    Thank God we have officials
    Wouldn't have known otherwise



    Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has been shot a number of times in what officials are calling an assassination attempt

    Interesting to see Suella Braveman try to converse with the masked-up zombies camping for Gaza in Cambridge. None of them could muster a reply, let alone an argument. Sincerely hope most of these brain-deads were not students, or the future looks bleak.

    And do you think the Neanderthal approach would win the public to your cause, Bob, bearing in mind your exchange is televised?

    What distinguishes democracies from fascist states is the willingness of opposing parties to converse with each other, argue their case and seek to persuade.

    Maybe you could persuade Braverman to go jump off a cliff Bob?

    Was hunting ISIS down about revenge? No, it was about destroying a psychopathic terrorist organisation. So, too, Israel's war against Hamas. Most Gaza inhabitants support Hamas.

    Indiscriminately killing 30,000 people, mostly women and children, is not legitimate warfare. It's revenge killing.

    Hamas live in underground tunnels and use Gaza civilians as human shields. No nation on earth would go in and do half a job against a terrorist organisation like Hamas, particularly with Hamas holding hostages.

    Guess I’m not reasonable then. Hoping they completely blitz the ****hole once any live hostages are recovered.

    No they don’t. Only about a third do, both in Gaza and the Left Bank. Low key survey in the Times today.

    Hamas is a horrible totalitarian organisation. To assume that all Palestinians support it is like assuming that all Russians support Putin, or that all Israelis support Netanyahu. Might suit your narrative but doesn’t mean it’s true.

    How many of the hostages have been killed by Israeli bombing? They even shot three who emerged waving white flags.

    Do you really think it's possible to eliminate Hamas? Would it be legitimate to kill all 2 million Gazans to be certain they'd got them all?

    Brentwood seems to think that it would be....

    I'm afraid in my opinion you aren't reasonable on this topic.

    70% of Palestinians approved of Hamas's attack on Israel. That figure is widely quoted by numerous sources. Ignore that if you like.
