In fact, it is the prevalent sentiment among voters now. It's called Bregret. I kind of doubt that Farag's reputation sparkles with the same cachet it once did among those once and future red wall voters. His promises and predictions are broken. This is his last hurrah.

Unfortunately, the good doctor's assessment of the low level of support for Hamas, contradicts what polling information there is: "A March 2024 opinion poll by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research showed support for Hamas among Gazans topping 50 percent, a 14-point rise since December 2023." https://www.foreignaffairs.com/israel/how-hamas-ends-gaza It should also be noted that the Kurds and the Israelis have very warm relations stemming from Israel's support for the Kurds in their struggle to create an independent Kurdistan. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel–Kurdistan_Region_relations#:~:text=The State of Israel and,missions in each other's territory. -

They should get back to us if and when the illness starts affecting the lungs. If bird flu ever becomes transmissible by air, that could be serious. Fortunately...oh wait a minute... Bird Flu (H5N1) Explained: Third U.S. Dairy Farm Worker Infected With Bird Flu—With New Symptoms Another human case of bird flu has been detected in a dairy farm worker in Michigan—though the cases aren’t connected—and this is the first person in the U.S. to report respiratory symptoms connected to bird flu, though their symptoms are “resolving,” according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. https://www.forbes.com/sites/ariannajohnson/2024/05/30/bird-flu-h5n1-explained-third-us-dairy-farm-worker-infected-with-bird-flu-with-new-symptoms/?sh=5f9509815d18 -
Diane Abbott Accuses Starmer of 'Culling' Labour Left-Wingers

So, you think that there's no significant statistical connection between local elections and general elections. The Tories just happened to suffer a major loss because of ?????????? -
Once your words are written, you don't get to be the final arbiter of what they mean. As for truth, as a general proposition the ruth matters. But the discussion was about motivation. And as I have repeatedly pointed out, Muslims have plenty of motivation for rage, regardless of their rejection of the truth that Hamas massacred Israeli civilians.

Please there was plenty of anger and denunciation being levelled at the Saudis. Admittedly, little of it came from the political right. And possibly the reason that the Israeli case draws more ire is that despite its relatively small population, in absolute terms Israel receives more foreign aid from America than does any other country.
