British ministers are betting that they cannot face justice for the complexity of Gaza. This is a great risk to be made | Owen Jones

art The terrible point of tipping in Gaza reached. The number of people who admit hospital or die from hunger spreading. The journalists’ union for France-Presse agency (AFP) issued a statement declaring “without intervention, the last journalists in Gaza” will die of hunger.

It’s terrible to be shocking, but not surprising: Then, we now more than 140 days in the entire shutdown of Israel. In May, Israel eliminates the effective method of delivering a dystopian system in which Palestinians are forced to compete with constant unavailable help, and shot it while doing so. About 1,000 civilians were killed while seeking food since the end of May. “There is no case since World War of Hungry Hungry Very Hungry Designed and Controlled,” Declarar Alex de Waalone of the leading experts in the world of hunger. Under Geneva Conventions, “Hunger of civilians as a war method is forbidden”.

Against this backdrop, on Monday the former Trimet Minister of Cabinet Minister Malamament stood in Parliament and asked the foreigner’s secretary, David LammyIf he “does not see personal risk for him, given our international obligations, so he will end up in Hague because of his giving?” Lammy knelt in the shipping box and adopted a tone of solemn frustration, as a person can do when trying to rise on top of an unbearable insult. “I had to tell him that it was in charge of his argument when he financed it in the way he did,” he shot back.

But malmohouse does not use abuse. In fact, the managed Deputy Speaker did not rebuke him for non-Ararlanamentary language. Lammy deliberately introduces personal attacks to avoid answering the question. Alas, like our Prime Minister, he is a lawyer by trade, and he must know that Genocide Convention in 1948 They identify five punishable works: one of them is “Genocide Complex”. He should know that convention signatures have a legal obligation “to prevent and punish” genocide crime. He also had to know that his country was signing the convention on the day it was published, and it was included in the law 55 years ago.

Israel’s official primary leadership is that, When it’s doneNo Palestinians to stay in Gaza. “We stripped more houses, and the Gazans could not return,” Benjamin netanyahu broke. It built what was former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert says a “concentration camp” As the first step before the survivors of Gaza. Eyal Benvenisti – The Israeli lawyer Who is part of the legal team that defends it against genocide accusations in the International Court of Justice – says this is a “crime of war” and “fits the meaning of a ‘crime against a’ crime against humanity ‘”. After he had signed a letter It expresses this plan “under certain conditions, can be the value of genocide crime”.

Indeed, international law does not leave doubt. If the UK is in line with Arms Trade Treaty in 2014It accepts that it is not necessary to “allow any transfer of custom weapons … If it has knowledge at the time of approval … (that is available to commission commission or crime against war”. It also accepts that it includes “parts and components” is important to the action of “Catct Aircraft”. Government of Lammy Israel gave Israel with components that are important for movement of F-35 jetswhose bombs inadvertently destroy civilian infrastructure and target the bodies of small children. Lammy also knew that Britain was a member of the International Criminal Court, which last year Design Warrants Issued For Netanyahu and his former Minister of Defense for war crimes and crimes against mankind.

If successfully defends the selling of F-35 components in High Court, the government offers its assessment without seeing it Evidence of women and children deliberately targeted at Gaza, and no serious risk of a genocide. This is contrary to many American doctors and nurses serving Gaza, which last year did they Received Bodies of Palestinian children shot at the head or chest of the Snipers of Israel. Israeli soldiers confessed that they deliberately target children. Nick Maynard – A British doctor who works at Gaza Nasser Hospital – says that He saw clusters of young teenagers shot at different parts of the body: a day, it was the stomach, one, the head or neck, in the testicles. “So there’s a clear pattern and it’s almost like a play played,” he said.

The official position of the Genocide government refusal is contrary to the approval of the actual genocide scholars who have dedicated their life in the field. That includes Israel’s academics such as Omer Bartov, a pre-existing professor of Holocaust and genocide studies, saying as an official IDF he had reach his conclusion: “But I teach genocide types for a quarter of a century. I can recognize one if I see one.”

Those who facilitate or justify this disgust have no excuses, no place to hide. More than a year ago, the legal team in South Africa composed one dossier Detail the statements of genocidal and criminal purposes given to Israeli leaders: 121 – Pages long. There are many video footage of civilians killed and civilian infrastructure destroyed than any other war crime as the occurrence of history.

Although Israel’s British supply of important components of the F-35, its government refuses to describe as a “crime of war”, because it is known that the prompting of legal obligations. Britain went on Annual trade In Israel, that last year cost £ 5.8bn. Days after the disposition of the Watching Trade Treaty TalkEmbassy in Britain in Israel Celebrates the arrival In the UK Trade Envoy. When Britain was executed by two distant ministers of Israel, it was made by the reasons for their “terrible language spoken”, instead of the actions, because the latter moves the British government. They refuse to inflict meaningful sanctions on Israel himself.

by Palestinian movement progressThe government is credited with these guards of genocide facing before the port of here and now. Our foreign secretary has no doubt that the inconvenience that is habitually enjoying the leaders of the west and in Israel himself will protect him and his companions. That assumes the wind will never change. No Limit Limit for Genocide Complex. Israeli crime is not yet complete. Lammy must believe that his freedom is safe forever: without knocking on his door in five, 10, 20 years. That’s the bet.
