Cameron says Israeli government hasn’t shown intent to commit genocide. See him proved wrong
UK Foreign Secretary David (Lord!) Cameron told TV interviewer Trevor Phillips that Israel has not shown any intent to commit genocide, in support of the Tory government’s refusal to accept the case put forward by South Africa at the International Criminal Court.
This is a false claim.
There are numerous examples. It is bizarre and unrealistic for the Foreign Secretary to claim there are not, because it would indicate that he is unprofessional – he can’t do his job properly.
But – well, see for yourself. Here’s an ‘X’ thread with his denial and then numerous examples disproving it:
Many Israeli leaders stated there are no innocent Palestinians in Gaza – Israeli President Herzog: “It’s an entire nation out there that is responsible. This rhetoric about civilians not aware, not involved, it’s absolutely not true. They could’ve risen up, they could have fought…

Israeli agriculture minister, Avi Dichter, said that the military campaign in Gaza was explicitly designed to force the mass displacement of Palestinians. “We are now rolling out the Gaza nakba,” he said in a television interview. “Gaza nakba 2023.”https://t.co/5hKpD4BPkc

So, if Cameron and his prime minister, Rishi Sunak, have used this claim – that Israel has shown no intent to commit genocide – as even part of their justification for opposing South Africa’s genocide case against Israel, then they are mistaken and this statement…
“South Africa’s case is “completely unjustified and wrong.
“The UK government stands by Israel’s clear right to defend itself within the framework of international law,”
… is wrong.

Richard Burgon Labour MP is compiling lists of evidence of genocidal intent to be put before Parliament very soon.. Could you please send him all of these references?
Cameron lies again because he refuses to accept fascist/zionist Israeli regime has publicly declared it will murder all Palestinians because they aren’t human! As usual politicians denying the evidence because it suits their agenda and as always money and profits are reason why Cameron and his fascist tory cronies as well as Starmer are all singing the same lies!
