Tribunal says ministers should face ICC investigation for failing to prevent genocide in Gaza

MINISTERS should face investigation by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for failing to prevent a genocide in Gaza, Jeremy Corbyn’s Gaza Tribunal has said.

The former Labour leader predicted that the landmark investigation will have a profound impact on the US and its allies’ wars in the Middle East as its 112-page final report was released today.

He hailed the report as “our weapon” for peace, accountability and to let the Establishment “know we are watching them.”

The tribunal calls for a full investigation by the ICC into Britain’s actions in response to the conflict, as well as an independent public inquiry into any co-operation between Britain and Israel since October 2023.

It accuses the government of failing to prevent genocide in Gaza and says that Britain was complicit in Israel’s actions that a UN commission said had constituted a genocide last year.

At least 70,000 Palestinians have been killed since the conflict began but some experts believe the true death toll is much higher.

Mr Corbyn, who is now Your Party’s parliamentary leader, added: “What it means for the Labour Party is they have got to recognise that a Labour government has been complicit in wholly illegal activities: in the bombardment and acts of genocide against the people of Palestine.

“They’ve got to get real with this.”

The Gaza tribunal took evidence from lawyers, medical professionals, former Foreign Office officials and Palestinians over a series of hearings in September.

It focused largely on whether Britain should have done more to end its co-operation with Israel to avoid being accused of failing to meet its duty to prevent a genocide.

Its findings are expected to add to Labour’s woes in the upcoming May local elections by seeing it lose further support to the Greens and Your Party over not doing enough to back the Palestinian cause.

Starmer attempts to make up with the warmongering US president as tens of thousands protest against the bombing of Iran over the weekend

SIR KEIR STARMER attempted to make friends with Donald Trump today after the warmongering US president criticised Britain’s slowness in joining the US-Israeli attack on Iran.

The Prime Minister spoke to Mr Trump about the countries’ military co-operation, Downing Street said, after the decision not to grant permission for use of British bases in the first wave of military action prompted a raft of criticism from the Republican leader.

Sir Keir has now granted permission for “defensive” US action against Iranian missile sites from British bases, despite opposition to war from the British public.

Over the weekend, four US bombers landed in RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, and the US started using British bases for “specific defensive operations.”

It came as tens of thousands gathered in protest against the bombing of Iran over the weekend.

Protesters carried signs reading “Stop Trump’s Wars” and “Stop Arming Israel,” as they marched to the US embassy in central London from Millbank.

Addressing the crowd outside the embassy, Your Party MP Zarah Sultana recalled the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq, telling the crowd: “Back then, we were told that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.

“We were told that war would bring peace and democracy.

“We were told that the war would protect Iraqis and protect the world, but the truth was very different.”

But “23 years ago, when we marched against the Iraq war, we were ignored,” she said.

“We will not be ignored again, because history proved them right.

“And today, we raise our voices for peace, for justice and for a world where governments learn the lessons of the past.”

A statement from former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, who could not attend the protest, was read to the crowd outside the embassy.

In the statement, Mr Corbyn, now also a Your Party MP, said: “For too long, the UK has blindly followed the US as it indulges in catastrophic interventions around the world.

“We are here to defend something different, a foreign policy based on co-operation, equality and sovereignty.

“Forever war is not a game. It has real-life human consequences, and US and Israel must be held accountable.”

Stop the War Coalition convener Lindsey German said every war “they have engaged in in the last 25 years, they’ve claimed they’ve done it to liberate women.”

“That’s what they’re saying about the war on Iran as well,” she said. “But the first thing that they did was to kill 165 young girls in a school.

“We should never, ever believe their lies.”

She told Sir Keir: “Stop appeasing Donald Trump all the way to world war three.

“We’re absolutely fed up with this gangster imperialism.”

Major protests to take place as campaigners warn against war on Iran

MAJOR demonstrations will be held outside the US embassy and at RAF Fairford today amid growing fears Donald Trump’s war on Iran will kill hundreds of thousands of people.

Campaigners warned that Britain was at a “dangerous turning point” as the US-Israel bombings of Tehran continues to escalate.

PM Sir Keir Starmer’s claims the US can only use British bases for so-called “defensive” bombings will be branded “nonsense” by Your Party leader Jeremy Corbyn MP, who is set to speak outside the embassy in central London.

Stop the War Coalition national convener Lindsey German said: “We are at such a dangerous turning point and must redouble our efforts to oppose Trump’s wars, to call for an end to our government’s support for them and to stop arming and backing Israel. 

“Keir Starmer knows the US and Israel are waging an illegal war on Iran, but the fact is Britain is deeply involved. 

“That’s why this is such an important demonstration in building a movement in this country as strong as the Palestine movement, as strong as the opposition to the Iraq war — one that rejects a world based on barbarism and Trump’s gangster imperialism and instead builds one based on peace and justice.”

Corbyn tables Commons Bill requiring Parliament’s approval before allowing foreign militaries to use British bases

LEFT MPs moved today to block Britain from being dragged deeper into the escalating attack against Iran.

Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn tabled a Commons Bill to require MPs’ approval before allowing foreign militaries to use British military bases.

The move comes as not only are US forces using the bases to pursue their illegal aggression, but British military forces are increasingly becoming directly involved in the conflict.

Mr Corbyn’s Military Action (Parliamentary Approval) Bill is co-sponsored by Labour, Green and Independent Alliance MPs and a response to PM Sir Keir Starmer’s agreement to allow US use of the bases. 

While it has scant chance of becoming law, it signals growing disquiet in Labour’s ranks and beyond about Britain getting bogged down in supporting US President Donald Trump’s attack.

It would “require parliamentary approval for the deployment of UK armed forces and military equipment for armed conflict” and “require parliamentary approval for the granting of permission by ministers for use of UK military bases and equipment by other nations for armed conflict.”

Its co-sponsors are new Green MP Hannah Spencer and her colleague Ellie Chowns, Adnan Hussein and Ayoub Khan from the Independent Alliance and Labour’s Bell Ribeiro-Addy, Brian Leishman, John McDonnell, Richard Burgon, Apsana Begum, as well as suspended Labour MP Diane Abbott.

Sir Keir is under growing pressure from Mr Trump to fall in line as British governments usually do, forcing the premier to assert in the Commons that the “special relationship” did not “depend on hanging on to President Trump’s latest word.”

Corbyn Accuses Starmer Government of ‘Echoing Tony Blair’s Obedience to Washington’

“Blair dragged the UK into an illegal war that triggered a spiral of hatred, conflict, and misery,” Corbyn said. “Twenty-three years later, another Labour prime minister is doing his best to follow in Blair’s footsteps.”

As UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer allows British bases to be used as part of the US-Israeli war against Iran, the former leader of his Labour Party says he’s making the same mistake that another Labour PM made 23 years ago.

Jeremy Corbyn, the socialist member of Parliament who led Labour from 2015 to 2020, said on Tuesday that Starmer was “echoing Tony Blair’s obedience to Washington”, referring to the then-prime minister’s decision in 2003 to join US President George W. Bush’s war in Iraq.

‘The Behavior of Rogue States’: Global Revulsion as US and Israel Launch War on Iran

“Ignoring the wisdom of ordinary people who could see the catastrophe ahead, Blair dragged the UK into an illegal war that triggered a spiral of hatred, conflict, and misery. More than a million Iraqi men, women, and children paid the price.” Corbyn wrote in a Tuesday piece for the democratic socialist publication Tribune.

Infamously pledging to Bush, “I will be with you, whatever,” Blair helped to promote the false claims that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction. And despite a lack of support from the United Nations, he joined Bush’s “coalition of the willing,” committing 46,000 British troops to the war.

“This was the last time a Labour prime minister blindly backed the wishes of the US and its warmongering president,” Corbyn said. “Twenty-three years later, another Labour prime minister is doing his best to follow in Blair’s footsteps and drag us into a catastrophic, illegal war.”

Unlike Bush, US President Donald Trump has not yet put boots on the ground in Iran, instead waging a destructive campaign of aerial bombings and missile strikes that have taken out the nation’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and other senior Iranian officials.

As of Monday, the Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA), a US-based monitor of human rights in Iran, reported that at least 742 civilians had been killed since Saturday by US and Israeli attacks, with nearly 1,000 injured and more than 600 deaths still under review.

While Starmer has stressed that the UK “had no role” in launching the war, he has lent credence to the questionable case the US and Israel have made to justify it, including emphasizing that Iran “must never have nuclear weapons.”

Iran has always contended its nuclear program was not for military purposes, and it had no desire to produce a nuclear weapon. Prior to Saturday’s strikes, reports indicated that Iranian negotiators had offered to give up the nation’s entire stockpile of enriched uranium.

And though he has accused Iran of launching “indiscriminate strikes” across the Gulf, Starmer has been reticent to criticize similar actions by the US and Israel, which have had vastly larger death tolls, including the bombing of a girls’ school that reportedly killed 165 people, most of them girls between ages 7 and 12, and attacks on several hospitals.

One day after the first strikes were conducted, and following mounting pressure from Trump, Starmer announced that he’d given the US approval for “specific, limited defensive” use of three Royal Air Force (RAF) bases—Fairford in England, Akrotiri in Cyprus, and Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean—in order to destroy Iran’s missiles “at source” after a drone hit Akrotiri, causing minimal damage.

However, Starmer continued to claim that the UK had learned the “mistakes of Iraq,” and “will not join offensive action now.”

Corbyn said that Starmer’s insistence that bases would only be used “defensively” was merely “meaningless vocabulary that reveals Starmer’s contempt for the intelligence of the British people.”

In Parliament on Monday, Starmer said that “the use of the bases is to allow the US to use its ability to take out the ability of Iran to launch the attacks in the first place.”

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Monday used similar reasoning to justify launching the war, explaining that Iran was likely to retaliate against a planned Israeli attack and that it therefore posed an “imminent threat” to US personnel even though that threat was contingent on Israel attacking first.

Corbyn described the idea of a “preemptive strike” as a contradiction in terms. “Under this convoluted reasoning,” he said, “almost any attack on anybody can be classified as a defensive measure. Starmer’s words are Newspeak—and cannot shield his government from complicity in the devastation ahead.”

Like in the United States, the British public has expressed low support for American and Israeli actions against Iran. According to a YouGov poll published on Monday, 49% disapprove of US military action, compared to 28% who support it. Fewer than 1 in 5 Labour voters said they supported it.

Voters also said they oppose their government’s involvement. Compared with just 32% of Brits who said they supported letting the US use British bases, 50% said they opposed it.

“For too long, Britain has blindly followed the US as it indulges in disastrous imperial fantasies,” Corbyn said, noting the UK’s continued support for Israel over two years of US-sponsored genocide in Gaza.

Corbyn is now an independent MP who co-founded a new political party after being thrown out of Labour in 2020 over dubious accusations of antisemitism, which he has alleged stem from his strong criticism of Israel.

“It’s time to forge a different path. Now is not the time to try to rescue a ‘special relationship’ characterised by impunity, genocide, and war,” he said. “Now is the time to forge an independent foreign policy based on international law and peace.”
