"...#UK / British Foreign Office diplomat Mark Smith resigns over Israel arms sales

Mark Smith, a British diplomat who worked on counter-terrorism at the Foreign Office, has resigned in protest over the UK government's arms sales to Israel.

In his resignation letter, he expressed concerns that the UK may be complicit in war crimes and said he had previously raised these issues through official channels but received no meaningful response.

Smith stated that there is no justification for continued arms sales to #Israel, given its repeated breaches of international humanitarian law..."

"..Just now Netanyahu killed 7 members of the same Palestinian family, days after killing 4 day old twins, and a week after killing 100 in a school.

Remember, Biden doesn't need to "push" for a ceasefire deal. He can just stop arming Netanyahu and firing will cease. Americans, Palestinians, & Israelis all want it. Stop arming Netanyahu. Period.."

"..On 20-21 August 1968, the Soviet Union and three other Warsaw Pact states invaded Czechoslovakia to stop liberalisation and democratic reforms. Some 250,000 (later 500 000) Warsaw Pact troops, supported by thousands of tanks and hundreds of aircraft, took part in the occupation of Czechoslovakia.."

"..The number of times I've heard proper political analysts say "Trump's handlers trying to get him to stay focused on policy" in the last few weeks is pretty funny because actual Republican policy is "unperson and mass murder all the mudpeople and end the heretical filth of constitutional democracy.".."
