Children are dying of hunger. Gaza is being starved while the world debates. @lammydavid.bsky.social @teamlabouruk.bsky.social @ukgovernment.bsky.social You called it “unspeakable” and “indefensible.” Then act. 🔹 Open crossings 🔹 Cut arms sales 🔹 Recognise Palestine #Gaza #CeasefireNow

Gaza is being deliberately starved to death in front of the whole world, and the only people being arrested over it are those who opposed the crime.

My MP is literally ignoring me now as I keep calling for them to speak out in parliament against #Gaza #Genocide. Well done @teamlabouruk.bsky.social you’ve been incredible at turning your back on every principle and sense of moral decency since you got power.

We need action, not empty words. The UK government must show real backbone by immediately halting all arms exports to Israel - whether direct or indirect - including components for F-35 fighter jets.
A photo of David Lammy and Benjamin Netanyahu shaking hands with a tweet from Amnesty over the top which says:

Empty words from the Foreign Secretary - the statement lacks any resolve, leadership or action to help end the genocide in Gaza. 1/4🧵

Amnesty's tweet is in response to a tweet from David Lammy that reads:
The suffering of civilians in Gaza has reached new depths.

Alongside 25 other partners, the UK message is clear: the war in Gaza must end now.

The UK govt must also use every political, legal & diplomatic tool to help end Israel’s genocide, dismantle its apartheid regime & bring the illegal occupation to an end. Without decisive action, the relentless assault on Palestinians will escalate further, with even more devastating consequences.

The barbarism that’s been unleashed in Gaza could have been stopped again and again. Still, so many world leaders are doing barely anything (the Hague group, Spain, Ireland are notable exceptions). Can only mean int’l law is weakened, human rights as a concept eroded and ofc more Gazans suffering
