    Did you read that incorrect line on BBC live or the actual full BBC article? I read the article.

    I highlighted that specific part of your rant, he never demanded the UK government sanction Israeli ministers.

    That's your colourful interpretation, it's what you'd of liked him to have said.

    My "colourful interpretation" is a direct quote from James Landale (BBC Diplomatic correspondent), Grima ... so no 'interpretation' at all ...

    Anyways, I guess we can all agree and support Lord Richard Hermer KC'S affirmation that he would not allow political considerations to influence whether British police should arrest Benjamin Netanyahu, if the International Criminal Court demands he is taken into custody for alleged war crimes.

    Top man <ok>

    If you value data over emotion and confirmation bias, yes. Admittedly it’s trumped by flapping around for a quote off some KC no **** has heard of.

    I posted some data earlier and it got the response of a Panda chewing on a Bamboo shoot, so no it seems that data isn't valued. Soz

    He should have though.

    Even I'll readily admit that Smotrich and Ben Gvir are vile racist narcissists who need locking up.

    Lovely piece of work that man

    The ultra-nationalist extremists in Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet want to replace Palestinians in northern Gaza with Jewish settlers. Among many statements he’s made on the subject, the finance minister Bezalel Smotrich has said “Our heroic fighters and soldiers are destroying the evil of Hamas, and we will occupy the Gaza Strip… to tell the truth, where there is no settlement, there is no security.”

    Wasn't, but you'll never admit anything otherwise, so pointless chat.

    I like data. brb does brb things.

    I saw a response online to that chart when it was first done a while ago. Will try and dig it out but the gist was it’s incredibly misleading.

    Bit like the kill ratio I'd imagine.

    But yeah, any **** can manipulate data to make it suit their agenda.

    Whilst I would say that deaths to ballistics is expected in a conflict, where I felt Israel crossed the line and I said so at the time, was the cutting off of food, water and especially medicine to the strip.

    I think in 2024 placing an area under siege was unbelievable.

    Anyway, how come Sudan rarely gets a menshy, now that's a humanatarian crisis, that has to be the worst in the world.

    Thought people's attentions would be more on this, strange world...

    Armed violence in Sudan is putting children at risk.
    Famine has been confirmed in northern Darfur in a camp hosting 755,000 people displaced by conflict in Sudan.
    More than 15 months of continued conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces and Rapid Support Forces has created a humanitarian crisis in Sudan. Half of Sudan’s population – more than 24.8 million people, almost 13.6 million of whom are children – are in need of urgent assistance.
    Children have been killed, injured and displaced from home, and the conflict is disrupting critical services on which families depend. Sudan now has the world’s largest number of internally displaced people, with more than 11 million people uprooted by the conflict which began in April 2023 – 2 million more have left Sudan in search of safety.
    The situation for children in Sudan was already very fragile. Food security, health, water and education services were stretched. Now life-saving treatment and other health services are disrupted, and most schools are closed. The routine immunisation rate has fallen rapidly since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic – one in six children are completely unprotected from preventable diseases...
