BRITISH FOREIGN SECRETARY DENIES THE OBVIOUS ON GAZA

The British government is refuting a reality that has been livestreamed and documented to the world for over 19 months now: Israel’s military onslaught against Palestinians in Gaza, with the support of the United Kingdom. 

UK Member of Parliament Zarah Sultana (@zarahsultana on X) called out the UK for denying weapons sales to Israel, to which UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy (@DavidLammy on X) feigned ignorance and then accused Sultana of being ‘keen on clickbait.’

In reality, like many Western countries such as Germany, Italy and the US, the UK has provided support to Israel for decades and since the 7 October escalation of Israel’s 77-year occupation of Palestine. In addition to the nearly $173 million in arms sales, Britain has abstained from UN resolutions calling for a ceasefire. The UK has also reportedly flown fighter jets from Cyprus to aid Israel in its military onslaught against Palestinians.

Israel had k*lled as many as 186,000 Palestinians by July 2024, according to British medical journal The Lancet. The UN also reported on 12 May that '470,000 people in Gaza are facing catastrophic hunger' as Israel blocks aid deliveries.
