I know it’s not really an appropriate thing to say under the circumstances, but I can’t keep a straight face reading the BBC’s headline. Those two men summed up in a sentence.

While giving his backing to the plan in a press conference, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also reinstated his opposition to a Palestinian state - saying "it's not written in the agreement"

Re: 40 Killed In Hamas Attacks In Israel

A 'peace plan' for Palestine designed without any involvement by Palestinians.

Trump has maybe boxed Netanyahu in a bit - but Netanyahu also bounced Trump into unscripted support for continuing the destruction of Gaza if Hamas do not give full support to the 'plan' - the ultimatum.

The references to a future Palestinian state are vague, cynical and decorative. Two states on the 1967 borders means the dismantling of illegal settlements on the West Bank (including East Jerusalem) and the expulsion of 700,000 hard-core Zionists. There is no recognition of that requirement in the 'plan'.

There will be no role in government for any Palestinians - just continued occupation by Israel or Israeli proxies - but with some woolly hints about a reformed Palestinian Authority sometime in the future. The PA needs to be replaced, but the decision on what with has to come from the Palestinian people - not Trump, Netanyahu or Blair!

Netanyahu already unpicking the Trump 'peace plan'.

That Nobel Peace Prize is slipping away again!

Re: 40 Killed In Hamas Attacks In Israel

Ricky Hale (Council Estate Media):

The Labour Party has passed a motion at its annual conference, stating that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. The motion submitted by UNISON accepts the findings of genocide by the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry. It makes the following demands:

- the government “employ all means reasonably available to prevent the commission of genocide in Gaza”

- full arms embargo

- freeze UK-Israel trade/partnership agreement

- sanctions to enforce international law

- ban UK involvement in “aiding and assisting the genocide”

While the motion is not binding on Starmer, it means the official position of the Labour Party is in direct contradiction to the Labour government.

Starmer is not just in disagreement with the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry, and pretty much every human rights group and genocide scholar, he is in disagreement with his own party.

Farcical isn’t a strong enough word.

Re: 40 Killed In Hamas Attacks In Israel

Osasuna ‘ultra’ fans raised Palestinian flags and banners and brought their team’s game to a halt by throwing tennis balls onto the pitch in solidarity with the Palestinian people against Israel’s genocide. Soon after, they were joined by other fans, of both teams, across the entire stadium, chanting ‘Palestina Aurrera’ – ‘Forward Palestine’.
