Al-Barghouti: UK sanctions insufficient to halt Gaza genocide
The article focused on the calls by Omar Barghouti, co-founder of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, for Britain to take bolder measures to halt the genocide in Gaza. It emphasizes that current sanctions—such as halting trade with illegal Israeli settlements or imposing penalties on officials—are insufficient, and that what is needed is the cessation of all forms of support for Israel, including military exports, trade agreements, and academic relations, which facilitate the ongoing Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories. Barghouti also links international resolutions, particularly the International Court of Justice's ruling in July 2024 declaring the occupation illegal, to the urgent need for strict measures to prevent genocide. He warns that continued support threatens Palestinian lives and prolongs the occupation. He advocates for the full use of international law to achieve justice, stressing that the power of the people is essential for liberation. This comes as Britain reviews its policy toward Israel, amid warnings about potential negative repercussions for peace and the two-state solution.
