Absolutely desperate, jingoistic pish from someone who knows his party is shortly going to be annihilated on his watch, with the next in line ensuring him and Sturgeon aren’t even mentioned in the history books.
“The right side of history” i.e. the one I’m on. Same as it always has been.
I agree, Red Tories are no better than Biden, Sunak and the rest of the Apartheid backers

Right side of history?
A ceasefire requires both sides to stop shooting.
Who is on the side of increased aggression from both sides….what a ridiculous statement.
So wait, how does this ceasefire work? Israel calls a unilateral ceasefire, Hamas declares victory and then uses the break in fighting to rearm, refuel, and prepare to launch its next way of horrifying atrocities against Israeli civilians in…a couple of months? Weeks?
Calling for a ceasefire now would be like calling for a ceasefire in WW2 when the Allies had finally pushed the Nazis back into Germany. Would Scotland have called on the Allies to leave the Nazis in power, to protect German civilians from the horrors of the war they had been so happy to visit on other nations?
There could be no lasting peace in Europe until the Nazis were destroyed. The same is true for Hamas.
“right side of history” is a phrase I really hate. Just say “god”.
Apparently, letting the Hamas psychopaths stay in power is “being on the right side of history”. The people who rule with an iron fist and routinely throw their opponents from roofs. The people who have a manifesto which promises the total extermination of the Jews in the Middle East. The people who stated over and over in the past couple of weeks that they will repeat the October 7th massacres until Israel is eliminated. These are the people that should rule the Gazans for a few more generations of back to back wars? I rather be on the wrong side of history then
There can’t be any type of ceasefire while Hamas have hostages.
I really hope this is just politics because the idea that our government is this naive is really quite scary.
It’s none of our business though
how many ceasefires would that make? and how many have Hamas broken?

You cannot declare unilateral peace.
I don’t have the answers but I thought Bernie Sanders got it right yesterday
So that’s Scotland and Ireland, good for them!. Shame Englands shitty leader has his head up Israels arse
Israeli bots out in force on this post
Scotland can no longer be into Nordics.
Check the absolute state of these cunts in the comments, just unapologetically in favour of murdering thousands of children with bombs.
You r/europe users shouldn’t be allowed to breed, utter psychopaths.
Why don’t we start with getting the civilians out of there, like we did for refugees from Syria, Sudan Afghanistan, Ukraine etc?
Why not let them out, let Hamas bear the consequences of their actions and when it’s settled anyone who wants back can go back?
Why do I have to individually expand each comment in this post? Is it trying to give me repetitive strain injury on purpose??
Israel gets attacked by terrorists, responds by killing several times as many people, most of whom are civilians that had no involvement in the attack. What does that remind us of?
At this point, it doesn’t even matter what side of the wider Israel-Palestine conflict you’re on. You have to realise that the only thing Israel is going to achieve here is to radicalise more people. I mean, Christ, the leaders of Hamas, the ones actually responsible for the attack, aren’t even in Gaza.
Have we seriously learnt nothing from Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya?
On the right side of history but Humza Yousless is on the wrong side of reality. Israel isn’t going to agree to a ceasefire unless the hostages are released, Hamas is destroyed or they run out of munitions.
Reading these comments just makes me so sad. Its like being in the world news sub or Europe sub.
I thought the Scotland sub would have had more humanity. It’s hard to scroll past all the soul destroying videos of Palestine and Palestinians being massacred in front of our eyes.
I really hope this sub has been taken over by pro Israel bots rather than so many people being so pro genocide and shouting about Hamas, what about Hamas, etc etc.
I am glad this statement was put out. At least he was brave enough to go against a strong powerful country like Israel. In the Ireland sub they are proud they are calling out the actions of Israel but not in the Scotland sub.
Scotland being one of the few european countries to try to do the right thing, is refreshing to say the least.
Although the bar is pretty low, Israel has been getting free passes for decades of apartheid, crimes against humanity, illegal occupation…
Something tells me Yousaf, has never picked up a history book, let alone been on the right side of it.
