Team Genocide now with the moral posturing while they continue their support of the massacre.
All life is sacred to them, unless it’s a Palestinian one of course.
I think it's fair to say that around the world at any one time there are significantly over 100 conflicts.
People are dying in terrible and mostly unjust ways (in the sense that they aren't combatants and so didn't sign up for battle) all over the world at all times.
The Israel/Palestine war/conflict is one of these.
I would say that any innocent who has died in this is entitled to the same regret and sadness regardless. The same for anywhere in the world.
However, I very much doubt that if this country was engaged in a bloody conflict with lots of people dying that middle eastern countries would give two hoots about it.....and to be honest I wouldn't criticise them for it.....Other than a slight interest in humanitarian aid perhaps....it's none of their business.
Purely as a European, I favour Israel based upon them being mostly of European genetics (despite what a lot of them think and tell themselves) and the fact that Israel is.....mostly if not fully a western democracy.
However, the Israeli government is fully engaged in regional wars that it started.....I understand why they are doing it and there is logic....but it means an awful lot of innocent people are going to die and die only because Israel, under their current government (with big public backing) only wants what is best for them. Should I think that's right morally?
As a Brit....nay an Englishman albeit with genes from three out of four of our countries, how engaged should I be in this particular conflict in the middle east?
Surely only insomuch as it effects this nation.....I think that's the right attitude. I'm more interested in the safety of Jews in Britain.
I should support Israel's right to exist, while regarding its war as a regional issue that the west shouldn't really be that involved with....other than ensuring that Israel still exists. That doesn't mean supporting wars it starts itself with its big brother.
Though I will say that because America is a Nato ally who pay for the majority of it, they should have had the use of our bases from the start.....but no British involvement in actively attacking Iran.
However, if Iran are going to make us pay financially for using the strait then that does change things.....That can't be allowed to happen.
