General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

Wake up to the reality, modern Zionism is terrorism.
The IDF is the most brutal terror organization in the world.
Israel is the only country in the world that isn't allowed to bomb its enemies.
If any other country does it, it's to protect themselves. When Israel does it, it's "genocide".
It is allowed to bomb their enemies, and their families and their children, and their schools and hospitals.
They just all categorize them as enemy, which is the problem.
Summing up the situation as "bombing their enemies" only shows your ignorance or bias.
They are running a starvation campaign. They created a million refugees, then they carpet bomb the refugee camps. They destroyed almost all of the hospitals, schools, and places of worship in Gaza. They rape Palestinian prisoners, and when the rapist was going to be prosecuted, the populace protested and made him a social media star. The civilian leadership has called for the starvation and extermination of the entire population on hundreds of occasions. I could go on and on, the list of Israeli war crimes in the past year is horrendously long.
And now they aren't just attacking Gaza, they are invading Lebanon as well, doing the same war crimes.
These with crayons in their school bags?
Why is Hamas never blamed for using human shields?
Israel justifies nearly every attack on civilians that way
Human Shields
Hamas:
HRW on Laws-of-War Violations 2009
Agency Demands Full Respect for the Sanctity of Its Premises in Gaza - July 2014
HRW - Palestinian Armed Groups’ October 7 Assault on Israel
Israel:
Israel/OPT: Israeli attacks targeting Hamas and other armed group fighters that killed scores of displaced civilians in Rafah should be investigated as war crimes
HRW - Gaza: Unlawful Israeli Hospital Strikes Worsen Health Crisis
Additionally, there is extensive independent verification of Israel using Palestinians as Human Shields:
IDF uses Human Shields,
Including Children (2013 Report)
Israel “Systematically” Uses Gaza Children as Human Shields, Rights Group Finds 2024
Breaking The Silence - Testimonies from IDF Veterans
Deliberate Attacks on Civilians
Israel deliberately targets civilian areas. From in general with the Dahiya Doctrine to multiple systems deployed in Gaza to do so:

Where's Daddy
Israel also targets Israeli Soldiers and Civilians to prevent them being leveraged as hostages, known as the Hannibal Directive. Which was also used on Oct 7th.
