The leaders of the United Kingdom, France, and Canada issue a joint statement condemning Israel’s handling of the humanitarian situation in Gaza and calling on the Israeli government to immediately halt military action in the enclave and allow in aid, threatening “further concrete actions in response” if Israel refuses.
The three leaders call Israel’s announcement yesterday to allow a limited amount of aid into Gaza “wholly inadequate” and say the country’s failure to assist the Gazan civilian population “is unacceptable and risks breaching International Humanitarian Law.”
The countries also reject the prospect of “permanent forced displacement” of Gazan civilians, and rebuke members of the Israeli government for using “abhorrent language… threatening that, in their despair at the destruction of Gaza, civilians will start to relocate.”
It’s about time. Now back it up with action. The UN should be there preventing Israeli troops from harming people.
Absolutely this. How the world can stand by and watch is disgusting.
Last I heard, concrete is supposed to be real & tangible, unlike the action they’re threatening.
I doubt whatever they’re using is up to code.
There’ll be a strongly worded letter in the next weapon shipment.
A terse finger wagging
not doing shit except talk is a concrete action, i agree
or should we talk about the weapons these three states alone have sent so far?
they are running a fucking game on you
Something appears to be happening because Israel is at least letting in an absurbdly minimal amount of aid. I’m glad that they are not accepting it as sufficient and finally the word sanctions is brought up.
by “you” i meant the reader not you the poster, just to be clear
i am loathe to give these goverments in particular any credit at all, doing less than the minimum after de facto full support for many months
there does appear to be a vibe shift though and i am certainly glad for every person who survives because of it, but i refuse to give these criminals any credit
I too loathe that these hypocrites are pretending to finally notice something which has been going on for two years. But pushing them away is not a solution. Sadly we need to embrace these hypocrites and praise them for finally changing their stance in the hopes that more will follow.
We can still call them out on being very late. And hopefully in the future when “everyone has always been against this” push the government to proscecute all those who were accomplices for war crimes. But at least for now while the overton window is shifting there is no real point in fighting against it. Make it easy for more hypocrites to switch sides against genocide.
WW3 incoming with U.S. on the side of the baddies in 3, 2, 1.
I mean, US companies worked with the nazis well into the war, with IBM famously facilitating the holocaust.
Maybe Israel should gift trump a big yacht soon.
Donald Trump doesn’t really care about Israel. I don’t think this’ll be a trigger for war, at most it’ll just trigger an all-caps Truth Social post.
They’ve finally realised that aiding and abetting the worst human atrocity since the 1940s is not good optics.
But until they take genuine concrete action to reign in the savagery, and to support the ICC in enforcing the arrest warrants, it is nothing more than bullshit
Wonder where I heard that before
Year 1930s
