Sandwell Councillor defects to Reform

[Borin' Baggie]

It's not even a case of who to believe.

You can argue on individual incidents as to whether they happened in the way one side said it did.

But overall you cannot argue that the destruction of Gaza wrought by military bombardment will inevitably lead to the death of people, most of whom will be civilians.

You either think that's justified or it's not...propaganda is not relevant.

The morality of area bombing in Germany was questioned as early as 1941 and the deployment of atomic weapons against Japan in 1945 sparked ethical controversy - still does. I think the 400 miles of tunnels criss crossing Gaza storing weapons, ammunition, bombs, rockets. housing terrorists, with entrances/exits in schools. hospitals and mosques may be some justification.

Quite. I did mention the taking of Berlin on here many moons ago. That certainly wasn't pretty - but at least Britain had a spine in those days.

That was the Soviets and let's not hold them up as a bastion of morality shall we?

Ah, so the plucky Commonwealth & US forces didn't engage in any unwholesome activity on the route to victory? Right you are BB.

The Soviet advance to take Berlin was so brutal that Germans actively tried to surrender to the British to avoid capture by the Soviets.
