Bell Ribeiro-Addy: I’m a Labour MP – this is why I’ll vote for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza

The Independent  

Last night, a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza was voted down. It has levelled the majority of Gaza’s homes, displaced millions, cut off essential foodstuffs and medicines, shut down most of Gaza’s hospital capacity, claimed as many as 29,000 lives and has left many more with life-changing injuries and trauma. From the Sykes-Picot Agreement to the Balfour Declaration, the betrayals of McMahon, and the invasion of Allenby’s forces, our country’s imperial past created the contours of the current conflict. Recent history also makes it incumbent on us to act, with £472 million worth of military exports shipped to Israel since 2015. After Israel’s embattled far-right prime minister dismissed a ceasefire deal for the return of all hostages, freed hostage Adina Moshe told him that if the offensive continues, “there won’t be any hostages to release”.
