UK citizen arrived in country with wife and three teenage children days before the Hamas assault on Israel
with his young family after going there to visit his parents has called for UK parties to unite behind an immediate ceasefire, saying the way UK and world leaders were permitting the killing of Palestinian civilians, including children, would go down in history as “a stain on humanity”.
“When the F-16s come, it is really scary and traumatic. You hear them and then the hiss of the missile and then the big blast, and then you can smell the gunpowder. Such chilling testimony from a British citizen inside Gaza – who has already had to move five times – will add to pressure for politicians in the UK to demand restraint from the Israelis and to find ways to speed the supply of humanitarian aid.
He asked why it was that politicians would never have responded to the IRA attacks by bombing civilian areas of Belfast, while they were prepared to see Gaza attacked. “ imagine the British leaders saying: ‘The IRA is a terrorist organisation so we are going to kill all these people, all these civilians.’ I think this is really outrageous . I don’t understand how they allow this to happen.”
