Looks like the PM is happy to be an ICC puppet.

Anyone arrested Blair yet?

He DID commit war crimes IMHO.

 The great TTT:  they have all been legitimate targets.

what all 20 000 children ( dead in Gaza) - young terrorists then

righto!

isnt there a mod who comments " Bonkers"  ? I believe there is

[douglas9401]

No, perseverer, they'd be the party of law and order, of course.

[tomus42]

If someone has potentially broken a law we agreed to uphold we should probably arrest them. 

The courts will decide whether they're guilty or not.

Of course none of that will happen so let's not worry about it.

PP:"The great TTT:  they have all been legitimate targets.

righto!" - god you are thick, they were not the target you plonker. Collateral damage, it happens in war.

"you are thick, they were not the target you plonker. "

that's the thing tora. they could well have been. a trial is warrantef.

[ToraToraTora]

Yes untitled I know where your sympathies lie in this but ask yourself a question, why would he target civilians? It's normal for Hamas they openly say that any non muslim is a legitimate target but Israel is signed up to the GC so why would they target civvies? There is no reason strategically or otherwise. I accept they have been careless, heavy handed, perhaps going after legitimate targets knowing civilians are around but there enemy digs itself in among civilians like the cowards they are.

"why would he target civilians?"

because he is ideologically committed to the project of eliminating the arab populations and settling gaza with jewish israelis. 

[naomi24]

Untitled, where did you get that from?

[Khandro]

The Beano ?

[bednobs]

if the hamas leader were to come to the uk, you wouldnt expect the govt to ignore the icc ruling and not arrest him.  the govt would NOT be called an icc puppet.

[Ellipsis]

20000 children dead that weren't the target??? They either were the target or they're the most useless fighters ever, and we all know they're not the latter.

[naomi24]

If Hamas didn't make a habit of hiding in plain sight among civilians, the population might be a bit safer.   Try tugging at their heartstrings - if you can find them.

[Untitled]

"where did you get that from?"

from his coalition partners. ever heard of itamar ben gvir? bezalel smotrich? 

[naomi24]

So not government policy then.

[Peter Pedant]

thx untittled for the FT ref

[Peter Pedant]

but Israel is signed up to the GC so why would they target civvies? 

so why would they target 28000 civvies ? indeed

I think we have 28 000 "whoopsies" there !

It, I blush to say, stands to reason

[Untitled]

they are government ministers naomi. and very powerful ones too.
