Sandwell Councillor defects to Reform

[Fido]

Why didn't you include a single Palestinian child on your list then?

Because there are gradations of innocence. As far as I am aware the Manchester Arena, Lower Manhattan, Bondi Beach, Russell Square and the Nova Music Festival were not active war zones when they were attacked.

Are you implying that they were / are legitimate targets? Of course you're not.

But after October 7th, what would you have had Israel do? Nothing?

So because someone declares a place a war zone, children become acceptable and unequal victims of  violence? Crikey.., and I’m told to respect your opinions.

And neither is it acceptable for a force pretending to act in defence of such people use them and the hospitals they may find themselves in as human shields from which they can launch their violence. I'm sure no-one thinks the extent of the devastation caused by Israeli forces is anywhere near acceptable either, of course, I hope that goes without saying but, you know, sometimes you have to state the obvious in case people infer something else.
