All the protesters in solidarity with Palestine warned you about this. The future that Israel and the US have engineered is one in which genocidal war criminals can draw on a precedent that they will not be held accountable.
And Britain is complicit
MUST READ by @bartov_omer:
Genocides usually end by the perpetrators accomplish their goal, or a military force stops them and accountability ensues.
But in Gaza, we may be seeing a new future for the crime :(
"It is a future in which other nations or leaders may have an incentive to pursue genocidal policies knowing they will not only get away with murder but may even benefit from it. It is a future in which the countries and international organizations that had been committed to stopping and punishing genocide may give license to its recurrence."

🚨 NEW | Green youth wing votes to reject Zionism:
