The Hamas leaders should hand themselves in and take the rap for October 7th. They will get a defence and can at least bring to light any crimes they are accused of but which were carried out by IDF. They should take the blame for the crimes undeniably committed by Hamas. Then the pressure is on the psychopath.  Or instead, they could offer to hand themselves in, if the psychopath hands himself in. I hope one day he is handed over. Better even still if he met the same fate as Gaddafi.

Imagine Sinwar, Putin and Netanyahu at the lunch table at the UNDU.

Interesting to see that Starmer has deviated from Biden on this regarding Netenyahu etc.  While I commend this, I feel it makes his previous stance look stupid.
