Foreign secretary issues stark warning and implies UK will not back a Rafah offensive
Israel has been in breach of international law for months; nobody with the power to effect change cares. That's incredibly clear.
Dollars over lives. Always has been.

What are you going to do about it, Cameron?
54"LOL so what?" was the answer of Fuhrer Netanyau.
27REFERENDUM! That will surely fix everything
7Speak loudly
and swing UK’s dick. That’s all he can do.So he is. What more do you expect?
3Not labelling any criticism of Israel as antisemitism would be a start.
Sanctions would be better.
8and swing UK’s dick
Won't need much room for that, UK does what the US tells them to

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Israel is in breach of international law as the occupying power if it fails to provide food and water to the people of Gaza, the UK foreign secretary, Lord Cameron, told peers on Tuesday in his clearest warning yet over Israel’s conduct.
He also said it was simply not possible for people in Rafah to leave as proposed by the Israeli Defense Forces, remarks that suggest the UK would not endorse any Israeli plan to mount a full-scale attack on the area containing more than 1 million people in crowded refugee camps.
But he sidestepped a request by one peer for the UK to halt arms supplies to Israel, adding Hamas could stop the fight immediately.
In Cameron’s clearest warning to Israel about its conduct he said as the occupying power in Gaza, Israel had to make sure that humanitarian aid and food, water and shelter were available to people in Gaza, “because if they don’t do that, that would be a breach of international humanitarian law”.
Setting out his overall strategy, Cameron said: “You’ve got to get, in our view, the Hamas leaders out of Gaza, otherwise any ceasefire won’t last because the problem will still be there.
You have got to give the Palestinian people a political horizon to a better future and two-state solution and, crucially, you’ve got to release all of the hostages and do that very quickly.”
The original article contains 619 words, the summary contains 232 words. Saved 63%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
2Multiple people including a 6 year old child have already died from starvation but Camaroon is on the case.
How many need to die as evidence, 6 million?
1You’ve got to get the Hamas leaders out of Gaza, otherwise any ceasefire won’t last because the problem will still be there. You’ve got to dismantle the operation of terrorist attacks. You’ve got to have a new Palestinian Authority and governments in place. You have got to give the Palestinian people a political horizon to a better future and two-state solution and, crucially, you’ve got to release all of the hostages and do that very quickly.
Edit: this was a reading check test and you guys failed. Don't comment without reading the article. What I wrote above was a word for word quote directly by Lord Cameron found in this very article.
-8You can't do any of that anymore. It's not even possible. What are they going to have an election? With what infrastructure. And guess who they're probably going to vote for? Israelis have been bombing and murdering them for the last few months. You think they're voting for moderate peaceful leaders? No they're going to very understandably be voting for people who can them bring them Israeli blood. Which is half the reason Netanyahu did it in the first place.

You're half right, but only half. These things need the Israeli right wing to be out of the picture, not just Hamas. It's those people that gave rise to Hamas and other terrorist/resistance organizations. You're like someone saying "we need the IRA to stop their actions so Irish people can have rights" during the Troubles.
