I hope it is clear at this stage that there is no level of atrocity that Israel is not willing to commit against the Palestinian people. It should have been clear long before now for a state that was built on ethnic cleansing on an ongoing basis, on apartheid and on a 17-year-long siege of Gaza, but now, when we look at the massacre in Gaza, it should be clear.
Under the genocide convention, states are required to prevent, not just punish, genocide. What is the Government going to do to prevent what is clearly a genocide?
