I was about to say I wonder if they'd be pissing their pants this much if people instead chanted "Death Death to the VDV" but then I thought actually they probably would because America is in bed with Russia lately, they'd be all "Stop being mean to Russia!". Personally, I think it's a fucking joke that Keir Starmer and Republicans are more upset by some aggressive words than the actual genocide the IDF are committing, they are openly admitting now to shooting innocent people and Keir/Republicans are crying about people chanting death to a military group who are committing genocide, what a fucking embarrassment, history will remember the side these sickos chose.

Also what are they fucking panicking for? What do they think the crowd of Glastonbury is going to now take a flight to Israel and march on the IDF military bases? Lmao. It's more of the same shit, absolutely no criticism towards the IDF/Netanyahu is allowed and even the slightest bit of criticism is labelled as antisemitism which is antisemite in itself because they're essentially saying all Jewish people are the same, they all are some collective single body who all agree with what Netanyahu and the IDF are doing. Being anti-IDF/Netanyahu is not anti-Jewish.

It looks like they are succeeding in getting this rapper cancelled, he is being punished for simply having a visceral reaction to seeing children's limbs and heads blown off for two years straight. 

I could literally make a movie out of all the videos the IDF shot in celebration of targeting and bombarding civilian structures and shamelessly posting it on TikTok and Twitter. So what if some hippies chanted death back at them? Does saying death to Isis make me a Muslim-phobic? Get the fuck out of here.

The BBC and Kier could have used this opportunity to stand up for free speech and shame the right for their double standards, such an easy win this is, but nope, he's joining in on it. 

Keir is a pathetic fence sitter when it comes to America, sometimes a outright supporter, he would sit on the fence even if America invaded Greenland. It's so frustrating because his restoring relations with EU has been brilliant, his leadership in regards to Europe/Ukraine and standing up against Russia has been brilliant, he is making good progress on trade deals but his stance on Israel-Gaza is dogshit and like Blair he is turning the UK into America's dog. I was getting major Bush-Blair vibes when Israel-Iran was kicking off.

Keir's Labour isn't even left, the dude is obsessed with culture war nonsense barely anyone cares about in an effort to try to appeal to voters who will never vote for him and getting involved in these pointless debates. Right now we have two right wing political parties (Conservatives and Reform) and Keir's bright idea is to try to be the 3rd party competing on the right when there's a massive empty chunk on the left/centre-left which is only Greens and Lib Dems and Greens are basically irrelevant.

How I wish Lib Dems achieved enough votes to be the opposition party over the useless Conservatives. Come next election, unless I have to tactical vote to make sure a Conservative or Reform doesn't get in, I will be voting for the Lib Dems. Keir's Labour has lost me unless they make some drastic improvements between now and the next election.

American Conservatives are attacking our country, talking shit about our government, making up nonsense about freedom of speech being infringed on just because we don't allow dickheads to protest outside of abortion clinics, attacking our allies, and Keir just sits there with a blank expression on his face and does absolutely nothing to stand up for the UK.

Is JD Vance going to lecture us on free speech again!? Now that we're launching an official investigation into mean words uttered by a rapper on a stage while partying, this would be a good time to chime in, couch boy.

what a news cycle this is. Fucking hopeless.

Republican hypocrisy, they are now the party who gets the most upset by words, but we always knew they were a bunch of hypocrites, free speech for them but not for anyone else, can't even enter America now if you criticise Trump, Lmao. And they want to get upset about a rapper chanting death to a genocidal military? Oops, I've now been banned from entering America.

US approves $510m worth of arms sale to Israel

The US has approved a $510m arms sale to Israel, with the deal including thousands of bomb guidance kits, the Pentagon announced.

In a statement, the US Defence Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) said the sale includes 3,845 Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) guidance kits and additional guidance kits for the MK 82 bomb.

“The United States is committed to the security of Israel,” the DSCA said, adding the sale “is vital to U.S. national interests”.

The principal contractor will be Boeing, based in St Charles, Missouri.

The deal comes amid heightened international scrutiny of US military support for Israel, as civilian casualties in Gaza continue.

These MK 82 (500 pound) bombs are not for defense...

Correct, they are not defensive weapons, I believe Ukraine uses JDAM bombs as well.

Speaking of, Ukraine has been begging America for months now for new military equipment and saying that they would pay for it and Trump just keeps repeating "We'll see" but instantly approves a sale to Israel, one of the most advanced armies in the world with a military more powerful than anyone around them, so Israel can keep bombing children, but Ukraine still isn't allowed because that "won't be good for peace" Lol.
