I do find it shocking that the formerly respectful media organisation, BBC, has not shown any interest in this extremely newsworthy speech!!
The BBC has become vulgar in its blind protection of Israel - as if they see that as their primary objective, above all else.

🇬🇧 Conservative MP Mark Pritchard: “I have supported Israel at all costs - today I want to say I got it wrong. I condemn Israel for what it is doing to the Palestinian people in Gaza and indeed in the West Bank… the life of a Palestinian child is as precious as the life of a Jewish child."

Even Mark is realising Israel's actions are indefensible.

The Israeli vote to annex Gaza and expel Palestinians makes undeniably obvious that—whether they like it or not, and whether they accept this truth or not—all those who defended Israel over the last 19 months functioned as advocates for a colonial genocide. It's that simple.

Please note: The only reason Trump is able to refer to Gaza as a "demolition site", is because Democrats - led by the most depraved precident in recent history - bankrolled and blessed the total annihilation of the area and it's people.
