Have you seen who's currently in charge of our country? Even if Starmer gets into power, no ceasefire will be called for. Our country has a vested interest and lots of money invested in Israel, same as the US.There is pressure from within the Labour party to have Starmer call for a ceasefire. However he is very much Tory Lite.He's a budget Blair. I'm surprised he hasn't purged all of the left leaning Labour members yet, I thought he had completed that a while back.I dunno, he's more posh than Blair, but he's definitely less capable.And how does the UN/Israel punish Hamas for the hundreds of civilians that were massacred on the day?Collective punishment against civilians isn't punishing hamas, its helping them with their recruitment efforts.That doesn't answer the questionIt answers your implication that only collective punishment is viable.That wasn't my implication. My question didn't have any implication to it.
