I reckon you're 5"3' and my fiancee could annihilate you.

Soz.

I'm annihilated by the thought that you have a fiancee.

Cute.

Have you got any further with the junkies?

"Rent free". Isn't that your usual retort?

I'm surprised you don't understand the "red lines" thing and why he didn't answer it. He would be setting a trap for himself that he doesn't need to set.

The only trap he's caught in is of his own making.

Would the 'trap' be that if he opposes war crimes then he'll be obliged to oppose Israel committing them? With traps that cunning, I can see why his only option is hitch his wagon to a racist terror state and to defend its interests at any cost.

Ever heard of the word 'diplomacy'?

Is that the idea that you have to keep supplying weapons and approval to terrorist states in order to influence them?

It's the idea that if you refer to a state as a "racist terror state" you shut down any prospect of ever having any influence with them at all. Israel is not going anywhere. It is still going to be there in 11 months time when Starmer becomes PM. The war may possibly still be on. Nethanyahu may be gone.

If you open your ears you'll hear Starmer talking about the need for a two state solution. The grown ups have their eyes on shaping what happens after the war.

Obviously some of you will hear completely different words coming out of Starmer's mouth along the lines of unequivocal support for genocide bla bla bla

Wasn't aware anyone was asking Starmer to do that.

And how has All The Grown Ups Say They Want a Two-State Solution worked out so far?

Gosh, the world is a complicated place, isn't it. If only the leader of the UK opposition could command other countries to bend to his will.

 

[winjim]

From the river, about halfway to the sea more or less, plus a bit in the south and dibs on Jerusalem.

Not quite as catchy is it?

You still seem to be arguing that because his influence is limited - but I hope you’d agree significantly greater than yours or mine - he shouldn’t say anything meaningful or critical at all.
