The UK’s Major Political Parties Failed the Palestinian People and therefore the Israeli People
The UK bears a major historic responsibility for the predicamentd of the Palestinian People. Not only did it occupy historic Palestine between 1920 and 1948, it made the infamous Balfour Declaration in 1917.

Israelis are in a ‘moral coma’, Urgent help needed for all our sakes
Berieved parents following attack on children at Shati camp This is not an attack to stop rocket fire from Gaza.
