Wonder if the CBC would be bold enough to ever interview this guy.
Hamas invaded Israel 2023

so he hides behind the group. Doesn't change my opinion of him at all but then again the only time he would arouse a cheer from me is after saying the words I quit. Interesting that all the other leaders are named except him. Or did I miss somethingIt’s an appropriate reminder, and it wasn’t just him- it was a part of the joint statement released by the White House.
Joint Statement on Israel | The White House
Today, President Joseph R. Biden, Prime Minister Trudeau of Canada, President Emmanuel Macron of France, Chancellor Olaf Scholz of Germany, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni of Italy, and Prime Minister Rishi Sunak of the United Kingdom spoke regarding the ongoing conflict between Israel and the...www.whitehouse.gov

Because West Wing staff told PMO to S(marten)TFU and get their PM on board the program. To add insult to injury of JT’s ego, WW staff ensured that the PM was de-personalized to just a last name…vice the personalization of those who were fully on board from 7 Oct.

Usually more and better armed !
Five times the Met Police stood aside during pro-Palestine protests
Only 10 people were arrested during the rally, where protesters scaled buildings and called for ‘jihad’ in Whitehallwww.telegraph.co.uk
Police pressure leads to pro-Israel rally being cancelled in north London
Event was due to be held on Saturday in Golders Green, a Jewish area of the capital
Compare and contrast
Christians and Jews plan to demonstrate and the police silence them.
Muslims demonstrate and the police escort them.
I reckon the police are just more terrified of the Muslims.

From what I’ve seen, when the first (or lead) organization in a group press release sends its statement, all of the other named organizations/govts/people‘s accounts repeat that statement.
The WH sent it out, so the PM’s account sends it too. The other leaders would do the same.
no, I didn't pay attention to his name, all I saw was the title, bad

A reminder, as if this'll make a difference, right?

Hamas, Islamic Jihad: Holding Hostages is a War Crime
Hamas and Islamic Jihad are committing war crimes by holding scores of Israelis and others as hostages in Gaza. No grievance can justify holding anyone hostage. The groups should immediately and safely release all civilians detained.

Even Amnesty International agrees...
Israel: Palestinian armed groups must be held accountable for deliberate civilian killings, abductions and indiscriminate attacks
Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups flagrantly violated international law and displayed a chilling disregard for human life by carrying out cruel and brutal crimes including mass summary killings, hostage-taking, and launching indiscriminate rocket attacks into Israel, Amnesty International said today. With evidence still emerging of the horrors that unfolded in southern Israel, Amnesty International will continue its investigations in order to determine the full range of crimes under international law.In Israel, more than 1,200 people – mostly civilians, including children – have been killed, and 2,400 have been injured since the attacks began in the early morning of 7 October. In Gaza at least 1,200 people, including children, have been killed by Israeli military retaliation. The recently intensified blockade which completely disconnected water, electricity, food and fuel supplies is exacerbating the already catastrophic humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Israel’s blockade amounts to collective punishment which is also a war crime.
Video footage analysed by Amnesty International’s Crisis Evidence Lab shows Palestinian fighters on the initial day of the attacks deliberately shooting at civilians and taking civilians as hostages. In one of the most egregious incidents at the Nova Music festival, at least 260 people were killed, while others are still missing.

I would hope so. Anyone trying to carve out some kind of exemption or more lenient application is going to f*ck up international law, which would be at cross purposes for any organization which claims a mission to uphold human rights and international law.
