How many embarrassing politicians can one country produce?

This is soo true and hilarious

"I don't want to answer that question" is the official motto of British politicians
He answers only to his is-a-helli owner
UK has a monarchy. Its nature is to be above the rest. So is natural UK has classes that act without consequences or transparency.
He just did. If he believed the answer was truly no he’d say that
@@StarcallerSpencer If he knows the answer is yes he should grow a spine and say so
@@StarcallerSpencergood point
The hypocrisy of this politician is intolerable.
meaningless statement
He’s a Narc
So what you going to do about it?
Spiv Old Etonion Dodgy Dave strikes again.
First time I’ve heard a politician say “I don’t want to answer that question”, rather than just avoid it by changing the subject.
I’ll give him credit for being completely honest about being spineless 😂
It's a worrying trend.
They used to just waffle on about something unrelated and avoid answering the question.
Now they don't even care.
Biden runs away from questions 😂
@@amandapeluso4217 Usually in the wrong direction too 😂
He said that because he is a coward
I don’t want to answer that question. I can’t answer that question. I am afraid of answering that question
Disgusting to see this level of hypocrisy these politicians show.
And Funny enough Isreal has used chemical weapons (white phosphorus gas) against the Palestinians
Bought and paid for, question is what are we going to do about it?
Cameron, "I can easily determine war crimes of Hamas, I have to check on war crimes committed by Israel."
Thanks for translating.
Hypocrisy at David Cameron and the British Government: wow. i am speechless
Simple Question: if Hamas committed war crimes on Oct 07
Then Israelis killing 10 Times more civilians also committed war crimes
Because Laws don’t care or condemn certain groups on moral equivalence
International Laws don’t care about your feelings.
Israel said "trust me bro, no war crimes committed here"
Israel has the power and money via Washington etc.
Is this the UK Foreign Minister. how appalling. Has he not listened or seen any of the evidence that has emerged from Gaza.
because if he answered that question correctly the men in magician hats and braids will pay him a visit and remind him who is the boss here
he has seen those which have emerged on the 7th of october. THAT was appalling
If he does not believe those videos are enough evidence, then he should be brave enough to go to 'ground zero' in Gaza and see it for himself. 😉 😏
What a shame !! Just completely blind and deaf politicians when it comes in their favour. What a bad world we live in
Do you mean the evidence of Hamas tunnels under hospitals etc. from which they attack a nation that they have openly admitted wanting to destroy?
Some politicians are just morally corrupt
A dishonest and disingenuous man through and through!
Despicable and sickening. Never forget this things actions in libya which destroyed country and killed thousands. "Protecting civilians' was the lie. Hypocrisy doesn't even cover it.
Well said
The Queen found him indiscreet.

This woman has truly outshone the Western media, fearlessly posing tough questions to lightweight politicians. Thank you for being a voice for the underdog and making a meaningful impact

"The hypocrisy and racism of the western world is transparent and appalling.... To our European friends, I never ever want to hear you lecture us on human rights or international law again, and I mean this."
- Rev. Dr. Munther Isaac (Bethlehem, Christmas Eve 2023)
A report on the BBC showed that despite 30 times as many civilians killed by Israel as Hamas, the BBC used the word "killed" in reference to Palestinians 1/5th as often as they did for Israelis.
The British media doesn't even consider Israel to be killing anyone. Palestinians just wind up dead through no conceivable explanation. 🙄
Same thoughts here. I'd add: No Hollywood star should ever come again with campaigns for women rights and so on. Keep entertaining and picking up awards.and that's the end of it.
YES, THANK YOU BRAVO ! REV. MUNTHUR ISSAC,...
The West invented human rights and international law, so who else is going to lecture about it?
Most western countries have been duped, our education systems hijacked and our governments taken over by the same people doing the killings.

But British empire is sold it's soul too. It's pretty much shows up how Anglo-Saxons acts throughout history.

"I understand the question you want to answer but I have a question I want to ask"
Powerful!
Then the politician:
“I understand the question you want to ask, but I have a question that I would like to answer.”
😂
Hypocrisy at the highest level disgusting
Disgusting....
Well done to the lady having the guts in asking the questions 👏
lol sure the mouthpiece for terrorists is blaming the liberators of the Palestinian people for the crimes of Hamas.

Cameron body language tells everything
Guilty!
I’m watching this in bed withiut volume and using subtitles (kids r sleeping) and his body language was very telling I must say…
I think he may be having invisible accordion lessons from the Orange One in the USA.
Reminds you of how he used to suddenly run away when he was PM...always on the verge of a panic attack.
Yes, he was literally squirming, like a rat trying to get out of water.
Hypocrisy does have a face!
And its not just a question of law, its a question of humanity.
I cannot believe He said ''we gonna go away and consult with the Israeli authorities if they have broken any international laws?''
You can imagine the rest.
the rest is: how much nori money you are going give me to lie continuously until I am myself in a grave?
Mr David Cameron was ex PM n a Graduate from Oxford Univ. A very clever man he is.
They going to go away get a new cheque written up by his Shepard and then sheep along like the rest… what a bunch of dummies this country holds as our leaders
@@sea.46😂 he was, i do't see an incredible man but a liar
"Israel, have you committed any warcrimes."
Israel coughs loudly before responding.
"No."
"See? There. They haven't commited any warcrimes."
Doesn’t install confidence in your country’s government when your politicians state publicly they don’t want to answer the question
Because he reports to Israel
🐖🤾♂️
Instill
It was a pathetic point scoring question to make the other MP's look all hard....the state of our MP's is SHOCKING !!!
Because Israel is nothing to do with the uk.
He should just say that's classified, its National Security. 😂
Bravo Alicia. Keep pressing. You will save lives. Thank you.
Private education doesn’t teach intelligence, it teaches confidence. He sounds like his old pal Boris. He can’t answer the question because he knows any answer he gives will be destroyed by that lady who is clearly, vastly, more intelligent than he is.
Confidence, and maybe also arrogance and ignorance.

The lawyers have to consult with the Israeli government to establish whether they had broken International Law? Did I understand Lord Cameron's statement correct?
Yes, they are untouchable.
"The lawyers have to consult with the Israeli government to establish whether they had broken International Law?" I think that is part of the routine in these cases.
Yes you did-it is because hamas keeps behind their human shields from leaving gaza!
Puppets always have to ask their masters what they are allowed to do.
Lord ??? Je dirai VOYOU
And then he went and militarily supported illegal US-led attacks in Yemen as the only NATO ally. Attacks that other NATO allies like France, Italy and Spain refused to even be associated with. Fantastic work, Cameron! 🤦🏼♀️

Israel: "We don't have such law in Israel"

rubbish. Cameron is eloquent and intelligent
In times like this, it becomes clear who has the moral courage to stand by the moral principles. He is definitely not the one.
although, to give him his dues, he is having to navigate an extraordinarily complex and uncharted legal and moral maze that contains more than one moving component and is certainly neither built nor in any guarantee of working if it can be assembled with any sense of basic coherence.
I very well understand what you are saying, but it's more about he and other Western leader's refusal to act on the fact that more than 20.000 death, more than 60.000 injured, 1,9 million people are displaced and the destruction of 70 % of homes in Gaza by Israeli's bombings. Say somthing and act before more people dies! Save people's lives first and talk about sustainable solutions on the basis of the complicated political history afterwards. @@gavinmc5285
he answered it well. Watch the whole clip before coming to a popular conclusion
The way the British politicians behave would never be accepted in any other job!!! Shameful behaviour!!
"Its not fair on the lawyers"???
Isnt that why they are paid our tax money?
He brought Brexit and in effect lowered our living standards. Is he having more plans on how to make our lives even more difficult?
Will it make rich people richer? Then yes.
I'm not a fan of his but he didn't bring Brexit in, he gave the public a referendum to vote on it and they voted out.
He wanted to stay in and quit because the people voted against him
@@inconvenientfacts6452 - yes, exactly, for Cameron politics was and is nothing else than a game with our lives.

Alice pontificating. These ppl never lived under terrorism.
If he cannot recall such a document, he should step down for incompetence
"To see who dominates you, look who you cannot criticize"
Precisely....
in context. the fact that the compromised position was exposed was (imho) more a reflection of nothing than something. the chair was letting the speaker know that the chair knew the position and that the chair didn't have to operate behind a closed door if necessary. so the speaker knew that and had to talk it off a little, like a schoolboy that hadn't made an error but had been scolded. a gentle, well-ordered, polite, one-time reminder. if you will.
Like a child trying to lie his way out of a situation!
He clearly said that the advice is that Israel has not broken international law. If you don't like what is happening, it doesn't necessarily mean it breaks any laws
@@davidcooks2379 I wasn't talking about Israel's war crimes. The mere body language and the stuttering gives most people away.
I'm sure some of defendants in Nuremburg asked themselves every day if they had broken a law. Their conclusion was consistently NO.
What a shameful performance. Especially from a unelected appointee not answerable to parliament or the people.

Free Palestine from Hamas

@@einsam_aber_freiNay, but from der Juden.
According to the IDF there are around 35 thousand Palestinian fighters in Gaza and as the UN reported that Israel has damaged and destroyed more than 270 thousand buildings in Gaza.
Is it possible for one fighter to live in more than 7 places at the same time?
Doesn't this appear as intended Genocide?
IDF would have us believe they are following the "Wakamol" doctrine of warfare.
Genocide is not when you destroy buildings. Plus your entire logic is laughable as any armed groups don't operate exclusively from their own apartments, it's quite the opposite - they try to use any infrastructure they find useful.
@@endlesssolitaire731 Well, if you are still not convinced it is a genocide, then all you need to do is just search the net for:
"CNN visited a Gaza hospital. This is what we saw."

Let me get this straight. Lwyers go to Israel, ask if they have committed war crimes, and then come back to him and say, no they haven't. That is how it works?
