Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
We won’t stop selling the other side weapons though… for…reasons?
Weapons pay for the aid.
of course, we must keep supplying the source of their misery, how else can we then help them out of their misery?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Royal Navy was ordered into action on Saturday to help supply desperately needed aid to Gaza, as the foreign secretary, David Cameron, warned that the Palestinian people trapped there were on the brink of famine.
With the UK and US governments under intense pressure to halt arms sales to Israel, Downing Street said on Saturday that ministers would instead boost support for a planned new maritime corridor from Cyprus to Gaza, to channel “life-saving aid” by sea to a population in urgent need of basic food supplies.
As part of the operation, first announced by Joe Biden at the beginning of Ramadan last month, the US, UK, EU and other partners will establish a new temporary pier off the coast of Gaza, where aid can be channelled straight into the blockaded territory without the risk of it being sent back at the border.
The WCK deliveries, which were unloaded at a makeshift jetty near the central town of Deir al-Balah that was constructed by volunteers from rubble, are separate to the US-led project for a temporary floating pier, which officials hope will be fully operational by early May.
Many legal experts believe the UK is breaching international humanitarian law with its prosecution of the war on Hamas, which, according to the health ministry in the Islamist-run territory, has led to the deaths of at least 33,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children.
The comments were in stark contrast to those he made a week after 7 October, in which he offered unconditional and permanent support to Israel and failed even to mention innocent Palestinians caught up in the conflict.
