The Israeli Ambassador, Tzipi Hotovely, has encouraged the full destruction of Gaza. This is a clear call for the genocide of Palestinians.
I’ve written to the Foreign Secretary, calling on him to condemn this and to take the strongest possible action against the Ambassador

“People knew about the ethnic cleansing of Palestine [in 1948]. You cannot kick out almost 1 million people & the world not knowing.
But there was a conscious decision that Israel should be allowed to do it as compensation for the holocaust, antisemitism, or as one American diplomat put it, we are allowing a small injustice in order to correct a much bigger injustice.
And that’s why Israel continued to ethnic cleansing, until 1967, Israel expelled 36 villages from inside Israel. During the '67 War, it expelled 300,000 Palestinians.
From 1967-today, Israel expelled more than 500,000 Palestinians from the West Bank & the Gaza Strip, and just before the 7th of October, ethnic cleansing operations were taking place in East Jerusalem, the south of Hebron & the Jordan Valley.
So expelling Palestinians either in small numbers or in large numbers is part of what Israel thinks is a legitimate arsenal of maintaining the viability of a Jewish state…” - Ilan Pappe

As you read this report, that Gaza is now uninhabitable, recall the Israeli statements & conduct that South Africa’s ICJ application referred to. This report also confirms the urgency cited by South Africa for issuing provisional measures against Israel’s genocide
