Quote from: Tamas on Today at 10:33:54 AMWhat was realistically expected of Starmer to do in terms of the Jewish vs Arab shooting that cannot be realistically expected to be done by him regarding the Arab vs Arab shooting?
Quote from: Baron von Schtinkenbutt on Today at 10:12:22 AMQuote from: Tamas on Today at 10:05:52 AMWhat was the point of demanding that Starmer arranges a cease-fire?
I appreciate the difference in scale of bombing people's home from the air and shooting them into ditches but apart from that the only difference is who is doing the killing.
The difference, as CC already pointed out, is that Starmer is both someone with power to influence the situation, and someone who could potentially be swayed by protests and demonstrations. Hamas doesn't give a fuck about Western demonstrations, and won't be influenced by any Western governments, so there's no point in having them.
It doesn't matter that some of the protestors are unrealistic in their demands, and some are disingenuous and using this as cover for their anitsemitism. The protests are happening because the (non-disingenuous) protestors think they can influence the situation for the better.

And for good reason, Hamas is a terrorist organization. What would be the point?
What is the point of the Irish marching in support of Palestine or Canadians against nuclear weapons?
To put pressure on governments.
Protests to put pressure on terrorists doesn't make much sense to me.
