of the hostages, the concerns of their European allies or even the long term security of Israel either - they are only concerned with their own grip on power.
If by some miracle UK could change things, I expect much the same. Would wants us in there protecting all.
So talk is cheap even cheaper on a football forum no matter how profound some of us think we are...
