It appears that the lessons learnt at the end of the 1800s with the Hague Conventions and the 1949 Geneva Conventions have been forgotten in Gaza. Much that the rockets should not have been fired on Israel, Israel's actions in Gaza in that they are resulting in the unnecessary deaths of non-combatants are in clear contravention of the 1949 Geneva Convention. Those firing rockets were also in contravention.
To that extent, therefore, I will be working with Councillor Ayoub Khan (a barrister) to produce a reference to the International Criminal Court to have this particular conflict investigated.
We will need to have one of the 108 signatories to the ICC make the formal reference. We will start by asking the UK to make this reference, but if the UK refuses we will look for another.

Otherwise I would think you are ignoring one side in an effort to chase Muslim votes.
What the Israelis are doing is using excessive force without one iota of thought given to civilians especially children, they are also causing suffering to many, more so than usual, Israel is suppose to be the good guy, Hamas the terrorist organization, however Israel is worse.
What Israel has done in this war is to severely damage their image.
