‘In March this year, the UN Special Rapporteur on the human rights situation in the occupied territories determined that the “political system of entrenched rule” in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip “satisfies the prevailing evidentiary standard for the existence of apartheid”. In November, the UN Special Rapporteur on the right to adequate housing reached the same conclusion in relation to Israel’s policies of home demolitions. Some states, including South Africa, condemned Israeli apartheid, echoing statements by Palestinian, Israeli and international human rights organizations. Despite this growing recognition, Israel continued to enjoy impunity thanks to the support of its key allies.

In October, the United Nations Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and in Israel, concluded that the occupation of the OPT is unlawful due to its permanence and Israel’s measures to annex Palestinian land in law and in practice. In 2022, such measures included retroactive authorization of settlement outposts, including by the Israeli Supreme Court (Amnesty International).’

This is the background to the current war. America the UK and other countries supply the arms to Israel that are now being used by Israel, in breach of international law to kill thousands of civilians in Gaza.

Since the start of the war of terror on Gaza, people have demonstrated and marched in support of the Palestinians around the world. These photographs were taken in Liverpool on Sunday October 29th 2023.

When questioned about the demonstrations, after an emergency COBRA meeting chaired by Rishi Sunak, Home secretary Ms Braverman said: “To my mind there is only one way to describe those marches: they are hate marches.” As these photographs show, Braverman is a Liar.
