... is considered a Far Left position - depending on one's point of view. Personally I think it's merely a universal pro-human rights view. That we have been essentially debating that for over 2 years is astonishing to me.

I don't think it's an obfuscation to push back on an argument if it's based on a false premise but ymmv.

You understand that no politician or even cabinet member exists in a vacuum. The Home Secretary is carrying out the policies of her party and government. If you don't know about the U.K.s extremely pro-Israel position for decades and especially as we saw during the Gaza genocide - regardless of who is in power - then you have not been paying attention.

Whether you believe that translates to "taking orders from Israel" or the right thing to do depends on which "side" you are on. Sad that we have to take sides about whether Palestinians deserve to live or not.
