Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Should other Haringey residents give Local MPs their personal views on the Gaza Tragedy?
I've begun composing letters to our local MPs David Lammy nd Catherine West about today's BBC news on Gaza and linked issues. I suggest that other HoL members consider writing or emailing independently with their own personal messages, with their thoughts and feelings on the topic.
To be precise the news item I listened to also referred to the expected visit to London of the President of Israel. It reported too, on a massive leaflet drop on Gaza City calling on all residents to move south to a supposed "safe" area. Despite this news bulletin describing the lack of water and food there. Also reports from a few Gaza City residents that they have family members physically unable to move.
That news bulletin also included "experts" who claimed that Israel was not practising genocide. And that the Israeli Attack Forces were targeting buildings and not people.
To be fair to the BBC's own jounalist, she did press hard on these various "expert" claims.

THE New Labour Government continues to risk being seen as complicit in what is widely regarded as genocide.

Israel doesn't target civilians. The IDF takes determined efforts to avoid civilian casualties (evidence flyers, broadcasts and phone messages warning civilians ahead of military operations). Hamas, on the other hand, deliberately target civilians; men, women and children. This is the objective truth as evidenced through the 7 October massacre when Hamas murdered innocent people because of who they were and more recently when Hamas inspired terrorists murdered civilians at a bus stop again fir no reason other than them being Israelis. No amount of propaganda, hate marches and stupid stickers will change that. The only genocide is that being perpetuated by Iran and its proxies across the Middle East.
One day, many people will look back in shame at what they have said and done in support of 'the Palestinian people'.

Iris you're in denial, have you missed the last 700+ days of mass civilian casualties inflicted by Israel? I accept it's almost certainly a waste of time trying to reason with you despite the mountains of evidence that quite frankly make your post look deeply delusional. The world's leading association of genocide scholars has declared that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza and even the Israeli military’s own data indicates civilian death rate of 83% in Gaza war... https://www.theguardian.com/world/ng-interactive/2025/aug/21/reveal. Those who continue supporting Israel will be the ones who'll be shamed for generations to come, although I doubt many have the capacity to feel it.
