Mark, you have a way to cut through the BS and report without bias (I wish the BBC could do the same). It's time to hold the Government of Israel to account for the crimes it has perpetrated since 1948 (and before). Our government should be refusing to sell arms to Israel, expel the ambassador and close the embassy until they comply with International Law.
The state of Palestine already existed since before 1948 when the British army was occupying the place.
From 1948 onwards, Jewish people from around the world came to live in this newly invented country called 'Israel' it was created in a sympathetic act against the then recent Nazi atrocities perpetrated on the Jews, Gypsies & other minorities. The latter were not welcomed in Israel, only the Jews.
As a traumatised people, given a new home in another people's country, one of their first acts was to attack their hosts and renege on the treaties that the British had arranged in order to give these poor people a home.
From the beginning the Israelis have persecuted the established Palestinian population who had been forced by the British occupiers of Palestine to give up some of their country to create this new country called Israel.
This abuse of the blameless Palestinians of 1948 by the traumatised, abused Jews of WW2 has to stop. The Israelis need to be healed of their ancient trauma and helped to live like decent human beings, giving respect to all other human beings.
I wonder where this leaves the proscribing of Palestinian Action and all the arrests of resulted from that. The driving force for most of the people arrested seems to be a desire for peace in the region so it will be interesting to see how this develops.
We can but hope. It seems imperative that the UK government refuses to sell all arms and arms components to Israel immediately, and that they publicly state that the Israeli government is committing genocide in Gaza. Without these minimal actions the declaration of Palestinian statehood is meaningless.

Very well said and I couldn't agree more.
Where was the State of Israel created in 1948? = PALESTINE!

Another clear and concise explanation of a fraught and complex issue.
Would that the BBC could present the story so straightforwardly and honestly.

There are 2 rogue states in the way of peace in Palestine ( & the Middle East in general) they are Israel & USA/Gilead.

Better LATE than never.
Britain has already changed its official language from "Occupied Palestinian Territories" to "Palestine" on government websites.
Well written!
It’s time to arrest Starmer.
