@SkyNews @Stone_SkyNews The US needs to go beyond protecting shipping and protect the civilians of Gaza being daily bombed and shelled by Israel, and calling for an immediate ceasefire and backed up by sanctions on the right wing government just as sanctions were imposed on Hamas.

@USAmongISR @cjkeller8 @AbbottsfordRd Show support for prosecution of Israeli war crimes by providing information to the international bodies calling for a ceasefire and an end to indiscriminate bombing and apartheid, the one sided hypocrisy of US support for Israel needs to end.

[Simon Hicks @Habbang]

@UKinUSA @David_Cameron @FCDOGovUK End your pro-Israeli policies and recognise Israeli genocidal actions in Gaza are akin to the terrorist actions of Hamas. The death of the innocents and the daily harassment of Palestinians whether Israeli citizens or West Bank needs to stop, recognising aparthied for what it is.

[Simon Hicks @Habbang]

@KarenPierceUK @David_Cameron @FCDOGovUK Not least pushing Israel to end its genocidal actions against the Palestinians and stop indiscriminate bombing, US and UK one sided support for the Israeli military needs to stop and support for a right wing Israeli administration to end.

[Simon Hicks @Habbang]

@FCDOGovUK @David_Cameron @UKinUSA @StateDept Time to end pro-Israeli policies and end any support of its armed forces, don't stand by whilst a genocide takes place due to Israeli actions. Measure Israel by the same standards of Hamas - both are terrorist organisations.

@AllisterHeath This ignores any logic, the proposed bill is illegal under British law, the entire issue is largely made up when the real problem is lack of investment in training British workers and their poor pay and working conditions.

[Simon Hicks @Habbang]

@JamesCleverly @michaelgove A bill illegal under British and international law. The root of the issue is the lack of investment in the administration of asylum claims, the legal system and on improved pay, training and investment in skills that would enable us to reduce legal migration.

[Simon Hicks @Habbang]

@SkyNews @Stone_SkyNews Israel is guilt of war crimes just as heinous as Hamas.

[Simon Hicks @Habbang]

@SkyNews @AliMirajUK Peace means ending pro-Israeli policies and treating their indiscriminate bombing of Gaza as similar to the atrocities committed by Hamas.

[Simon Hicks @Habbang]

@Israel @SarahLudford @sherylsandberg I condemn the use of rape and other violence by Hamas just as I condemn the use of indiscriminate bombing and denial of medical supplies, food and water to the people of Gaza and the erosion of Palestinian rights in the West Bank.

[Simon Hicks @Habbang]

@Mark_J_Harper @michaelgove @BTP Yes, but still support the people of Gaza & condemn Israeli war crimes, just as terrorist actions by Hamas are condemned. No medical facilities, food or water and indiscriminately bombed by Israel - apply the same sanctions against the Israeli government as we apply to Hamas..

[Simon Hicks @Habbang]

@angelaeagle This is freely available information and vital to those lobbying for an end to pro-Israeli policies that equates Israel's indiscriminate killings of Gaza civilians as somehow different from Hamas's indiscriminate killings - both are terrorism.

[Simon Hicks @Habbang]

@DPJHodges Meanwhile Israeli war crimes in Gaza continue, no medical staff, no food or water, even "safe zones" being indiscriminately bombed, the Israeli government is rapidly reforming itself into the same image as Hamas.

[Simon Hicks @Habbang]

@wurzel260654 @StickyBamba @SkyNews Good, but condemn similar actions by the Israeli government in its indiscriminate bombing of civilians in Gaza, peace will not be achieved by genocide.

[Simon Hicks @Habbang]

@Ido_ei @SkyNews The truth is both sides are guilty of war crimes bu the Palestinians are left in the middle. https://t.co/Qw8MMcquSq

[Simon Hicks @Habbang]

@StickyBamba @SkyNews Terrible, but imagine they bombed your house, killed your parents, starved your children and destroyed your neighborhood. Both are outrages that should be condemned. Peace will only come when both sides recognize each other as equals.

[Simon Hicks @Habbang]

@DPJHodges Palestinian security is just as important as Israeli security, currently they are being indiscriminately bombed and starved. We should end our one sided support for Israel, recognising the current Israeli government is an extreme right coalition.

[Simon Hicks @Habbang]

@sullcrom Share concern at Israeli war crimes, the Hamas atrocity is no excuse for Israel's actions of indiscriminate bombing of civilians and collective punishment on the people of Gaza. Both Hamas and the Israeli government should be condemned and sanctioned.

[Simon Hicks @Habbang]

@Keir_Starmer @ChathamHouse A path to peace involves treating equally the lives of Palestinians and Israeli's, not supporting Israel's indiscriminate bombing and collective punishment of the people of Gaza.
