Two wrongs do not make a right. The atrocious attacks of Hamas do not justify the collective punishment of the population of Gaza through starvation.
Many people, myself included, want our government to do more to solve the crisis in Gaza. Like it or not, our ability to speak out on this is limited by our need for trade with the USA, but, by not taking a harder line on what is happening, has meant that Trump appears to have listened to Starmer, at least until he got back to the USA and was told something else.
The UK has taken some actions before and has offered to recognise Palestine. But while many want the UK to talk about what is happening in Gaza, the UK, along with other nations, is planning to take action to try and limit the huge harm that is taking place. The aid drops will not meet the needs of the population of Gaza, but there is no other way for the UK (and allied nations) to deliver the food and water that Gaza needs.
Personally, I would rather the UK fed the people in Gaza rather than just said strong words like Ireland and Spain. Saying that, I would also rather that no strong words were needed and that Israel is sanctioned by the rest of the world until the Christians and Muslims in Gaza and the West Bank are treated properly.
It is a shame however that among the voices calling for restraint by Israel, one of them has referred to space lasers, and no doubt, this will be used by those saying that Israel should have a free hand to deal with the Palestinian problem.
