It is incredibly anti-Semitic to conflate the genocide being committed by the IDF with Jews everywhere.
Yet this is precisely what pro-Israel figures have sought to do in response to our campaign letter, which calls for Britons who fought for the IDF in Gaza to be investigated in line with international and domestic law.
Under the Geneva Convention, the UK government is obligated to do everything in its power to prevent and punish genocide.
That would include preventing its own citizens from participating in an active genocide, and ensuring that those who do are not complicit in war crimes.
Universal jurisdiction also allows for courts to prosecute individuals committing the most serious international crimes - such as genocide, war crimes, and torture - regardless of where the act occurred.
Notwithstanding these legal obligations, over 2,000 British-Israelis have served for the IDF amid the Gaza genocide and not one of them has been prosecuted or even seriously investigated.
The right-wing media has rounded on Zack Polanski, the only Jewish leader of major political party, for signing his name to these very basic demands. He has been subjected to some of the most disgusting abuse I have seen on this website.
Fortunately, most people are not buying it. The letter has been signed by prominent figures including human rights lawyer Michael Mansfield, anti-apartheid campaigner Andrew Feinstein, genocide scholar Martin Shaw, Palestinian surgeon Ghassan Abu Sittah, as well as almost 16,000 members of the public.
The pro-Israel lobby and right-wing press want to intimidate people who are demanding basic accountability and the upholding of international law.
It's important not to be cowed. You can sign the letter here: https://t.co/86vTdnuNO1
