Middle East Conflict

At least watch the video before you come out with this shit.

I gave it a few minutes.

I don’t know how far left you want a Labour part to be, but we need one that is electable.

Whilst I admire your principles and wish we had a more social democracy vibe, it isn’t getting voted in here anytime soon.

YoI aren’t willing to compromise, which is admirable, but it also leaves the overton window further to the right.

Those on the right aren’t as “pure” as you are. They can hold their nose and vote for their party still.

There isn‘t ever likely to be a party you agree with in power. Therefore, you are either an idealist, or you are someone that votes to make life less bad for as many as possible.

I think you need multi seat constituencies with Proportional Representation.
Much more representative of the community’s diverse views.

The irony is that Lula watered down his policies once in power and isn't actually considered Left-wing by serious commentators (i.e. not the type who are hunting for reds under their beds).

He's basically the Brazilian Biden without the slurred speech and diapers.

This is cringe and weird.

Bare minimum but this may be as good as it gets.

He could have said this was in a vacuum.

Easy to see how both sides, and what they represent, are despised by much of the world, both now and historically. Religious and racial division at its worst, with each party supported unconditionally by the usual suspects.

They are both committing atrocities and will reap what they sow.

You definitely see the worst in humanity on both sides. But also the very best.

The quicker it’s resolved the better though, the longer those people are being hidden in a war zone with 30,000 Hamas militants, and a civilian population getting bombed 1000 times a day, the more likely something awful will happen.

Assuming it hasn’t already.

Apologies to @domalino I was wrong and out of order.

We all go too far sometimes, mate. Easily done.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

You ain’t got the numbers mate.

Hope you are well x
