General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
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. (These things should be publicly discussed)
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.
[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(
It's pretty obvious that if Israel wants a way to exterminate Palestinians then the US will be happy to help. And if the US are happy to help, then the UK is happy to help.
I don't think anybody is going to do a damn thing about it. This is just going to continue until the end 😢
Palestine Action is doing something about it
With about as much effectiveness as the Sioux.
lol, you thought you'd play down the effectiveness of Pal Action by comparing them to an epic anti-imperialist struggle that has withstood settler colonialism for the last 400 years? weird.
Either way, pal action have already permanently shut down multiple Elbit Systems weapons factories in the UK to date and have inspired similar groups in france and the US. Last time I checked this is working way better than emailing your MP, or even marching in the centre of town every week (not that people shouldn't be doing that as well).
If you have any tips for Pal Action on how they could be more effective then join lmao
Doesn't it mean that the UK government is enabling war crimes?
It ever stopped?
Not unless US special forces are targeting civilian targets. That I find highly doubtful. They will be targeting highly specific targets. It's what those units do.
They are probably trying to remove Israel's excuses for the genocide by achieving goals surgically.
The special forces talked about in the article is 427th Special Operations Squadron, who are a logistics operation. The claim the article is making is that Akrotiri is being used by the US to supply Israel with weapons, not that the US is deploying troops directly into the Gaza. If the US/UK know beforehand that these weapons will be used to do war crimes (which they absolutely do), then they could be charged with war crimes.
Wonder what the 'the UK can't do anything in the Gaza conflict' people will say to this.
