BRITAIN’S political leaders failed to condemn Israeli war crimes against Palestinian people today in a “bleak day for democracy.”

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and opposition leader Sir Keir Starmer gave back-to-back Commons speeches blaming Hamas for Israel’s air strikes and cutting off food and energy supplies to the Gaza Strip. 

West-backed Israel declared war and has ordered more than a million Palestinians to evacuate northern Gaza ahead of an anticipated ground offensive after more than 1,400 Israelis were killed in Hamas’s unprecedented attack on Israeli territory on October 7.
