ANSELM ELDERGILL draws attention to a legal case on Tuesday in which a human rights group is challenging the government’s decision to allow the sale of weapons used against Palestinians

A FOUR-DAY High Court hearing begins on Tuesday in which Al-Haq, a Palestinian human rights organisation, is challenging the government’s decision to continue granting licences to sell F-35 fighter jet components and other weapons to Israel. Oxfam, Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have intervened in the case.

Public statements by Israeli officials make it clear that F-35s are regularly used in military attacks on Gaza. The British government accepts there is a “clear risk that the items might be used to commit or facilitate serious violations of international law.” It has also admitted that Israel is not committed to complying with international humanitarian law. However, it says that stopping the F-35 licences would “cause disruption to the global supply chain,” which will have a profound impact on international peace and security.

Al-Haq considers that this is an extraordinary position to take. According to its general director, “Gaza is destroyed, it is unliveable. Palestinians in Gaza have been killed and erased by weapons whose components are supplied to Israel by the British government, acting in full knowledge of the consequences.”

The Arms Trade Treaty of 2014 regulates the international trade in conventional arms. Authorising the export of weapons and related items is prohibited if a government knows that the arms or items would be used in the commission of genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, grave breaches of the Geneva Conventions of 1949 or attacks on civilian objects or protected civilians.

Aid workers slam plans by US contractors to take over Gaza aid distribution

AID workers expressed strong criticism today of plans by a group of US security contractors, former military officers and humanitarian aid officials to take over the distribution of food and other supplies in Gaza in line with proposals drawn up by Israel.

The newly created Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is reportedly attempting to implement a new aid distribution system that supplants the current arrangement run by the United Nations and other international aid agencies. 

The UN and aid groups have rejected the Israeli authorities’ attempts to control aid distribution.

Israel has blocked food, fuel, medicine and all other supplies from entering Gaza for 10 weeks, worsening a humanitarian crisis affecting 2.3 million Palestinians, and said that it won’t allow aid back in until a system is in place that gives it control over distribution.

The 14-page proposal circulated this week among aid groups and UN officials lays out plans similar to ones Israel has been discussing privately with international aid groups for weeks. For the first time, the proposal reveals plans to create the foundation and names the people who would be in charge.

A UN official said last week that Israel’s plans would “weaponise aid” by placing restrictions on who is eligible to receive it.

Aid workers have also condemned the plans, which would centralise distribution at four hubs under the protection of private security contractors. 

Norwegian Refugee Council communications adviser Shaina Low warned that by forcing the population to relocate around aid hubs, the system would “depopulate entire parts of Gaza” and could be used to potentially expel the population.

Tamara Alrifai, communications director for the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, which has led the aid effort it Gaza, described the plan as setting “a very dangerous precedent” for countries to use “full siege as a tactic of war” to force the abandonment of “existing aid structures and the entire international system that exists and is recognised and start creating a new system.”

UK firms have exported thousands of military items including munitions to Israel despite the government suspending key arms export licences to the country in September, new analysis of trade data shows.

The research also raises questions over whether the UK continued to sell F-35 parts directly to Israel in breach of an undertaking only to sell them to the US manufacturers Lockheed Martin as a way of ensuring the fighter jet’s global supply chain was not disrupted, something the government said was essential for national security and Nato.

The findings have led the former Labour shadow chancellor John McDonnell to call for a full investigation, adding it was a resigning matter if the foreign secretary, David Lammy, was shown to have misled parliament in breach of the ministerial code when he told MPs in September that much of what the UK sends to Israel was “defensive in nature”.

McDonnell said “The government has shrouded its arms supplies to Israel in secrecy. They must finally come clean in response to this extremely concerning evidence and halt all British arms exports to Israel to ensure no British-made weapons are used in Netanyahu’s new and terrifying plans to annex the Gaza Strip and ethnically cleanse the land.”

Neo-Fascist because they are pursuing racist genocide just like the Nazis did. The Nazis were the New Fascists when they were in power.

I would like to see the whole Labour government and more – members of the military and air force – prosecuted for genocide, war crimes or even strung up.

We have to realise that USA, UK and Israel are partners in this genocide. The USA provide many arms, The UK provides many arms and has provided military and air force support from the outset. Now the USA and UK assist in bombing Yemen.

Nobody can seriously say that it is not genocide. The UK Labour Party are committing genocide.
