That caused the voter revolt leading to the loss of 1,500 seats for Labour? Ouch. Looks like Brits are more discerning about their choice for U.S. Ambassador than Starmer.

Probably both. And what is with the "unwavering" declaration that seems so popular with supporters of Israel? It's a dead giveaway. Unwavering means no limits including genocide.

Starmer has shown extraordinarily poor judgement since the start. Labour is right to want him gone.

Look at Lebanon this morning - the IDF deliberately killed two rescue workers and a civilian.

That's what did it, as much as those bombs made in the U.S.

Taking it further, to its logical if unpleasant conclusion, the road to Trump and Iran was paved with the bodies of the women and children and innocents of Gaza. And THAT is both tragic and infuriating.

5. Yes, and you and I care about that. But Iran has caught attention unlike those other other places.

From folks who were not so attentive before...or observant...or...

As if schoolgirls were not bombed in their schools and places of refuge for two years. Suddenly they are recognized as war crimes and atrocities and rightly condemned. And I am going wtf? So I make a point whenever I can!
