Iain Dale on LBC Radio re Gaza hospital deaths.

'Civilian casualties happen in all wars, they happened in WW2/Falklands. In every single war there are civilian casualties. If you think well we shouldn't have any military strikes you're a pacifist. I'm not a pacifist'.

Deary me!

Bombing hospitals is a war crime. There’s no grey area there.

Israel just bombed the last remaining Christian hospital in Gaza, the Al-Ahli National Baptist Hospital.

More than 500 Palestinians killed — children, doctors, hundreds of patients and refugees.

How can anyone call this “self-defense”?

500+ now

Beyond sickening

Breaking: 6 killed & dozens injured - at least - as UN school hit by Israeli airstrike in Gaza (Sky News).

For the avoidance of doubt...

This is NOT self-defence!

Someone needs to explain how it's a war crime when Russia hits a hospital, but 'self-defence' when Israel targets four

How about bringing the number of Tories MPs down and thus raising the prospect of our economy not being a complete skip fire? 🤔

They've done it. Liberal democracy has triumphed in Poland. They've proved that Europe is not in an inevitable slide towards populism. Reason and liberty can fight back. And they can win.

Tories still haven't withdrew the whip from Peter Bone?

#BonerOut

Piers Morgan “Mohammed, do you condemn the Hamas attacks on October the 7th?”

Mohammed Hijab “Yes, I do. Do you condemn Israel killing over 1000 kids?”

Piers Morgan “I believe Israel has a right to defend themselves”

That answer should be on the tombstone of his career.

True story - Angela Rayner was pilloried for calling tories 'scum'.

Personally I admire her restraint.

Mind blowing

When you actually take a photo through a chair to make it look less like a staged pr exercise 🤦

I was not called by the Speaker in the Commons today in the discussion of Rishi Sunak’s statement on Israel & Gaza. I wanted to highlight the plight of thousands of Palestinian civilians, who have been forced to move south but have been bombed there & are without food & water.

And the Chuckle brothers had been told there were families of hostages in the gallery.

The Peter Bone case is another reminder that since 2019, there have been more Tory MPs suspended for sexual misconduct than voters convicted of ID fraud

Has anyone found this clause in the Geneva Convention that allows you to commit war crimes if the other side started it?

I'm not finding it anywhere.

Did I miss Sunak's announcement that Peter Bone has had the whip withdrawn?

Sunak basically says Israel bears zero responsibility for their own actions.

According to him if Gazans die due to dehydration after Israel cuts off the water it's not Israel's fault.

So if I'm the victim of crime I can now do whatever the fk I want because I didn't start it?
