‘Fed up with war’?
What a crass choice of words from Bowen.
The surviving Palestinians are deeply traumatised by the *genocide* that Israel has been inflicting on them.

So, Keir_Starmer thinks that welcoming an Israeli war criminal is 'diplomacy'.
Anyone who objects is engaging in 'the politics of students'.
Sums up the moral abyss of this Prime Minister.
