[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"We strongly oppose the expansion of Israel’s military operations in Gaza. The level of human suffering in Gaza is intolerable. Yesterday’s announcement that Israel will allow a basic quantity of food into Gaza is wholly inadequate. We call on the Israeli Government to stop its military operations in Gaza and [b]immediately allow humanitarian aid to enter Gaza.[/b]"

"We will not stand by while the Netanyahu Government pursues these egregious actions. If Israel does not cease the renewed military offensive and lift its restrictions on humanitarian aid,[b] we will take further concrete actions in response[/b].

"We oppose any attempt to expand settlements in the West Bank. Israel must halt settlements which are illegal and undermine the viability of a Palestinian state and the security of both Israelis and Palestinians.  We will not hesitate to take further action, including [b]targeted sanctions.[/b] "

Quite a sudden and surprising shift in tone from countries that were/are actively supplying weaponry and arming Israel. There are talks that France may be in the process of recognize the state of Palestine. It could be due to the ever growing awareness via social media and that the public is seeing the horrific images coming out of Gaza, that politicians are starting to feel the pressure to finally act. In the UK alone, an estimated half million people marched through central London in protests for Gaza this past weekend.

[/quote]Why is the viability of a Palestinian state so important to them?

Is it because they let in so many Muslims over the decades?[/quote]
