Now that the UK has recognised Palestine as a state, this opens legal routes for British members of the IDF to be charged in the UK

    UK politics really confuses me. How can they be this way about the people committing Israel’s genocide…while also treating the people protesting against Israel’s genocide like they’re terrorists?

    Are the folks in charge, all schizophrenic?

      Not the same people.

      This article is a legal opinion. Not a government one. The gov has not admitted that a genocide is happening. Risk of one is still the closest they have gotten.

      The current UK gov is consistent in their arsehollery if nothing else.

      Nope they’re just wind socks that blow in the direction of public opinion and private interests.
