Didn't UK announce their surveillance of Gaza as early as 2023? How is this some "gotcha" moment other than confirming what they've already stated 2 years ago...

Their own mission statement was to help identify where hostages were being held. So unless there's any real evidence of other types of damning intelligence sharing going on that was undisclosed. This isn't even news.

And certainly not "evidence of war crimes"

No the UK his what they were doing ans turned off their transponders above Gaza. Because they likely have video evidence of the IDF massacaring the WFK workers.

Despite what you may believe. It's not common practise for military airplanes to fly with transponders on during a mission.

It wasn't a secret that they flew over Gaza.

There is no need to lie. Just open Google and do a single search about this subject.

The UK is incredibly secretive and lied about it multiple tines.

I'm confused. How is this a war crime.

Leaving a fingerprint isn't illegal but a fingerprint on a knife inside someone is evidence for a murder trial.

The genocide would be the war crime.

The UK was caught directly participating in the operations, so they are helping a country that is not their ally commit a genocide without declaring war on Palestine themselves.

[–] Womble@piefed.world 47 points 1 day ago (15 children)

Well no they weren't, they were "caught" flying a plane over Gaza. Going from that to "directly participating in the operations" is a conclusion you are drawing which seems plausible, even likely, but is not directly supported by a British plane doing loops over Gaza.

Palestine Action was right to damage British planes. I hope they do it again, and again, and again, until Palestine is free.

[–] lmdnw@lemmy.world 46 points 2 days ago (5 children)

I support Palestine Action!!!

"evidence for a war crimes trial"

I do so love the liberal idea that there's such a thing as "law."

The only way we're going to end the richest countries supporting the most openly genocidal country is if we cut off the funding that is making all of this profitable. There's no one, simple "boycott target" we just all have to get better about not pouring money in our country's corporations and monoliths who are always trying to make line go up.

Stop spending money on things like food delivery, fast food, games, movies, electronics and gadgets you don't need. Start hoarding the wealth away from the liches and oligarchs. Back up your activism by taking away the thing they want most.

Hang all of those government officials and agents who were “just following orders.” Hunt them down the same way the world hunted down Nazi camp guards.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 28 points 2 days ago (6 children)

Hang all of those government officials and agents who were “just following orders.”

At a dinner meeting of the Big Three on Nov. 29, Stalin proposed executing 50,000 to 100,000 German officers so that Germany could not plan another war. Roosevelt, believing Stalin was not serious, quipped that “maybe 49,000 would be enough.”

Churchill, however, was outraged and denounced “the cold-blooded execution of soldiers who fought for their country.” Before storming out of the room, he said that only war criminals should be put on trial. Stalin brought him back after saying that he was only joking.

I agree that Israel bad, but can someone explain what the war crime is here? I'm not asking as a gotcha, just confused

[–] Boo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 1 day ago

UK is running spy flights for Israel, or now contracting them out to US mercenaries, to help Israel turn Gaza into rubble and mass slaughter Civilians. The UK claimed it would be solely for hostage rescue, but there was hardly any hostages recovered by military means and certainly no daily attempts at rescuing hostages, but Britain provided intel daily for the past almost two years.

The UK government said they stopped their flights amid mounting pressure, but that was just a lie as they contracted it out instead to distance themselves, which also indicates that they know exactly which crimes they have been and are supporting.
