Stop selling arms to Israel then.
Alongside Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and other partners, the UK condemns the approval of 19 new settlements in Palestine by the Israeli Security Cabinet and calls for this decision to be reversed. International law must be respected in pursuit of a lasting peace. 👇

Unlike BBC Breakfast, Skys reporter points out Bethlehem is in the occupied West Bank and is surrounded by the [apartheid] wall, & she goes on to explain there was a debate whether Christmas should be celebrated as "Israeli strikes are still killing civilians in Gaza"

🇬🇧To the UK government: the more people you arrest to shamefully cover up Israel's genocide the more decent people will stand up against you in the name of human rights. In the end, we will all make sure that the leaders who are complicit with Israel genocide will face justice.
BREAKING: Greta Thunberg arrested under the Terrorism Act for holding a sign which says "I support Palestine Action prisoners. I oppose genocide" She was detained at the Prisoners for Palestine action at Aspen Insurance in London, insurers for Israeli weapons firm Elbit Systems.
