So the Greens got Labour’s cranks en masse on a free transfer and now they’re reaping what Momentum sowed.

Exactly - it'd be too obvious if they only left 48 hours between events.

Well yes. I definitely consider the UK Govenrment sending military support to assist Israel with their war crimes* as worse than some random bloke tweeting he hopes a boat sinks.

*TBC in an International Criminal Court sometime soon.

It was mere days after the attack by Hamas that killed 1000 people.

Check the date of the tweet

Do you think a PPC should be wishing death to hundreds of UK navy personnel for the crime of being near a country in a “show of support”?

That's not why we sent two navy vessels into the region. It was part of a coordinated task force with the US navy, to signal to Iran and it's proxies (i.e. Hezbollah) that they should forget any idea of using the Hamas attacks as a precursor for a fuller assault on Israel. And it worked because, aside from some smaller rocket attacks and a few muscle flexing displays, the conflict hasn't escalated into a wider regional war.

Don't forget that the anti-Israel demonstrations started across the World on the same day after the Hamas attacks.

I forget the timeline - when did Israel launch their revenge war crime* attacks killing tens of thousands of Palestinians?

Good point.

Are the two navy vessels still there? Perhaps they could be used to persuade Israel to stop blowing up schools and UN displacement camps?

While clearly acknowledging that some of the tweets within the article are clearly anti-Semitic and the authors appear to have fallen down conspiracy wormholes and aren't fit to be candidates, I hope the Times also follow up with further investigation into themselves for the several times they go on to conflate someone's criticism of Israel with criticism of Jews, which is an anti-Semitic trope.
