UK Politics
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! :'(

0:00 well I'm joined Now by Douglas Murray who's on the Gaza border Douglas let me ask you first of all why have you felt the need to go there
0:11 well I've covered every Israeli conflict since the 2006 Lebanon war uh I've covered lots of other conflicts as well and this one is obviously an incredibly important conflict it's one that is going to be crucial not just for Israel but for the region and I like to see these things first hand as you know appears
0:30 I do and I've I've read your stuff for many years about these uh kind of uh conflicts let me ask you what is your what's your feeling on the ground there I know you've been with some of the IDF what is your feeling about the motivation for this uh war from the Israeli side is it revenge is it something different what what are you picking up
well it's not Revenge I mean I think........
Then goes on to mention as many atrocities that Hamas did. I stopped watching..
What's your point?
Its the transcript from the video. It was just a stream of Hamas bashing while not blaming Israel for any of it. The guilt is on both sides.
