[“For the first time in the history of the Israeli regime, Netanyahu is not present at the military meeting… The Israeli government has convened an emergency meeting of senior officials.
Absent from the meeting are:
Benjamin Netanyahu.
Air Force Commander Tomer Bar.
Mossad Chief David Barnea.
Minister of National Security Ben Gvir.
Iddo Netanyahu.
Iddo Netanyahu is the brother of Prime Minister Netanyahu. Ben Gvir is the main spokesperson of Israel, effectively the voice of the government. Note: The mentioned individuals have not appeared publicly for a long time, so there is speculation about murder… Scott Ritter claimed that Ben Gvir was seriously wounded, and Iddo killed. In recent days, speeches created with the help of artificial intelligence have been released instead of Netanyahu’s…“]
Hard to know what to think. Of course, if Netanyahu has really been killed, that would be a stunning blow to the Israeli side in this war.
The Israelis may soon discover what life in Gaza has been like for 2+ years.
“Occupation” is occupation, no matter where in the world it is.
Buy a coffee and (perhaps unwittingly) support the Jewish state. Better to boycott.
Or, putting it another way, the LibLabCon System parties (“uniparty”) were collectively scoring 48% 6 months ago, and are now scoring…47%. Oh…
In fact, even the present polling would still translate into a Commons with about 351 Reform MPs (solid majority), 70 Greens (very weak official Opposition), 64 Lab, 53 LibDems, 44 Cons, and 43 SNP [etc].
On those figures, Starmer-stein would still lose his own seat, incidentally.
As I have said from 3+ years ago, Starmer-stein is in the wrong job. Hopeless.
Starmer is trying to square a circle: firstly, to please his backers (the Jewish lobby and Israel, that put him in as Labour leader in the first place), while at the same time trying not to displease his Labour voters (Muslims, other non-whites, and socialist or pseudo-socialist English/British public service workers, many of which are anti-Israel).
