How can we claim to be human while our countries still support and defend the massacres in Palestine, asks HUGH LANNING

HAVING announced his intention to move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem in December of last year, reversing years of US policy and violating international law, US President Donald Trump seems determined to further rub salt in the wound.
He announced weeks ago that the new embassy would open on May 15. No more provocative a date could have been chosen.
May 15 marks 70 years since the state of Israel was established in a process that saw 750,000 Palestinians expelled from their homes and over 450 towns and villages destroyed.
