Israel has just massacred over 350 Palestinians - including women and children - through the night. We have woken up to another atrocity, and a blatant war crime.

Israel’s campaign in Gaza is nothing short of genocidal. Their actions have made it undeniably clear: the Israeli government has no interest in acting within the framework of international law or to secure a just and lasting peace; for their own people or for Palestine.

For 17 days, life-saving food, water, and electricity have been withheld from a starved population. For 18 months, Israel has brutalised the entire region and decimated every inch of infrastructure. What remains is a medieval nightmare.

After 18 months, the UK Government has finally declared that Israel has breached international law by blockading aid to Gaza. We demand that the UK Government immediately take a bold and unequivocal stance against this latest atrocity and the ongoing genocide. 

We cannot afford another 18 months of silence and complicity in war crimes.
