Would just like to say very loudly that ISRAEL IS A TERRORIST STATE, and pay homage to @BlippyTheWonderSlug who pops up every morning with this, on a daily basis, and has done so for a long time.

It's a fucking hostile power. Why is it being appeased like it's 1938?
Move fast. Move hard. Sanction it. Isolate it. Show strength for fuck sake. This fantasy of a return to 2020, like it will all reverse magically in 2028, will end in disaster and we all know what form that will take.
