#StopTheGenkcide#FreePalestineFromIsrael#Glastonbury
I’ve spent 15 yrs studying the Middle East. I speak Arabic. I have a PhD on the region. Gaza isn't “complex.” It’s ethnic cleansing—just easier to swallow when you rebrand it “nuanced geopolitics” and sneer at “naive middle-class idiots” for being rightly appalled.
There has never been a Foreign Secretary as detested within the FCO or FCDO as David Lammy.
One senior FCDO source described him to me as "invincibly arrogant".
One who sees him every working day said he is "just a really nasty person".
@LindseyGrahamSC Iran has a right to defend itself. It would be entirely karmic if the Iranians signed their missiles with your name on it, but they are a much classier bunch than the Israelis
@norabf Not related to your post at all, but I have just started listening to EI podcast. Very sobering, yet essential listening. You and your colleagues are brilliant
I’ve seen the silhouettes of so many people—so many children—burning alive, that I can’t look at fire anymore without feeling sick to my stomach.
WE
MUST
STOP
THIS
MASSACRE.
May the Palestinians forgive us.
This is quintessentially British. Barbarism and the violence of colonialism was always exported abroad - UK mandated Bengal famine should have been the end of it. Perhaps were it not for social media, Palestine would have swept under the radar maintaining status quo
If the UK Govt really wanted Palestinians not to starve to death it would load up a ship full of food and medicines and deliver it straight to the Gaza shoreline.
Israel wouldn’t dare attack a U.K. vessel.
Seriously, where have our “British” values gone?
I'm struggling to find the words for the new horrors unfolding in Gaza.
And frankly, I'm sick of the empty statements from so many governments, including our own.
We need urgent action. That means widespread sanctions on Israel, including on trade and a full arms embargo.
