Labour party delegates have voted that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza and should be sanctioned, in a shock development at the annual party conference.

The unprecedented move means that the Labour conference has officially accepted the findings of a recent UN Commission of Inquiry report, which found that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, and has backed comprehensive sanctions on Israel and a full arms embargo.

It signals significant discontent among the Labour rank and file with government policy. Britain recognised a Palestinian state last week but has rejected calls to denounce Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocide.

    No, they aren’t. I’ve provided evidence to support my claim. If the BBC isn’t good enough, here’s Oxfam confirming that we sell arms to Israel, and if that’s still not good enough, here’s the House of Commons itself, saying that we sell arms to Israel.
    You’re claiming that arms sales to Israel are banned. Could you provide any evidence for this?
