Israel has ‘gone beyond self-defence’ in Gaza | Wes Streeting



“I am not the only person in this country who has shed tears looking at images of the bodies of children and innocent civilians coming out of Gaza.”

Shadow health secretary Wes Streeting says Israel has gone “beyond reasonable self-defence” and an attack on Rafah would be “intolerable”.

  2. Very heartbreaking sickening to watch this. brought tears in my eyes and my heart felt pain watching this.
    What kind of people called this Israel have right to defend in this way.
    I don’t know how they called those innocent children, women and men terrorists when it’s other way round.

  3. maybe we should keep our noses outa foreign affairs hmm? who are we to tell other countries what to do? its why we left the EU because we didnt like it happening to us. you cant know the full story on the ground because there are so many miles in between us. and to be honest, i think most of the english people are sick and tired of your grandstanding, making things unfathomably worse with empty promises and decisions being made against our knowledge and most certainly without consent, diluting the voting power of the people that stand against you with that of people who break the law to be here, maybe sort out the invasion of england rather than focusing on israel, its not like people dont see how importing people, who have an active hatred of us, no interest or investment whatsoever in the ideals that formed british society, how this is destroying our own culture, our own futures, our livelihoods, our families. and we dont need defunct "reporting" agencies gaslighting us with worthless propaganda.

  4. Cynical. From the beginning -actually many decades before this current outrage – Israel has been ignore norms of civilised behaviour as embodied in international law.
    Labour supported Israeli war crimes which resulted in 5% of Gaza’s population being killed or maimed.
    Labour are unprincipled.

  5. The racist Israeli's can only play the-boy-who-cried-wolf anti-Semite card for so long that it becomes meaningless propaganda. It takes one apartheid regime to recognise another, for which South Africa has correctly identified the current right wing extremists in power to be.
    The Palestinians have as much right to exist as anyone.
    Times up. The game is UP.

  6. In a 1968 essay titled "The Territories", Leibowitz postulated a hellish future:

    The Arabs would be the working people and the Jews the administrators, inspectors, officials, and police—mainly secret police. A state ruling a hostile population of 1.5 to 2 million foreigners would necessarily become a secret-police state, with all that this implies for education, free speech and democratic institutions. The corruption characteristic of every colonial regime would also prevail in the State of Israel. The administration would suppress Arab insurgency on the one hand and acquire Arab Quislings on the other. There is also good reason to fear that the Israel Defense Forces, which has been until now a people's army, would, as a result of being transformed into an army of occupation, degenerate, and its commanders, who will have become military governors, resemble their colleagues in other nations.

  8. Labour has no backbone. Supporting SNP motion, who criticises Isreal and not condemning Hamas is hypocrisy especial its leader . It shows the weakness of Labour Party. Does Wes think Hamas give any thoughts about the Palestine people.
