    Oh honey…

    You know that isn’t true :/

    The Israli military wouldn’t allow a UK military plane to do that if they weren’t in on it.

    It’s not the UK’s air space

      Obviously Israel has allowed “sweetie” but that doesnt mean that the UK is giving them intel on how to bomb Gazans. They might be, but you cant tell if they are or not based solely on a plane flying there.

        You’re right they probably just felt like flying around for the majority of the genocide in the airspace they needed to negotiate access to with no strings attached.

        You honestly come off as a troll, but i know you’re probably just a UK tankie.

          Its pretty funny that you’re the one reflexively assuming that because a western country is doing something it can only be the worst possible thing, and yet you’re calling me a tankie.

          Whether the UK is materially contributing to the genocide in Garza or not is not sufficiently demonstrable by the evidence provided here.

          I’d agree with you that in all likelihood the spy planes are a tip of the iceberg sort of thing but neither of us have evidence to prove that. Planes flying around gaza is insufficient evidence.

          Is it repugnant that the uk likely knows better than most normal people what’s going on and is doing nothing to stop it? Yes. Is it deplorable that they’re clamping down on dissent about it? Yes.

          Are they materially contributing to the ongoing genocide? Yeah. But that has nothing to do with a plane flying over gaza. Are they actively participating? Neither of us have any idea. Or if we do this information is not sufficient to prove it.

          It’s shady as fuck. It’s worth being pissed off about. But unless someone here has evidence about what the planes are actually doing it’s just speculation.

          There are plenty of countries that spy on wars they’re not directly participating in.

      Israel does a lot of things, but I don’t think they would shoot down a UK military aircraft over Gaza.

            that would almost be valid if they weren’t at war with everyone around them. they’ll just say AI said it was an Iranian plane. if that.

            actually satanyahu could just come out and say “yeah we shot it because we didn’t like the way it looked, so be more careful next time you tea-gargling cuntbags” and nothing would change.

            Israel is a colonialist project and the colonialists will support it no matter what. they’ll happily sacrifice their own people to keep it up.

              No real response because we’re pretty deep into hypothetical territory, just wanted to let you know I didn’t downvote you lol.

        Ok now we’re pretending the UK got away with illegally trespassing another country’s air space with military craft and nobody complained about it?

        Keep moving the bar lol
