This is all well understood. Sadly, thanks to social media bullies, cowardly, short-sighted and frankly stupid politicians and targeted indoctrination, the opposite narrative prevails. Of course illegal settlements should not be tolerated. But Hamas do not want a two state solution, as they have repeatedly demonstrated. They - and their paymasters in Tehran - will accept nothing less than the total annihilation of the Jewish state and they don’t care how many people they put in harm’s way to get there. This government is playing into their hands and using the suffering of both Israelis and Palestinians to win votes. This latest move by @Ed_Miliband will benefit no one in the region, least of all Palestinians. But it will make those north London dinner parties more tolerable for our foreign secretary and prime minister. I never thought I would say this, but come back @DavidLammy, all is forgiven.
