Bob Marshall-Andrews MP calls Israel a "Pariah State"


The outstanding Labour MP Bob Marshall Andrews has a written a superb article for Labour List about Israel following a trip to Gaza.

The actions of Israel towards Gaza are indefensible at any level. This is now a pariah state. This ruthless, genocidal repression is the worst in today’s world. It is worse than the Sudan, worse than the Congo, worse than Burma – a large claim but true, and that truth lies not in the identity and suffering of the victims but in the identity and nature of the perpetrators. This deliberate policy of mass starvation, intimidation, destruction and casual slaughter is not perpetrated by warlords or Juntas. It is not the work of the Lords Army or the Ton Ton Macoute. This is the deliberate systematic, lawless cruelty of an apparently democratic state allied to the most powerful nation on earth, a nation which daily colludes in its atrocities and provides impunity for its swaggering extra judicial murder.

  1. Good Stuff.

    Need more of our MP's to speak up.

    Let's hope "they" don't get him like they did Jenny Tonge.

    What the zionists do so well is to forment a coherent hasbara policy that pay's for MP's to go to israel, where they are systematically brainwashed into seeing the so called atrocities committed against the zionist state.

    Lets send more MP's to Gaza & the occupied terrtories of Palestine, you wanna help me start a collection on jummah?

    If only.
