I can picture the scene: Hamas all hanging out at an arms dump next to a primary school, all ready to commit another two or three massacres, as promised, but then they hear: shocked conversations run through the camp. Phones buzz. They begin unloading their weapons, decommissioning their howitzers. Someone arrives late. What’s happened? He asks, awestruck. They tell him: the leader of the British Labour party. They’ve called for a ceasefire.
Meanwhile, in Tel Aviv, Netanyahu looks up from a map of refugee camps in Gaza. His secretary is back again. He frowns. ‘This better be good’, he growls. But then, unexpectedly, even to himself, he softens as he sees the look on his secretary’s face. ‘What is it?’
‘Prime Minister’, she says, ‘two labour councils called for Keir Starmer to resign even though he’s just won two by-elections and he’s twenty points ahead in the polls—’
‘Any other leader would be,’ Netanyahu interjects. ‘But wait… a LABOUR council?!’
‘No, sir: two Labour councils. So of course, he resigned and called for a ceasefire.’
‘By gosh, we’d best cease fire in that case! Call off the attack immediately, there may still be time!’
The point is not that making a call for a cease fire will actually cause it to happen, but what is the stance of the future PM of this country. Will he unrelentingly back Israel in their war which puts millions of people’s lives in jeopardy, or will he work for peace?
The point is not what might actually happen but [symbolic gesture, contentious framing, more contentious framing, platitudes].
A ceasefire will do fuck all for the overall situation, it just saves lives now at the cost of future lives. Its just a liberal take that is no actual solution to the issue at hand. The issue being there are two far right wing, religious groups who hate each other and have no qualms with civilian deaths being a part of their hatred.
Since when are Labour’s values to not support killing Muslims? Pretty sure Blair killed a fuck load.
The first mosque was created in the 19th century in Britain. We had zero islamist terror attacks until after Blair’s war in Iraq.
Your history of Islam in Britain has a few holes. Perhaps you need to sit the next few plays out
Confidently incorrect lol. Maybe you should just sit out permanently
The Shah Jahan Mosque at Woking was Britain’s first purpose-built mosque. It was established in 1889 by the Jewish ex-Registrar of the University of Punjab, Gottlieb Leitner, with financial backing from the Begum Shah Jahan of Bhopal.

2005, 7 July: 7/7 central London bombings conducted by four separate Islamist extremist suicide bombers, which targeted civilians using the public transport system during the morning rush hour. Three bombs were detonated on three separate trains on the London Underground and one on a double-decker bus. As well as the suicide bombers, 52 other people were killed and around 700 more were injured. It was the UK’s worst terrorist incident since the 1988 Lockerbie bombing and the first Islamist suicide attack in the country.
