The fookin hypocrisy is just sickening !

[panafricangriot]

the fact that this is even a debate shows you how far gone as a society we are

[Samaa-oshx]

He didn't answer anything, sack him immediately

[bencmn]

Shame, shame on this government. Shame for failing to standup for justice and rule of law. Shame!!!

[aliflammim]

What’s the point of calling Nyahu a criminal by agreeing to arrest him but at the same time supply arms to Nyahu to carry on killing.

[threeone]

take those accountable to the icc. these idiots are leading this world into a dangerous place for our children

[joymastonebridge]

It's not justice it's political terrorism

Look and listen to his replies. Zero empathy. A souless drone.

Zarah is one of a literal handful in the House of Conmen's with any moral compass whatsoever.
Thank you Zarah for actually speaking the minds of the British people.

[oliverheywood]

Well said Zarah Sultana, thank you for being a sane and good person, and speaking for us, the people, in parliament.

[marcusdosh]

Labour just isn't good enough for humanity... Zarah Sultana you're way way to good for such a corrupt party

[mustafajama]

Deeply concerned but still supplying weapons make it make sense

[ndennant]

This is beyond absolute insanity. Britain wants a 2 state solution but won't recognise an independent Palestinian state? What does that actually mean in real terms?

[dom]

We all know Labour's history of participating in illegal wars. Why should now be any different.

[kieranclarges]

I am so sick of the answer "We don't answer hypotheticals."

EVERYTHING in government is hypothetical! It is literally their job to account for hypotheticals!

What will we do if someone invades? (hypothetical)
What will we do if the economy crashes apart? (hypothetical)
What are we going to do about climate change? (hypothetical)
What will we do if another pandemic hits? (hypothetical)

Are to think the government is entirely reactionary? That they don't plan for potential futures but instead just react when something happens?

Now when a politician says "We don't answer hypotheticals." All I hear is, "I dont want to answer that question, because you won't like the answer!"

"The question is what right we have to a democracy over here that exacts the price of Genocide in defence of apartheid over there? ". Ta nehisi coates.

International rules based orders or human rights legislation is only for those who we say they are for, Israel, uk and USA are exempt.

[stefanschouteden]

Those UK ministers are masters in spending a lot of time and money in absolutely saying f$&k-all!

[SlimMac]

Just say "We cannot comment on the illegal activities of our lap dog"
