The news anchor really should be better informed, during the cease-fire last year, the Houthis ceased all attacks, rendering her question completely redundant. Myriam Francois spells out where we're at now perfectly ... What about inflation? 😂 Yes, it’s the Houthi’s that are causing it. Sure. We shall see about that at the next end of year release of corporate finances. I wonder, how many massive companies will be talking about record profits and patting themselves on the back for screwing their consumers ever more thoroughly?

Just a man carrying a white flag so he can rescue some family members. Shot dead by "the most moral army in the world".
Anyone want to explain how Iarael is defending itself from hamas here?

Refreshing to see Israeli TV presenters with Iaraeli TV guests debunking some of the lies said in the aftermath of October 7th.
They must have been following Jackson Hinkle I guess. Better to listen to the honourable Sunak, Biden and Murdoch press for the truth instead.

I'm not sure what we stand for when an unarmed elderly civilian carrying a white flag is shot dead, in his own country, filmed by a British TV crew and we can't condemn it. Worse still we actively support the regime pulling the trigger.
Perspective totally lost.

It would be great for our democracy if new outlets like Double Down became more mainstream, there are many others out there and you don't necessarily have to agree with their output but it just puts a lot of the more established outfits to shame...... The Byline group definitely but the msm to shame. Yeah I don't agree with everything but much much better than the mainstream dross we have to endure. These are the types of issues new media outlets have to put up with though........

I am ashamed to live in a country that is enabling the barbaric, terrorist, Israeli state to commit ethnic cleansing and genocide. Our leaders have no morals.

Really dissapointed with this, so weak. I don't see how a single thing will change as result of the ruling. I can't seem to find which two countries' judges voted to continue the Genocide. Oh and here's a surprise ...

On one level yes, but they are fundamentally different to say the Somali Pirates that operated in the Gulf of Aden circa 2000/16. whose objective was pure piracy for ransom The Houthis have a Political Agenda They are Islamic Fundamentalists whose objective is to establish an Islamic Caliphate. One of the tactics they use is piracy against those they oppose, primarily US who they want to rid from the Middle East and Israel which they would like to obliterate. They are essentially a Iranian Proxy in the battle for Middle East Supremacy between Saudi Arabia (Sunni) and Iran (Shia) They are Shia but support Hamas (Sunni) because they have a common enemy, Israel Russia has generally tried to be Neutral in Middle East but that changed dramatically on October 7th because Russia has forged ever closer links to Iran not least because it relies on Iran to supply Military Equipment primarily Drones in its war with Ukraine This is notwithstanding that about 15% of Israels Jewish population 1.3M is Russian That's a potted synopsis of the complexities involved and why a wrong action could create a Domino effect

I was listening to a debate on the radio on the way home and it certainly split the callers.

UN orders Israel to prevent genocide. Israel calls UN antisemtic. UN suddenly are pro hamas the day after. Just the same trend we've witnessed for 3 months now. Call out Israel for murdering 10s of thousands of women and children. Get called antisemeitc. Get called pro hamas.

I’m pretty sure there’s proof that Israeli govt has lied and supported acts of terrorism ( esp West Bank) but we still seem happy to give military and financial support there. Muslims appear to be treated differently to the other terrorists in this conflict.

Do you remember this guy, Stewart Seldowitz, former White House advisor to the Middle East, who got quite a bit of coverage on here last November?
Well you won't be surprised to learn, he has had, despite being caught on camera displaying his vile rhetoric, all charges against him dropped ...

Am I missing something here? The UNs International Criminal Court ICJ issues an interim finding that a) Israel must take steps to halt killings in Gaza ( while it continues its investigation into potential Genocide and War Crimes by Israel and Hamas. It also put on notice 👀 any Countries that were facilitating these potential crimes by providing Military Aid) and b) has ordered Israel to allow Humanitarian Aid into Gaza. Israel must report back within one month on its progress On the same day Israel accuses *12 of **UNRWAs 13,000 Staff Members in Gaza of some element of unspecified involvement in 7th October Terrorist Attacks * If found guilty after investigation they should be tried for Criminal Acts like anyone else ** UNWRA a Special UN Relief Agency set up in the wake of the 1949 Nakba to provide Humanitarian Aid to 6 million displaced Palestinians in Gaza, East Jerusalem, The West Bank, Lebanon, Syria and Jordan In the wake of Israels allegations the US, UK, Australia, Italy, Canada, Finland, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Germany have suspended funding to the UNWRA which will make it rather impossible for any Humanitarian Aid to get into Gaza Why I'm perplexed is I've not seen any reports of those 9 Countries suspending Military Aid to Israel, US in particular who provides about $4Bn of Military Aid each year which facilities the killing in Gaza which the ICJ says must stop Perhaps I've just not kept up with events

Well this is potentially a bit of a game changer BBC News - UK considering recognising Palestine state, Lord Cameron says www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-68137220To go anywhere Netenyahu and his right wing cronies would have to be ousted from government but it's a big step in the right direction.

I think it’s probably too little, too late. I see this conflict expanding into another Syria-style proxy war. It might be late but it's hardly little. The UK formally recognising a Palestinian state would leave the current Isreali government isolated and go some way to defusing a broader conflict - it would put us on the same page as Iran and other supporters of the Palestinian cause.

This is a ballsy comment and exactly what is needed, including his comments on Humanitarian Aid. Not only would it be popular with Palestinians but also Israelis opposed to Netanyahu, sadly much less since October 7th It's hard to see Cameron becoming a Lone Ranger so he must have got the nod from the US, which is even better news. It will require a complete clear out of Hamas from Gaza for it to even have a chance of success I can see Starmer reaching for the handbrake to perform an abrupt U-turn to get with the programme
