Why do you feel the need, to make sarcastic remarks, about the most tragic situation in the world today?
The underlying inference is that Israel gets blamed unfairly for everything wrong with the world, as if Israel does nothing wrong in todays world.
As far as i can see, no one has blamed Israel for the crisis in Yemen....its you who have brought that up!

Who said it was Israels' fault?

You were clearly quite moved by the human tragedy portrayed within that clip........not.

Not to mention, one of their main providers of weaponry.

Stand by for the Tory supporter justification of "well if we didn't sell them to Saudi Arabia, then someone else would".

Which of course is very true. The problem is that no country can really afford the level of investment it takes to develop this stuff, so to make it viable you have to sell it, this is the same whichever party is in power. It then becomes a 'least worst' customer situation, generally there is a 'defence use only' clause or two in the contract somewhere, but once they have got the stuff there is not much you can do about it.

I'm quite sure that Jeremy Corbyn would not have been so 'gung-ho' authorising sales to such vile people as the Saudi Govt.

But hey - the MSM puppets (and their masters) were never going to allow that, were they.

FFS WHEN are people in this Country EVER going to wake up and see the bigger picture?

The Yemen situation is so sad. As well as the sectarian power struggles, plus the foreign interference, they have a desperate water shortage due to depletion of the aquifers (actually one of the main reasons behind the crisis rather than a result of it), with a massive cholera epidemic too. Apart from partitioning the country up (yet again) I can’t see a way out of this. Makes Palestine/Israel, Syria and Iraq look like tea parties in comparison.

To be fair, Stephen Yaxley-Lennon probably went there just to pick up some further tips on football violence.
