    The UK didn’t view Ireland as an existential security threat like Israel does with it’s neighbors (or say like Russia does with Ukraine).

    This is already being compared to Pearl Harbor, which if you recall, ended with millions of dead Japanese (and even then Japan was not viewed as an existential threat). I don’t think it especially likely here, but you have already seen how the western propaganda machine can rewrite not just genocide but wholesale population extermination as being justified on spurious claims of ‘self-defense’.

    Look, if I’m wrong and if turns out that this does improve things for the Palestinians celebrate that, then. But maybe put away the champagne until the bodies are counted.

          lol, “I was just asking questions! I wasn’t actually attacking people for expressing support, everyone should have known that my questions were a non secuitor that is completely unrelated to what I was replying to!”
