James Cleverly: 'Any idiot' can give an opinion on Middle East without proper info

Israel has to act with 'professionalism and restraint' and within the bounds of international law, according to James Cleverly.

Mr Cleverly was the second of the four Conservative leadership candidates speaking on Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips.

Looks like we are all idiots then if we have an opinion..😂
Remember when we were told by our government that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and they didn't? Remember when the government told us it was necessary to send troops to Afghanistan? Who are the idiots? 😂

James Cleverly presenting an accurate and insightful portrayal of himself. He unquestionably lacks both the authority and the moral integrity to lecture others on the true situation in the Middle East.

[ndennant]

Wasn’t he Home Secretary for all of 2 weeks?

[wickerbathtub]

Someone ask him what happens to a politician who leaves the fate of his career in the hands of Grant Schapps?

Competent defense blocks attacks. These days, blocked attacks seem to count as “nobody tried.” For years, in parallel but different circumstances, I used to ask “nonhostiles who never tried”, “Has ‘we missed’ become proof of ‘we never tried’?” It used to be that defense was important, as the responses of media evidenced for day or two after a coalition blocked 300+ Iranian missiles and drones. But, soon thereafter, the more recent mindset kicked in, and the defense was taken for granted. Similar to years of missile attacks out of Gaza and Lebanon, being blocked by Iron Dome, mattered hardly at all.

This International Law, is it only to Israel that it applies or does it apply to both Hamas and Hezbollah? If yes! Why has the United Nations Organization not condemned the October 7th terror attack on Israel by Hamas openly?

Pitiful.... they tell so many lies that they actually start believing them, but do the general public really care who carries on mis-managing the conservative party ? I think not 😉 I felt a genuine sense of relief when it was certain they were finally removed from office ( and I am traditionally tory !!! ) 😮

[James-win]

Well if anyone should know about Idiots its old Dimly.

[JonasNyenstad]

Let's review why Israel is surrounded by countries that want to harm them... Shall we? We might learn some unpleasant facts about our ally.

[BlessingsSilanga]

Iran warns there's gonna be more warnings

[RobertBrown-decw]

No he’s not the right leader for the conservatives

[vexkiddy]

Sky talks to the conservatives as if they sre still in power!

[full__tilt]

James Cleverly on “speculating or guessing” is double speak for not being advised on what to parrot. Cowards!

[MilankaMilosevic-lu]

Millossevick : James !, in our opinion, James, we should just IGNORE events unfolding there, like, we have other problems on our minde, like, Keir Steirmer s Bigg Black Hole, or, our health care system unable to usefully cooperate with patients having illness called "ME" etc ....

[denbrown]

Cleverly is living proof that any fool can make stupid comments even when they have the right information. What a dope!

[riversidegardenradio]

There is a connection between what is happening in Ukraine and what is happening in the Middle East, because what the world is missing is the humiliation that the west as suffered in Ukraine where they had to back down in granting permission to Ukraine to use western weapons in Russia . That in my opinion is winning without firing a shot. I would not be surprised if these aircraft being used against the Lebanese are not been flown by Israeli's. The Russians have demonstrated to the world that they cannot lose in any conflict because they maintain escalatory dominance and as everyone knows no one wants to die. This means narrative have to change so everyone is talking about the middle East while F16's are being destroyed and NATO forces are captured in Kursk.

[UltraPerception]

VOTERS ARE NEVER WRONG. REFERENDUM ON CONTINUED DIPLOMACY WITH ISRAEL.
They are a sovreign nation, and they are in a world where they can go and buy

So
GO AND BE.
BE A MAN.

[waeljallad]

Replaced by David Cameron,

Braverman comments about police

[bhobbs]

Yes even idiot MP's because that what we got in power.

[earnestequivocation]

Yeah Kemi Badenoch’s idiotic opinion was that Israel was acting with what she called ‘moral clarity’ - that’s, presumably, code for indiscriminate slaughter……
