It's crazy and clear they are going against the majority of their people.

Despite some of the vocal people on here, most people are horrified by what is going on - I'm sure it's the same throughout Europe

I'm a shades of grey person normally, but this is black and white wrong what is happening, with the thinnest of thin lies and absolute nonsensical horsh*t justifying it. That starvation is being used against millions of people by "one of our own", and all of our politicians are enabling it, is mind blowing.

Our politicians in power in Europe, who are supposed to show at least a trace of common sense and morality, are abandoning it all to go along with this evil farce.

What's most disturbing about this is the inaction of the like of the UN and EU. Israel do not own the coast of Gaza. The EU should send in supply ships under military guard and allow the UN to set up distribution of food and water. Tell the Israelis in no uncertain terms that any attempt to stop it will not be tolerated.

What are they going to do. A country of 7 million people holding the whole world to ransom. Instead we'll send thoughts and prayers and watch as hundreds of thousands of people die. Our leaders, right across the EU have no morality. They get shat on by the US and they ask for another plate. They roll over for a country who does nothing for the rest of humanity except bring misery and fat cheques for a chosen few.

Yea and look I'm having a rant, obviously not saying we need to deliver aid using balistic missiles.

My point is they aren't some all powerful omnipotent country. They are a country the size of munster with a few million people living in it, they shouldn't be able to kill torture and starve people in order to annex their land, and there isn't a single country or group of countries can do anything about it.

I don't understand how an obvious solution of giving food to ease starvation, which is a universally moral concept, is being shouted down in every government in power in Europe/ Asia / Africa / Americas.

I am right watching a news conference from the US, singing the praises of last Fridays bombing mission to Iraq. They are it seems looking for praise adoration and admiration for their audacity - Mr Hegseth has gone loopy on the possible leak and spoke passionately about the ‘stupidity’ of the most of the media for not being suitably admiring.
He glorifying of the attack which is right now on most news stations is waving their ‘achievement’ in front of the Iranians - who also look at TV -

methinks this petty, small minded warmonger doth protest much too much.
