General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Israel would use their own drones. Why use the RAF? Seems more likely it's the UK gathering intel on what Israel is doing.
israel and the uk are the same side
they wouldn't be flying over gaza/lebanon without coordination with israel, so it's obvious reconnaissance for israel/nato
The UK has been criticising Israel for attacking Lebanon though.
Like I said, if Israel wanted recon they can just use their own drones. Seems like people are jumping to the conclusion that we're gathering intel for Israel rather than collecting our own Intel to get an idea of what's going on.
They literally arrest you for supporting Palestine in the UK.
Critisizing israel but still sell wespons, share intel and impose no sanctions on the state of israel itself. That's called hypocrisy
Might be both. Tell Israel it's to help, but make records to make the case to exit the war. That or blackmail Isreal to moderate themselves, but they have no shame so I don't think it's that.
RAF bases in the UK are used to load up US B2 bombers which bomb Iran. The UK is lockstep with Israel.
Why wouldn't Israel have a free spy plane fly for them?
I'm sure Israel can spare a single drone to fly over Lebanon, they don't need to use anyone else to do that for them.
Maybe they're "Trauma Bo~~nd~~mbing"
