Because over 40,000 people have been slaughtered, and because the US, UK and western democracies are funding the continuing war.

 

   Will you be provided evidence that the U.K are funding the current war ?

I made a false claim, the UK is not funding the current war in Gaza.

 

The UK is however continuing to supply the Israeli military with weapons.

   Just joining in with the constant Nazis comparisons and taunts 

 
Probably not a good idea Nick given your expressed view that innocent civilians in Rafah have no reason to complain when the Israeli military visit ‘carnage’ upon them.

 

There is no reverse gear on employing ‘Nazi ideology’ in discussions once the opportunity to accept and retract the grossly offensive nature of your post  has passed.

   Fair enough, but your link is behind a paywall .

The U.K manufactures and sells weapons to other Countries .

Weapons are used in wars and people die in wars

   Do stop twisting things around and its also against forum rules to misrepresent what other people say .

   What I did say was that numerous Western Governments issued a joint  a statement telling Hamas to free the hostages now , a reason for Western Governments making that statement is that if and when the IDF invade Rafah , Western Governments will say to Hamas that its their own fault for not releasing the hostages .

   Now, stop falsely accusing me of saying things that I haven't said , you have done it numerous times now ands it has got to stop

But the killing of aid workers, including 3 British nationals, in this war has become a political issue in the UK with demands for PM Sunak to halt the sale or arms to Israel:

   Those groups making the calls traditionally  oppose Israel and support the Palestinians , they are just using the deaths of the aid workers to further their cause

Because of course killing aid workers and British nationals is not something anyone needs to be concerned about.

   Why are British people dying more of a concern that other nationalities dying ?

Supply weapons to Israel only if they promise to only kill foreigners and non British people ?

In the context of UK domestic political response to the killing of those British national aid workers and the UK arms supplies to Israel.

 

Why do you ask?

   So a British aid worker getting killed is more important than a French aid worker getting killed ?

The UK should stop arms being sold to Israel because a British aid worker got killed , but can continue selling arms to Israel if a French aid worker gets killed ?

If you're British. Yes.

 

Every major country in the world sells weapons. Absolutely terrible.

   But it seems that only the weapons which Israel buys actually kill anyone

It not nice to fund terrorism!

Its even worse to fund organizations

that chant Death to America!

soros & a few others must be held accountable! The left is a threat to the Republic!

Pro-Palestinian protesters are backed by a surprising source: Biden’s biggest donors.

    Pardon .

What does that mean ?

Long live the profits ?

Exactly that ! The proponents of  war have most interest in both providing the means to conquer and also participate in at least  a share of the  spoils of victory.

In that respect given the  history of US  support in conflict in not only but certainly in the "middle East" the aspect of humanity  has always been secondary to profitable advantage.

Proper considerations of the many and complex  issues that are currently very relevant to the Middle East by way of the "Gaza War" and the deliberate  suppression of genuine political argument dismissed as religious extremism or  fanatical delusion is buried by a bought and paid for media owned by  corporate entities that are permitted to offer an alternative distraction from truth such as ? Facebook etc  !

The old but accurate of the donkey and carrot  is more than ever relevant !

The only question remaining is which is donkey and which is a vegetable?

I would claim humanist as a category that such as yourself  need to identify. Difficult ?

If so then the world need worry more!
