In 2024 global leaders including Joe Biden, Rishi Sunak and Emmanuel Macron publicly questioned the leadership of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Their criticisms came after the Gaza War reached a stalemate in March 2024 as Israel was planning an invasion of the Gaza City of Rafah. Western leaders insisted that all civilians should be evacuated from the city prior to an invasion. Netanyahu responded by saying that Israel is "not a banana republic" and doesn't listen to the other countries when security is on the line. Western leaders fear that if the Rafah invasion happens without an evacuation a further massacre of Palestinian citizens will take place. Israel political observers note that Netanyahu is incentivized to prolong the war since he will likely be voted out of office at its conclusion.

It is between that and choosing a state that's an autocratic theocracy whose laws discriminate against women, homosexuals and different religions. The Israeli state's values are more in lockstep with the UK values whilst also giving the UK a valuable ally in the region against antagonistic powers like Iran.

No, and should sanction dangerous people in power in the state of Israel, and either sanction (with exception of strict defensive equipment) overall military equipment to the state of Israel, until there is human and overall progress, or advocate for a more progressive Israeli acting government and political composition.

They should keep our collective noses out of foregin politics - whoever votes in their leaders, can vote them out. It's their decision and shouldn't be swayed by a third country. Even non-democratic countries have laws and traditions that are more tribal and when the west interfers, we screw things up for everyone! Only get involved when invited and when its to our mutual benefit.

No one should support the systematic ethnic cleansing that Israel is subjecting Palestinians to.
Netanyahu has been brainwashed by Zionism into thinking that only Jews have a right to the Holy land. The Allied countries, who after the war told the displaced Jewish people to go to Palestine, are as much to blame for the past 76 years of hell that the Palestinians have been put through, as anyone.
The time has come for everyone to admit this was wrong. Yes, it is, and was complicated after WW2, but the genocide needs to stop. The indiscriminate killing and torching of Palestinian homes needs to stop. A 2 state solution is the only solution and much stolen land needs to be returned.

Why would you??? Have you not seen the horror coming out of Gaza?? I have seen decapitated babies, babies with their stomachs blown open, toddlers with their scalp coming away from their skull, newborns with injuries from BOMBS, NEWBORNS!!! Once innocent babies/children and animals are involved, my heart is with you and everything should be done to shut it down. Their ‘leader’ is clearly (VERY obviously) a mentally unstable psychopath.

Uk should not be supporting warmongers
Uk should not be helping or supporting Netanyahu and israel they are commiting a genocide in gaza, starving Palestinians to death and in the west bank they're also living under extreme apartheid and in justice.
Also israel is carrying out a war against the Lebanese and Iranians which is not right.
