<![CDATA[The Foreign Enlistment Act of 1870 explicitly prohibits “engagement in the military or naval service of any foreign state at war with any foreign state at peace with Her Majesty”]]>The Foreign Enlistment Act of 1870 explicitly prohibits “engagement in the military or naval service of any foreign state at war with any foreign state at peace with Her Majesty”

The United Kingdom formally recognised the Palestinian state on September 22, 2025

A Freedom of Information request by the Jewish Voice for Labour has revealed that over 2,000 UK citizens have served in the Israeli military during the Gaza genocide.

Authorising prosecutions is the responsibility of the Attorney General. The current AG is Richard Hermer who has said: “I have dear family members currently serving in the IDF.” And Hermer is not alone, his predecessor Suella Braveman also reported: having: “close family members who serve in the IDF.

Harmer's reluctance to prosecute IDF soldiers is matched only by his enthusiasm to sign off terrorism charges against people peacefully holding placards saying “I oppose Genocide, I support Palestine Action”

Is this just?

"The Occupied Palestinian Territories are not currently recognised as a state by the UK. It is the UK government's longstanding position that the Fourth Geneva Convention applies to the Occupied Palestinian Territories, and that Israel is an occupying power under that convention. The 1870 Act therefore does not apply in this instance"

The occupied regions of Palestine are not part of Palestine, he seems to say.

Such tosh
