WEAPONS sold from Britain to Israel are being used in Israel’s “plausible genocide” of the Palestinian people. This direct involvement not only implicates Britain in Israel’s war crimes in Gaza, but also exposes the British government’s collusion and complicity in cutting funds to the UN relief agency for Palestine, UNRWA.
By doing so they have put over two million civilians in Gaza at risk of rapid starvation and disease.
Furthermore, the British government’s actions extend beyond direct involvement. It is providing political and public relations cover and undermining ceasefire initiatives at the United Nations security council. Its abstentions, alongside the US veto, only serve to perpetuate the suffering and injustice inflicted upon the Palestinian people
