Ceasefires and Puffed Up Politicians
Mandy Rhodes in Holyrood Magazine with a fair summary of the Punch and Judy politics we witnessed at Westminster last week.“This is pure politics and less about world peace and more about parochial political point scoring with MPs swollen by their own self-importance fighting for party relevance in a forthcoming election.” My @HolyroodDaily column on the Gaza debate. https://t.co/EvoLdwXw7S

The real victims in all of this should never be forgotten – the murdered, raped, and assaulted Israelis whose security was so breached on 7 October; the innocent hostages – a nine-month-old baby, who has now spent almost half again of his young life in the clutches of terrorists rather than in the bosom of his family; the wretched lives of the women, children, and citizens of Gaza whose daily lives are ripped apart by an unceasing bombardment of violence. These are the real victims and not puffed up politicians who view their own political victimhood as even worth a mention in that context.
