Do you reckon Israel/Mossad has some proper dirt over the UK, is it the City's financial interests or something else? It's just shocking that we continue to support a genocide despite it clearly being opposite to what the majority of us want.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
clearly being opposite to what the majority of us want.
Not actually disagreeing but. I'd be interested to see evidence of that. As I think it depends on age.
Most over 50 grew up thinking of hamas as terrorists that kidnapped and held UK and other prisoners for over a decade. It was a huge element of 80s news and hugely influenced the media daily.
As such their ideals and pre internet news will have influenced at least 40 plus year olds.
You are likely to find the majority is hugely against these actions under 40. As these people very much depends on the internet for news. Older UK folks literally grew up with little or no ability to see non UK news.
So around 40 plus it likely scews further and further to the mainstream medias opinion. Reinforced over decades of UK media and negativity towards hamas.
Add to that the age group not only most likely to vote. But most reliable on their party support when voting.
Add under 40 as a political force really only include 18 to 40. As those that cannot vote are ignored for most political desiions unless their parents agree. And then it really is the parents opinion that is counted.
And the government choices seem less surprising. More so as few of the MPs are under 40 Is it likely the vaste majority of voting public are not opposed these actions. Or even recognise them as genacide based on media views.
When have they ever done what the majority of you want?
It's not like we'll ever create a revolutionary army and keep the law keepers in check. They do this because they think there's no consequence.
Reminds me of that German tanker over Jordan when Israel was bombing Iran...
While Germany was denying it provides direct military support in Israel's campaign. Amazing thatthis smar Germany spent 6 months figuring out if it can legally provide weapons to Ukraine while it was being invaded since thay would wouldn't supporting an active conflict 🤡
