Israel has just destroyed an international media centre in Gaza, home for many different media companies. They have also targetted refugee centres, killing families and destroying homes. There has been no international condemnation. The UK government hasn't said anything. What use is International law?

Thanks Grany andgrowstuff The huge contrast between the actions of government and people is shocking, Let's hope the people prevail.

I can’t see any sanctions on Israel to be honest. In fact I can’t see how this is going to end realistically.

As for GB selling arms to various countries........governments/politics is a very dirty business. The human cost is truly dreadful but how to stop it?

There won’t be any sanctions on Israel and this violence will be repeated. This has been the pattern for the past decades and until there is proper discussion and some agreement it will be ongoing. More is the pity.
