Press Release
A Government Guilty of War Crimes is Desperate to Silence Criticism

British government officials have been warned that they may be prosecuted as individuals for war crimes, due to their overt encouragement and support for the ongoing genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. A Conservative Party MP who is co-director of The International Centre of Justice for Palestinians wrote to the Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Scotland Yard’s War Crimes Unit telling government officials to rollback their previous support of the Zionist’s illegal war against Palestinians.

The Zionist Entity’s attacks on Gaza have already been disproportionate, indiscriminately killing women, the elderly, and hundreds of children, including entire families during the first week. They are using white phosphorus against the civilian population of Gaza. The order to evacuate Gaza and cutting electricity, food and water off have been an effective death sentence to vulnerable and hospitalised citizens. All of the above acts are in breach of laws that Britain is subject to, and hence illegal by their own standard.

Yet the British government continues to disregard any sense of morality, justice or respect for any kind of law, as it offers military and financial support to the illegal invasion, as well as promoting Zionist propaganda to dehumanise the Palestinians as a justification for this genocide.

Such a warning is unlikely to deter the British government, who had instigated and been responsible for countless genocidal atrocities during its colonial hay day until today.

What a sorry state of affairs for the British government! Fully exposed for complicity in Zionist war crimes against Palestinians, it resorts to threats of prosecution to forcibly assimilate those who oppose its murderous foreign policy against Muslims in Palestine.

We have been told that there is only one side to Palestine, that of the Zionist Occupation. No lie is beneath them to shore up support for their fanatical genocide. As armistice day approaches on November 11th, and Britons are told to wear poppies and say “never again”, the government will barely notice their hypocrisy as it perpetrated yet another European genocide.

But the rest of the world will notice and will remember that their professed values of respect for human life and dignity, their human rights and their democratic freedoms mean nothing at all when the interests of the colonial elite are at stake.

And that is all this murder and war is about them; their desperate and greedy desire to control the world for their own profit, such that no amount of oppression and killing is too much, and no dictator too diabolical to withdraw their support.

We call upon the just people in the world to demand the withdrawal of all Western military from the region, to remove all financial support from the Zionists, including the surrounding Arab rulers who are of them. The time has come to end this criminal occupation that is an abomination against humankind. The time has come for the Muslims of the region to restore the Khilafah (Caliphate) on the way of Prophethood, to bring real peace and justice to the world once more.
