  Are we surprised? You’ve all seen the list of members of ‘Labour Friends of Israel’, right? The entire political system is infested.

  Expected Britain was an active partner in the Gaza genocide this is just a continuation.

  Israel would use their own drones. Why use the RAF? Seems more likely it’s the UK gathering intel on what Israel is doing.

    israel and the uk are the same side

    they wouldn’t be flying over gaza/lebanon without coordination with israel, so it’s obvious reconnaissance for israel/nato

      The UK has been criticising Israel for attacking Lebanon though.

      Like I said, if Israel wanted recon they can just use their own drones. Seems like people are jumping to the conclusion that we’re gathering intel for Israel rather than collecting our own Intel to get an idea of what’s going on.

    RAF bases in the UK are used to load up US B2 bombers which bomb Iran. The UK is lockstep with Israel.

    Why wouldn’t Israel have a free spy plane fly for them?

      I’m sure Israel can spare a single drone to fly over Lebanon, they don’t need to use anyone else to do that for them.

  Baalbek? That’s an important archaeological site, horrible to think of the destruction of the world’s history for this bullshit war, in a way that will match or exceed the Iraq war. US troops set up on the ruins of a temple complex in Baghdad and immediately started shoveling sand into bags to make fortifications. Truly a disgusting loss to our shared humanity.

    If people liked ISIS bombing ancient heritage monuments then they’re gonna love Israel

    Not sure how many people like ISIS but let’s hope for Israel it’s a lot.

    Baalbak is a city with a lot of targets during any period of bombing. Mercifully the temple complex site has never been hit and it hopefully stays that way.

    They’re not above it though. They hit the archeological site in Sour/Tyre in the 2024 airstrikes though, and even though dozens of people and medics were murdered by then, my blood boiled white hot after that, I was angrier about it than the mass murder. I think the precision strikes on ambulances came after and those pissed me off even more though.

    It’s never a good sign when you have an internal conflict about whether you’re a good person or not because you’re more mad about a bunch of old rocks getting pulverized than people like you being murdered.

    They’ll fucking do it, they don’t care. They don’t think we’re people, they obviously don’t think our heritage matters, especially not in a poor city they routinely terrorize.
