Forget double-sourced reporting, this is triple-sourced. Erm, insiders, a family friend, family members...
Yeah, I think he'll survive this. And the use of "genocide" in the context of Gaza isn't a particularly fringe use of the word (though I can see why it might jar for some Jewish people).
I'm interested to hear that he's a very recent convert though.

It's the omnicause through which all other causes can be filtered. I don't see any talk about what is happening in, say, Sudan or Iran, for example.

I just counted 12 EU members who don't recognize Palestine, and another 4 who recognized it on the same day as the UK. And of those who have recognized it, some recognized it in 1988, when they were under Soviet control, not as democratic nations.
Of those who I think you could say were ahead of the UK, there's Ireland, Slovenia and Spain, who did it in 2024. And Sweden which did it in 2014.
