Whatever anyone's views on the Israel/Gaza/Palestine/Lebanon/Iran situation I think we can all agree that ... Any Western political leader still saying "We must stop the region escalating into all out war" sounds like a clown still trying to drive a car whose wheels have fallen off whilst it's engine exploded. 40,000 dead in Gaza in the past year says the horse of peace has bolted, mate. One remembers at the start Joe Biden saying "If anyone's thinking of exploiting this situation... Don't". Absolutely no one took a blind bit of notice of him... I don't know what the solution is but they say stupidity is doing the same thing multiple times and expecting different results. And simply telling everyone to play nice and not to escalate things seems the dumbest policy available. Its really a way of politicians avoiding taking any side or position and of washing their hands... It sounds earnest but means nothing. Still we've done our bit shooting down missiles aimed at Israel. Will we be shooting down retaliatory missiles aimed at Iran as well? I suspect not but we'll sure expect them to believe we haven't picked a side...
