I AM sure that everyone can agree that the news coming from Israel and Gaza over the last month has been barbaric, to say the least.
The brutal terror attacks by Hamas that savagely took the lives of more than 1400 Israelis cannot be and will never be justifiable. It is estimated that Hamas still hold more than 200 Israeli citizens hostage, including children and elderly people. The repugnant way in which people are being forced to endure murder, torture and rape is incomprehensible.
As if aerial bombardment by one of the most powerful military forces in the world isn’t bad enough, it was accompanied by the cutting off of all food, water, communications, electricity, medical supplies and fuel to Gaza. Thus leaving more than 2.3 million innocent people – some from our own shores – starving, dehydrated, and scared of what comes next.This is the definition of collective punishment.
Whether it is Sunak or wannabe prime-minister-in-waiting Starmer, the reality is that the UK is shamelessly failing in its duty to encourage a de-escalation and a peaceful resolution.
