Unison has consistently opposed the apartheid system in occupied Palestine, and is now leading the call to end the British state’s military support for Israel as the massacre in Gaza continues, writes MICAELA TRACEY-RAMOS

TODAY Dr Husam Zomlot, the Palestinian ambassador to Britain, will address Unison’s national delegate conference on the ongoing genocide in Gaza and the struggle against the oppression of the Palestinian people.

Israel’s genocide has caused the complete collapse of healthcare and all public services in Gaza. The ordered evacuation of hospitals and deliberate targeting of healthcare facilities has furthered the catastrophe. Israel’s persistent attacks on the healthcare system in Palestine are war crimes. It is clear: this isn’t a war waged by Israel on Hamas, but a war waged against all Palestinians.

It is important to be clear also that this did not begin on October 7, as some in the British media would like to suggest. The attack on October 7 did not happen in a vacuum.
