How does Humza expect a ceasefire to be reached if we aren’t even allowed to talk to Israel…
Cant even support a genocide without being called racist these days
Humza clearly doing his best to keep discourse civil and productive here. Sadly Humza’s best has always been a bit shite.
>He claimed it was “shameful” to meet with the Israeli government and to “pose for photographs with the government whose head is wanted by the International Criminal Court”.
>Mr Yousaf said: “I wouldn’t expect David Lammy to be posing, smiling with photographs with Sergei Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister.
>“I wouldn’t expect Keir Starmer to be shaking hands and hugging Vladimir Putin. We wouldn’t expect any engagement at that senior level.”
>He added: “The only conclusion one can draw with why the Israeli government and the people of Gaza are treated differently is that it has to be rooted in racism.
He’s correct here and people will skip past this to attack Yousaf to avoid discussing the actual point.
The torygraph is a shite source these days, so it’s good to see the full quote:

I would agree that there are very significant differences between how British society empathises with Ukrainians and Palestinians.
I do not think those differences are broadly attributable to racism, but I’m not going to waste any pixels explaining why to anyone who by now doesn’t understand the manifestly complex, imperfect and fraught process of trying to influence bitter enemies in Israel and Palestine.
I’d put this oversimplified and reductive take down to Yousaf being a fucking muppet though rather than anything more sinister.
Like Fred West critiquing your parenting skills.
>The former first minister compared Israeli military action to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine but claimed the Foreign Secretary and Sir Keir Starmer, the Prime Minister, would not engage in the same way with Vladimir Putin or Sergey Lavrov, Moscow’s foreign minister.
>He said the “only conclusion” to explain the different approaches was that the British response was “rooted in racism” because of the idea that “Arab lives simply do not matter to the same extent as European lives”.
No shit sherlock- democratic Ukraine is worth more to the UK than Islamist Gaza.
So we want Russia to surrender in order to preserve the Ukranian regime and Israel to ceasefire in order to preserve the Palestinian people.
The only reason to support the Ukraine approach vis a vis Gaza would be if one supported Hamas.
Humza doesn’t support Hamas does he?
Did we ever find out why he diverted huge sums of money to UNWRA, against official advice, the day before his in laws left Gaza?
The grifters eat their own eventually.
It’s smoothbrained to think that the only reason people don’t like eachother is racism.
