Agreeing with an outcome is not the same thing as agreeing with a means. The means you have proposed involves wholesale, deliberate commission of war crimes and teeters dangerously close to genocide.

The phrase ‘suck it up’ will deservedly haunt you on this forum for quite some time.

I suggest you stop your own personal attacks and keep to the subject. The leaders of both main parties agree with my view on this, although I cannot say the same about Corbyn. His sympathy for terrorist groups is well documented.
Neither Starmer nor Sunak have articulated support for Israeli action in Gaza in anything like the terms you have used.

Israel is entitled to defend itself and defence legitimately involves military action on the territory from which it was attacked. That does not give Israel carte blanche to commit wholesale destruction without due regard for the civilian population.
