  1. Nothing to see here. Just Unionists supporting the murder of bairns to appease Israel.

  2. The day will come when Israel goes too far even for these odious Toads, and when they try to convince us that they were always against it, we must never ever let them forget that the blood of Palestinians is on their hands too.

  3. years ago, in 2010, even a coward like him described Gaza as an ‘open air prison’. shameful

  4. Orban withdrew Hungary from the ICC this year. It happened a few months ago. Then he promptly had a party with Netanyahu in Budapest. I’m just gonna leave this here.

    (Oh and we also told Putin he’s very welcome in our lovely country.)

  5. Pig fucker is also a genocide supporter, colour me surprised.

  6. International law is meaningless without enforcement and nobody is willing to enforce it on the Israeli government, at least in part because Mossad’s goons have a habit of murdering people who take action against them.

    If the British government were to arrest any of these persons, mossad would have no issue with reprisals such as a few car bombs, sinking a few civilian ships, fiddling with the controls of a nuclear power station with spyware, or any other plausibly deniable terroristic responses. They have the software used in some of the UKs aircraft, so there’s that as well.

    Like, what’s a few thousand civilian casualties inflicted on a supposed ally like the UK ? Not like anyone is going to take action, is it ?

  7. The UK didn’t withdraw so it was just a threat which is a normal part of diplomatic strategy. Reading the article it’s hard to fault Cameron’s points if the article is to be believed. He doesnt appear to claim the Israelis were innocent, he said that issuing warrants would be the wrong thing to do and would inflame the situation. I’m not sure what issuing warrants has achieved apart from mutual back patting so maybe he has a point here? He also voiced concern over the lack of warrants issued over similar things citing Iran. Since the thrust of the argument in favour of the ICC decision seems to be Israel is being treated favourably “as usual”, this shouldn’t be a controversial point.

    It also seems incredibly naive of the ICC to have the prosecution led by a guy called Khan. It’s just to easy for those with nefarious wishes to bat it away.

  8. Oof, Karim Khan, duno if he’s a totally trustworthy source for this, given the allegations surrounding him.

  9. Not content with fucking the UK over Brexit, he now wants to fuck over the Palestinians.

    He should be kicked out of the House of Lords, and barred from any political work and/or lobbying.

  10. Pulling out of the International Cricket Council is a huge statement threat from Cameron, aye.

  11. We’re chained to a corpse – made all the more reprehensible by the fact that a decade ago 55% thought it was great idea to continue with that suppurating attachment.

    I’ve always maintained that the Cameronian shower were every bit as bad as the demented harridan Thatcher’s rule – but had better PR.

  12. No surprise the Tories don’t like to be told when they are wrong
