Decisive Action

After only a little more than a year of ethnic cleansing and international aggression, and civilian casualties barely in excess of forty thousand lives, one or two bastions of the free world are beginning to wonder if perhaps the Righteous State might be overdoing things a bit, and whether it might perhaps be well advised to ease off a little for its own good. A flunkey for Team Starmer even went so far as to fret that Israel's reputation as a democracy could suffer, which would not be in Israel's interests and would therefore be a Very Bad Thing. We are all aware that the Righteous State's sacred right to self-defence trumps all considerations of international law; but the Knesset's vote to blacklist the main relief agency immediarely after a Team Starmer flunkey warned against it has caused some countries to consider the possibility of subjecting trade ties to review, or even of issuing notice that one or two wrists may be slapped should the situation be allowed to deteriorate unacceptably further. Let nobody say the world sat back and did nothing.
