For london voters

[scaramanga]

Ok the West Bank is not part of Israel then. So what are Israeli citizens “settlers” doing there? What is the IDF doing there? Why does the IDF protect those “settlers” even when they are committing crimes against the West Banks Arab inhabitants, forcibly removing them from their land to build new settlements.

The IDF are there because it was agreed during the Oslo Accords that they would share security to various extents in various zones.

And the rest of the questions about the settlers?

No idea what any of this has to do with london voters.
I'll leave you to it.

Expanding a safe buffer between Israel's towns/cities and people who wish them harm.

Not my preferred solution of course. I think everyone in the area would be safer and better off if afforded the protections and benefits of Israeli statehood.

just get Hamas out of the fudging place and technically terrorism would cease to exist in Palestine. I’m certain the people of Palestine are sick and tired of conflict caused by the Islamists.

True, but many of those same people who (rightly) called Tommy Robinson racist also accuse Nigel Farage of the same, despite him refusing to have anything to do with Robinson because he's a racist.

Of course because people from his past are making claims about his views on Hitler (being positive) which throws shadows on his character. As a politician I think we are right to test how robust his "I'm not a racist" is, just as much as we do with Reeves claims her LinkedIn is legit....

Of course testing it is important, as with any other politician.

There are as many from Farage's old school claiming the opposite BTW. The most damaging tales have been told by some leftist arty type for whom extra publicity and solid leftist credentials will do him no harm.

I usually find it best to judge people on their actions. I've never been much of a fan of Farage but I remain utterly impressed by his refusal to take a large donation from Musk as it would have meant associating with Robinson. I think that kind of action says a lot of positive things about his character.

Getting rid of Hamas is the first step towards a lasting peace in that area.

That was precisely what Israel were trying to do when the rest of the Western world collectively lost their balls and started screaming for peace.

Hamas are not in the West Bank if anyone doesn't see how stupid some of the posts here are.

Er, probably because Nigel is a politician with big ambitions...you cut your cloth accordingly, sans honesty and morality. He's only serving himself.

That association would have come with a donation that would dwarf anything any other party could earn.

Any party, no matter their politics, taking that donation would have formed the next government.
