I wouldn't normally post Times articles but they seem to be the first to run this bit of rare good news.

They publicly condemned Israel, committed to arresting Netanyahu if he ever came here, sanctioned much of the Israeli parliament, refused to join the US/Israel in attacking Iran, ramped up humanitarian aid for Palestine, stopped weapons exports to Israel, and formally recognised Palestine.

I struggle to see this rabid support of Israel that Lemmy posters always seem to talk about.

Nope. They publicly supported Israeli "right" to starve Gaza, criminalised the support of a direct action group that opposes the genocide, continue to arm Israel, allowed Israel to attack British boats and kidnap British citizens sailing on them, continue to fly spy planes for Israel and refuel their planes at Akrotiri.

The UK government is complicit in genocide.

No. They proscribed a group that ram raided factories with workers inside, advocated for genocide, trashed businesses for having Jewish owners, smashed a policewoman's back while she was incapacitated on the floor with a sledgehammer, and broke into an RAF base and destroyed the engines of two jets.
