Israel’s war on Gaza and the situation in Palestine are significant issues for many voters in the upcoming UK general election. Middle East Eye interviewed Jonathan Purcell from the International Centre of Justice for Palestinians to discuss how pivotal and decisive the parties’ policies on Palestine could influence the outcome of the general election in the UK, on 4th July.

Even by zionist standards, it is Palestine that has the right to defend itself. After all, "israel" attacked first and "israel" took hostages first. It's so simple, which is why "israel" needs to make the situation look complicated!

I'm sorry for the innocent Israeli people. I honestly feel like Israel is heading towards civil war, with a western, liberal, democratic side in Tel Aviv vs a religious extremist paramilitary of well armed settlers led by Smotrich and Ben Gvir. Giving any power to the far-right religious zealots was the worst thing Mileikowsky could have done for Israel. Kinda like when von Hindenburg let an extreme right winger into his government in the 1930s and ended up being shoved out and put under house arrest.

I've voted for 'The Workers Party of Britain' lead by George Galloway, one of the most passionate and compassionate defenders of the Palestinian people and their right to self determination and to have a state recognised and I think at this stage it has to be a 1 state solution where all citizens of The Holy Land of all ethnicities and religions live under equal rights under the law of the whole land; going forward as one nation of many peoples with their own individual beliefs, rights and protections!

"There is no such thing as Palestine in history, absolutely not." -- Arab Princeton Professor, Philip Hitti, before the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry in Jerusalem in 1946. "We [Palestinians] were never an independent state in history, we were part of an Arab state and an Islamic state.” -- Palestinian Hamas Foreign Minister Mahmoud Zahhar (quoted in The Economist, February 2, 2008) If Palestine were an Arab state, at any point in recorded history, why was there no mention of them? Because there never was an Arab Palestinian nation, nor any nation called Palestine, ever. In 1964 Yasser Arafat visited Moscow, USSR. While there, the Soviet KGB (secret service) developed a strategy for him. Arafat would be the leader of a new organization named PLO, Palestinian liberation organization. The KGB recommended that the Arabs create a new identity for themselves that would called Palestinian. So where are the geographical roots of the so called Palestinians??????? Hamas Minister of the Interior and of National Security Fathi Hammad, aired by Al-Hekma TV on March 23, 2012. Stated..........we all have Arab roots, and every Palestinian, in Gaza and throughout Palestine, can prove his Arab roots - whether from Saudi Arabia, from Yemen, or anywhere. We have blood ties. Personally, half my family is Egyptian. We are all like that. More than 30 families in the Gaza Strip are called Al-Masri ["Egyptian"]. Brothers, half of the Palestinians are Egyptians and the other half are Saudis. Who are the Palestinians? We have many families called Al-Masri, whose roots are Egyptian. Egyptian! They may be from Alexandria, from Cairo, from Dumietta, from the North, from Aswan, from Upper Egypt. We are Egyptians. The so called Palestinians are not even from Palestine!!!!!!
