  1. and Trump doesn’t have time to wait on any intelligence for any reason at all he needs to focus on being reelected right now

  7. The illegal Israeli "settlers" are currently engaged in ethnic cleansing of legitimate Palestinian residents – encouraged by Israel.
    War crime upon war crime by Israel.

  13. All mouth no action. He should open his eyes what’s happening in uk . Labour just cover up after cover up worse government ever

  14. Long overdue. The whole Israel needs sanctioning and UK supporters need to face legal consequences. They are not friends of anyone. Same goes for terrorist Hamas factions.
