Watch the publication of The Gaza Tribunal Report live at 1.30pm on Monday 16 March 2026. Find out more about The Tribunal and read the report at thegazatribual.uk “In the near future, our history books will shame those in our government who could have stopped the genocide in Gaza but facilitated it instead.”

Transkripzioa:

0:00

Afternoon everybody. Thank you very much all for

0:10

10 segundo

attending the scars presentation this afternoon. I’m Jeremy Corbyn MP for North and founder of the

0:19

peace and justice project which established this whole gas tribute system that goes with it. First up, I

0:27

want to say an enormous thank you first of all to the South Base Ethical Society for letting us use this room today. So

0:34

appropriately in memory of the great peace campaign.

0:41

I also want to say an enormous thank you to all of the team at this project

0:47

and Sam Chenade and Carrie for the work they put into making sure this happened.

0:54

Big thank you to Oliver D Rose who works for me and immediate work for me in parliament and um obviously enormous

1:01

thanks to Matthew Cis for the research that they’ve done on this and I’m sure by conspirators here it wouldn’t

1:10

possibly thank very it’s been a huge amount of work to do this but we felt

1:17

it’s something that’s very important and as the news comes out of Gaza of the horror of what’s happened. I think was more appropriate than ever.

1:28

Last July, I proposed in parliament the private members bill copy of via the Gaza independent public

1:36

inquiry bill that was blocked by the government expecting them to do that.

1:41

But in return, we decided to set up this as our own tribun of inquiry. And I want

1:49

to say an enormous thank you to Shard for the huge amount of work they put into this. And what a pleasure it’s been to get to know them and work with them

1:57

on this. They’re incredibly dig brilliant academics and their work should be lorded and recognized. The

2:05

achievement it is. It’s hard to summarize the tribunal in just a few words, but there are just some of the stuff that we heard during the tribunal.

2:14

It’s deeply moving. Dr. Nick Mayard and Dr. Victoria Rose giving us their accounts of working in hospitals with limited equipment, limited anesthetic,

2:25

not even proper intercepted, but they managed somehow to do the work they wanted to do. Shocking was the testimony

2:32

from Mark Smith, the British Foreign Office, who indicated what the atmosphere and the culture was like in the foreign office and the way he was

2:40

brought under pressure. Matt Kennard’s work in analyzing the private data from material has not just been crucial to

2:47

the work that we’ve been doing but so many others as well.

2:52

Essentially the conclusions are British government is complicit in genocide in some areas has gone over the line into

3:00

active participation in summary and you’ll get a fair idea of what’s going on. So then we come on to the recommendations.

3:12

We want to work with the ICC to draw their attention to evidence presented in this report. We will obviously be furnishing a full copy to them um of

3:20

criminal complicity implicating individual government ministers and officials and u the continuation of the

3:27

economic ties with Israel as well as the commissioning of arms trade, arms transfers and intelligence exchange. So

3:35

we think the government should cooperate with a full official independent public acquiring inquiry into any cooperation

3:43

between the UK and Israel particularly since October 2023 and I will continue to push that in parliament as I know my

3:50

colleagues will. I’m joined by my good friend Ibal Muhammad here this afternoon, MP for Batley and Dubsbury

3:57

and Richard Bergen who gave evidence to the tribunal very powerful evidence uh messaged me this morning that he’s

4:04

unfortunately involved in a rail incident today and strike action being taken in Leeds and he couldn’t be here

4:12

but he wanted to send his support and his his apologies and so that’s the process that we’re taking forward

4:21

The executive summary covers it all really.

4:25

People are still living still living in tents in Gaza with no running water, no electricity, and surrounded by sewage.

4:35

Just think about that. That’s gone on since October 23. people still living in tents with raw sewage running past them

4:44

and children having nowhere to go but to play in sewageinfested water when there’s any when there’s any

4:51

heavy rain. It is unbelievably disgusting. 20,000 of the 71,000 dead are children.

4:59

The long-term effects on them, their mental health and their physical well-being will be enormous and will be intergenerational.

5:08

Additionally, those that bravely tried to report on Gaza, 250 journalists at least have been killed and many others

5:18

subjected to harassment. And I have to say in some cases professional marginalization and I have to say that

5:26

some of the news gathering organizations have abandoned the people that they use to get the stories from. And so that is

5:34

another aspect of the horrors of this war.

5:37

and the shortage of food. This Gaza siege has weaponized food which is of

5:44

course a war crime in itself and derive deprived the population of the basic things to survive. So there are many

5:52

things in this but I’ll just conclude with this. We want an immediate suspension of arms transfers. We want a suspension of intelligence sharing with

6:01

Israel. We want measures to ensure non-recognition and non-assistance in respect of Israel’s unlawful presence of

6:09

the OPT, including review of existing trade and investment relations, support for obviously for humanitarian relief,

6:17

and full cooperation with international accountability, including the ICC and the relevant UN special reporters.

6:25

Britain is not the biggest arms contributor to Israel that we well know.

6:31

But Britain is a crucial part of it because of the RAF base in Acrretier,

6:37

because of the sharing of intelligence information and because of the way that the US has significant military presence

6:44

in Britain. And this has all assisted this. So we want more information about what the RAF have actually been doing.

6:54

This whole process has eroded Britain’s standing in the world, eroded Britain’s commitment to international law, to the UN, to human rights, to international

7:03

justice through the ICJ and the ICC. I was in parliament when we signed up to the ICC, when we joined the ICC as a

7:12

founder state member of it. That was, I think, a good day in parliament. We now find ourselves as a country wanting in

7:21

front of international law because of our complicity in what I believe to be war crimes that have gone on that have

7:29

so affected the Palestinian people. So there are many demands we’ll make on the British government all of which are

7:37

summarized in this report and I’d be grateful if you can to read it in detail and learn from it and we in turn

7:46

will learn from the responses we get because this isn’t the last word on the subject. It’s not the first but it’s an important milestone in it. So I want to

7:54

say again an enormous thank you to all those people that gave so much effort and time into ensuring that the Gaza tribunal actually happened and that’s

8:02

what the peace and justice project exists for to make sure we shine a light into those places where the powerful do

8:11

not want the lights to be shown. Thank you very much all of you for coming. I now pass over to you first to give your analysis then go to child. Thank you.

8:21

Thanks a lot for that, Jeremy. So, it is clearly clear that we are at a historical crossroad. We’ve crossed a

8:29

red line of genocide. We’ve crossed a line that humanity has promised itself it will not go at.

8:39

All the lessons learned tell us that this is indeed the time to act. Let’s think about this for a second. When someone commits an act of murder, the

8:48

sanctity of human life in front of their eyes goes away, something in their humanity dies at the act of taking life

8:57

from someone else. That is why we as humanity have have put forward systems of accountability

9:04

to ask to stop that. That is the red line that we put together as societies.

9:11

Now imagine what happens to one’s psyche when we when they have directly signed orders knowingly

9:20

acknowledging that not only are they distorting their reality on the ground but contributing to it. What happens to

9:29

one’s psyche after knowing that their acts directly led to shredded bodies of

9:36

children hanging from buildings to parents holding the parts of their

9:42

children in plastic bags to a whole population starving at the brink of famine.

9:50

What happens to someone’s psyche when they know that they contributed to that and yet they go unaccountable?

9:59

Humanity has crossed that threshold.

10:03

We’ve crossed the threshold where it’s all right to open the news and look at that and say that this is normal. And

10:11

the biggest evidence we have for that is that today as we speak at this moment,

10:16

the same crimes happen in Lebanon, in Iran. They continue in the West Bank.

10:22

They continue in the in Gaza. And if this irresponsible behavior is goes without accountability, we will see a

10:30

region that has lived for five generations and more go ablaze once again. That is the level of depravity

10:38

that we are speaking about in this report. In our hands, we have evidence that British officials knowingly hid the

10:47

truth and distorted the truth. They had the legal advice and chose to overlook it.

10:54

British citizens with good consciousness who sought to uphold their legal and moral obligations of standing up against

11:02

power were threatened with their livelihoods and asked to either quit their jobs or shut the hell up. People

11:11

who went to the streets with a clear consciousness to say that Britain has to abide by its international obligations.

11:19

They said nothing more than that. Not to aid and abet a genocide, not to recognize its illegalities, not to make

11:27

the claim that British interest exists all the way up in someone else’s land.

11:32

That is not British land. That is not British interest and British taxpayer money should have never had anything to do with it. And I go back to saying a

11:42

red line has been crossed. The testimonies that we heard throughout the two days of the tribunal shake one’s

11:49

consciousness. We got a full image of how is it that British complicity was sown with people who knew completely what they were doing.

12:00

And it is today that we come together and say what is it if those officials were not held accountable for the

12:07

decisions that they made. If there is anything that humanity should be proud of, it is that we have legal systems. It is that we stop to say no to genocide,

12:18

no to murder, yes to equality. That is the legacy of humanity that we believe should be upheld. And these are the values that today we stand up against.

12:28

We stand up for as we speak. British bases are yet again being used as a launch pad for for

12:38

military war plananes that will go and drop bombs on civilians and on people in conflict in somewhere where England should have never been to begin with.

12:47

The the core root of the problem started with the British normalization of a settler colonial project in Palestine.

12:55

And the same thing happens today with British colonization having normalized abdigating Iranian right of

13:02

self-determination by protecting the interests of BP halfway across the world. The story starts with Britain

13:09

there and the story started with Britain and Palestine and the same story repeats themselves. Today we come with the message of accountability but we also

13:18

come to the message that we need to be more aware. We need to keep up and it’s also the time when the British public

13:25

needs to be as mobilized as possible where we stand hand in hand to say no to war, no to intervention in wars and also

13:34

upholding the international legal system that has died in. Today we are talking about its resurrection. Today we are

13:42

talking about rebuilding it by taking people’s power through people’s tribe and to say that this is the standard that we will uphold humanity to a

13:52

standard of equality and a standard of rejection of crossing that red line where human life is no longer sacred.

14:01

Thank you. Thank you very much.

14:12

For two days, we heard wrenching testimonies of courageous witnesses and together and today we gather to

14:20

highlight, condemn, and call for an investigation of the UK government’s complicity with Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

14:30

We have gathered here after the killing of close to 70 thou 5,000 Palestinians.

14:36

Among them 20,000 children and an untold number still lying under the rubbles

14:45

waiting to be properly buried. We gather here today after more than 80% of Gaza’s built environment has been destroyed.

14:56

97% of schools have been damaged or destroyed. All 36 hospitals and every

15:03

single university. And after Israel has rendered 95%

15:09

of Gaza’s arable land unusable. We gather here today after 1.9 million people were displaced,

15:19

some of them multiple times. While at this very moment, as Jeremy noted,

15:25

there’s about a million Palestinians living in squalid tents without electricity, running water, or a sewage

15:33

test system. These testimonies we have heard clearly indicate that the British

15:40

government has failed its fundamental its fundamental obligation to prevent genocide and has been complicit in a series of atrocity crimes.

15:53

But as we gather here today to highlight, condemn, and demand an internal investigation into the government’s complicity in these crime,

16:04

the Gaza doctrine of destruction,

16:07

displacement, and death is being extended to other parts in the Middle East. Within two weeks of an illegal war

16:16

launched in the middle of negotiations over a nuclear deal, the US and Israel have damaged or destroyed over 20,000

16:25

civilian buildings in Iran, including schools, hospitals, and cultural landmarks, and displaced 4 million

16:34

people, 3.2 in Iran, and 800,000 in Lebanon. And this does not include the

16:42

1.9 people in Gaza. We’re talking about 6 million displaced people. The death

16:49

toll in Iran is already in the thousands and the injured in the tens of thousands. Critics have charged that

16:58

Israel is now extending the Gaza doctrine to Lebanon. Surprisingly or not, Israel has embraced this

17:06

accusation, dropping leaflets in on Beirut depicting Gaza as a success story and threatening Gaza scale devastation in Lebanon.

17:18

And once again, the UK government appears to be on the wrong side of history, providing air and other kinds

17:26

of support to the criminals who flagrantly violate international law rather than upholding the norms,

17:34

obliging waring parties to protect civilians in civilian sites. The events of the past two weeks underscore a simple truism.

17:47

Without accountability, without ensuring that government ministers and officials assume responsibility for the crimes

17:55

they have facilitated, the same or similar crimes will continue to be committed. We are therefore committed to

18:03

working with the domestic and international institutions including the international criminal court and the

18:10

international court of justice to draw their attention to the evidence presented to the tribunal particularly

18:18

evidence that the UK has failed to prevent genoci genocide and of its criminal complicity in grave violations

18:26

of international law. This includes evidence implicating government ministers and officials. At the at the

18:34

same time, we call on the UK government to end all arms and surveillance technology exports, surveillance flights

18:43

and intelligence exchange, as well as training and security cooperation in Israel. We further call on the

18:51

government to impose a ban on all settlement products and services and to review all public contracts to prevent

18:59

public institutions and funds from supporting is Israel’s illegal occupation. We call on care stammer to

19:07

issue widespread sanctions against senior members of the Israeli government and military and ensure that the

19:15

Scotland Yard conduct investigation against British citizens who have participated in Israel’s war crimes in Gaza and the occupied territories.

19:26

Finally, we call on the government to stop the criminalization of anti-jinocide protests and deprescribe

19:33

Palestine Palestine action. I urge you to read the report to see the full list of our demands. The bottom line is

19:42

straightforward. If the goal is to end human suffering, then we must not only bring those who produce suffering to

19:49

justice, but also hold those who enable them to account. Thank you.

20:00

Thank you very very much and again thanks to all those that contributed to this document in lots of ways and thank

20:07

you also to Lara Alvarez who is the international secretary for peace and justice project for her work and support

20:14

for this document as well. Um we’ve now got time for questions or discussion. I know Bal has to leave shortly to go.

20:23

Apparently, he’s being tested by Offstead today. That’s a joke. Did you want to ask a question or say anything?

20:30

I know you have to leave early. And thank you, Jeremy,

20:38

and for convening the tribunal and for publishing this in-depth report. This is an activity that shouldn’t have been

20:47

required. and its should have um had the UK government investigating any and all

20:54

breaches potential breaches of international law by our allies and companies and citizens of this

21:01

country. So ultimately the question is how can the findings of this report um

21:08

be acted on influence and persuade the government to take the findings of this report

21:15

seriously and to take immediate action to start um removing its complicity participation in the ongoing genocide.

21:25

and then what further action can members like myself take in parliament to make that?

21:31

Thank you for your question. The first thing I’m going to do this afternoon is present a copy of the report to the House of Commons Library. So, it’ll be

21:38

there and every MP will then have access to it. It’ll be officially recorded as doing that. How we take it forward. Who wants to go next?

21:47

Um well there are many things about how we take it forward and I think it’s a twoway uh

21:55

thing. Uh first of all it is in um in the fact that this what they would like this to happen is to for this to go

22:02

under the rug you know for this to just never have happened and those people were never killed and that was absolutely fine. So a part of our job is

22:10

to maintain the fact that to to maintain the necessity of an accountability mechanism in whichever form on the

22:18

larger scale I think a reckoning with reality is happening uh as as we speak as we see the fact that when we say that

22:26

Israel’s actions pose a threat to international peace and security what will happen is currently a threat to international peace and security. A

22:33

whole region has been set ablaze. So I think also one the most important I think urgent bit for taking this uh at

22:42

least on on today before tomorrow is to urge the UK government not to get involved in this war and to stop any

22:49

British involvement in support of the US and Israel in their illegal aggression and to call things for their name. This is an illegal aggression. Any form of

22:58

participation in it at any point is considered to be illegal. There’s no buts. There’s no ifs any movement by

23:07

Israel and the US at the moment is a pure act of illegality and we need to take this forward and challenge the government with it and also challenge

23:14

the legal advice that they have been getting as as international lawyers we can tell you international laws open for

23:22

interpretation and when you opt for narrow fragmented readings of that discipline. What you do is you undermine the whole of the international legal

23:30

system and this is exactly what those what those legal advisers at the FCDO are doing and they should be held accountable for that or those who are

23:38

forcing that uh must be held accountable. I apologize for not having concrete levels but I I’m hoping that that overall strategy can guide then how

23:47

we devise the tactics of engaging with government and taking this as urgent as possible.

23:54

I think it’s important that to note that the British government knew that it was acting illegally

24:03

because what came out in the testimonies particularly from the whistleblowers

24:10

is that Kirmer and his government have instituted a culture of deception

24:16

and this culture of deception is a cover up for illegal actions.

24:22

particularly the ongoing trade of weapons with is with Israel as it was carrying out the genocide.

24:30

And I think this is not going away because because of the whistleblowers because of the courageous people that

24:39

came out from the inside and have exposed the government. I think there’s still account there’s still questions to

24:47

be answers and several ministers and officials will hopefully in the future be held accountable will be presenting

24:56

this evidence to the IC and they they have to watch uh and hopefully they will

25:03

not do a repeat performance uh in this current uh uh war illegal war against Iran and Lebanon.

25:13

Thank you. In addition to what I said earlier about presenting it to the library, we will also be sending copies

25:20

to the current foreign secretary of ET Cooper and the former foreign secretary David Lami because they were both in deeply involved in all of this and uh we

25:29

will be pursuing this thing all the time and the we hope to get a very wide circulation for this report and wide media coverage and indeed I’ll be

25:38

discussing it in an interview I’m doing later tonight on Alazer Arabic channel raising many issues to do with that.

25:45

I’ve got a number of um media colleagues here. Um Hannah from Declassified as well.

25:56

So they’ve answered quite a few of our questions already. Um but I guess we also want to know what people think this

26:03

means for the Labor Party. Do you think it will kind of move forward as it is?

26:07

Do you think it might be the end of the Labor Party as it stands? Um yeah, what do you think other consequences of this program could be? Um and who

26:14

specifically do you think should be to the or who should be actually within the media account?

26:22

I want to go first on that one.

26:29

Well, I didn’t quite hear the bit about the labor party.

26:37

what it shows. First of all, thank you to Declassifi for the work you do and the bravery with which you do it because um you help to inform when a lot of

26:46

mainstream media don’t inform. Thank you for that. Uh I think what it is is emblematic of what this government is

26:54

about and what it’s what its um whole process has been. In opposition, Labour failed to call for a ceasefire

27:02

in Gaza. They then tried to get their way out of that by saying they really wanted to but they couldn’t. And then in

27:10

27 minutu eta 10 segundo

government they basically continued the conservative policy and it’s uh was more than a year in before they suspended any

27:19

substantial number of arm supplies. But they have always maintained what is more important to Israel actually which is

27:28

the security cooperation and the surveillance flights and the overflying of Gaza. that’s actually much more important to Israel than the volume of

27:35

arms that are provided. And so what it means for the Labor Party is that they have got to recognize that a Labor

27:42

government has been complicit in wholly illegal activities in the bombardment and the acts of genocide against the people of Palestine.

27:53

They’ve got to get real with this. And unless they’re prepared to radically change their approach, radically change their approach to international law,

28:04

then what they’ve done is drag this country even further down the international order of condemnation of countries that fail to observe even the

28:13

basic norms of international law. I’ll be going to Parliament later on today because I’ll be raising issues about our

28:20

now very deep involvement in the war in Iran by the deployment of US forces from

28:27

bases in this country to bomb targets in Iran. And the government cannot claim

28:34

claim that somehow or other a bomber taking off from RAF Fairoot bombing targets in Iran and returning is some

28:41

kind of defensive action. It is nonsense. It is turning logic on its head. They have made Britain part of the

28:50

war machine in Iran. Wouldn’t it be good if we had a government that said instead of supplying arms to every conflict,

28:57

instead of all this, it said our priority, our absolute priority, we will bend every senue in our body to bring

29:05

about peace, to bring about justice, to bring about recognition, to bring about hope for the people of Palestine, the people of Iran, the people of Ukraine,

29:13

the people of any other country under conflict. That’s what’s so desperately sad about this time. a country that our

29:21

country that did help to write the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, did help to write the Geneva Convention,

29:28

did help to support and form the ICJ back in the 1920s, did support the ICC

29:34

in the 1990s and 2000s. Now, we’re part of the squad that is destroying

29:41

international law and order and thus consigning the lives of millions of Palestinians to desperation, poverty,

29:49

and an early death.

29:53

Okay, nothing to add. Uh Hish from the National

30:07

issue Britain’s the more Iran obviously Kar say that defensive capacity do you think there’s

30:15

a risk of that into offensive missions or do you think that’s already happened and do you think that puts us at risk and um second I

30:24

just wanted to ask if you have gained any insight into the value of British security and intelligence sharing with

30:32

with Israel specifically how does that aid US Israeli military operates in Gaza

30:40

and further what the report shows very deeply is the involvement of British surveillance

30:47

flights from area um over Gaza I don’t know if you want to comment on that

30:56

So to start with the idea that Britain will only engage in in defensive rather than offensive. There’s nothing in law that really is capable of telling you

31:04

when you start the defensive and enter the offensive in an illegal aggression.

31:09

Uh so you are uh particularly here defending your uh offshore assets,

31:15

sorry, your out your outside assets which is UK uh military bases. The question whether or not Iran even hit them is a question is is open to

31:24

question. But nevertheless, the fact that there is no line to be drawn. And it’s interesting that Germany actually used a very similar argument when it

31:31

tried to defend its arms uh exports to Israel during the genocide by saying that we only give uh defensive weapons and we only give non-lethal weapons.

31:41

I’ve never heard of a non-lethal weapon and I’ve never heard of a defensive weapon. The whole idea that we managed to normalize this this concept that

31:49

these are defense treaties or self-defense treaties really the logic should be and and what Iran is demonstrating to the world when you sign

31:57

a defense treaty with Israel so and with the US sorry you also are are signing an offensive uh treaty and that cannot be

32:05

said what what the UK is now doing is that it’s signaling the legitimacy of an illegal occupation. We should not take

32:12

these acts in absence of that. rather than relying our foreign policy on a madeup uh on a madeup differentiation

32:19

that really on in battle in an illegal aggression where there is no right of self-defense uh when you are engaging in

32:27

an illegal aggression then the question is really how much bad faith is this and as I said since the red line has been

32:34

crossed now we’re very much okay with making non nonsensible arguments the coherence in the narrative of uh of the

32:42

British government has been completely it’s not like it was coherent before but now we’ve reached a point where that coherence has has crossed a line uh

32:51

where there is no reference to the law there is no reference to u to logic it is just simply the fact that we are not

32:59

not signaling to the United States of America that our involvement in this is simply not acceptable and not only that

33:06

the the recklessness of in law we you are held responsible for the recklessness of an act that you do if it’s foreseeable that it will lead to

33:14

complete disaster and no one on earth can see any scenario where this is not a complete disaster and a very very foreseeable one with the knowledge that

33:23

we currently have. If and if we are to for a second imagine further support to Israel and the US in this war what it

33:31

means regardless of what mainstream media would like to say this is an illegal act of aggression that the purpose of it is to render Iran a failed

33:39

state full stop. It is not about nuclear weapons. It is not about uh it is not about them having missiles. It is about the fact that they want this to become

33:48

another Iraq and another Syria. If this happens, we will have millions of refugees and the whole region will fall into further war. Israel will take the

33:56

south of Lebanon as well as further parts of West Bank and Gaza. We will lose any capacity to protect the civilian population and they will be

34:04

under the rulership of a state that has just dropped leaflets on their head and told them we’ll make a out of you. Haha.

34:10

and the whole world is happy with us. So there is a lot of complicity and there there is no uh there’s zero level of uh

34:19

capacity to justify the fact that we would enter this war and say that we are entering it in a defensive capacity. That is just illogical.

34:29

I can only add one thing is that we see the deception that we witness during the tribunal

34:38

nesticizing to Iran and Lebanon and the UK with that. So you read in the morning

34:46

a headline that Kier Stalmer is sending mind sweeping drones to Iran and two

34:54

hours later you hear an you read a headline that the UK government is not going to intervene in Iran. Which one is

35:02

true? We don’t know. Okay. But what we know is that there’s a culture of duplicity, a culture of deception that

35:11

he’s lying to the public. He’s lying to everyone around him. And we want the British government to be accountable. We

35:19

don’t think the British government should in any way be complicit when with any of these violent illegal violent

35:28

needs because it makes it complicit in by association. It makes us complicit as taxpayers and as citizens of this country.

35:39

Thank you. Uh Matt, your question. I’ve got two more then I come to you. Yeah.

35:46

So my question is also um with regards to this report, how can everyday people take this report,

35:55

utilize it and hold people to account and off the back of that?

36:01

How can this or these actions be used to try to stop the British government from committing more crimes by allowing American?

36:17

I think the growing opposition to the current conflict is highly significant and it certainly happened more quickly than it has in previous conflicts. I

36:25

recall at the start of the Iraq war I was very much opposed to it. But to begin with there was a degree of public

36:32

support for it that disappeared after a few months and later on you can’t find anybody who ever supported the Iraq war

36:41

apart from Tony Blair um who continues to support the Iraq war. Um and even

36:47

when announcing uh the issues to do with Iran Kia Star said we’ve learned the lessons of Iraq. Well, I don’t think he

36:56

has. I wish he had learned but I don’t believe he has. This is why we wanted the equivalent of a chill cut style inquiry into this. How do we take it

37:04

forward? What we’re doing today, the publicity we’ll give it, the demands we’ll make in parliament. But above all,

37:10

we’re inviting everybody in the peace movement, in political organizations, in unions to look at the report. It’s all online.

37:20

Take summaries of it. Look at the executive summary. all the arguments are there and use them to put demands on a

37:27

political system in this country to be held to account. Otherwise, are we going to go forever down the road of Britain

37:34

being the convenient ally that will always provide the weapons, provide the basis, and provide the political cover

37:41

for the most disgraceful wars of aggression and the subjugation of the Palestinian people? That’s what our report is designed to expose. I don’t

37:49

know if my colleagues want to add to anything on that. I just wanted to say that this is a source for democratic governance and what we’re trying to do

37:56

here is a very democratic exercise in the sense that one of the primary premises of democratic governance is actually having the knowledge needed in

38:05

order to do that and the fact that as ne kindly noted that this is a culture of deception. What this report seeks to bring to the British people is a very

38:13

clear image of how is it that our tax money that our government here has managed to take itself to be to

38:21

contribute to this crime. Of course, at the end of the day, this sheds a light on a historical complicity that specifically in this area but all over

38:30

the world has happened in the name of the British public. And here I would say that never happened in the name of the British working class. It always happened in the name of the British

38:38

elite rather than the British working class. And that really should be I really driving big question who profited off this who made money off this and

38:46

once we trace the trail of who is it that facilitated this what type of foreign interests were used were

38:54

channeled across the UK parliament actually sorry UK government actually we have more hope of getting towards actual

39:02

democratic engagement. As a teacher in this country, I can tell you that the teaching system in this country is really premised on making sure that people do not have political education

39:11

and it is very very sad that we in in one of the most highly educated countries in the world that we still do not have a culture of political

39:19

awareness and discussion. So I think that such tools are important to popularize and to use. It’s written in a very accessible light and it’s also

39:27

written for the current moment as well as for history to remind people of what is it that happened and how can we learn from these lessons. I would just add one

39:35

very important note which is while we proclaim the death of international law has happened in the in Gazda. We also know that this is the time to actually

39:44

give birth to an interpretation and a reading of this law that entrenches its true uh its true meaning. The meaning that resonates with the majority of the

39:52

world. the meaning behind which peace and security is premised on equality for all. So it so while this is also this is

40:00

also an attempt to give people the tools of how is it that we can use legal language to also go ahead in social

40:06

movements as well as revive that sense of justice into our social movements in order to build a much more justiceable world where we’re all interconnected. So

40:15

while that’s not very uh concrete but I think through engaging with this uh strongly we can really build on the infrastructure of existing social

40:23

movements that are engaging in England and I’m sure that that spirit has grown a lot in the past two years there’s a lot more to do in terms of how we educate ourselves politically and go

40:32

forward in our struggle because the most important thing now is public consciousness. Okay. Thank you. Uh, Linda Pans.

40:41

Yes, there are a lot of very obviously a lot of very endaming and tragic tragic conclusions in the report. Um, but as

40:49

you already mentioned, these are things that are still going on. So, how will you use the report to try and overcome the perception now that HSA is sort of

40:58

over, there’s a ceasefire, we’ve moved on to other focuses, including Iran, and yet these these atrocities are ongoing.

41:0

Um so is there a way to keep this as sort of live document as well as a historical document to remind people that it’s not behind us? This is a very

41:15

this in my view is a very significant report that we’ve prepared here and it’s taken quite a long time to prepare it

41:22

and um I was very frustrated at the time it was taking to get it to the state it now is for publication but it was that

41:29

time a generally impatient person because I want change but there was a reason for that the reason that every

41:37

single argument in there is intellectually backed up is intellectually sourced is referenced there is no jubi about anything in in

41:45

this report. It’s very very clear. We have expert witnesses including Francesca Albanese and many others that

41:52

gave evidence. So this is to me the significance is equivalent to the Russell Tribunal about the war crimes in

41:59

Vietnam. They were largely ignored until the Russell Tribunal came along. It didn’t get massive publicity the day it

42:06

happened, but as time went on, the Russell Tribunal became a reference point for the horrors of Vietnam and

42:14

challenging the illegal nature of what was going on in Vietnam. So, our report will be as widely circulated as we can

42:21

muster. I’m very happy and I want to arrange very shortly a big Zoom call when I hope my colleagues can join in on

42:28

this, but we’ll take questions from anybody um who will join in on that. and the peace and justice project conference in the early autumn will obviously have

42:37

a substantial session on this and on the question of international law and what’s happened in Gaza. So we build up the

42:45

arguments all the time. This this report is our weapon. It’s our weapon for peace. It’s our weapon for

42:52

accountability. It’s our weapon to make sure that uh the establishment in Britain understands we’re watching them

43:01

and we’re going to carry on watching them and carry on making those demands.

43:04

I don’t know if my colleagues want to add to that.

43:08

I mean the genocide in Gaza has turned into what I would call the slow motion stage. And in this slow motion stage,

43:18

there’s less media interest, there’s less public interest and so forth. And this report

43:26

aims to begin countering that. Now, all three of us, even though Shad and me are

43:33

in in law schools, do not really believe in the jurification of the struggle against what’s going on. We believe that

43:41

the jurification which is the tribunal is a tool for collective action and the t what we’re

43:50

asking the public to do each in their own way in each where they live is to

43:58

create stories of resistance to what is going on and use this as a tool for creating these stories of resistance.

44:07

And slowly these stories of resistance will connect together into this massive

44:14

massive resistance and that will stop the genocide. If we don’t do that,

44:19

genocide will be normalized. Our mainstream legacy media has no problem with with not putting it in the in the

44:28

pages anymore and allowing it to continue. And we must not allow we must ensure that that does not happen.

44:46

Thank you. I’ve got two questions. One about Turkeykey’s attitude. The president of president of Turkey says

44:56

quite often the state of terror or he’s a big terrorist. That’s how he

45:04

described Israel and but in the same time they continue to do

45:12

the trade even they increase the trade during this period and uh also the part of the as well what

45:22

you make on those kind of countries what kind of nation you can do and we can do

45:29

here in also one other questions about media.

45:37

Uh, last night and yeah, last night I think they ABC had an interview with

45:44

Iranian officials. One of the first questions she asked, are you targeting civilians?

45:53

These kind of attitudes is hiding the western imperialist

46:02

massacres in the area. Do you think the media has a big role for this massacres?

46:11

Thanks. I think your point about Turkey um at one level condemning what’s going on and

46:20

apparently supporting the Palestinian people whilst at the same time maintaining trade and diplomatic relations is symptomatic of a number of

46:29

countries in the region and the double standards that always apply where arms and uh particularly oil and

46:37

supplies are concerned. the Israel war machine couldn’t exist without the support of the USA, the complicity of

46:44

Britain, but also the complicity of many other governments. And so the point you were just making about it is those that resist that’s important. And

absolutely applaud those dock workers in Italy and other countries that refuse to handle anything to do with the weapons

47:00

going to Israel. Absolutely support those brave people that went on the flotilla and those that are going on the next flotilla. Public opinion around the

47:09

world is inspired by these people that do everything they can at great personal costs themselves out of a love for humanity. I don’t if you want to add anything on the Turkish point.

47:20

Um just quickly so when I said that the narrative is no longer capable of sustaining itself. Nowhere is this more obvious than in Turkey where they’ve upheld this very hypocritical position.

47:31

Uh but perhaps this is also a call that such tribunals must be also held as a tool of accountability in other jurisdictions. Uh like Turkey for

47:39

example where questions in relation to the BTC pipeline for are still persistent on why on earth the BTC pipeline was working throughout the

47:46

genocide and giving uh energy despite the international legal obligations saying that you need to do everything within your own capacity, everything

47:55

within your own leverage in order to stop the genocide. and that was an important part of their responsibility that they didn’t adhere to. So uh so

48:03

perhaps yeah this is another I’m just taking this opportunity to say that another way of taking this tribunal forward is to actually also take this

48:10

model to other jurisdictions so that we’d be able to kind of highlight this and another thing that I would say as well that Franchesca Albanz the Europe

48:19

on occupied Palestine territories had published a report on state complicity in the genocide a few months ago that outlines a good part of that but in in

48:28

very short terms and now it’s our duty to kind of keep it for history that we hold people’s tribunals and it’s most

48:34

most apt to do so in an age of deception and an age when international laws being so um uh overlooked.

48:45

So, thank you. We’ve got time for a few more questions at the back and then Claudia. Yeah.

49:00

I’m not sure if you can hear me. I’m out.

49:04

Um I suppose I have two questions. The first is actually on itself. So like we’re clearly moving into a period of

49:12

renewed concentration camps in a much more than land past the yellow line and it’s clear that that’s going to be hypersp.

49:22

um you know there’s already talks from capitalist economy monitoring uh how you know digital money other tech solutions

49:29

quote unquote to humanitarian really um say nothing of self-governance or accountability in any meaningful sense

49:37

so I’m just curious as to how this this report and any report can actually tackle not just what has been what might

49:46

down the pipeline because I feel like particularly with the the replication of the licenses um aid organizations that happened uh on

49:54

C of the new year. Um there’s clearly a targeted attack on any kind of infrastructure that supports or enables Palestinian life to continue in some

50:02

form. Um and instead I think there’s going to be this hypersile hyper technical or technological response to the present

50:11

needs of people who have survived or are surviving genocide. So that’s just one question the link between the report and what might be coming down the pipeline.

50:18

The second question is perhaps more of a comment but any reflection can also be appreciated. I have really valued and

50:26

thought the evocation of historical historical complicity uh in Palestine and beyond the genocide is really

50:33

important contribution both the report and the remarks here today. Um but I had question if it comes back.

50:45

Oh sorry no just um just on this question of um separating or rather working to 

dilute uh Israel from the actions of the western governments particularly the US and the UK. I think there’s somewhat of

51:00

a tendency to act as if Israel is either a rogue state or somehow Britain has some kind of uh obligation that’s rooted

51:07

in um a state-to-state relationship as opposed to an imperial relation whereby Israel was created with the support as

51:14

we know of the British um government of civilization against barbarism and all of Israel’s actions seem to be in line

51:22

with ensuring an imperial relationship between um the Arab world or the wider region and um western powers. And so I

51:30

think I’m just curious the extent to which this report is situated within those discourses of of broad historical legacies as opposed to Britain having

51:39

some kind of um checks and balances or having some kind of mediated relationship with the state.

51:46

Thank you. Thank you very much.

51:49

I’m I’m going to try to address your second question and I think the whole report is goes against that trend of

51:58

separating Israel as if it’s a lone actor. The whole idea here is that without the complicity, without the

52:07

diplomatic assistance, without the arms trade, without all the different forms of assistance that we reveal here in and Britain is only one country of many,

52:19

probably with the most his the largest history in this kind of complicity, but certainly not the main actor today, the

52:28

United States is. But what we’re assuming here from the very beginning is that Israel could not do it alone and that it needed the British government,

52:39

it needs the German government, it needs the American government, the United States government to carry out these

52:46

acts. And if we separate, if we manage to create a wedge between Israel and

52:54

let’s say the UK government, it will reduce Israel’s power to carry out these

53:00

kinds of crimes both in Gaza, but in the occupied territories and throughout the

53:07

Middle East. So the very idea of this whole tribunal is not to expose Israel’s

53:14

crime alone but to expose the relation between the UK government and Israel’s

53:21

crime. So I think the whole idea of this tribunal is exactly to answer this kind of lacuna that you’re describing.

53:32

Um, thank you for bringing it bringing this in and it is indeed the reality that the US trying to paint for

53:39

Palestine is not just a grim one but perhaps someone watched hard money dystopian films and quite obsessed with getting them forward in the tech

53:48

industry that in the tech type of imagination for the future of Gaza as well as the fact that businessmen have taken it over and uh and looking at Gaza

53:57

as a business opportunity. The imagination of the so-called border of peace is simply the imagination of the so-called it’s it’s uh it’s exactly the

54:06

normaliz it’s exactly the US telling us that we have killed international law and now we are creating this new alliance simply of all the states that

54:15

agree with our systems of value and that is the system of submission. So uh this this report is the it reading of

54:22

international law is steeped in the concept of the right of self-determination. Herein from this reading of international law nothing of the premises of the board of peace would

54:30

be considered legitimate in the sense that the board of peace was coerced was was coercively imposed on the Palestinian people and seeks to

54:38

normalize a new form of occupation and that new form of occupation is even worse and I would say more sick more

54:45

sadistic than the prior one. There are simply no words to describe it. How is it that this would bring us back to the reality on the ground and what is

54:53

happening? Again, we are trying to uh I would say that the narrative on which the board of peace rests is a weak

55:00

narrative and it doesn’t have a premise of detation unless you use the weapons and unless you use arms. So popularizing

55:08

narrative like the one in this report actually helps people get more tools to make this economically unfeasible project and will it will be economically

55:17

unfeasible if the people protest and if the people don’t allow it to happen this dystopian project. So and uh and as to

55:24

situating it within the historical I would take it further and not say that just it’s just simply that Britain is complicit in the creation of Israel.

55:31

actually there there is a very clear pattern here that Israel itself was created in pursuit of this interest in the region and and so it’s not that it’s

55:40

not that simply this happened and and the and the UK supported actually this happened to facilitate what then turned

55:47

out to be the most you know the bloodiest uh chapter of the region where my own generation actually for five generations of blood and gore and all of

55:56

it a lot of it traces back to the fragmentation that Israel has sown in the region so and it’s indeed That narrative is someone that something that

56:03

we are I think the genocide has put on the table and I think has made it clear to millions of people who otherwise lived in the or or saw or believed

56:11

another narrative. We’re closer to bringing in the true narrative to the minds of people and we should push further towards it.

56:18

Thank you. Just to remind you, Sam’s just sent me a message to just remind me to say Sam who’s over there that um

56:26

Peace and Justice Project will be sending a message to all of our 60,000 uh supporters u with a a very easy tool

56:34

for them to write to their own MP with a full copy of the report as an addition to their email they’re sending as a way of continuing that pressure. As I said,

56:44

we’ll also be organizing some big Zoom events on this and big discussions on this because this report has taken a huge amount of work and effort by a

56:53

relatively small number of people. That work must not go in vain. That work has to be spread around a lot. Thanks for that, Sam. Um Claudia, you had a

57:02

question. Claudia Claudia Webb, former MP for Leester East.

57:07

Okay. Thank you. I mean, this uh Gazian report is significant. It is powerful.

57:13

It is groundbreaking. It’s all of those things. The central output that it comes to that Britain, the British government

57:21

was complicit in Israel’s genocide of Gaza is hugely significant. The evidence

57:29

outlined in the report is clear. F-35 bombs, 665 planes, 160,000

57:38

military uh goods. The issue that I have is the notion of the British government

57:45

investigating itself or looking at itself. The confidence that the Brit that that the public would have on this

57:54

wouldn’t be there. That’s why what the report leans to in terms of a movement in terms of civil society taking action

58:03

and indeed the questions that have been put here about what more can we do to

58:09

enable civil society civilians to put uh

58:16

a case to the IBC to investigate stop lamb for their complicity

58:24

uh in the genocide for their actions and what more we can do and as we talk about

58:30

a tool I think you know go further create the tool that enables the individual the civilian to make their

58:40

case to the IC to investigate Britain’s complicity and every minister every minister that signed the licenses ought

58:49

to be investigated and that’s that requires action and I remember when I was in parliament Jeremy, before the ICC investigated

58:57

Benjamin Argu, me and you, we actually wrote to the IC, I don’t I don’t know if you remember, not only did we have to

59:06

write, but we handed over a copy of our passport to the IPC to say, “We want this to be investigated.” And they duly

59:14

investigated along with other people also put in the case. So I think that civilians

59:20

will benefit from being able to make uh their case to the ICC. The evidence is contained in this report.

59:29

Very powerful point, Claudia. Thank you very much. Yes. Uh we will obviously ask our supporters and everybody else to pressurize MPs on it. But you’re quite

59:38

right. We are not demanding the government investigate itself. My point in my bill was an independent parliamentary investigation in it or a

59:47

judge-led inquiry as there was with chillock kind of principle. But you’re quite right. It is a question about

59:53

complicity and reference to the judicial authorities being the ICJ and the ICC. I don’t know if I want to add to that particular one.

1:00:02

Okay. Any other questions?

1:00:06

Okay. Could I then conclude the event here in exactly one hour? How’s that for efficiency and timekeeping? Thank you very very much everyone for coming.

1:00:15

Thank you for the work you put into this report. If this report achieves anything, it’s to raise consciousness.

1:00:21

It’s to do something about the desperate situation of the people of Gaza and increasingly the West Bank and the wars that are going on now in southern

1:00:30

Lebanon, Iran, and elsewhere. This is a plea that those that are held responsible for the supply of weapons,

1:00:38

for the bombardment, for the for the genocide, for the starvation, for the war crimes are actually held to account.

1:00:46

Held to account, it won’t bring back the 71,000 who are dead. It won’t stop the mental health disaster that is going to

1:00:53

befall the people of Palestine for decades and decades to come. But it might just do something to stop or pause

1:01:01

or prevent the next round of politicians doing exactly the same somewhere else.

1:01:06

It is about holding to account those that make what they think are the easy popular decisions to send weapons, to

1:01:13

send bombs, knowing full well the people who die are the children. The places that are bombed are the schools and the

1:01:22

hospitals and the homes and the roads and the sewage treatment plants and all the rest of it. I think it’s a disgrace

1:01:29

that in the 21st century we’re watching on live television war crimes being committed by the Our report is designed

1:01:37

to at least for the Gaza Tribunal hold those responsible for what they’ve done to the

1:01:44

people of Gaza and we won’t rest until they are held responsible. Thank you very much all for your attendance today.
