Palestinians struggle to get donated food at a community kitchen in Gaza City, northern Gaza Strip, July 14, 2025
JEREMY CORYBN is to host a “Gaza tribunal” to establish the full scale of British complicity in Israel’s genocide.
The tribunal, to be held over two days in September, will hear from witnesses and survivors, as well as a range of international law experts, lawyers and whistleblowers.
Mr Corbyn first made the call for an inquiry in a letter to Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer in March.
He presented the Gaza (Independent Public Inquiry) Bill to Parliament on June 4, which passed its first reading.
But on July, during its second reading, the government objected to the Bill, blocking any further progress despite it gaining the support of more than 50 MPs and numerous organisations.
Mr Corbyn said: “Just like Iraq, government ministers are doing everything they can to hide the truth.
“Just like Iraq, they will not succeed. They cannot stop the inevitable: a full and independent inquiry.
“We will uncover the full scale of British complicity in genocide — and we will bring about justice for the people of Palestine.”
The Independent MP for Islington North’s tribunal announcement comes as more than 80 MPs and Lords demanded the government impose widespread sanctions on Israel today.
The 84 parliamentarians from nine parties have made the call over Israel’s repeated violations of international law.
They laid out their demands in a letter organised by MPs Richard Burgon and Imran Hussain, to Foreign Secretary David Lammy.
Keir Starmer objects to criticism of the IDF. He asks how could anyone obect to them starving people to death, forced marches like the Nazis did, bombing Gaza’s hospitals and universities,mass-murdering journalists, healthworkers and starving people queuing for food, killing and raping prisoners and murdering children. He calls for people to stop obstructing his genocide for Israel.Vote Labour for Genocide.UK Labour Party government ministers Keir Starmer, Angela Rayner and Rachel Reeves explain that they are partners complicit in Israel’s Gaza genocide.

After Israel announces it’s building a concentration camp, condemning the few politicians speaking out is morally twisted
Israel has announced that it will drive Gaza’s survivors into a concentration camp, before they’re all expelled.
Those who refuse will be exterminated. In the words of Israeli newspaper Israel Hayom, “those outside these zones will later be identified as Hamas terrorists, providing legal justification for their elimination.”
Enter Dave Rich, a professed expert on antisemitism and the Director of Policy at the Community Security Trust (CST), whose stated mission is to protect Jewish security in Britain. They work closely with government and the police, but have been condemned by, amongst others, the Jewish peace movement Na’amod for their vilification of Jewish opponents of Israel’s genocide, alongside anti-genocide protests more broadly.
Confronted with Israel openly committing to a grave war crime, who does Rich reserve his ire for?
The few British politicians condemning the crime.
…
Those who engage in atrocity denial receive damning judgements from history, and rightly so. Israel is planning to concentrate the Palestinian population in a camp, where they will be forbidden from leaving. Those who do not oblige will be regarded as legitimate military targets. This is a concentration camp.
The claim that this is a “humanitarian zone” is a perverse, Orwellian upending of the English language. We already know how Israel interprets ‘humanitarian’ given the experience of the so-called ‘Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’. In this case, after Israel imposed a total siege on Gaza from 2nd March – an objective, incontrovertible war crime – this Israeli-American front brought in limited amounts of often unusable aid, focused in the south in an attempt to coerce the population into depopulating the north.
The Israeli army then repeatedly massacred hundreds of unarmed Palestinian civilians – who it had deliberately starved – at these aid points. The UN Human Rights Office yesterday reported that 798 Palestinians had been killed at aid points since the end of May – more than the total number of Israeli civilians (695) killed on 7th October. 798 is a hideous number – but represents only a tiny fraction of Palestinian civilians killed by Israel.
These are closed military zones where only the Israel “Defense” Forces operate. We know from the testimonies of Palestinians that they are being fired at by the Israeli army, but Palestinian testimonies are treated as worthless because they are barely considered human by Western media outlets and politicians.

Keir Starmer warns against following the https://onaquietday.org blog.
I’ll be doing a message to Labour Party members and MPs explaining why I am so opposed to them, why I hold them responsible for Starmer’s actions (re: support, active participation and complicity in Israel’s Gaza genocide, attacks on the poor and vulnerable), how I intend to continue to oppose the UK Labour party, etc.

Diane Abbott speaking at the People’s Assembly Against Austerity protest in central London, June 7, 2025
DIANE ABBOTT is not so much guilty of thought crime as the crime of thinking. In her response to question put to her by Radio 4’s James Naughtie (and recorded in May before the present ructions in the Parliamentary Labour Party) she simply said: “Clearly, there must be a difference between racism which is about colour and other types of racism because you can see a Traveller or a Jewish person walking down the street, you don’t know.”
She then went on to remark: “I just think that it’s silly to try and claim that racism which is about skin colour is the same as other types of racism. I don’t know why people would say that.”
Keir Starmer’s reimposition of the verbot on Abbott’s membership of the Parliamentary Labour Party arrived without anything resembling a rational examination of the manifestly sensible things she said and without any reasoned argument against.
It is, and was intended as such, as an arbitrary act of punishment, designed to isolate her and render toxic a rational discussion of racism.
You might think that Starmer and his praetorian guard would think about the way this might be understood in black communities, particularly as this all occurs alongside a violent racist riot in a neighbouring constituency to hers.
…
Starmer sees it as another opportunity to buttress his complicity in the Gaza genocide to strengthen his police regime which has driven hundreds of thousands out of the Labour Party, shed millions of Labour voters and is creating something of a panic in a Parliamentary Labour Party whose members, if they lack the courage to confront him, still retain the capacity to count and thus know they face certain defeat.

MP Diane Abbott addressing the People’s Assembly Britain is Broken national demonstration in central London, November 5, 2022
SUSPENDING Diane Abbott on the same day a far-right mob attacked police and anti-racists reveals Labour’s “rank hypocrisy,” Stand Up To Racism (SUTR) said yesterday.
The campaign group slammed the party for censuring Britain’s first black woman MP and leading anti-racist while its leader, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, stoked anti-immigrant sentiment with a speech implying Britain was becoming “an island of strangers.”
Anti-racists were surrounded by masked far-right thugs on Thursday night after staging a counter demonstration to an anti-immigration protest outside a hotel in Epping, Essex.
Riot police swarmed the streets after police vans were vandalised and officers assaulted by groups of men trying to reach the hotel.
SUTR co-convener Sabby Dhalu said: “On the same evening as a violent racist riot targeting asylum-seekers erupted outside the Bell Hotel in Epping Forest, Labour decided to suspend Diane Abbott, Britain’s first black woman MP and a leading anti-racist.
