Labour party delegates have voted that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza and should be sanctioned, in a shock development at the annual party conference.
The unprecedented move means that the Labour conference has officially accepted the findings of a recent UN Commission of Inquiry report, which found that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, and has backed comprehensive sanctions on Israel and a full arms embargo.
It signals significant discontent among the Labour rank and file with government policy. Britain recognised a Palestinian state last week but has rejected calls to denounce Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocide.
Is this meaningful? It seems like Sir Kierenfuhrer just gets to YOLO across a thousand years of building a modern nonfascist state…
It is meaningful in one way.
