Children are affected by what is around them. What the Palestinian children of today see is death and destruction that they won't forgive or forget.
It is decades of Israeli oppression and apartheid that led to the horrific events of Oct 7. Israel is hated for their actions.
The government wants justification for its war on Iran. I don't believe there is any real threat at all, and there never was.
We need new leadership. For too long has Britain been fighting America's wars.
These wars are usually unprovoked, resulting in death and spiralling costs that could have all been avoided.
Hegseth: "The only ones who need to be worried right now are Iranians who think they're going to live"
Can't quite see him drop it but I don't expect him to care about the land he lives on.
It is simple. Cut out the natural gas and energy prices will plummet. Not only does NG rely on geopolitics but it also comes with a longer supply chain.
NYT report confirms that US Strikes killed 170+ schoolchildren in Iran
Shame on all the cruel and calloused people in my comments lying that it was Iran who bombed its own children.
170 Iranian schoolgirls and children dead. Massacred in the most horrific manner imaginable. Committed by the United States and Israel. Paid for by US tax dollars.
This is a war crime.
Iran never was the threat America and Israel wanted you to believe, despite their disgusting regime.
That's one way to ensure their world is rocked.
Yeah but... Look over there!
This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

I'll take my chances. Labour has made some positive strides as well as negative, but overall, they haven't made any effort to bring unity or save our public services.
The poor continue to get poorer while the rich get richer. This needs to change.
There is rarely a right side of war. Defense is necessary but starting pathetic wars makes you evil and cowardly.
I'm looking at you, Russia, Israel, and America.
Dear Shabana, I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank. You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to make a perilous crossing on small boats.” I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division. When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney. As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I filled water tanks and picked up litter. What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country. Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it. It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and croissants to refugees and food parcels. When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers whilst risking death on the seas.” She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …
Dear Shabana,
Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.
It's about restoring Iran to pre-1979. America cannot tolerate being disliked for their past actions in Iran that they need a regime change to boost their own fragile ego.
The fuck kind of answer is this
Nobody has to die, but death and destruction is all he knows.
I am now in my 55th year of being an imminent millionaire.
Since the 1979 revolution, America has wanted a reason to kill the regime.
The recent Iranian protests served as their reason. It's not about the people, it's that America is weak and cannot tolerate being disliked for very valid reasons.
It's been 47 years since the Islamic Revolution that overthrew the Pahlavi Dynasty, the one that America gave total control to.
America fucked with Iran in 1953 which would have created some enemies. Iran wasn't a threat and even if they were, America did this to themselves.
It should be simple yet many do not understand. I'd much rather accept Iranian refugees than to senselessly cause suffering to millions across the middle east.
Zack on Laura K
The Green Party has been consistent on our position.
We support the Iranian people in their struggle against the brutal Regime.
And we oppose illegal bombing from the USA and Israel that has already killed countless civilians and risks an all out Regional war.
No, no they would not have and even if they did, there are quite a few crazy leaders with nuclear weapons right now.
I can think of four.
It would be peace for the American government if all critics of America ceased to exist.
Wouldn't be peace for many other nations though.
They.
Just.
Lie.
Two sides of the same coin. Democrats would be so much better if money wasn't involved at all.
McGovern: How the hell is this America first? You guys broke your top campaign promise. Good luck with that. I hope the defense contractor money was worth it. Shame on you all. The mask is off. You're all just a bunch of pathetic Neocon Warmongers.
Ain't nothing about either of those two. Trump may not have their support, but some other awful man will.
Oh, look, an English "nationalist".
No more illegal wars. Introduce a prevention of military intervention act and put human rights at the heart of foreign policy. Review all UK arms sales and make us a force for international peace and justice.
The majority of people in this country do not want us to be involved in this war.
Keir Starmer of a few years ago wouldn't have supported this war.
The only reason he does now is he will do anything Donald Trump wants - and it makes us all less safe.
