Today, you hold a position of immense responsibility and global influence. Yet, as Israel continues to commit well-documented war crimes—killing over 35,000 Palestinians, deliberately starving civilians by blocking aid, and openly admitting to policies of collective punishment—your government’s response has been silence, complicity, or worse. While the UK has shown concrete solidarity with Ukraine, Palestinian lives seemingly warrant only hollow rhetoric.

The ongoing massacre in Gaza is not merely a failure of diplomacy; it is a moral catastrophe. Your refusal to condemn Israel’s actions unequivocally, coupled with the UK’s continued supply of weapons enabling this slaughter, implicates you in what legal scholars and human rights organisations describe as genocide. History will remember this moment—and your role in it. It will judge whether you stood by as a second Nakba unfolded or whether you found the courage to act.

Do not forget: the British government bears historical responsibility for the dispossession of Palestinians in 1948. Now, under your watch, that injustice is being repeated.

I should not need to remind you of the West’s complicity in the Holocaust, or its later support for apartheid South Africa. Yet today, the parallels between those atrocities and Israel’s actions in Gaza are undeniable. The bitter irony is profound: victims of the Holocaust have become oppressors, while Western governments, including the UK, stand silent. For over 75 years, Palestinians have endured treatment reminiscent of what Jews suffered under Nazi Germany and Black South Africans under apartheid.

The world commemorates the Holocaust and celebrates South Africa’s anti-apartheid struggle, yet denies Palestinians the same recognition. This is the West’s glaring double standard. The UK was wrong to enable apartheid South Africa; it is wrong now to arm Israel’s apartheid regime and excuse its war crimes. History repeats not by accident, but by the same moral failures.

I urge you to reclaim the moral leadership expected of your office:
1. Demand an immediate, permanent ceasefire.
2. End all arms sales and military collaboration with Israel.
3. Impose severe economic sanctions and a full military embargo.
4. Use every diplomatic tool to halt this genocide and hold perpetrators accountable.

Enough empty rhetoric. The UK cannot claim to champion human rights while arming and shielding a state committing atrocities it once swore to “never again” tolerate.

I look forward to your response, detailing how you will act to end UK complicity in these crimes.
Your sincerely
