David Lammy's visit to Israel was a stupid mistake and Palestinians tell me they see the foreign secretary's handshake with bloodstained Benjamin Netanyahu as showing zero respect for 38,000 killed in Gaza. My report from Jerusalem for Middle East Eye:

I have joined other independent MPs in writing to the Foreign Secretary, reminding him of the government's obligations under international law.
That involves dropping any legal challenge over the ICC's application for an arrest warrant of Israeli's PM Benjamin Netanyahu.
Citizens are calling on the Olympic committee to ban Israel while the assault on Gaza continues. I’ve just signed the petition to support the ban - will you add your name too? https://t.co/Napafwjm9T
90 people in Gaza killed, including many women and children, in Israel’s effort to get one hamas militant. How can that be acceptable? Where is the international outcry??? https://t.co/2SoQZH4TVS
Unlike in Kiev, This is what willfully targeting civillians looks and sounds like.
American bombs, dropped by American F16's, flown by American trained Israeli pilots (many with US passports)
No outraged media, no circulation of false photoshopped images, no condemnation.
"Palestinians in Gaza keep being forced to move like human pinballs across a landscape of destruction of death... nowhere is safe, everywhere is a potential killing zone"
António Guterres from the UN
Donald Trump got a bullet through his right ear, and the shooter was killed, and the world was hit by a tsunami.
The Palestinians get thousands of bullets every day, and the shooters are free, supported by the West, and the world doesn't move an inch.
It's an affront to democracy that cabinet ministers are funded by pro-Israel lobbyists, particularly as Israel is engaged in genocide. Imagine the uproar had ministers accepted funding from Nazi sympathisers in the 1930s, yet the msm is silent.

The heroism of the Yemeni people is truly astounding.
The more that the U.S. bombs and Saudi Arabia sanctions, the harder their resolve to stand with Palestine 🇵🇸 becomes.
We will be talking about their resistance for generations, eternity.
AIPAC should have to register as a foreign agent and should be banned from spending money to influence US elections. AIPAC spending has drowned out debate and bought a US government that is aiding and abetting genocide. #Debate2024
