            That’s a truly terrible photo of him though. If I was only vaguely familiar with him, like a lot of the world will be, I don’t think I’d recognize him from that picture.

            Oh I knew it was a new guy but not the name. Anyways I think I’ll forget a couple times more.

      The Tories’ challenge is not because they have any real opinion one way or the other, but because they don’t like the fact that someone is telling them what to do. They can’t stand that.

      It’s now being dropped on the grounds that it is an utterly ridiculous political position to take. It damages our relationship with the rest of the world, fundamentally doesn’t really gain us anything, and all of this is basically just symbolic anyway since he isn’t going to leave Israel and so isn’t going to be arrested.

        Thank you for your perspective.

        I had presumed it had more to do with us selling them weapons than anything so petty.

        But the whole thing is moot, as you say. Just more empty posturing so we can pretend to be doing something.
