THE Communist Party of Britain have welcomed the ongoing mass protests against the moral bankruptcy of politicians, including Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer, who refuse to condemn Israeli war crimes in Gaza.

The party’s executive committee also welcomed the initiative of the South African government in referring Israel to the International Court of Justice at The Hague and called for the intensification of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign against Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestinian territories.
  
“Prime Minister Netanyahu’s criminal regime should be condemned and confronted as much of the world once confronted South African apartheid,” general secretary Robert Griffiths told the committee at the weekend. 

He listed some of history’s most infamous massacres of innocent civilians, from Drogheda, Glencoe, Wounded Knee and Jallianwala Bhag (Amritsar) to Guernica, Oradour, Lidice, My Lai and Sharpeville.
