UK’s Lord Carlile Quits Pro-Israel Advocacy Group

Lord Carlile, a cross-bench peer in the UK’s House of Lords, resigned as a patron of UK Lawyers for Israel. His resignation comes at a time when the UK government has faced mounting pressure over its recent decision to suspend 8.5% of arms sales to Israel amid the ongoing genocide in Gaza, which has resulted in the deaths of over 41,000 Palestinians, most of whom are women and children according to the Quds News Network.
Lord Carlile, who is Jewish, recently penned an article in The Independent titled “Keir Starmer was Right to Take These Small but Meaningful Steps over Israel.” In his piece, he defended Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s decision to suspend the arms sales, calling it a bold and legally sound move. Carlile emphasized that the decision aligns with the UK’s historical commitment to the Rule of Law and condemned the overreactions from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and some British figures.
Netanyahu has reportedly expressed strong opposition to the UK’s decision, a stance that Carlile criticized as “wildly disproportionate.” The Israeli prime minister’s obstinate resistance to ceasefire talks, despite mounting international pressure, has drawn further scrutiny. Carlile noted that Netanyahu’s refusal to heed advice from Israeli army commanders, prisoners’ families, and even US President Joe Biden has raised serious concerns about his leadership.
The UK’s decision follows similar actions taken by several of its international allies. Countries like Italy, Belgium, Denmark, and Spain have all halted arms exports to Israel, citing legal grounds. Despite facing intense backlash, Starmer’s administration, supported by legal advice dating back to February, moved forward with suspending a minority of the contracts. Notably, UK-made parts for Israel’s F-15 fighter jets are not included in the suspension, signaling a cautious approach to avoid severe diplomatic fallout.
Lord Carlile’s article also pointed out that Jews who criticize other Jews over such matters are undermining the very freedoms for which their ancestors fought. He expressed dismay at how some figures in the Jewish community, including the UK’s Chief Rabbi, have reacted to the arms suspension.
Israeli Army Kills 3 Captives, Hides The Fact!

The Israeli army mistakenly killed three of its captives, including two soldiers, during a raid on Gaza in December 2023 and concealed it from the public, local media reported Monday.
Israel’s Channel 12 said the three Israeli captives – Nik Beizer, Ron Sherman and Elia Toledano – were killed in an Israeli airstrike that targeted a senior military leader of the Palestinian group Hamas in northern Gaza.
According to the channel, the Israeli army did not know there were Israeli captives present along with the Hamas leader but has known the details of their deaths since February but chose not to publicize them.
In mid-December, the army said it retrieved the bodies of three Israelis from a tunnel who were captured alive by Hamas on Oct. 7 last year.
Commenting on the report, Israeli army spokesperson Daniel Hagari said the army is continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the deaths of the three Israelis and will present the results to their families according to Anadolu.
Similar incidents of killing Israeli captives were announced by the army in the course of its devastating bombardments across the Gaza Strip since 7 October, 2023.
Israel estimates that over 100 hostages are still being held by Hamas in Gaza, some of whom are believed to have been already killed.
Israel’s ongoing war on the Gaza Strip has killed nearly 41,100 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured nearly 94,800 others, according to local health authorities.
An ongoing blockade of the enclave has led to severe shortages of food, clean water and medicine, leaving much of the region in ruins.
Israel faces accusations of genocide for its actions in Gaza at the International Court of Justice.
Truth Be Told….

Palestinian groups, Monday, said Turkish-American activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi “will remain an icon” for the Palestinian struggle on the local and international levels.
Eygi, 26, a dual citizen of Türkiye and the US, was shot dead by Israeli forces during a Friday protest against illegal Israeli settlements in the town of Beita in the occupied West Bank.
In a statement, the National and Islamic Forces, an umbrella that includes most of the Palestinian groups, said: “Martyr Aysenur will remain an icon for the struggle and fighting at the Palestinian and international levels.”
“Many solidarity activists join our Palestinian people in the activities of the popular resistance in the towns and villages that are exposed to (Israeli) colonization and expropriation,” the statement read.
The Palestinian groups considered Eygi’s death as a confirmation of Israel’s implementing of the policies of killing, expulsion, and ban-of-entry for international solidarity activists.
The statement stressed the importance for punishing Israel for its indifference towards the life of international solidarity activists who stand against Israeli occupation and settlements construction on the occupied Palestinian territories.
Early on Monday, hundreds of Palestinians in the West Bank city of Nablus paid farewell to activist Eygi. The funeral procession began from Rafidia Government Hospital in Nablus, with mourners walking through several streets, chanting slogans condemning Israeli actions and praising foreign supporters, according to an Anadolu reporter.
Eygi’s body is expected to be transported to Türkiye.
The Israeli military has yet to comment on the specifics of the incident or the findings of the autopsy.
Eygi’s killing echoes the case of American-Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, who was killed in a similar manner in 2022.

The genocide in Gaza speeds up as Israeli warplanes and drones continue to target different parts of the Strip after nearly a year of bombings and attacks.
On Tuesday morning at least five people were killed in an Israeli strike targeting a falafel stand in the Al-Daraj neighborhood, east of Gaza City.
Meanwhile the horrors continue. At least 40 displaced Palestinian civilians were killed and over 60 others were injured in a deadly Israeli massacre, Monday night, in Al Mawasi to the West of Khan Younis.
According to the Israeli army this is an area that is designated as “safe” and they have been telling the displaced people in Rafah and elsewhere to go there.
At least 20 tents were wiped out because of the scales of the bombs dropped on the area.
“Entire families have disappeared among the sand dunes following the Israeli massacre in Al Mawasi,” said Civil Defense spokesman Mahmood Al Bussle.
It was a horrendous attack as American-supplied MK 2000-pound bombs indiscriminately falling on the tents that created three massive holes in the ground.
