UK is running spy flights for Israel, or now contracting them out to US mercenaries, to help Israel turn Gaza into rubble and mass slaughter Civilians. The UK claimed it would be solely for hostage rescue, but there was hardly any hostages recovered by military means and certainly no daily attempts at rescuing hostages, but Britain provided intel daily for the past almost two years.
The UK government said they stopped their flights amid mounting pressure, but that was just a lie as they contracted it out instead to distance themselves, which also indicates that they know exactly which crimes they have been and are supporting.
Well then war crimes are just pointless. Every single NATO country that helped USA in the middle east are by association, guilty of warcrimes. If everyone is guilty of warcrimes and noone gets punished for it, warcrimes don’t matter.
I mean, the world is a fucked up place, and a lot of evil people are in charge. That’s one reason why people point out when countries do war crimes though, to point out the hypocrisy and to make sure people understand the fucked up things their countries do. You shouldn’t be getting upset at the people pointing out was crimes when war crimes are committed, you should be getting upset at the countries committing war crimes.
Nah, I don’t think so. I think it’s imperative to point out which countries help other countries commit atrocities. The fact that that’s most countries is depressing, but it isn’t meaningless.
So basically the UK outsourced intelligence gathering to a US contractor, while pretending they had stopped? That sounds like an attempt to avoid accountability rather than a real change of policy.
The UK was caught directly participating in the operations, so they are helping a country that is not their ally commit a genocide without declaring war on Palestine themselves.
I agree that Israel bad, but can someone explain what the war crime is here? I’m not asking as a gotcha, just confused

Additionaly: how is the UK involved in a US company flying over Gaza gathering intelligence for Israel.
Like, fuck Israel and their genocidal leadership, but I fail to see the logic of this post.
The UK military is hiring US mercenaries to continue their spy operation
So alleged financing of surveillance is… war crime evidence? Even without the starvation and actual munitions deliveries, this would be weak as hell.
You know there is footage of soldiers firing on civilians like every day of the week, right?
Aiding a country doing war crimes is a war crime, yes

I’m not getting upset at the people pointing it out, I’m saying that guilty by simply aiding a country makes the whole warcrimes thing pointless.

The genocide would be the war crime.
