It’s taken 24 months for JK Rowling to comment on the Israeli bloodbath of Palestinians in Gaza.

And it’s with this.

Wake the fuck up!

This is as far away from self defence than humanly possible.

[Craig Murray @CraigMurrayOrg]

I write as former Head of Maritime Section of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office
and Alternate Head of UK Delegation to the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea Prepcom.

1) The flotilla is on the High Seas and not in Israel's 12 mile territorial sea. Israel has no jurisdiction.

2) The Israeli maritime blockade has been in place for 17 years and is an intrinsic part of the long term occupation found illegal in the ICJ advisory opinion

3) It is therefore not a short term measure in time of armed conflict as specified in the San Remo manual

4) In any event the San Remo rules explicitly state that humanitarian supplies may not be blockaded

5) The UN Commission of Inquiry has already determined that Israel is committing genocide. The blockade is plainly a part of the machinery of such genocide.

For reasons 1 to 5 the Israeli attack on the flotilla is plainly illegal.

6) On the High Seas, the law applying on each ship is the law of its flag state. An attack by a state military warship on a vessel on the High Seas is an attack on the flag state of the vessel attacked.

7) Acts of illegal possession of vessels or abduction of crew on the High Seas should be pursued by each flag state as crimes within their domestic jurisdiction, not only in international law.

8) So the Metropolitan Police and DPP have an obligation to investigate and act over the abduction of persons from UK flagged vessels on the High Seas.
This applies to each flag state mutatis mutandi.

I hope you find this helpful.

Just so we’re all absolutely clear about what we’re watching here, Israel is intentionally starving civilians in order to bring about the ethnic cleansing of Gaza and steal a Palestinian territory. That’s all this is, and anyone who says otherwise is lying.

This isn’t a theory. This is what’s happening. The facts are in and the case is closed. Israeli officials aren’t even hiding it anymore.

Israel’s Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu is telling the Israeli media that “the government is racing ahead for Gaza to be wiped out,” and that “all Gaza will be Jewish.”

Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir is tweeting in Hebrew that a “complete halt of ‘humanitarian aid’” will allow “encouragement of migration” and “settlement” in the Gaza Strip.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced earlier this month that the official plan is to build a giant concentration camp for Gaza’s population on the ruins of Rafah while working to deport the population to other countries.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu himself made it clear back in May that implementing Donald Trump’s plan for the ethnic cleansing of Gaza was a precondition to having peace in the enclave.

Trump made it clear back in February that his plan was for “all” Palestinians to be removed from the Gaza Strip on a “permanent” basis.

Within days of Israel’s assault on Gaza in October 2023, Israel’s Intelligence Ministry was circulating a plan for the entire population of Gaza to be moved to the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt, and an Israeli think tank had drawn up a strategy for the “relocation and final settlement of the entire Gaza population.”

Indeed, Israel has been on record scheming to find a way to relocate the population of Gaza for many decades.

That’s what this is all about. That’s all this has ever been about. It’s not about hostages. It’s not about Hamas. It’s not about Israel defending itself. It’s about stealing a Palestinian territory, and anyone who says otherwise is lying.

And the lies have been erupting like a geyser in recent days. Israel and its apologists have been frantically pushing the narrative that Gaza is starving because the UN isn’t allowing aid in (swiftly refuted by Drop Site News), that Gaza is starving because Hamas is stealing the aid (swiftly refuted by Reuters), and that Gaza is starving because Hamas attacks people who try to go to aid sites (already refuted by Israeli soldiers telling the Israeli press that they’re the ones shooting the aid seekers).

The more evil Israel gets, the more frenetic its apologists need to get with their lies to justify its behavior.

Starvation deaths in Gaza are skyrocketing. Many of those still alive have already suffered permanent damage, and even with a massive influx of aid and complete reversal of Israeli policies it will be very difficult to undo the effects of the famine.

Western governments are beginning to speak out against the mass atrocity in Gaza, far too little and far too late. We can expect Israel and the United States to respond to this outcry by saying that Palestinians need to be evacuated out of Gaza as quickly as possible in order to rescue them from this deliberately manufactured humanitarian crisis. We can expect them to denounce anyone who opposes this ethnic cleansing operation as evil monsters who want to starve the poor Palestinians.

And it will all be lies. They lied this entire time.

It’s about the most evil thing you could possibly come up with, really. If this is not evil, then nothing is.

The evidence here is overwhelming, incontrovertible and undeniable.

The BBC systematically treats Palestinian life as having little meaning.

Its coverage is rigged in favour of pro-Israel narratives.

This is a public service broadcaster that you pay for.

[Tayab Ali @tayab_ali_]

To all UK MPs:

Keir Starmer is violating a clear constitutional convention by engaging troops in support of Israel.

As set out in the UK’s Cabinet Manual (2011), (para 5.38) there is a well-established expectation that Parliament should be consulted before committing UK armed forces to military action, except in cases of urgency.

There is no such urgency now - only silence.

The British public overwhelmingly opposes Israel’s actions in Gaza, according to YouGov polling. Yet Starmer would have our armed forces risk their lives in support of a state accused of genocide by the International Court of Justice and their leaders indicted at the ICC for war crimes without a single vote in Parliament.

This is a breach of constitutional convention, democratic duty, and moral integrity.

You were elected to represent the people. If the government won’t respect Parliament, Parliament must hold the government to account.

Demand a vote before British lives are put on the line for a foreign war the public does not support.

[Ayoub Khan MP @AyoubKhanMP]

The British public did not vote for this! Parliament must be recalled immediately to decide on this before we start putting our military in harms way and to waste £billions which we need in our country! Israel started this! So they can deal with it! https://t.co/lXppmEZ4F2

This is called Kidnapping, not an arrest as there is no legal ground.

[liam cunningham @liamcunningham1]

This is the reprehensible level the British media has stooped to. An act of piracy and kidnapping described as this.
Beyond parody. This is where we are.
