This is the best summary could come up with: Killing innocent civilians is a legitimate war aim and the UK will sell you the bombs to do it. Because $$$$. Btw where is the envelope stuffed with cash? /s

That this evil pig fucker was made a Lord is a great argument for abolishing the aristocracy. And possibly also a sign that he's trying to become a Sith.

I don't understand the unwavering support for Israel. They don't like anyone but themselves. They don't care what anyone thinks of them.

They only care if you like them, Israel is the mean girl of nations.

Pretty much consistent for UK for centuries maybe except 1939-45, and don't ask for example Bengali about details of even that time.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


But Lord Cameron said ministers had “grave concerns” about humanitarian access in Gaza as he urged Israel to turn its commitments on aid “into reality” at a joint press conference with his US counterpart, Antony Blinken.

Downing Street has come under mounting pressure from senior Tories to suspend weapons exports in light of the growing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and after the deaths of three Britons in the strike on aid group World Central Kitchen.

The former prime minister said the Israel-Hamas conflict was a “different situation” from when the UK published a summary of legal advice before taking military action in Libya, or more recently in the Red Sea.

During his visit to Washington, which followed dinner with Donald Trump at the ex-president’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, Cameron told reporters: “I have now reviewed the most recent advice about the situation in Gaza and Israel’s conduct of their military campaign.

The UK’s arms exports regime would prevent the supply of weapons to Israel if there was a clear risk that the items might be used to commit or facilitate a serious violation of international humanitarian law.

Cameron refused to be drawn on the details of his discussion with Trump after making a surprise visit to the presumptive Republican presidential candidate’s Florida resort, saying only that it covered a “range of important geopolitical subjects”.
