As peaceful protestors are arrested for holding placards, starving Palestinians are being shot in the street.

This will go down as one of the most shameful moments in British legal history.

No amount of suppression can hide the truth: our government is complicit in genocide.

What does the UK do to ensure British companies are not complicit in Israel's illegal settlements?

Basically, nothing. The government doesn't encourage them and simply says they "should be aware of potential reputational implications".
