PSC - Write to the Foreign Office: Israel's war on Palestinian children


Recommended Posts

'Roughly half the population in the Gaza Strip are children. Like adults, they have been subjected to the same brutal Israeli attacks that have already killed over 31,000 Palestinians, 70% of whom are women and children.

Palestinians are currently starving as Israel blocks much needed aid reaching them, and children are at highest risk from these conditions. Doctors have been forced to amputate limbs from bombed kids, even without having access to anaesthetic or pain relief. Thousands have been killed, with many more orphaned or losing multiple family members.

The British government’s response has been shameful. Rather than holding Israel to account for its war crimes, the government has suspended funding to UNRWA over unsubstantiated allegations made by Israel. UNRWA is the primary agency providing food aid to Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, and the organisation responsible for the education of 543,057 Palestinian children. In the past weeks, the EU, Canada and Sweden have all resumed aid to UNRWA. Now Britain must do the same.

Please take 2 minutes to help change this. Your voice matters putting pressure on the government.'

    • Simply, give us a snap election now as the last 12 months in office honestly have not been great in any sense. Let someone else have a go at turning around UK plc before it's too late. At least the last administration had the inflation and unemployment going in the right direction at the END. 
    • Yes but what's the answer, Jazzer? No government can simply walk in and fix the economy - get the bills down, grow it and reduce debt. There is no silver bullet. The public (and the press) wants everything now, everything cheaper, but with better public services and lower taxes.  In the radio and paper, all you ever hear is pundits, MPs, think tanks and economists saying what won't work, but no one seems to know what will work.  I'm genuinely interested to hear what other views people have on here, and what they think will help, or make things worse. 
    • While they struggle with economics of UK plc, collectively we all suffer as a result of their ineptitude. 
    • I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.
