British complicity in genocide: the case for justice
As Israel’s crimes escalate, Keir Starmer’s government must not subvert, block or ignore the investigation and prosecution of British citizens involved in acts of genocide, writes CLAUDIA WEBBE
NO SAFE ZONES: Children walk by the destroyed house of journalist Islam Meqdad, where she was killed along with her son and five other family members in an Israeli strike in Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip, April 6 2025

SINCE the Netanyahu government engineered the collapse of the ceasefire, Israel’s crimes in Gaza have escalated horrifically, killing 400 people in one night and more than 100 children a day on average since last month.

Israel has been exposed executing paramedics and rescue workers and hiding their bodies and vehicles and has killed more journalists during the genocide than died during the US civil war, both world wars, Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Yugoslavia, Afghanistan and Russia combined.

And just this past weekend, we saw horrific scenes of headless and limbless children after Israel bombed al-Nakhil Street, Gaza, with many more wounded and unlikely to survive given the absence of antibiotics, anaesthetics and clean dressings.
