Netanyahu promised to “get the job done” at the UN. [1] He explained that October 7 must never (emphasised) be allowed to happen again. Of course; a repeat of October 7 could have been achieved by simply beefing up security around the Gaza prison on October 8. You don’t need to massacre and starve tens of thousands of people to make sure that October 7 never happens again. Who believes this stuff, delivered as it is, by someone dripping in fundamentalist entitlement, speaking with a backing chorus of Ministers who make it quite clear what they are about – chasing the animals, including the civilian ones, out of all or most of what remains of Palestine and claiming it for themselves?
He also tries the most moral army in army world line: “persuades civilians to get out of harms way”, a line slightly undermined by the recent report that currently 15/16 murdered people in Gaza are civilians. [2]
And still, the UK can do no more than block some of the arms sales and issue meaningless and empty acknowledgements that the genocide, (or mass war crimes, take your pick), is horrible.
