Full exchange: Stephen Flynn grills Rishi Sunak over Israeli invasion of Rafah
Stephen Flynn grilled Rishi Sunak over the Israeli invasion of Rafah during a session of PMQs on Wednesday, 8 May.
SNP leader Stephen Flynn picks up the issue troubling many MPs - calling for an end to arms sales to Israel.
He congratulated new SNP Scottish First Minister Johnson Swinney, suggesting: “Our opponents should be careful what they wish for.”
Turning to Israel, he added: “As we await the imminent Israeli incursion into Rafah with 1.6 million children, it has been reported the US has paused an arms shipment. The UK will follow suit won’t it?”

I think they have drunk the dirty blood of Netansatan, they cannot see the truth, they’ve become blind, they see the truth as false and vice versa. Good knowledge and moral are dying and lies & hypocrisy are now prevailing and becoming the norm which means the end of the world is very close. These people will not never get away, perhaps on earth but not in the true real fair court in the hereafter. That’s why we have to believe that there is someone there in the sky, he is watching but giving these evils the chance to repent but they will turn their back. Don’t worry too much about the one who is dying, they are in a better place than the earth. This is their test and they are passing it with flying colours. How are we going to pass ours? Sitting by the TV watch them died? Blind ourselves without looking at the big picture, the root problem, provide the demon with arms?

It’s ironic how the government can criticise Vladimir Putin over Ukraine and taking a hardcore stance yet when it comes to a tyrant like Netanyahu & it’s tyrannical regime, the complicity is frightening and silence is deafening! Clearly the Palestinian 🇵🇸 lives don’t matter to this government as actions speak louder than words. So far this government has done nothing to prevent the loss of thousands of innocent lives. The government is complicit & history will never forgive or forget their failure and crimes

Let me educate you. 1- The Israeli occupation of Palestine 🇵🇸 began in 1967 & in the longest military occupation in modern history. Take not, it’s an occupation! Gaza is still under occupation under international law which is illegal. 2- The Israeli occupation of the West Bank is illegal. 3-In 1917 in order to win Jewish support for for Britain’s first world war efforts, The British Balfour declaration promised the establishment of a Jewish national home in Palestine 🇵🇸 please take note it was Palestine! 4- Over half century of occupation of East Jerusalem, West Bank and the Gaza Strip has resulted in systematic human rights violations against Palestinians living there. Israel’s ruthless policies of land confiscation, illegal settlements and dispossession, coupled with rampant discrimination, have inflicted immense suffering on Palestinians, depriving them of their basic human rights. 5- Israel has killed thousands of children including western aid workers, journalists, teachers and medical staff 6-Professor Noam Chomsky said: “Israel uses sophisticated fighter jets and naval vessels to bomb densely-crowded refugee camps,schools,apartment blocks,mosques and slums to attack a population that has no air force, no air defence, no navy, no heavy weapons, no artillery units,no mechanised armour,no command in control, no army… and if called it war. It is not a War, IT is MURDER!” - Professor Noam Chomsky 7- UN Chief Antonio Guterres said: ‘Hamas attack didn’t happen in a vacuum, Palestinians have been subjected to 56 years of suffocating occupation.’ 8- Of recent even the USA 🇺🇸 Israel’s greatest ally threatened to stop funding Israel because of its disproportionate response and subjecting Palestinian citizens to unbearable hardship and attacking Rafah 9- Israel has massacred over 40,000 people and many thousands under rubble or massing. Mass graves have been discovered. The cruelty and genocide carried out by Israel is something that can only be likened to the kind of brutality that was seen from the Nazis and what happened to the helpless Jewish people and minorities in the Holocaust and pogroms throughout Europe. 10- Noam Chomsky explicitly also said that the situation in Palestine 🇵🇸 is worse than apartheid! 11- Netanyahu and other Israeli officials have made genocidal statements and it’s all on record so their intent is clear both in word and action 12-Israel has violated many international laws and UN resolutions of the United Nations 🇺🇳 security council which are legally binding on United Nations member nations. I can go on all day and give you substantial details and evidence including quotes and references from intellectuals, aid workers, impartial parties, Jews. Politicians, statistics, reports etc to support the fact that the ultra nationalist Zionist regime of Israel has committed genocide, is committing genocide as we speak and is hell bent on eliminating life in Palestine 🇵🇸. Israel is an extension of American imperialism and many younger generations have realised have realised that Israel is a bully and has illegally stolen land from an indigenous popular have history rooted in this ancient land both in their culture, heritage and DNA. Hamas was simply a product of Israel’s brutal policies and dehumanising of the Palestinians for decades! The establishment of a Palestinian 🇵🇸 state is the only solution. Israel has demonstrated that it is not a force for peace and coexistence in the Middle East but rather it is divisive, created untold pain and suffering and is a destabilising force in the Middle East and even world politics. Isreal is using tax payers money to carry out its inhumane treatment of Palestinians which is beyond cruel, no words can describe the evil that Israel has inflicted upon civilians and children. People have have had enough of Israeli lies, Israeli propaganda and deception. People can see through it all now and their arrogance. The support for Palestine 🇵🇸 is growing and it’s brought about international support and attention like never seen before. Israeli leaders should face war crimes and should one day be accountable for their crimes
It's not just Sunak, but most of the establishment. This will be remembered as one of the most shameful episodes in recent British history

Um... you do know that Israel isn't the only country beginning with the letter "I" to have been partitioned from a Muslim-majority country beginning with a "P" in 1947 leading to brutal civil war and resulting in on-going conflict to this day... right? Obviously in the case of India-Pakistan it was a lot less one-sided than what the Zionists did in the creation of Israel, but people of Hindu background often grow up hearing somewhat one sided horror stories from the civil war that can make them more inclined to be supportive of Israel. It's a person's own personal experiences that are the only thing that matters, categories of people are a construct only of the language we use.

They don't recognise the Palestinian population as existing under international law, as the mechanism for doing so is by recognising the nation state that they are citizens of, so most of the Geneva Conventions don't actually apply, which is why those laws aren't considered to be being broken... there are other stateless people around the world, but they're mostly inside nations that don't recognise them... as far as I know, Palestinians are the only population that we keep completely outside the legal system. 140 countries do recognise them, just Europe, N.America and a few others that don't. Not recognising Palestine is what lets them do things that would otherwise be serious crimes. There's a lot of money in having a population that you can experiment on.
Free Palestine and Free Scotland too!
