General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Photos shared by the mission show demonstrators waving 'Israeli' and UK flags outside the building over the weekend, with several seen climbing the entrance steps and posing for pictures.

The images also captured stickers plastered across the embassy façade, including slogans such as “Anti-Zionism is racism,” “I love the Israeli army,” and “We are not Jews with trembling knees.” One sticker displayed a Union Jack merged with the Star of David.

The embassy says incidents targeting the mission have intensified since 'Israel' launched its war on Gaza, with diplomats reporting smashed windows, paint attacks, and groups attempting to barricade the entrance, all while staff were inside.

Under the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, states are obligated to safeguard foreign missions from intrusion, damage, or disruption.

Disgraceful.

Best thing to do is to report it to the Home Secretary who will totally take the concerns seriously and ban these hateful protesters as domestic terrorists with a swift act of Parliament.... 😂😅🤣. Sorry sorry I couldn't keep that up. Who am I kidding. The UK government isn't going to do shit about this 🥲
