    Who has committed more terroristic acts in its existence, Hamas, or the UK government?

    Probably Hamas since the current UK government has only technically existed since the start of this parliament. Just over a year.

    Or do you actually mean hurr Durr UK bad hurrr durr?

      Some nitpicks are constructive, some are just dumb. Of course it was “hurr durr UK bad”, in the same sense “do you have a flag” is bad, which is a big part of what they were talking about, and you know it. Might as well use the same argument and say that the Catholic Church isn’t that bad since there’s a new Pope now.

        But that’s the wrong argument. 😅

        A similar argument would be that the new pope isn’t as bad as the entirety of what came before him… or Hamas. 🤷

          The last part is just shoehorning your opinion into a comparison to try and validate your case. But at least you agree with my point, a change of leadership doesn’t change the past, only the future path.

      Actually given that UK intelligence planes aid Israeli airstrikes and UK planes were dropping bombs in Yemen, this is more of a tossup than one would think even if we take the words “UK government” to (incorrectly) mean the current UK government.

      So UK because palestinian children are being bombed by there 1940-2025 colonization effort also known as Israel. The only thing they have in common is that just like the USA and Canada their colony is finally getting rid of the native inhabitants through genocide.
