Bristolians, Gordon Brown spat on our call for a cease-fire in Gaza.

The “moral tipping point” is passed as Gordon Brown calls for more time for Israeli atrocities.

While we were marching through Bristol on Saturday, 3rd January 2009, Gordon Brown was in Europe secretly asking for tacit support for the American veto, a veto that gave Israel more time to slaughter Palestinians living in Gaza.

And all the time Gordon Brown was telling the world that he was calling for a halt to this atrocious Israeli offensive.

How low can a politician stoop?

By aligning himself with America and Israel in this massacre, Gordon Brown has shown himself up to be a hypocrite and a liar, a war criminal, and is a criminal against humanity.

What a disgusting spectacle, one and a half million people herded into the largest concentration camp in the world by Israel. Deprived of food and medicines by Israel, and then bombarded with high tech weapons, by Israel.

There are no sides to this onslaught, it is simply wrong.

Occupiers have no rights in law, it’s as simple as that.

And if the occupiers find the occasional inaccurate home made rocket falling close to them, then they should get themselves out of range and retreat to the pre-1967 borders. They should relinquish the land that they have stolen since 1967, and the homes that they continue to steal from Palestine.

When, Gordon “Israel has no greater friend” Brown, defends these outrages with lies platitudes and inaction, what hope is there for peace?

And when our media, crawling with criminals, turns a blind eye to crimes against humanity, what hope is there for justice?

Israel is the greatest flouter of International Law with a total disregard for many UN resolutions, and when our leaders align themselves with a criminal state, what can we do?

For my part, never, ever again will I buy products from Israel.

Israel doesn’t want peace, Israel covets the whole of Palestine and to this end it serves Israel’s purpose very well to see the conflict continue.

Palestine has repeatedly said that it will recognise Israel of pre-1967 borders in return for a sovereign Palestinian state - just 22% of it original homeland.

In 2008 and earlier, democratically elected Hamas agreed to unilateral cease-fires in spite of repeated Israeli violations and the siege of Gaza.

Hamas responds only in self-defence as is allowed under International Law, yet Washington, Israel, and the UK call it "terrorism."

Israel doesn’t want peace, Israel covets the whole of Palestine and to this end Israel is very happy to see the killing continue.

Wake up, the World, are we going to allow millions of innocents to be trampled into the ground by the rogue state of Israel?

Each one of us must examine our consciences, for together we can make this stop.

Israel is a serial aggressor.
Its lawlessness can no longer be tolerated.
Its human rights abuses must stop.
Its war crimes must be punished.
Its occupation and colonisation must end.

Palestinians must be given their long-denied human rights as an internationally recognised sovereign state, free from Israeli oppression.
