UK Finally Notices Israeli Genocide

With over 53,000 dead and the International Courts labelling it Genocide, the UK Government is very late to the table but they have come out and said that Israel has 'gone beyond just self-defence with intolerable attacks in Gaza' and are calling for Israel to commit to an immediate ceasefire.
Following the British, Canadian and French Governments issuing a joint statement condemning Benjamin Netanyahu's 'egregious actions in Gaza' and warning that the UK and allies will take: 'concrete actions unless he changes course', the UK has suspended trade deal talks with Israel, summoned its ambassador and sanctioned West Bank settlers in a bid to ramp up pressure on the country.
Attacks have accelerated in the Gaza Strip and international aid has been restricted for the last 11 weeks and Ministers are looking to go further, stating they are looking at further steps including sanctions against Israel and members of the Israeli Government.  
Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is tabling a Bill regarding the Royal Air Force (RAF) flying surveillance flights over Gaza, saying: 'We are witnessing a genocide, live-streamed before the entire world, and Britain's continued military co-operation with Israel is utterly indefensible and  the public deserves to know the full scale of the UK's complicity in crimes against humanity'.
Some Pro-Israeli MP's are warning that the Governments actions are sure to damage relations between Britain and Israel and i say good, hope it does because if you are siding with a country that is committing genocide and is openly declaring ethnic cleansing as a objective, then you are on the wrong side.
I fully expect the Israeli response to include the usual word 'Antisemitism' which they usually bandy about to try and shut down discussion of their murderous actions and how the UK is siding with Hamas but trying to stop the wholesale slaughter of a population has nothing to do with religion or even who is doing it, it is just morally bankrupt to not want to stop genocidal maniacs whoever they are.

"gone beyond just self-defence with intolerable attacks in Gaza" is not the same as genocide.

your little world is so simple. you pick a view you like and ignore everything else, all the complexities, all the history you dislike, all the geopolitical forces, all the human nature. you have narrowed down the situation to: "Israel is killing palestinians (so called)".

you ignore:
> the "palestinians" elected hamas
> hamas is funded by iran
> iranian leaders have often said they want to eliminate all jews
> other arabs and persians don't like the "palestinians" and are barely helping them and are certainly blocking them from entering surrounding arab nations
> Israel has been under constant attack by arabs and persians since 1947
> hamas put military posts in civilian places to gain support from people like you
> hamas put military posts in civilian places with support of the "palestinians"
> "palestinians" are not a race. they are not a nation. they are a bunch of people that were rejected by their fellow arabs (a race)

what shocks me is how many Israelis seem to think that if they are nice to "palestinians" the "palestinians" will stop hating them and hamas will stop killing them... we hear similar stupid views from American leftists.

I will ignore all the usual ignorant bluster you spew on this subject but will say it’s amazing isn’t it that people tend to hold grudges when their land is stolen and they are ethnically cleansed and have genocide committed against them for decades. Having your family killed does not lead towards a friendly outlook towards those who killed them I find.

it wasn't "their" land (presumably you mean the people you call "palestinians"). it was egypt mostly, and egypt lost it when they attacked Israel the DAY AFTER Israel became a nation again in 1947.

More predictable bluster to call bluster while denying a genocide.

more diversion by you. you want to be taken seriously but you don't understand reality enough to make sense. you are driven by the emotions of envy and fear, deep inside you know it, so you call envy, greed, and you call fear, compassion.

here is an explanation of hamas from a real geopolitical analyst, Kamran Bokhari:

"These negotiations have proved difficult because of two sticking points: the release of the hostages and the end of Hamas rule in Gaza (q - there it is in black and white. hamas rules/governs the area. notice the analyst doesn't refer to them as "palestinians").

The group, which has suffered serious losses in the war, likely understands it cannot continue to control the Palestinian territory for much longer (q - even though the people elected hamas to control the area)...

...Central to the group’s survival strategy is the assumption that Israel-inflicted suffering would so outrage the governments of the world that they would pressure Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to end the violence. Hamas also figured that the demand for the return of hostages would sow divisions within Israel.

But this strategy can only get Hamas so far – and Hamas knows it (q - in other words, hamas brought this down on the people of Gaza, with their support). Israeli decapitation efforts continue to shake its organizational structure (q - Israel isn't trying to wipe out the people in the area, they are trying to wipe out hamas, but it is hard to tell the difference). And though the pressure on the Israeli government has indeed grown, so too has the pressure on Hamas, which has undermined its own base of support (q - implication being the so called "palestinians" are on the verge of dumping hamas). The longer the situation continues, the more likely that Gazans will turn against Hamas. (q - meaning these so called innocent people still support hamas, and it also means they cannot easily be distinguished from hamas)"

ipso facto, the so called "palestinians" and hamas are one and the same...
