It should start becoming toxic to be Israeli, especially soldiers who can refuse orders based on Israelโ€™s on law but donโ€™t.

Lammy โ€˜sickenedโ€™ by Israelโ€™s targeting of starving Palestinians and threatens fresh sanctions Foreign secretary says he deeply regrets that UK does not have power to end war and claims its arms are not used in Gaza

David Lammy's words of condemnation of Israel's deliberate starvation of the Palestinian people in Gaza are hollow PR for him and his government, whose legacy will be continuing to support and arm a genocide they continue to deny.

โ€œThis isnโ€™t just a genocide in Gaza. Itโ€™s a genocide all over Palestine that began in 1948, and conceived by the Zionist movement in the late nineteenth century.

A Gaza truce? Here's what is being negotiated, and why it matters A new ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas may be within reach โ€” but key questions remain. Hostages, humanitarian aid, and political pressure are shaping what happens next.

Intl Law, treaties on the rights of the child and genocide convention are clearly a joke. Our Govts are complicit & we need to hold them to account a lot more effectively than weโ€™ve done so far.
