The sooner this country gets a prime minister and government that knows how to govern the better |  |

UK to recognise Palestine in September unless certain conditions are met on 17:39 - Jul 29 with 1257 views | Swansea_Blue | Why is Starmer conflating Hamas with Palestine? Anyone criticising all of Israel because of Natanyahoo’s crimes would be considered an anti-Semite. It makes no sense. Although…is this a way of leveraging the hostages to force Israel to accept a two state solution? It could be a master stroke if it works, but I’m not holding my breath. [Post edited 29 Jul 17:45]

Don’t knock it. UVF has been a lifesaver for many couples who couldn’t have kids through natural ‘means’. I’ve obviously offered to step in and provide the natural ‘service’ several times (who could refuse?), but for some reason it only earns me slaps. |  |

The posts on this short thread already show the bind Starmer's in. I don't see how this rewards Hamas and they're already dug in, but equally, the deliberate starvation of 2m people can't go unchallenged. If you want to blame someone for this, blame the Isreali govt. |  |

In what way doesn't it exist? There has been a Palestinian government since the 1990s. Nearly three quarters of other countries recognise Palestine as a state. |  | |  |

Personally, I'll doubt I'll ever be able to think of Israel as anything other than an den of evil now, that's what this has done to me (not that that is relevant) much as my grandparents could never think of Germany as anything other than a den of evil. It's not fair on a proportion of the population of that sorry country, but then again they do have a democratic system. The constant lies from the mouths of their official representatives and their foreign sponsors, contrary to all the obvious evidence, makes me sick, sick sick and wonder if they have come to lack any semblance of even a basic human decency. |  |

I'm not sure what else it could have ever been, given we don't run the world anymore. Maybe I'm taking pragmatism too far, but why not try to leverage what little power you have? |  |

We could have just recognised them without any conditions, like most other countries have. I think it reflects pretty poorly on the UK government that we are not willing to recognise Palestine because it's the right thing to do, but to punish Israel, and that if Israel does what we want, we won't grant them recognition. |  | |  |

I get what you're saying and you're probably right. But at the same time if he'd just announced the recognition now, what would it achieved? If he can get something out of it, or at least make a point about the Israeli govt's behavior then isn't there more value in that? |  |

I mean do Hamas even exist as an entity any more ? Surely leaders are now dead, arms destroyed. I can’t see how Hamas functions in any way now |  |
