Israeli apartheid against Palestinians in death as in life, as occupation forces are still holding the body of our friend, Awdah Hathaleen, preventing the community from burying him.
Yet his murderer has freely returned to terrorise Umm al-Khair today

Our condolences to the family and loved ones of Awdah Hathaleen, brutally murdered by an Israeli settler in his village of Umm al Khair in Masafer Yatta in the occupied West Bank.
A powerful advocate for his community, who spoke to Parliamentarians on several occasions. He will be sorely missed.

Settler violence is Israeli state violence.
Umm al Khair, like many Palestinian communities is harassed, attacked daily by Israeli settlers & occupation forces, to ethnically cleanse and forcibly displace the residents. Policies of apartheid and ethnic cleansing in action, daily.

My friend Awdah Hathaleen was murdered today by an Israeli settler, in his village, the Palestinian Bedouin community of Umm al Khair. I am heartbroken. Rest in power, Awdah.
An Israeli settler (sanctioned by the UK) shot Awdah in the chest.

Has the UK really learned the lessons of Iraq? Donβt count on it
Whilst itβs surprising the UK didnβt join the strikes on Iran, the government is still complicit in enabling Israelβs aggressions, argues Joseph Willits.
Has the UK really learnt the lessons of Iraq? That it even contemplated joining Israel in attacking Iran, being complicit in its aggression, is staggering as it commits genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, attacks on Lebanon & Syria.

Quote from Joseph Willits, Head of Parliamentary Affairs at Caabu (Council for Arab-British Understanding), who says:
"This letter shows that there is increasing parliamentary support for the UK to take tougher action against Israel. As Palestinians face violent erasure, including Israeli imposed genocide, starvation and ethnic cleansing, the UK government simply is not doing enough, and an increasing number of parliamentarians are also coming to this realisation.
Successive governments cannot claim to not know how communities across the West Bank are being violently dispossessed and forcibly transferred, which many of the signatories have visited.
What will it take for UK government action to match up with the horrifying situation and systemic violence on the ground, and to act on what parliamentarians, the British public, and most importantly, Palestinians have long been saying? Palestinians deserve an end to these horrors, leading to proper justice and accountability."
Letter from 96 UK Parliamentarians who have demanded sanctions on Israel for war crimes against Palestinians and systematic violations of international law, including imposing targeted sanctions, a ban on trade with illegal settlements, and a suspension of the existing UK-Israel trade agreement.
