We are seeing images like this every day now. At least 18,500 children in Gaza have died. And we desperately want to stop the suffering. But while the British Prime Minister Keir Starmer says mass starvation in Gaza is “unspeakable and indefensible“, his government is shamefully offering “statehood” as a bargaining chip to the perpatrators of a genocide, while continuing to allow the export of arms to Israel. This includes British parts for the F35 fighter jets that, daily, bomb and kill Palestinian civilians. The only action the British government has managed to take is the criminalisation and banning of people who oppose Britain’s complicity in these horrors.
