British historian on how colonialism led to the ‘genocide in Gaza’
"The British people are not taught the dark history of our responsibility for this mess."
Speaking at a mass march in central London on Saturday, Scottish historian William Dalrymple delivered a powerful speech condemning Britain’s historic and ongoing role in the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. The demonstration, marking the 77th anniversary of the Nakba, drew an estimated 600,000 people who marched to Downing Street in solidarity with Palestine.
Speaking near Downing Street, he highlighted the British Empire’s role in disarming Palestinians, enabling the 1948 catastrophe expulsion of 750,000 people, and the dehumanising views of figures like Winston Churchill.
He also brought to attention today’s UK government of enabling Israel’s genocide in Gaza through military and diplomatic support — including over 500 Royal Air Force surveillance flights allegedly aiding Israeli war crimes. Dalrymple called out UK politicians for supporting Israel’s genocide in Gaza while denouncing the silence of institutions like the BBC, and urged Britain to take responsibility by supporting Palestinian statehood and justice.
Disgusted on Gaza, UK MP says he will vote for Palestine; Netanyahu allows aid
UK MP from Conservative Party, Mark Pritchard, who supported Israel for 20 years has now said that he will vote for the recognition of an Independent State of Palestine. Pritchard last week confessed that he regretted ever supporting Israel in light of the siege of Gaza, causing starvation for hundreds of thousands of people. Rifat Jawaid explains why this and Netanyahu government’s decision to allow the entry of aid into Gaza are is massive developments.

The pressure is starting to work, yet much more is needed. So far the limited aid concession doesn't mean anything yet while killing record numbers of civilians daily. Plus it's only about limited food while hospitals and rescue services are out of everything.
