There is no war that can be fought with a trapped civilian population. That is not war. If you destroy all infrastructure, bomb the hospitals, ban all media, disrupt the food supply and corral the remaining population into a tiny area and then go after them. That is not war.

I hope you guys can watch this clip but I'm going to transcribe it for those who can't. Here's Ammar Anwar, former (as of yesterday) Labour Councillor of Dewsbury West Council. He's in bits, shaking and crying, as he reads the following statement:

"As I came home yesterday, my five year old daughter, who was watching the news with me the previous night, saw images of what was going on in Gaza. She said to me, "Dad, what have you done ...

After killing over 25,000 people in the last 100 days, it is with a heavy heart I leave the party I always loved."
Ends.
I know some people think they have to vote Labour to get rid of the Tories - and they're right, because of the rigged FPTP system we live under - but people of conscience should take every measure possible to ensure their majority is tiny.

From Labour website:

"[Keir Starmer's] entire career has been about securing justice for those that need it."

From today's National:

"Keir Starmer refuses to call killing of Palestinian man under white flag a war crime."

Anybody who still trusts Starmer is a fool.

@MadeyeTheCarnaptious He was on Peston last night and to quote him directly "we shouldn't rush to judgement" on the matter of a blatant war crime on live television.

Dafür muss er nun um damalige «Gäste» trauern, die ihn aus den Reihen der Hamas-Terroristen im Bundeshaus 2012 besuchten. Diese sind tot.

Folks, the trolley problem is a thought experiment, not the real world. We don’t live in a Saw movie franchise dilemma where we have to trade one life for another. Killing Israeli kids won’t save Palestinian kids and killing Palestinian kids won’t save Israeli kids.

We know this because people have been killing Israeli and Palestinian kids for decades and they’re still not safe.

@escarpment

You're getting heat for your vile, disgusting ideas that justify heinous atrocities.

Mainstream modern philosophical thought? So what? Is that supposed to carry some weight of authority or some such shit?

Mainstream modern philosophical thought includes many terrible currents that can drag you into the abyss. It's not like it is any kind of consensus anyway, so wtf does your appeal to it even mean? Why should anyone give a shit about your maliciously cherry-picked version of "philosophical" sociopathy?

Those of us on the shore watching the hopelessly polluted mainstream flow by don't need to dip our toes into that shit to know that there is no justification for killing innocent children and civilians, and no justification for the state of Israel's apartheid and genocide.
