Great British Energy BillContribution
Earlier this month, the UN reported that Israel had committed war crimes and the crime against humanity of extermination in Gaza, adding to the International Court of Justice’s conclusion in January that Israel’s actions may plausibly amount to genocide. Most British people want an immediate ceasefire and an end to the UK’s complicity. They are sick and tired of the double standards, with politicians lining up to condemn and sanction Russian aggression in Ukraine yet defend the most heinous crimes of Israel. Our compassion for Palestinian lives is not inversely proportional to our compassion for Israeli lives, or vice versa. All lives are equal, and our compassion must also be equal.
