Give peace a chance - don't bomb it away

So, when is Sir Keir Starmer going to proscribe the IDF and IAF as terrorist organisations, coming after its attack on Doha, the state capital of Qatar?

While Israel has this paranoid aversion to Hamas, it is absolutely against international law to use that as an excuse to bomb a foreign state.

The big irony, of course, was that senior Hamas leaders were in Qatar to discuss peace talks.

In other words, Israel has destroyed the very vehicle to end the attrition between Hamas and Israel. Talk about shooting, sorry, bombing, one in the foot!

Early indications are that Donald Trump seems to have given his approval for this attack.
