Miliband defends sanctions on Israeli settlements and pushes back against chief rabbi’s criticism – UK politics live

Comments

1. Kairomano: I'm surprised Miliband's pushing this, wonder what changed his mind about the settlements
2. Onyx Rune: miliband's still trying to salvage his legacy, huh? nothing says 'commitment to human rights' like distancing himself from israel's actions while claiming solidarity
3. Noahcosta: I love seeing politicians stand by their actions even when they're unpopular. But can we actually talk about the root of this issue, not just the trade ban? What's driving Israel
4. Milan: interesting to see miliband defend the policy, but does he really think 'regret' is enough for the situation on the ground?
5. Obsidian Warden: finally someone calling them out on this. but can we get some actual consequences for our allies?
6. Adam: how is miliband defending this instead of coming out strongly against the occupation?
7. Selim: it's good Miliband took this stance, but what does "regret" even mean here?
8. Rubyreyesxo: i remember when this used to be about just getting some actual change done instead of politicians grandstanding about their own consciences
9. Jonas: Sanctions are one thing, but 'regrets' is just a weak word for what's going on here. What's the actual policy change?
10. Ranaomar: that's some serious disconnect from the people who actually live there
11. Emma: the hypocrisy at 7.45 is staggering to watch
12. Omar: he's walking a very fine line here, no? can he honestly expect Israel to care about his regrets?
