>> Four former senior British Army officers have called on the government to impose a full arms embargo on Israel and a ban on involvement with any Israeli-owned or Israeli-supported defence companies.
In a letter to Sir Keir Starmer, they said that despite the fragile ceasefire in place in Gaza “now is not the time to return to business as usual with the Israeli government”.

>> The former officers said the evidence of war crimes was “so well documented and compelling that the British government should cut all military collaboration with Israel forthwith, to avoid the charge of complicity”…

Suddenly four officers dissapear from records and appear in jail for "terrorism".

I fear money will once again be far far greater than the smallest skerrick of decency/empathy.
