I am not aligned to Cameron's politics, but support the Ukrainian effort on principle. Unfortunately, the same principles don't seem to apply to the significantly greater atrocities in Palestine.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I really hope I'm wrong but it seems that the only thing that has engaged you on Lemmy regarding the Russian aggression (rape, torture, mass execution of civilians etc) on Ukraine is that Cameron doesn't act the same way Israel/Palestine as he does with Russia/Ukraine?
If that's the case you're what the Russians call "an useful idiot".
This is the best summary I could come up with:
David Cameron will discuss strengthening Ukraine’s defences and finances against further Russian aggression with European partners in light of the continuing threat of the US Congress refusing to provide further financial support.
But Lord Cameron will raise how the European countries, including Poland, can increase defence production and accelerate plans to hand Ukraine the windfall profits from Russian assets seized by Europe.
Switching his gaze temporarily from the Middle East, he will visit Bulgaria on Wednesday and the newly elected government in Poland on Thursday in the run-up to the anniversary of the Russian invasion, and a G20 foreign ministers meeting in Brazil next week.
More European countries are expected to make bilateral security commitments in the next fortnight, a sign of continued support that is balanced by the growing threat of US isolationism.
At a meeting with fellow leaders in Munich the foreign secretary intends to focus on European defence production and the unique moral case for seizing the profits derived from frozen Russian assets.
Cameron, unlike one of his successors as prime minister, Boris Johnson, unambiguously regards Donald Trump’s possible election as US president as a threat to Ukraine and Nato but is intent on trying to influence the Republican party so its current isolationist mood can be tempered.

Deal with it now, don't be a Neville Chamberlain
