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 and 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 journalist, she did press hard on these various "expert" claims.

But still no answer (and an odd attempt to shift discussion to the unrelated partition of British India).
How would Britain gain from withdrawing support for Israel?
Would our export markets grow? Would we continue to have a strong democratic ally in a region of instability? Would we receive better intelligence that might help reduce the risk of terrorist activity on our own shores? Would Iran's nuclear ambitions be kept in check? Would our long-term access to affordable oil and gas supplies continue? Would we continue to have access to military staging points if we need to project power into Asia in coming years in the face of Chinese aggression?

What are you on about?! Nobody has mentioned India, everything I, and the other respondents have said, has been about the ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza, the long background to it, and the UK government's failure, unlike other European states like Spain, to stop being complicit. Deflection won't wash.

My apologies, I thought you wanted me to play a game of trading irrelevant points.
But to avoid deflection, how about you tell us how Britain would gain?

Read back to what I said, knowledge of the history of Israel and Palistine is hardly irrelevant. Not being complicit in a genocide being carried out is the gain. Israel is an albatross round the neck of the UK, US and other Western states. Its conduct shames us our humanity.
