Can you also confirm that subjecting 2.3 million people in Gaza to a blockade for 16 years is act of terror ?and lately, the denial of water, food, medicine and electricity to them is a war-crime?

Two more tragic deaths fighting for a lost cause. The belief that Jews have God given supremacy and ownership of Palestine is a false belief. God almighty is not an estate agent and the entire world belongs to all his creation.

I will be joining the March for peace on the 11th November and ask all good Brits to join us on the call for another armistice day signing on that day. This in no way belittles the original on the 11th hour, off the 11th day, off the 11th month in 1918 that ended the brutal WWI.
